I wanted to address @Dustin07 and everyone all in one place here: The last rep generally WILL slow down, often to a grind if you go to 0RIR - BUT, what I think I meant, is that you should always... -
For me if warmed up properly the first rep of a work set is no problem at all, if I don't warm up then occasionally it would be an issue. I am also just naturally very explosive and fast. So it...

Really curious on @Hyde perspective on this question. My experience at least lately has been that my AMRAP really only ever adds 1-2, maybe 3 reps at most over what's prescribed. Now, I do...

I mean yeah realistically, but I'm still going to say that I am exactly what I want to be when asked lol

I love the "my goal was never to be skinny, it was to be extremely inconvenient to F with" reels and memes that have been popping up lately. That guy ripping 560 off the ground Tuesday and I...

Yes, as long as I can avoid re-injuring anything I think going into 2027 is going to be pretty kick ass. I intend to be much leaner by my 54th birthday Feb 1st, and hopefully in that time will...

As they should, to a degree anyway! Some's personality take away all that pretty. :)

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.I actually like these descriptions from AI….especially the controlled car crashes.😂 “Think of 5/3/1 as a highly calculated marathon and Dorian's training as a series of controlled car crashes...
-
Totally. my own mindset has changed a lot too. I mostly am not building up to a meet date or anything so I consider week 3 to be a peak week every month, even if I don't reach much with Jokers. I...
-
What I do find interesting is the same thing that beat the crap out of us previously seems to be great for coming back into strength training so long as you start your TM a bit lower and seems to...
-
but so much fun 😂 😂 In my own personal experience, I'm not sure even the blood and guts style would be a smart move for me anymore. I've run 531 I think 4 times now. the first 3 times I was...
-
Yeah, for sure all of the additional volume and everything is nothing like it at all. I was just referring to the 5/3/1 portion itself, and how the top set is the main stimulus going directly...
-
I’d say ramping to a top set is about the only thing they have in common, truthfully. The beauty and huge problem with 5/3/1 is that it only covers the primary barbell movement of the day -...
-
Yeah, of course the intensity can not be the same for a strength training program. The neurological drive required for continued strength training could not be maintained with the true blood and...
-
I bounced your comparrison off AI and got this. the series of controlled car crashed totally cracked me up lol
-
yeah they are super similar I think. the biggest difference (other than 531 being barbell focused and yates being more everything/db focused) is probably that with 531 we work to 1-2 RIR with TM's...
-
So, I have a question, does anyone else realize how close the base of 5/3/1 is to Dorians training? Think about it you effectively do warm up/potentiating sets to your true working set, and then...

Keep the PRs coming!!!

I'm super proud of him. his drive is always wishy washy as a 17yr old so I reminded him he has only 29 weeks of training left to attempt a high school record before he graduates lol.

Big squat for your son!!! No questions on depth

I charged my smart watch yesterday as an experiement and a reality check since we moved our office in may and all my walking "mile markers" are gone. up at 4:40 > work > family dinner > home >...

(y) I'm going to work on a new plan for intra- things are getting to intense to let something as simple as poor nutrition intra-workout to slow down the train. yes sir. I'll know next week...
-
Well I think you will get the answer before to long. I would say with your conditioning background that moving into sets like 5x5x255 are going to drive strength and 1rep numbers up more so then...

gphagan1 replied to the thread Kat and Puccah's Strong is the new sexy log.Actually that’s a great explanation, and rings true. Because you will absolutely get stiff if you don’t keep things moving. That’s why I believe a lot of the older people that give in to old age...
