So we are on set to failure away from a gay, and single Dustin? At least you are close to Portland. -
This is where powerlifting is more mentally taxing to me, than other forms of barbell sports. I mean I'm here to embrace the suck, but YES! you know you have a job to do and the expectation is...

sometimes on that top set I start locking in, get my hands placed, loop under the bar, find the scar tissue that runs horizontally across my back to wedge the knurling against and my head is going...

Also, I think it’s good to have TMs where they are for now, but if you test and say bench 315, reset the TM down to that at least - don’t keep on with the inflated value. If not lower, like...

Going over 8 reps on a squat AMRAP is mildly terrifying. Not because of the weight - because you know you CAN do it, and the expectation is you NEED to if you want to get better. So it’s going to...

You know Smont if you stopped wasting 120 calories on that bs creamer you’re using you could have another 30g protein or carbs. I use Coffee Mate Zero Sugar if I don’t drink it black, and it’s 10...

Didn't Sage get you some knee sleeves? I thought I remembered something along those lines, maybe back on fathers day or something? I get that. one of the reasons I've not done much cardio lately... -

What sucks is although I have been focusing on my shoulder, my knee has been the real PITA lately. It is really limiting leg training, I have to really work to even get to my work sets, and have...

dropping a few lbs are probably going to make your body feel better and healthier and you'll trade heavier aches and pains for gym aches and pains lol. the cycle is beautiful. when I was 240 I was...

Based on your response last weekend and especially your timeline being aggressive, no slow like mine, I really think that’s the right play. Just the one measured hi carb day every 7. DiPasquale...

that sounds awesome. I love doing 21s with ez bar curls as a finisher, but never thought about applying it to the shoulder routine there. I always log them as 21s, but they are 7 + 7 + 7

gphagan1 replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.I remember back in the mid 80s and into the 90s it got pretty popular to do 21s (7,7,7) as a finisher. Arnold I think was the first that talked about them in his book The New Encyclopedia of...

What he is doing right now is pretty damn close, but he is keeping enough in the tank for solid training. I will post up some pics this weekend. I have to takesome for the contest. I still have a...

dude I'm getting close here. Love your's and Hyde's progress, its really inspiring me. Not for a full blown bodybuilder style cut, but more of a leaning out while strength training like Hyde's...

AMEN! Haha, no, but the progress to the diet is. :) It is a Houston based place, so come on down and we can get a session in together and go for some solid food and amazing desserts after...

Good to hear you are on the mend!

I'm with you across the board there. I do think that in addition to the physical and mental health benefits at the gym, we also gain some added level of immune protection being exposed to so many...

Are you feeling really beat up? I wouldn't be pushing hard the week after a meet. As far as the RP block, that just depends on if you want to do another meet any time soon. I think if you are not...

You could do a less demanding 5/3/1 template. 5s Pro + FSL as supplemental would be good. If you haven’t you should check out his weekly YouTube Q/A, it’s really good.

I'd probably be in the 160s without any enhancement help to put it in perspective. Good coaching along the way might help get on stage a little bit heavier but its definitely a lot lower than...

Aztec warriors also had to fight with weapons primarily made of wood. Old is not better - better is better 😝

I might have to try this that psyllium husk is exactly that sludge. If you don't drink it fast enough it is super gross.

One thing I will say about doing bodybuilding show is what you feel the amount of fat you need to lose is usually a lot less than what you need. Person at work just did one and thought maybe 30ish...
