I was originally thinking a 165-170# opener. Now I'm feeling confident to do 180-185#. -

I can hear it now with the axe, "If you don't GTFO of here I am going to cut your yapping head off!!!"

even if he's mangy he actually looks good for it from that pic tbh. I had one sitting outside my bedroom window barking up a storm a few months ago. like a domestic dog in someones back yard...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.I missed this post yesterday, probably because I left at lunch to take my wife to the Doctor, but that was a great bench session…you pressed a lot of tonnage in all those sets.😎👍

My Ezetimibe landed yesterday, so I began that last night. Took 10mg to get it frontloaded, but will be 5mg nightly with my 5mg Rosuvastatin going forward. Double-checked the 2008 trial data to...

that was an awesome journey to watch you chase for sure

The only time I’ve ever benched 405, I damn sure put 4 plates on that bar!!! No doubt, it’s just what you do when you break the plate thresholds the first time. RIP Rocket; thank you for...
-
Haha, I remember this feeling, the first opportunity you have to put 315 on the bar at has to be 3 wheels per side and at least for a little while after. I think the only time I didn't was if...

living the dream. I can't wait to see 3 wheels on a clean raw effort 🤘 IDK what it is about 3 wheels, just looks monsterous. first time we did it with the slinger my buddy started stacking rando...

Just depends on where everything is at. 320 is the most I’ve taken in the 6 weeks since the meet, and I slept on my shoulder funny last night so pec felt iffy going into it on that side. I knew I...
-
What is the golden number that you always feel extremely confident you have even on a bad day? I figure knowing what you put up and attempted at that last meet 320 would not be intimidating for...
-
Yeah, that is a lot of work over 250 there, no doubt it was some serious work!
-
Now that’s some bench work!
-
When 320 went up very well, it was a relief. Then I realized I had 9 work sets ahead, and from there it was just a slog through the pounding. I mean I chose it & was satisfied when completed, but...

Looks like a fun session!

for cutting/dieting this food looks pretty dang good! man I'm a big believer this is what it takes. there are definitely more sessions that you have to push through than there are sessions that... -

yeah this is all making sense to me. I need to figure out how to modify the 531 template in a way that makes sense, maintains the current working sets but incorporates spottos and/or pauses and/or...
-
It sounds to me like you just didn't feel super confident from the beginning, and probably got in your head a little bit. I do agree with Hyde, you should have taken a bigger jump, but that is...

I didn't really know them as Spotos but I can tell you for sure when I needed to work on the point I needed to flare my elbows to complete the press that pausing just before that point, and then...

Happy birthday man! 44 is looking good already for you! Haha, love it! But probably true!

Nothing like taking out a few yotes for a lil time with Dad eh!

Yeah, you said you planned on getting shredded, so while i bet you look great right now you were tossing out 7% bodyfat a couple weeks ago so that is probably going to be a bit deeper. The last...

Hope the challenges at home with the boy get better and that you get a 2nd interview. On the squats, congrats on repeating the 195, when you say you will start higher, are you saying you will...

gphagan1 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Great job getting the work in….sounds like you squeezed all the juice out of that workout that you could. I bet you’re glad you didn’t listen to that little evil weak voice, and listened to the...

gphagan1 replied to the thread We cuttin now ✂️.You’re doing a good bit of cardio, that and eating a 1000 less calories, coupled with your job probably is why you are tired outside the gym. After your blood work you could add a little EQ, if...
