it is crazy what that stuff costs, live edge slabs can go for BIG money out here. we were shopping them for bar seating on our deck and the local places wanted up to like $800 EACH (we needed 2 or... -
Over what period of time? Layne likes to have funny battles on X and this one cracked me up. at 10% I should be squatting more than you by new years 😂 😂 I popped that 5% rule into excel...
-
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Adding 2-5% load to the bar weekly seems to be pretty safe for connective tissue that hasn’t experienced that load in a long time (or ever). This isn’t to say you...

PR city up in here!

I forgot to mention that using doh with straps did bother it somewhat; there was some slight pain when I began 545 Rackpull but I committed & the pull was fast. I found squeezing really hard on...
-
thats awesome, I imagine that 545 is just as great a test for the elbow as well, holding around 90%+ of your meet pull. maybe your elbow needed that hard 600lb day and some rest.

gphagan1 replied to the thread Weights up, scales down….You did a good job….that’s not easy with a chainsaw. I did that with about a 24” diameter Polplar tree we had down, a few years ago. Took a chainsaw and cut 4 slabs varying from 2 1/2” to 3”...

Was very difficult to keep the saw cut straight. It’s definitely not perfectly flat. I did level it out a lot with a grinder and the sanding pad.
-
awesome PR!! this has been my struggle for nearly a decade! Wife had a huge tree, like 4ft+ diameter dropped before I knew her and it always killed me that I didn't have the ability to mill it...
-
Thanks guys! It is turning out a lot better then I thought it would, I might need to go cut a couple more out of it
-
Good squats! Glad the bump in dosage is helping some of the afternoon fatigue. It can be hard trying to stay out of the overthinking getting in your head!

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.That’s a great point….there really isn’t any reason to go over 275, and I definitely don’t want to go too far with the shoulder, so 275 it is then.😎👍

Glad it was an awesome workout! From a science angle, adding about 5% load to the bar from a recent heaviest exposure is all they can say is generally safe from a connective tissue adaptation...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Weights up, scales down….Great workout, and congrats on the PR. Man that slab of wood is beautiful. And I love the smell of fresh cut cedar.😎👍
-
And that slab is looking pretty! Keep going!
-
Congrats on the new squat PR! The greatest PR to make in my book, maybe tied with deadlift. Both of those are the most satisfying, and essentially tell the world the sum of your overall strength...
