amen to that. I don't think people understand how much work your abs can put in when pressing hard with all their might against the belt in a heavy pull or squat. I can walk away from heavy deads...
Technique matters! I have done meets where I did nothing heavy until the peak, nothing. If you can execute the proper way and have experience you don’t need to train that heavy until the very end...
If your bench is fairly slow, some speed work can for a month on secondary day can help you regain the speed necessary to make it through the transition.
Otherwise something like Spoto’s or Pin...
That’s something the owner of the barbell club told me that made a ton of sense. And he has coached a TON of college students, so not injury prone and generally newer to powerlifting. Skill...
Last night I was doing some AI deep dive stuff and my autocorrect changed a few words, the AI treated the wrong words as if they were part of the topic and ran with it, when I corrected the AI and...
It depends. I use Mast in a lot of my blasts because it does act like a SERM, but it’s going to depend on the total estrogen load. Like 300mg of deca with very low testosterone isn’t going to be...
That is a nice way to lay it all out that makes the simplicity of it so attractive too. Also much better information than just a daily average. Thanks for expanding, I didn't want to ask you to...
Just depends if you feel your bench currently needs more chest or triceps to make it through where you would otherwise fail on a max. Will you fail lower down, or more midway/top of the lift if...
Out of prep, I tend to put them on before I even squat the bar, or within a plate or two certainly even in summer.
If it’s warm out in prep, I will try to go without them so I don’t have to...
you didnt' ask me, Seg but i'll pipe in anyways. I put my sleeves on before I put my pants on in the locker room. they stay on until my leg pump forces me to strip them down to the ankles or get...
9/2
Man my legs are cooked between squats 2 days ago and the running yesterday. The running took more out than the squats as all the little muscles are sore and hurting. Fascia throughout my low...
Definitely no negative, and maybe positive.
I usually have increased libido after training, which could be from the increased dopamine with things like l-tyrosine etc I use pre/intra.
But...
Competed under 220 for first time in 3.5 years. Got my first 600lb raw squat and pull under 220. Successfully hit 600/352/606 on SBD for a 1,559lb total & 438 DOTS score - my best total ever by...
Boy that was a TLDR.
I cycle the meat fats and eat 225-275g protein Mon-Friday.
Weekends I make sure to get 180g protein in and eat what I want, with a prominent focus on carbs.
Glad to have you. The #1 thing that must be present to drive size is eating enough calories. This can be a chore especially at your age, but if you don’t eat enough the body can’t make something...
Well what I described is what I’d do at a commercial gym, not what you saw at the meet - you cannot train for real with necessary poundages for you without being able to set up properly & tight...
Specifically with my diet as it’s been, I don’t think a caloric daily average is useful - the significant calorie cycling is a huge component, and I very much believe the Saturday shitloading...
Honestly hearing some of the stuff regarding using super low doses to enhance TRT has me considering giving that microdosing a shot. I doubt I would ever risk it with a heavier dose, but I could...
