I’m assuming you don’t have a coach, so my advice is based on that (if you do, listen to them).
The water GH adds varies but it will come off fast if you pull it, within a few days. So I would...
I definitely believe in warming up the mixed grip for the reasons you presented. It’s only hook grip that I meant you can just jump into top intensity, and even then only if very...
There’s a lot of truth in what Hyde was saying about using straps. Trying to target a specific body part like RDL/SDL you don’t want your grip to fail before you exhaust the targeted body part...
since I cant switch grip cleans or snatch, I have trained a ton of DOH naturally. even though I know I'll likely go to switch grip on my heaviest sets of deads I try to keep it DOH for warm up...
I did a lot of glute bridges during my rehab. the big 3 for me were the RDL's, very high rack pull Deadlifts to get heavy weight in my hands, which I think stimulates growth/recovery, but safely...

The hacks were definitely harder! Part of my brain is always worried that my quads are going to blow off of my knees at the bottom on this hack it feels so heavy, but I just keep going and...
I know, it's a me thing lol. I always want to look a certain way. And Orlando and Disney is pretty much all sloppy middle-aged ppl. And my girl could care less. She likes when Im out of shape...
Yeah you’re looking good man….abs are still showing and even though it’s not your tip top shape, you’re still in shape…again you won’t have too much competition in Orlando, and I think your girl...
Of course I didn't stop after I ate that and I continued on with two bowls of frosted mini wheats cereal and a couple bites of ice cream.
Anywho, I'm definitely a little downsized but at least...
I’d say you’re looking pretty good man, especially from the bodyfat perspective. Nobody knows how muscular you have been when they see you; they only see what’s in front of them. So if you’re lean...
I love how venerable you are and how well you express things! A LOT of what you said here expresses the mindset I’ve tried to focus on the past several years! Some days were much hard than others...
Jumping back in here! It’s been too long!
Still looks like a great session even if you didn’t feel it was a strong day! I feel those shifts a lot! Crazy how one day you can feel that way and...
I think half an inch or so since 250s, but really not much at all for dropping 30lbs - which I think has been key to keeping my bench strength nearly static over the descent. Keeping the muscle...
I would not recommend using a grip besides DOH for your deadlifts until it becomes a problem. I do not anticipate you will need to consider it this meet prep, and like you said it will strengthen...
Thanks I’m glad you are here!
Thanks! I miss doing heavy squat type movements but my hip issues make that too painful! I watched a girl close to my size hip thrust 365 with great form! Goals!!
