I put a lot of stock in rep PRs. They give you something powerful to drive your training, something that gets you fired up to reach for more. If you are doing things you have never done, you are...
That one has my heart all twisted up in knots still. What a weird thing to be so hung up on, "reps" but I walked in feeling like garbage. Ended up going 5lbs heavier than programmed, and when I...
You’ve made some sick gains! And results take time, which is fine - if you don’t plan to be training for the next couple decades, you won’t be able to keep any gains anyway. So don’t get in a...
I'm 99.9% sure that 405 x 6 was a 2015 PR. So that's an 11 year old accomplishment I just beat.
It doesn't mean my 1rm is bigger or that I'm stronger than the guy next to me, but breaking my own...

Notes
I've had 405 x 6 in my head for 10+ years as a reps PR. Rep 1 was a f'ing 1RM kinda grind. Rep 2 was suddenly easy. All...
And ghosts! Apparently in @Dustin07 case. [emoji38]
On average my guess is around 600mg.
For me a typical day could be,
PreWO: 150-300mg caffeine
AM coffee (80-100mg)
PM soda (
Similar...
No, I just went back and my last bloods were on 4/16.
I think I started the microdose of my Trest Ace (1-2mg/day) added to my 140mg cruise test right after that, then hurt my back about 4 weeks...
Caffeine absolutely is a PED. It’s well documented - I believe force output was found to continue to increase through 600mg! And the LD50 is something like multiple grams, so even that big acute...
No, but 100mg or whatever doesn’t do what it used to right? Eventually, it only brings you up to “normal”, so you’re just operating at a deficit until it had enough caffeine to get back to normal...
Resets are internet non-sense. That’s not how your receptors work. You can take a very long period off, you add caffeine back, and it feels incredible for about 3 days. Then you begin to...
Something to consider too is other stimulants in preWOs. Not that you need to count their mg up, more just to consider everything you take that pushes on the adrenals ultimately has a cumulative...
600-900
That would look like 1-3 cups of coffee, an energy drink between 140-300, and preWO consisting of 250-350mg.
Only 250-450 on Saturdays because no training and it’s my highest cal, hi...
Well, there’s definitely no way you’ll get small shoulders doing seated press twice per week still lol. You may lose some standing strength, but that will come back when you return to the pattern...
If you’re shoulder pressing 3x/wk this way, there’s no way it can’t be effective! They don’t all need to be standing, just one should be enough to train the stability.
Those are good shoes; several people at the gym use them because they’re so affordable for how good they are.
And the name is misleading - they wanted people to know they won’t slip on sumo work...
Oh, I mean, like I hardly did any work - essentially like a warm up for actual benching. But I guess that's the point, isn't it? Keep the motion, cut back to a weight that realistically isn’t...
Yesterday was a cardio morning. Fitbit didn't record right, but believe it was close to 30 mins give or take. Also got in a late afternoon walk around our neighborhood, 15 mins and ~1600 steps...
All our boys are excellent cooks. Teaching your kids life skills is so important.
Yeah, those HS Row machines will put it on you, but man I love it. That’s why normally on back day I’ll only do 2...
your back days always look strong, I know that machine and I know how hard that 330lbs is in reality. it might be a machine but thats legit work.
Love having the boy cook too, thats an important...
