    Oh yeah, you absolutely need deloads recovering from injuries. I was like Dustin and really used to not value them and appreciate how they help. There’s no doubt in my mind that deloads are a big...

    Well Hyde said it better than I could. Being a better powerlifter will make you a better bodybuilder. Even if as you get older you want to move more towards bodybuilding …. Building that mass now...

    I think people misunderstand powerlifting often, because they see some fat powerlifters that don’t look like bodybuilders - so they assume they don’t have much muscle, or aren’t concerned with...

    In my experience it's a switch. You flip into BB or you don't. It's laser focused and it's absolute [emoji91][emoji91]. But for me my commitment means that four days a week I push my mental...

    I think you're spot on with those weights based on how everything felt. I'd say they were about RPE 7-8 on squats, 8 on bench, and 6-7 on deads. I'm still a bit undecided, but there's both a PL...
