Jimbabwe's latest activity

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Honestly, still a solid squat even with the back issues. 5 weeks feels like plenty of time to settle it out. Are you using BPC and/or TB500 or anything like that? Might help speed things along if... -

That’s not a bad train of logic, but because of their much higher estrogen women actually tend to do BETTER per mg than men, as far as adulteration. For reference, her HDL is typically 60 at...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Might give it a shot. Coach wants these done with a more posterior focus anyway, so I had my foot way up on the platform and kept vertical shins. The nerve damage is at my L5 and S1 nerve roots...
-
I can currently do lighter SS with RFE and lunges, but for the record when they hurt I could still get away with some front foot elevated split squats sometimes. So that could be something to try...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Yeah, had hoped doing them on the pendulum would help, but no dice. Knew I couldn't do a regular BSS or split squat from past experience, but figured I'd give that a try this week and see how it went.
-
If you’re getting nerve pain, it can’t work for hypertrophy because you’re going to do far under what the muscle has potential for, so makes sense to me.

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Lower today: Prime Lying Ham Curl: 110 x 9, 100 x 8, 100 x 8, 100 x 7 Pendulum Split Squat: 50 x 15, 70 x 12, 100 x 10 (gonna talk to my coach about subbing these out, they cause a lot of nerve...

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).New Upper day this morning. Felt pretty solid. Wanted to do machine flat press, but motherfuckers were over there baby guarding the goddamned thing this morning and I got tired of waiting. RG...

Very cool man! Will follow along. Also, didn't realize you were working with TNF. I definitely have seen a ton of his content online. -

No I gave the wrong impression; I am definitely confident I can continue to lose fat & weight on gear as I have been. The theoretical question I meant to pose was, should I continue my blast to...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Had a call with the head coach last night to do a physique review and talk about possibly competing. He's very happy with the progress I've made since March (and so am I, frankly). Wants to stay...

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Pull from this AM. Prime Pulldown: 265 x 8, 255 x 5 Atlantis Kelso Shrug: 270 x 7, 230 x 8 Atlantis Pulldown: 360 x 7, 320 x 6 Smith Shrug: 335 x 8, 315 x 8 Atlantis Preacher Curl: 65 x 8, 60 x...

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.I've really only ever used gear to maintain muscle when cutting. Would not want to seriously diet down without at least something anabolic in the mix. But as long as you avoid the real wet...
-
It’s 341 or 347 in comp. I would need to do around 600 each squat/pull and bench 350+. So maybe something like 584/358/617 would do it. Ideally, my deadlift will improve and I could get away...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.I accepted the formal offer and they are doing background check stuff now. Imagine that is more a formality than anything since there's no way I'd fail one given my history. We were hoping for...
-
When are you getting back down this way again? Also, any more word on that new job, it sounded pretty promising.
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Me and Hyde both gonna meet in the middle and walk around at 210, lean. Him from a cut, me from copious steroids now that I'm on TRT anyway.
-
Looking like a beast, as I knew you were. Man you at 210 walking around weight would be something to see. If you choose to do that you should get some pics done just in case you never decide to...
-
I definitely have the fat to give up without getting too lean, and it may even help set me up even better to gain later - main thing is not giving up a bunch of strength like you said. I have to...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.If you do it right, you shouldn't lose much strength, so could put up a gnarly total and look like Dan Green. Which feels like it'd be sick.
-
I honestly never even remotely considered this, but it’s not the craziest idea. I’ve only ever competed at 198 a single time, my second meet where I was taking no gear and got foodborn colitis...
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.**** it, take it down to 198 for the meet after this next one.
-
Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Diet all out of whack last week, and weight ballooned up to about 195 this morning. Just a combination of social events (couple of birthday dinners) and way too many client/work dinners through...

Jimbabwe replied to the thread Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever).Just closed on the sale for the '72 Skylark. Should be setting up all the shipping this week and then will hopefully have her up here some time next week. Hoping the weather holds up so I can...

I used to do a lot of that, especially when doing full body a few times a week. I liked it too.
-
Truly I’ve found it’s best to just bite the pillow and do a lower body right before I leave for trips. Because traveling always makes the next session harder for me due to mobility & fatigue...
