I hadn't even thought about that but yeah you could totally be right. I have no ACL in my left knee, so I had pondered the idea that I damaged or tore the ACL in my right knee this time since the...
Oh, I see how it is... I complain about my knee, and you say yeah I had that. A pretty lady says it and you send them a video to diagnose it with exercises.
I guess I should just go kick...
Man that was a great session there….you’re cooking with fire now. Yeah, the main benefit of that contest was you set a goal and started that train to rolling down the track again….now you’ve...
Thanks man, all I needed was to be well enough to create consistency, and some external motivation to ge the ball rolling. No this snowball is rolling down the hill momentum growing along the way...
Try just the empty bar as a warmup for a couple sessions before your normal Floorpress work. Try to introduce the ROM with no appreciable load first, like basic rehab. Establish ROM before loading.
2300 😂
you have the experience and knowledge that a lot of people lack when doing this to recognize the difference, but even depleted lows are fun mile markers cause you know you'll probably...
I am considering trying full ROM Swiss Bar Press soon just to see if I have unlocked that capability. I am just making good progress on the floor press right now and am a bit worried I might mess...
Yeah, that is one of the things I am a little confused about and need to reach out to someone in there to see. It says we have to buy from them, or one of there trusted retailers, of course I have...
Unsure when your contest ends, but I keep seeing the early BF sign up ads from them. So might be able to sneak in with a 50% off deal on whatever product you need to satisfy entry reqs.
You ever break 100? :)
Had a heck of a lower body session yesterday, expecting some soreness to start creeping in soon.

i threw my smart watch back on the charger, re-downloaded the app, and decided I'd give it a try again for fun to track steps out of curiosity, cause I know they're low. so far I'm at 96.
Thanks Seg…yeah there is a little bit of a 5/3/1 movement going on, but you can’t beat an effective plan that’s simple and works.
Yeah man, we’ve got that train rolling in high gear now, and...
That’s awesome, thanks Hyde. That really gets me fired up knowing that.😎👍
Thanks Kleen…yeah the way you are progressing, I absolutely believe you could start 5/3/1 soon. The great thing about it...
Nice work on the bench PR GP!
Always OK to start lower as they say on these programs. Better for not burning out.
The more the merrier on 5/3/1 programming!
Congrats on the new PR! You are killing it! I think I am getting closer, and closer to where I can start some sort of real strength training focus. So here in a couple months I might end up on the...
245x8 = ~303lb 1RM
x9 is 313, and x10 is 325lbs.
So you really are getting right where you need to be to make that happen - and no reason to think it won’t when you are ready! Whether it’s end...
Excellent session! Look at that V-Taper! I am sure you are not used to seeing that. I bet you are looking pretty damn lean right about now too. Way to keep grinding and going after your goal...

Yes Dustin and I went through our knee injuries about the same time. Mine was eventually diagnosed as a torn meniscus after all the imaging was done, and I really believe Dustin’s was a torn...
Yikes! That’s definitely sounds more intense than mine! Haha I’m so glad it’s better now! I definitely considered it might be tight in surrounding areas! I’ve been foam rolling, using a massage...
is it behind the knee, in the knee or in front? do you wear sleeves ever? my knees feel the healthiest they've ever felt at the moment, but I really cannot lift without sleeves unless its 90...

I just calculated everything 221+ and it’s about 19,000lbs.
The first time I pushed my bench to 390lbs, I used a similar method, inspired from JM Blakley. In a nutshell, pound sand on heavy bench...
