Man that’s quite a novel I bet at this point! If you take one thing from it, I hope you see that the journey of strength is not always easy or linear. I named this log after the Odyssey for a...
Wanted to pay back the respect to your log that you have shown me, and man what a journey! I’ve read thru a majority of it over last few weeks an I still got some to go.
Keep on killing it!
Another great thing about this meet is that you basically have great values for training maxes if you use percentage ranges at all guide your next block of training. You can just program off...

Congrats man. We all knew it (and more) was in there looking at the logs.
Hope you keep hitting the powerlifting work hard even if you add your BB stuff back in .
Yeah, a lot of this I think was based on what I had in my head coming in. Basically for bench I was thinking top set of between 195-205 if things went well, but I ended up splitting the...

Deload over , LFG. Should be blast day 1 but I’m still waiting on labwork results. Don’t even see them pending so I need to make sure they got sent before I start so I don’t need to do TRT...
Nice work man. Keep pushing those boundaries as you can! Inch by inch, one rep here, 5lbs there, maybe an extra set at times - that’s how it’s done. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but every brick...
Morning update!
Today’s my one off day so I capitalized big time on it. Worked days yesterday and prioritized after getting home relaxing a preparing for spending today with my son (4 months...
A lot of Sundays nobody comes to the gym when I do (usually arrive 8-9am). I will arrive alone & often stay alone, which I don’t prefer - but if I only trained when other people could come, I’d...
no legs or eggs again this morning, just me, the cold empty gym and this photo that looks like it was taken with a Polaroid instant camera, and somebody didn't wave it around in the air enough to...
Not if you wanna be a top G! Some ppl go to the gym at 8am and do warm ups to get there body ready to handle the workout.
But I go to the gym at 4am so I can get the gym warmed up to handle me...
No, not unless you have been feeling achey basically for eons (since you have been doing 6-8mg daily for as long as I can recall). But definitely not your recent/transient aches.
Bloods look good...
I just did the math: those squats were 15,000lbs of volume at/over 319lbs bar weight. And getting 12 on those hacks was BRUTAL too; if I lose any muscle leaning out it won’t be for lack of...
A couple of great workouts there…. I agree with Kleen on your bench day. Those sets of 25 reps wide bench after that 309 bench definitely look nasty…..volume.💪
And that 319x8x5 after those heavy...
Had to move up a day as Wednesday will be traveling for the concert with the wife.

308/495 is awesome!!! 🤘 🤘 It certainly sounds like you were this close to a legit 495 rep, especially if you locked it out. makes me wonder if you had more like 505+ if you weren't feeling that...
Thanks for the advice. Going to take last prep and use the week I pulled 475 as the meet day and work back from there. Seems if I do that than should be in a better spot
