MrKleen73 replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.My condolences, it is a hard situation, but you did the right thing in going and honoring their life. -
Thanks fellas. There was a lot of time between seeing a lot of that side of my extended family - and I'm sure you guys know how family dynamics can get. But I was really glad I went to be able...

My condolences for your family member. It’s never easy, and always sobering. I wasn’t sure if you were doing the core stuff on the mornings you do cardio or on weekends etc when you don’t lift...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Yeah, I agree, I wish I had been a little more concerned with maintaining movement / athleticism during the 2 years I was training for my contest. I think I did myself a real disservice by trying...
-
Gotcha. I will retest within more water. Thanks. Nice measurements. Got me beat.
-
Just measured: I’m 41” at the navel around widest part of love handles/obliques, and 48” relaxed around chest/lats. I’m 5’10” and hit a new recent low of 232.4lbs today before my first meal...

That’s excellent. Something Jim pushes his student athletes on especially, and espouses in general, is the need to be able to move your bodyweight well as a prerequisite for more loading. When I... -
MrKleen73 replied to the thread Building Back Up.Yes, that is what he means. Some guys who are red will get kind of purple during or after a hard set. Sounds to me like you are more comfortable at higher levels, but the HCT frightens you out of...
-
Thanks. When you say you’re not red, do you literally mean you’re skin isn’t red from the excess hemoglobin?
-
These are probably my numbers right now, what I live it. I am not red. There are many guys who are red who don’t check their numbers; those guys are the ones who are at real risk. They are like 60...

Deload squats, back extensions, shrugs, arms today. Nothing worth logging. Got some more lab work back again. RBC 6.05 (4.14-5.8) HGB 18.2 (13.0-17.7) HCT 54.6 (37.5-51) So frustrating...

Weight: 210.2 Kcal have been above little above maintenance the past couple days but tightening it back up now. All clean food, just too much. I love the performance and gains I’ve been...
-
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...

Standing OHP 4 x 5/5/5/4 x 150 T-Bar Row 4 x 5/5/5/6 x 120 CG Bench 4 x 5/5/4/4 x 185 Pull-ups 5/4/4 DB Lateral Raise 3 sets Feeling a little beat up and achy all over despite not being in too...

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...

oh man some bison burgers sound good right now
