    Injured myself a week after that, been slowly rebuilding. Best lifts from last week: paused 345lbs close grip bench press beltless dealift, 8x465lbs. I’d say it was RPE5 one hand Deadlift...

    Now if I hit 180 and was not like pretty close to contest ready I would be shocked. I am thinking 183-187 to be very lean. I could be wrong but we will see. I think around 190 would be very good...

    well you hit the nail on the head with the lazy comment. I love him, but unless I poke him and say lets go every day at lunch, he will miss full weeks of lifting. most of his PRs came at times...

    I watched a guy once open at 565. He was a 220 wraps guy, and I don’t know if he took a single warmup in the back. Maybe 495 for a single that I missed. Every time I saw him he was just sitting...

    no he's competed a fair bit out here, not as much as me overall in barbell sports, but more than me specifically with like PL or Oly meets. He was a disciple of Rippetoe for a long time and even...

    Honestly man that’s a good-looking singlet and appropriately sized. Where else would the straps really go/stay? If they were placed moreso just on the traps, they will just slide down the angle...

    Has he competed before, or is he talking out his ass? That is a HUGE jump, and the CNS might not be ready for it. He might hit his rep, but it could take more out of him than his 2nd attempt would...

    50 reps spotto at 220lbs sounds like a lot more fun and moderately more challenging than the current 50 reps of like 160-170lbs for BBB.

    I was basically searching for all mentions of BBS on the book you sent me and generally it seems like a 10x5 approach on boring but strong could either be at 70% all three weeks, or run as FSL...

    You could use Spotos for Boring But Strong after your primary bench. Then to help pick up a tad more volume, which does seem to force the bench well, do one AMRAP (regular or closegrip) touch n...

    Eric Spoto (who was an ATWR raw benchpresser, arm wrestler and gym rat with generally enormous arms), famously trained all of his bench press coming down to within an inch or so of his chest. Now...

    When it gets cold enough I will keep them and a fur buyer comes around and just buys them whole. I used to skin all of them out and sell or tan them. I might pick that up down the road again...

    Outside of killing them as a nuissance, can you do anything with them? New leg warmers or something? LMAO

    A little frustrated with myself, I forgot I took my shoes out of my bag for my workout yesterday, and went to go to the gym at lunch for my core class and tada no shoes. Of course I am in my dress...

    I'm loving watching you and @Smont right now moving this way. I'm not going to go on a big cut and slow down my 531 progress any time soon, but maybe I'll make a couple small adjustments here and...

    my buddy was saying last night that if he was opening at say 435 he'd make his last warmup probably 315 or even lighter. that seemed insane to me lol.

    Sounds like you have been busy! Hopefully all turn out well. Squats are looking good and sounds like you have a plan.

    Once you get your lipids where you want them how long do you want to hang out in a good range before starting to climb back up? IE pushing food and gear up.

    this thread almost made me want to go on a cut. but then I remembered that my feet didn't hurt last night walking around the house in my socks and cardio would suck.

    aint that funny? and I'd probably be another 10lbs lower. When you see a ton of enhanced guys having to chase 180 to hit 10% or lower it really puts the big dogs like heath, cutler and coleman...

    Sounds like a hell of a plan. I have a feeling I will have to be in the 180's now to get into the single digits, but I honestly don't know. I also don't think I am going to go down that far unless...

    My next cycle will start with me lean, pain free and I should also be highly responsive to the addition of drugs and changes back to hypertrophy focused training.

    185 for sure. You have already knocked 3 reps out on it. Don't start so low you are afraid of the next jump. Plus you want it to feel a little heavy to prime for the next attempt.
