Mash/dice/chop your animal protein to consume slightly larger portions easier. Tilapia, chicken breast, ground beef or turkey and tuna all can be minced up and stirred into carbs or veggies to...

That is definitely a good bench session! Definitely gaining momentum and your strength I would guess in the following blocks will really benefit.

Week 2 weigh ins vs last week. Weight: 158.7# (-0.7#) BF: 23.3% (+0.1%) Well, guess I still need to up the cals since weight went in the wrong direction this past week. However, on the...

gphagan1 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Yeah, hate to hear you may have axle issues again, but glad you got a good friend that’s your mechanic to take care of it. Sounds like you gave yourself a good treat with that prime rib. And...

I don't understand this. I have probably missed a meal only the number of times I can count on one hand. It's like clockwork, it's 12-12:30 it's lunch time, if 3-4 PM, afternoon snack. But... -
gphagan1 replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Great session….you’re progressing well, and looks like your strength is steadily going up. Yeah Spotos if you’ve never done them before or if it’s been awhile just take a little practice to get...

Well, legs - particularly my hammies - are still pretty sore even waking up this AM (4 days later!). So kept on with my bench, squat, deads sequence this week. Bench - 3/5/1 FSL Week 2 Warm up...

Don’t sweat the accessories - that deadlift workout will do more for you than a LOT of things. Volume deadlift work builds so much of the body thicker and stronger so efficiently. High cost, but...

This, if just resetting your hips and locking the back down again is what you and he mean, If you mean stand back up and then bend back down and re-grip, yeah that's more like rest pauses or...

I always reset on deads each rep unless going for a super high reps. That way you get a ton of practice in.

Nice work, and I was impressed with the 175x5 too. Think about how awesome it is that you broke a PR in training unintentionally, and thought it might have been too light.

OHPs are really solid.

My gym has the 100lb plates, not the same but same premise and a lot of the time the 100s just seem to be left on the leg press too. I never complain, but I take them off when done just in case a...

Exactly! I pictured a bunch of **** talking and things like that, but that’s not what I’ve experienced at all. Just a bunch of support.

Exactly, people don’t want to win because you got hurt or made a mistake - they want to beat you at your best! And we’re all there to lift heavy - everyone there knows about getting up early, or...

1000% correct! I was so shocked when I did my first PL meet at how supportive everyone is, even the ones you’re competing against. Just a great community all around. The only regret I have is not...

Man the community is so welcoming. Just search for a powerlifting gym on your next travel, or plan a weekend day for a trip to a PL gym, introduce yourself to someone who looks like they know what...

Definitely can't wait to get more practice in and work on your pointers

This is why one day I'd love to get a live session in with some PL gym bros to really diagnose my technique. As just demonstrated, that alone can add pounds to the bar!
-
Now that’s a great session and awesome for the guy pulling a PR with some tech advice 🤘🏻

gphagan1 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Oh yeah definitely.

I know you’re excited about the micros, but wait until you get the pair of 50’s - you might as well keep by the Legpress; you’ll love them for it. They’re a little heavy to hoist up, but it sure...
