    Did go bench 275 for a smooth single this morning before starting my actual push session. Slept on my shoulder weird, so it didn't feel awesome during the session (nothing really from the bench, just shoulder AIDS in general this AM). No spotter so wouldn't have pushed it even if my shoulder...

    Think we're flying down on Thanksgiving Day and flying back to NYC on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

    I'm also 5'10" (some days they get me at 5'9" when I do my check-in, so I think I'm probably like 5'9" and some change and not truly 5'10"), so I really need to just be bigger all around.

    And even harder for me to hit those numbers without using some real androgens, which would make getting into that weight class even harder lol

    Yeah, I'd either have to lose a fair amount of muscle or be dick-skin lean and add a water cut to even hope to get into 165 again. And not sure if those numbers contemplate using knee wraps or just sleeves, but if I need wraps, I'd have to start trying to learn how to best use those since I...

    Nevermind, that sounds too hard [emoji23]

    Most likely outcome for me when I was competing was always going to be 500/300/500. Think my best ever showing at a meet was 450/275/475. Was and still is the only time in my life that I have ever outdeadlifted my squat and still not quite sure how I did it.

    It's always been my best lift by far. Honestly not convinced I could even deadlift that much today. Was always a good meet performance when I could match my squat with my deadlift, but that rarely happened. Live to fight another day and all that. This exchange made me laugh out loud. Maybe I...

    Hit a relatively heavy 405 single on back squat to start today's leg session. Glad I can still just jump under 4 wheels and hit it. Had more but didn't feel like testing the limit today. Don't think 455 would've gone, but probably 430 or so could've happened if I pushed it.

    My bad fellas. Have been dealing with a bit of a crisis of motivation. Still been hitting all of my training sessions but not doing great about posting anything (just the handwritten session log). Diet's been the harder part. Not even dieting, which I think is what makes it challenging. Hard...

    sauce at 20

    No amount of steroids will help you put on that weight if you aren't eating enough to put on that weight. Figure out food first and finish going through puberty, and then consider whether it's worth it for you to look at being enhanced.

    KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition.

    Amazon prices can be hard to beat. I always found MyProtein to be one of the cheapest places to buy a good quality protein powder. I don't use the powders much these days, so not sure that is still true, but worth checking. I have a discount code for Hosstile, and I like their stuff, but not...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Think if you can spend a month or two at maintenance and just settle into the mid-220s, then you could hit another deficit until you're in that 205-210 range. Ideally, you'd get there before hitting meet prep even and could do a full prep at or around maintenance calories and then only have to...
