Glad to hear you were able to mitigate things with the treatment and just a slight drop in poundage! Definitely a no-brainer to keep the train rolling. You can build great muscle on lighter... -
Hell yeah, man. How far does that put you off the ultimate goal of an elite total if you shoot for it at 220? Any chance you think you could reasonably take the weight down to 205-210 over the...

First off congrats on a great weekend to both of you. Sounds like a near perfect weekend for both of you minus a single bench. You should be incredibly proud of that squat and the mental component...
-
That’s because any squats burn more oxygen than benchpress!
-
Sounds like a good session followed by a wet tshirt contest. Winning!!!

Squats 5 x 150, 170 3 x 205 3 x 240, 275 5 x 310 BBB 5 x 10 x 175 Notes No jokers taken. Even though I felt like I put it all out there, maybe 1RIR, after a couple minutes I definitely felt...

83lbs to do 1,642 @220. Which sounds like a lot, but imagine training at maintenance now and actually just not getting injured to even string together several months of good work. It could have...

Man, what an accomplishment! That is f-ing awesome! Meet PR’s, DOT PR is just absolutely amazing. Great work on your prep and great work on taking the chance you did on your last squat. That...

Wow man! Amazing meet for you and the wife! What an awesome story and gets me pumped up!! Congrats

gphagan1 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.A lot of that extra work you like to put in, like Jokers etc., I believe that mindset can be traced back to your Xfit days. After all that’s the mindset to go balls to the walls and hold nothing...

Roger that! 🫡 Spotter bro date lined up for monday. I told him we go for broke, then break some more. Amen!
-
I mean I think you should feel relatively confident you can get it. Maybe something like 75% or so. I don't think you should be breaking the bank trying a rep you feel you won't get just to grind...
-
Got it, understood, aligning more thought into gameplan. I definitely get pacing, I think thats a reason I did well competing in xfit style events with 7 min wods when the guy next to blows past...
-
Well it comes back to something i was going to mention when you asked me the other day regarding the CNS stuff, but then I lost it in another browser. That is that if you are doing an AMRAP, and...
-
You know, I hear you guys telling me things like this until you're blue in the face and I understand it on paper but I just haven't been able to fully adjust to that yet. Sometimes I can get there...
-
If you hit 290x1 then there is nothing left for the joker because that means rep 2 smoked you and you failed the attempt. Only one way to PR that day sir!!! 290x2!!!! Stop the nonsense! Love ya!
-
I think if you compiled your lifting career up until now with training, injuries, successes and struggles, you could write a really great book. That was pure joy to read man, honestly phenomenal...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Man I knew you were going to blast some new PRs, and not only did you obliterate your previous PRs you get Best Lifter and one of your most complete meets ever. And I love hearing about your...

Someone made a really cool video of all my lifts from this meet edited together, but they put my name on it & it’s public on YT, so I don’t want to post that publicly - PM me if any of you guys...
-
Alright, on to the meet! As posted, I won Best Untested Male Lifter, so you all know it went great already 🏆🔥✊ Woke up Saturday weighing 220.2lbs at 6am: Went to the strongman show to handle...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Man that is so awesome…you guys are a family of Champions. You’re wife is so impressive…first she takes second in the event a couple weeks ago and then to turn around and put in this first place...
-
That is so cool what your wife did. Plus extra cash is always a good thing
-
Me too bro! She’s a beast and has killed it, I mean absolutely killed it in her last two or three comps. But I want to know how he peaked on his lifts!
-
I love that he felt she deserved her own post, and agree, but now... I wanna hear all about his!
-
I know you’re proud of her. That’s a great showing of her hard work and competitive drive she has! Congrats to her! Now, how did your lifts go?
-
So awesome that she won, congrats to her and you since I know you share in her joy!!! Now waiting for the details of your competition!!!! Also that is the coolest trophy ever!!!!!

Sorry for the delay; needed a day to decompress after the intensity of the weekend! Where to begin?? First, my wife - she crushes it at the PSL Masters show. With America’s Strongest Master in...

In High School I had an Odyssey 2 (by Magnavox). It was fun, but we used it up (until the controllers broke), and packed it up. I never got a system after that, but years later, when my nephew...
