If I can just keep hitting my bare minimum numbers here, a joker on cycle 7 would be a lifetime PR. if I don't take that joker, then just hitting RX on cycle 8 (310 x 1) would be a PR. that really...
yes that is for sure. I realized last cycle that the app had me moving 10lbs per cycle on bench (Hyde caught that) vs 5 on ohp, and 10 on squats/pulls. I fixed that and it made an interesting...
Well keep in mind accumulating fatigue, just because this week goes well, doesn't mean the wheels won't fall off next week. If 205-210 feels reasonable with the current volume, then that is...
If you questioned possibly going lower on the spotos you might as well do it and see how that goes. Sounds like they were a little more work than you originally expected.
You're not wrong, the pause bench was substantially harder. I was able to complete all reps but I truly felt like I worked yesterday so I'm grateful for that and excited to see how it effects me...
Lol I was 273 morning of 405 bench, and I’ll be 213 after weighins, so more like 60lbs. But that’s 3 weightclasses!
Yeah, and 5lbs a year when you are 50 will be 50 more lbs! Benching 350-365...
you're killing it man! gonna be awesome to see what you do with a 198 weigh in. you'll be down damn near 100lbs from peak on your bench run 😂 😂 😂
at this rate you will see sub 200 sooner than...
Been doing Benefiber at the full 4tsp twice per day last couple weeks per bottle for appetite control (and primarily lipids and regularity on keto). Definitely feels like hunger has dropped some...
I know you were talking about plaque regression possibly, but just from a phlebotic standpoint, you would probably be better off waiting a month into the blast to start the high dosed Nattokinase...
Yeah I know it won’t blunt the hct, mainly just to provide insurance against clotting if my hct gets high. The high dose has some nice data on preventing plaque formation and even some data on...
For sure this is a lifestyle thing. When I don't have it in my life my life is worse in almost every way. When I am in the gym and pushing towards something, anything really I am a much happier...
Bench
10 x 95
5 x 135, 160
3 x 190
5 x 210, 240
5 x 270
BBS
5 x 5 x 225 - spotto
5 x 5 x 225 - paused
CGBP
10 x 185, 135
Notes
Spottos seemed sufficiently hard. Probably could take these even...
FYI, the Nattokinase probably won’t lower HCT (in case you were under the impression it would), but it will be great insurance against clotting. Also, 52 isn’t really a big risk on its own. I am...
10/26- part 2
Snuck home at lunch. Still fasted so jumped on the scale .
Weight 193.5- body fat % still around 17%. Was pretty low on cals/carbs yesterday and probably a little dry yesterday and...
Alright labs are back
Pretty happy with these
H/H - 16.9/52.1 - need to watch this. Probably need to hydrate better. Started natto- 10,000 FU daily last week. Would prefer to not have to give...
Keeping things simple for Sundays. 7 weeks out so figured would start at 7 reps and drop 1 rep a week. Sundays are more volume day compared to Wednesday, which is normally heavier.
Bench 4 x 6 x 226.5
Cable Row 3 sets
Seated BBOHP 3 x 6 x 145
NG Pullups 5/5/5
Seated DB Lateral Raise 3 sets
Incline EZ OH Extension 3 sets
DB Shrugs 3 sets
The thing that both percentages and RPE are trying to do is get weights in your hands that will lead to sufficient stimulus and desired training effect. That’s it.
This is why Jim has talked...
I couldn't mutliquote everything over the weekend on the app so had a hard time getting actual responses in, but when I was religiously hitting that low weight 60% volume I had a hard time making...
Heavier you are at a given level of muscle, the thicker your neck. Thicker your neck, worse your sleep apnea becomes. The worse you oxygenate in your sleep, the more the body thickens blood to try...
There’s a reason they say being leaner gives you less sides and more results from steroids/testosterone. I have generally seen less need for AI and less acne the lower bodyfat I’ve gotten. Plus...
Hey everyone,
Just joined up the forum, I figured I need to learn properly, after spending 53 years being overweight, shaped much like a potato and getting out of breath and sweaty thinking about...
