The old school guys from the 80's and 90's love to say they were better, they worked harder, they used less (even though the '90s was when people started taking things to the extreme more often)...
Thanks man. It is pretty gratifying when I zoom out. It's definitely harder when I look at week by week fluctuations. But this is as good as I've looked in a long time. I'm still carrying too much...
For longterm weight gain, the idea is to treat it like training volume: progressive, but in a manner you personally can sustain. You want to avoid big yo-yos.
Just like a training blitz that you...
I completely agree, do not do things that hurt. The goal is to do the biggest ROM you can without pain, but that’s critical.
And lifting heavy in a big ROM is definitely more risky; even if you...
Thanks brother, my friends used to always joke that I have a tennis ball stuck inside of there😂 or that they could pop my bicep with a pin. LOL
I have very short biceps
Day 123:
I had another pretty good lift today. I was pretty fatigued though for some reason. Gonna try to lock in with the sleep quality maximizing. I got an air purifier and nasal strips just to...
Great work! Loved to read the report, sounds like this training block has paid off well.
The guy who came up with the Devotions is a 900lb conventional puller, so I am not too surprised to hear...

Meet Day
Extremely happy how the meet played out and feel pretty good physically afterwards. Took squats light like planned and lifts were 324.5/ 352/ 379.5. I could...
I got through 6, plus a deadlift only at a recordbreaker event.
Strained my bicep at one of the 6 and tore it off at another. That’s a 1/3 bicep damage rate 😂
I retired after 3 shows lol. Tried to train up for a 4th but tweaked my back a few weeks out and pulled out of the show.
Granted, I went into the sport with an injury from the Army and strongman...
I believe that 100%.
its kinda funny, yesterday I was taking inventory on the 1/2 dozen tweaks, strains, and pains i've had since I turned 43 last october and pronounced age to be a myth. I...
Definitely gonna have to work this weekend, which is unfortunate. Hopefully nothing too crazy, but still have some stuff on my plate that I just don’t think I’m going to have the energy to do today.
Yeah, I really don’t see how anyone could believe creating AGI will not be ultimately catastrophic even just inside their natural remaining lifespan. Even if your entire motivation is profit &...
I remember back in the day when you were doing it and I got interested and you were kind enough to warn me that with the issues I had recently had with my biceps you recommended against me getting...
One thing that has made this so bad is that the credit card and other payment processors charge 3-5 cents for every dollar that goes across their network and they are actually the ones who keep...
They do, but what people fail to realize is that the injury rate in strongman is also basically 100% given enough time. Anecdotally, I have never met someone who has done strongman training for...
This article is one thing I keep trying to warn people about AI. People getting AI Psychosis by trusting AI and thinking it has their best interests as a priority. It is coming out people are...
I guess I am just a little annoyed so much of this is trying to be re-framed as being an unwillingness to adopt AI (the irony is honestly a little funny), although it just feels like a deflection...
Glad you were able to get a little work in and get some blood flowing. And right now that’s the best approach you can take. Just doing lighter work that you know shouldn’t irritate the injured...
Neck is feeling pretty good today, thoracic is a tiny bit tender, I did some very light testing yesterday. I used my TRX and did 4 sets of recline rows, leaning pushups, 5lb Goblet squats, and...
