Smart move keeping the deload nice and easy. Glad it seems to have been relatively inconsequential. -
Glad to hear it felt good after the brush hog incident. Good deload session.

Hyde replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Closer the better! But I don’t have but 50% elbow flexion on the left side, so I am forced to take a very wide grip for my frame. You normally wouldn’t see that under 6ft tall & the heaviest...

That was the starting point, T=0, 19.6 so relatively low. Nope, back to maintenance or slightly above right now. Just eating looser since coming off several months of focused cutting. But I am...

Hyde replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.That’s as far as it goes, bro. Just hard stop. Lost all my deadlifter’s privileges. Now I just have a long vulnerable torso with only an average wingspan, worst of everything lol
-
That sounds like exactly what it did…just like with your deadlift the weight from the bush hog extended my arm beyond where it’s been in over 20 years. And it does feel like I can extend it a...

Hyde replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.Oh man, glad it’s calmed down - that’s a great sign. My 584 deadlift Sunday I’m pretty sure pulled my arm straighter than it’s been in a minute; started aching at the elbow afterwards. Then after...

No it definitely wasn’t any serious damage. It is actually feeling fine now, but thought it was worth getting checked out since there was a little bruising. I’m pretty sure it’s just scar tissue. 😎👍

The good thing is this is a deload week, so I’m just doing main lifts this week and not worrying about accessories or arm work. And I have an appointment with my ART guy on Friday. Ha, so I have a...

So finally had a little bit of time to write about the weekend and my latest little speed bump. Saturday I rented one of the Little Wonder Brush cutters (bush hog). It’s one you walk behind, but...

Yesterday I had contemplated splitting up my BBB work between sets of highbar, low bar, and front squats. specifically though 1 or 2 sets of front squats (while maintaining no more than 50 total...

Hyde replied to the thread Rockslide’s Settling In and Making Progress Log.Correct. Just like Dustin said, it’s wraps that you would not want to wear for prolonged periods without time out of them. Wraps pin everything in an unnatural way. Not that they would be unsafe...

I do believe that full depth squats are about the best thing you can do for overall health (among strength training), that ROM is important for so many parts of your body IMO. if knee sleeves help... -

I've been wearing sleeves for like 12 years and at 44 (next month) I'm the strongest I've ever been by a wide margin. if you are in pain that is preventing ROM and knee sleeves improve your ROM...

I agree, this stuff is great. On days when I'm extremely tired, it pulls me through without the negatives of just doing loads more caffeine.

You and me both! Ha! Amazing how seeing other members crush goals really has that positive effect IRL on all of us. Thankful for all of you fellas!

That would probably explain why my elbows were hurting. Will adjust next time for sure

Conrad on a huge meet!!! All the time and hard work Def paid off!!! Dropping down to 90kgs would be crazy with your size.

Hyde replied to the thread Charity powerlift competition training help.It’s so good man; I wrote that because it just blew me away. A fellow could take a 200mg tablet of Equate caffeine or a stiff cup of coffee, some AlphaGPC, and Neurogize XT and basically have the...

I think dips are also one of those movements where you can really make the mind > muscle connection and sorta determine what it is you are trying to hit with a concerted effort. I know when I'm...

Yeah, when it comes to dips I love them, I can get a full stretch on pecs including around the clavicle. Same for front delts and triceps. Plus for me it is a great power movement that I can dig...

I was thinking the same thing. I see a lot of guys who struggle with bench so I always consider myself really fortunate to somehow have healthy shoulders for hard bench work despite two rotator...

Hyde replied to the thread Charity powerlift competition training help.After a deload AFTER your heaviest week is pretty ideal for someone new to it. You go really hard, rest up the week of contest and then send it at the meet that weekend.

Hyde replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Monday I didn’t have much appetite & waited to eat for a while, but did decide to eat eventually - I ate the things I had really wanted to during the reload that I couldn’t (because of social/time...

That is the wife’s shotgun, I got her a Franchi I can’t remember the model affinity I think 20 gauge. It’s a really nice shotgun, basically a benalli but way cheaper price tag. I’m right in...

Hyde replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.My idea is not so dissimilar, just cutting out the maintenance phase. Focus on getting some weight off now so I have less to trim later and can eat more closer to comp. Unfortunately for my...

Think if you can spend a month or two at maintenance and just settle into the mid-220s, then you could hit another deficit until you're in that 205-210 range. Ideally, you'd get there before...
