I'll have to try adding in dead bugs. My full warm up routine currently is,
Foam rolling
Stretching
Scap Push Ups
Bird Dogs
Cat Camels
Curl Ups (only recently added these back in).
But good...
As mentioned in Dustin's log, I am considering the 5-3-1 for some lifts that seem like they might do well with this. I feel like truly only pushing myself hard on that final workset might actually...
I think thats been my subconsious approach as well. My main goal so far has been a semi-linear progression to at least try to "beat" the cycle, but once I have done so and established progress...
Yep, that’s exactly what I do. I plan ahead and see what my weights are ahead time, and then I think of how many I can get. But I’ll usually try to hit a rep count with 2-3 RIR just to spare my...
I found my old Wendler PDF for 531. its like 97 pages if anyone wants to see it, I'm just not sure how to share it. But I wanted to brush up on some of his philosophy, especially the AMRAP set to...
thats too funny, I was too. Technically, by the time I was doing that it was SBS (seattle bike supply) who owned redline. I had a Proline 540, which cracked, so they gave me a free John Purse Pro...

Just did a quickie today...
I preferred canned corn instead of peas like my grandparents taught my dad, and I was the family cook once I was 10 years old, so I referred to it as “Corn Shingle” since I had little sisters...
Oh yeah Man, I would love that. I will end up showing you all what I look like here shortly when I decide to put the hammer down there are going to be some embarrassing Before Pics, and hopefully...
Been there every single time I dieted except the last one. This year I think I went from peak 205 to a dehydrated low of 183 (so lets say 188/189) and that 15+ lbs lost is the first time I felt...
You've got this. Man the more I look at the training the more I wonder if I could manage this since the work sets would not get me anywhere near failure until the AMRAP set, at least in the...
Living the good life 😂
Funny thing is, this is pretty repeatable and manageable for maintenance in reality. for years thats really what I did. very clean Sunday night through Friday, allowing...
haha yeah pretty much. My last batch of chickens I plucked rather than skinned and I think these two we ran on the komodo joe grill beer can style are by far the best tasting yet. its basically my...
You know what, that’s gonna be my new diet. Rotisserie chicken and a couple protein shakes every day, but on the weekends I add a bunch of pastries on top 😂
haha yeah its been a lot of the little stuff slipping in. Had my first golf game of the year with the guys Friday, I had a beer. just one, but a big IPA so there's a bunch of bloat and wasted...

Today is ironically I think my past day of this cycle before programmed deload, a word I haven't had to use in a while yet I'm sorta looking forward to it! Lol
Congrats on the PR…. I’m like you on the early stages of 5/3/1 feeling light, but then I remind myself it’s designed to progress not only to build muscle strength, but joints and connective tissue...
I do wish that was the case, but I think it is more like I need to pair down the "life" portion of life balance when it comes to nutrition specifically. Perhaps we are in a very similar place...
I feel like you and I are in a similar spot with balance/life/gym. As long as my "top end" on the scale continues to trend downwards, I figure keep things in control with the right habits/balance...
I forgot about them totally. I remember us discussing measurements now, but I don't remember what I was going to measure. I slept too many times since then. ;)
I had 2 great sessions this...
I think most windshields are UV resistant, not sure you are getting the benefits through a windshield. Well scratch that I just checked and while 98-99% UV resistant they allow red light through...
