Yeah the shorty deload can be a good play here. You have 19 day til no training, so just taking a few easy days to circle the wagons up can be a good play before the last push. Then you have 15... -
I'm with Hyde... if it was like a week or 10 days a way I'd be inclined to just wreck the place up and redline the tach, as I tend to do anyways, but 20 more days when you're already showing...
-
Probably don’t do the deload then overreach idea btw 😝
-
If you think you can probably remain productive until then & are not nursing any niggles, I’d keep pushing. If something is hurting or you have seen performance drop/decline for at least 2 weeks...

Typically drawn at bottom/trough levels, right before you would normally administer a shot. Then you see the lowest low.

Squat 1RM 395! Let’s go! Had my daughter take a video of 375 and 395. 375 was clearly exactly parallel, but 395 was iffy. I’ve asked a couple friends who workout (not actual powerlifters but...

Congratulations on a big day! Something we talk about at the barbell club (where everyone competes in powerlifting) is at least being a good “gym lift”. Beyond the strict rules of competition...

Congrats man that is awesome 😎

Great PR bro, good job!

So that first part you mentioned about studies is misleading. If you dose daily and draw blood to check total t at trough (right before the next shot), you won’t see as low of a trough because...

Weight: 208.4 Haven’t fully committed, but highly considering a 1RM of squat today since it’s been 2 years at a much lower weight.

Have you ever even tried a once per week dosing?? It’s awful in my opinion. I get all this extra energy, horniness, and aggression for a few days, then feel a different person the back half of the...

TRT is what puts you into physiological testosterone ranges, and ideally also has you feeling relatively good/vital. TRT+ would be doses putting in excess of top of range for total t, and/or...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Agreed, I am starting to get "Hungry" so to speak. Wanting a little more. I had actually basically decided last night that I needed to focus more on calisthenics where possible. Calisthenics...

Yeah you need a base of healthy movement and tissue first before worrying about barbell progressions. The other stuff Jim recommends for accessories should be the focus for now - the way he trains... -

That’s great the neck is feeling good. Definitely understand not doing 5/3/1 yet. As long as you are steadily making progress then that train will keep moving down the track. When you are ready...

IDK what everyone else is using but I went back to the app. it works well for me, and usually while I'm on the bike warming up I start entering the apps programmed work into my talkatap app to log...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..I had a nice little session yesterday, I focused on bodyweight stuff, glutes, core, and of course took my walk. Neck is feeling good, and I am happy about that. I spent some time looking into...

I ran out monday morning to water the tomacco pots in my boxer briefs (benefit of living in the woods) and caught myself on the camera bent over with a bit more belly than I'd like lol. Funny how...

Hey I resemble that remark!

MrKleen73 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Ha, no Sir, not even jokingly close. More like chubby powerlifter. I have hanging fat, we are not talking about someone with major dysmorphia looking pretty good and not knowing it. We are talking...

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...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log.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...

And I always love reading Wendler’s stuff, so keep it coming.👍

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...
