    Nice Session! Don't get to caught up in the weeds on the e1RM, you will drive yourself nuts. If you are hitting your planned numbers, things are likely going well, peak strength is going to...

    Good job getting your squats in even though you had to hit a few other exercises before you got a rack. Man that sucks when you have to wait for a squat rack or transition to something else until...

    I'm glad I threw myself into a program to let cruise control take over, I'm feeling a bit of the fire come back again. it always ebbs and flows, so this has really helped minimize downswings...

    OK looking at the numbers I did hit, looks like my fluxutation based on e1RM has bounced between 302-307.5 so that has stayed comparable. I'm pretty sure if I remember from wendlers book and...

    Yeah so what I often do is as weight goes up and reps drop, I try to keep the e1RM of the AMRAP effort comparable - but it doesn’t stay up usually unless something like drugs or surplus food is...

    Here's what I have so far logged in the app since I kicked it off May 12th for bench. Keep in mind, the app doesn't know that IRL, 10 x 235 would be likely a lifetime PR: May 13th 11 x 225 May...

    yup I get it. winter time here its dark by 4pm so going to bed between 8-8:30 is easy for me. in the spring, the sun is cresting about the time I wake up anyways so its the perfect rhythm. but...

    Yeah, at our age, real life prevents a 8pm bed time. In addition, going to bed at 8pm then waking up at 3am wouldn’t solve the rest of “wired and tired” feeling that goes with it. It’s not a...

    oh yeah thats a rough cycle. I could see waking up at say 3:30am and just making it a normal routine for whatever. coffee, bible reading etc. but being up in that weird time between midnight and...

    do you see any difference with the change in the seasons? DST kinda screws with me because my normal 8:30pm routine bed time has been pushed to 9:30 (hard to go to sleep when its still full...

    If you take 8 daily, does anything take a hit besides some elevation of hemoglobin/crit? Perhaps DHEA could possibly be an option if you just need a bit more water/padding but don’t want to go to...

    How do you feel? Still alternating 7 & 8mg each morning? Nothing looking worrisome that I can see. Platelets are on the low end, but pretty optimal otherwise.

    100 total reps of Miniband Pullaparts a couple times per week is great for keeping things healthier. You can do them anywhere, any time, broken up however in a workout too. I like 3-5 sets to...

    How can it determine what you need to PR? Whatever you have done for X reps, that’s what needs to get beaten in weight or same weight for another rep. It’s not about equivalence in effort week to...
