Had a lot of trouble with the shoulder yesterday, couldn't get much training done other then rehab stuff, 30min cardio and I did box jumps and walking lunges. The knee is doing so much better. I...
You can’t wear elbow sleeves in a competition, so make sure you either get used to training without them OR are just mentally prepared to take your 3 attempts at the meet naked elbows. I mean...
I think if you train like this, you will be reasonably ready to wait for the pause at the meet. However, there is a double bounce every single rep at the chest, so you won’t get the press command...

This is what I was driving at, perfectly laid out. I don’t think I really dialed in until this last year or so. Truthfully still have a **** ton to learn ion all aspects of lifting.
But...
LOL Rogue calls it a sports handle, I've found like 6 names for it so far, but I like using it for tricep pushdowns/extensions occasionally, feels like an interesting grip challenger since I have...

Weight: 205.2
Been floating around this weight since I hit that last new low 204.4. Still in a deficit though. Driving on.
Not logging yesterday’s limb workout. Upper torso workout tomorrow...
So either more paused work if you just need to generate more chest power from a dead stop, or Spotos if you need to also reinforce lat control & positioning with the paused start as well. OR...
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...
