No, right now 2.5 lbs is the lowest we have, but he is getting us a large set of Rogue calibrated plates in December and that will have microplates with it, so that might be perfect. That’s...
I mean, if 4am is the only time you have to train then it’s hardcore. But if you could have gotten more recovery first then yeah, you should have stayed in bed lol.
Blood work and my physical got rescheduled I can't do either until after November 1st but I'm going to have both of them done the first week of November
Hit my numbers yesterday, but , went over my calories by 150.
Woke up 189.7
Did 3.1 mile jog fasted in 36min. Very easy pace, I could have had a full conversation no heavy breathing at all. But...
185 this morning, got the first workout in obviously and I felt pretty drained so I decided to start a little half ass carb load.
I forgot to track that I added a quarter teaspoon of a mixture of...
I see people all the time over the years posting pictures or videos in a dark gym 4:00 a.m. and they're the first person there, like this is hardcore. This is how you become the man, motivation to...
A lot of options on new racks in the $200-$400 range. I mean they aren’t the same quality as a Rogue Monster , Sorinex, fringe etc but unless you plan on doing rack pulls with 500+ loaded on the...
Congratulations on a great first meet! I’m glad to hear it was such a positive experience; I expected it would be. I also think you made good decisions for openers and throughout. You have the...
All 3 look good, definitely had more in you on squat and deadlift for sure, bench maybe 205-210. Solid work brother! Awesome to see this come together!
Yeah, I mean historically I also know I've been capable of much more, including close to 300# DL? I can't recall specifics, but it's in this log. But that was a different time. Similarly, squat...
Thank you, I really did.
You know, that's exactly the thing my wife (who has no interest in working out or fitness stuff like this in general) commented on afterwards!
She thought it was...
That's awesome man, loved reading about your day! Without watching you lift, but reading your log over the years, I would have agreed with the judges just off instinct that you likely already have...
Congrats on the meet. Sounds like you had a really great times/ experience and family was there to cheer you on. One thing I have always loved about powerlifting meets is everyone cheers for...
OK fellas, my first meet is officially in the books! It was Saturday AM for those asking.
Bit of a walk through before the good stuff (#s):
Weigh ins were called for 8:30, so I was up at 7 and...
Also, on the deloads - if you feel refreshed and solid going into the next wave, that’s basically what matters. So if you feel stronger doing things a certain way AND seeing good...
Do you have access to microplates? Going up just 1-2.2lbs for a while could let you keep it heavier longer before waving the weight down some.
Which, you might even get stronger faster anyway...

Yeah, the AC joint thing was a little scary to me and took a lot of confidence in the structure of my joint. Certainly it is partially subluxated, but no visible tears. Agreed on the nutritional...
Another succesful session in the books. I am really happy that I got that MRI, although it did not really give me any great news or increase the likelihood of surgical repair being approved...
Life definitely can impact training, but what’s important is that you still do it to the best of your ability! Great job with that.
Maybe start setting aside a little scratch to buy a bar & rack...
Quick update, last few days workouts. Still feeling it from the camp work so feel like workout suffered some this week, but pushed hard as I could comfortably.
Scale is up as of yesterday morning...
