Agree with Dustin, unless hypertrophy is the primary goal of a movement you generally want to do as much as you can reasonably tolerate for the day on strength work. Better to keep the weight up... -
there is some legit merit to that portion of Wendlers book that Hyde reminded us of with his "I'm not doing jack **** today" program. go in, touch heavy, go home. great stimulus, fantastic...

Not nearly as sore as I thought I’d be. Next time will be 5 sets of 3, maybe a bit more weight.

Good call. Hypertrophy is not my goal with squats or or deads, so maybe I’ll just focus on what I can low. I think I recover better from low rep higher intensity better also.
-
yeah dude those are some heavy pauses. IMO this is a trap! lol. I did this so many years running my CNS into the ground. Can't hit 315 for a set today? I"ll just do 225 until I destroy myself...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..I would be willing to bet your chest is bigger now, just maybe looks more proportionately sized next to everything else that is now bigger. Now lats maybe, maybe not, all those kipping pull ups...

Balancing all the training with family time sounds challenging. Since managing energy levels is key, you might find the recovery score app helpful. It tracks data from your wearable devices to...

And also how far the healing peptides have come in the last 20 years like BPC 157, TB 500, and the two mentioned here recently GLOW and KLOW, and how they absolutely speed healing, as well as how...

Yeah that makes sense. Because I really do try to lift like a bodybuilder often on secondary stuff, connecting with the muscles and focusing on the contraction (not just A to B movement). But...

I don’t do quite the volume that many dedicated bodybuilders do, but I would say I definitely have accomplished a lot of bodybuilding accessory to build what I have. I mean my squat, bench, and...

when I was doing a thousand squats every single day in xfit I had huge legs. when I stopped and switched to deads they atrophied horribly. When I brought back squats my legs grew plenty again...

Between the band work you’re doing and the bike, that’s a damn good start for rehab. TKE’s are great for knee and quad rehab too.

Light stretching, 1 round of jumping rope on the wrestling mats to absorb impact and some band stuff for knee stability. Bodyweight split squats too I'd imagine I could, honestly, that's a great...
