Lol too funny. I learned how to grow just cause I wanted to and I think the plants are pretty but I still just don't really like the stuff [emoji23]. I wish I did but it's just not really my... -
gphagan1 replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Great job brother….it looks like you outperformed what you thought you could do on all 3 lifts, now that’s the way to finish strong.💪😎👍

Thank you, I really did. You know, that's exactly the thing my wife (who has no interest in working out or fitness stuff like this in general) commented on afterwards! She thought it was...

Heck yeah awesome job man! Sounds like it went great!

That's awesome man, loved reading about your day! Without watching you lift, but reading your log over the years, I would have agreed with the judges just off instinct that you likely already have...

Congrats on the meet. Sounds like you had a really great times/ experience and family was there to cheer you on. One thing I have always loved about powerlifting meets is everyone cheers for...

OK fellas, my first meet is officially in the books! It was Saturday AM for those asking. Bit of a walk through before the good stuff (#s): Weigh ins were called for 8:30, so I was up at 7 and...

Good luck today! You will be very nervous, but try to remember to have fun maxing out! Whatever happens, a first meet is just about getting out there on the platform. It takes some guts to go put...

Good luck today and have fun!!!

The only other thing to remember, wait for the cue. You will be excited and might be tempted to follow your normal pause tempo, however you need to wait for the command. The last thing you want is...

You will want to warm up to a weight heavy enough you feel well-prepared for your 185 opener neurologically - 165 for a top single is likely perfect to open 185. Focus on setting up well before...

Also, on the deloads - if you feel refreshed and solid going into the next wave, that’s basically what matters. So if you feel stronger doing things a certain way AND seeing good...

You answered your question on Spotos. If you aren’t using your lats to control and hold the weight well, it will be exposed instantly. And it’s harder than just pausing comp bench at the chest, so...

I'm fat, not menstruating [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Kleens right though, done carefully I can lean up a bit and keep the gain train going. It just requires the discipline of a monk. Once I flip...

Stuff the Twinkie with some d-bol then peanut butter- anabolic Twinkie 😎

I think if done well, he could but it would some wiggle room possibly moving training around on a day to allow for it. He was hitting PR's while losing 10lbs in a month doing ADF, so I think it...

It’s hoodie and comfy pants season, embrace it! Now go eat a Twinkie and a PBJ on sourdough

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.No, right now 2.5 lbs is the lowest we have, but he is getting us a large set of Rogue calibrated plates in December and that will have microplates with it, so that might be perfect. That’s...
-
Do you have access to microplates? Going up just 1-2.2lbs for a while could let you keep it heavier longer before waving the weight down some. Which, you might even get stronger faster anyway...

No please do! I’m glad you posted those! I should have taken some pics but I sadly took very few on our trip! It really is cool and would be fun to explore! I’m sure we will go back in the spring! -
I know, weird how they pick the oldest threads they can find and give a silly answer.

Oil and vinegar is usually what I use too; I was just curious! I was thinking Man I hope he’s using SOME kind of dressing 😆
