And back to 209.2 today. Upper workout later.
Saw a picture of myself from my daughter’s birthday party last week and was pleasantly surprised. I’m much closer to the first goal of Hardy’s...
Weight: 211.0
I did end up eating at the bbq, but only had 1 plate and estimate that I went over maintenance by a few hundred calories. Eating my own meal before showing up helped circumvent any...
FWIW, on any given work week when I’m not eating carbs there’s usually a day that will stick out as particularly rough for fatigue, while most of the others will be relatively fine. So I would say...
Weight today: 209.3
Yesterdays WO:
Standing OHP 4x5x145
NG Pull-ups 6/5/5/4
Incline HS Press 4x6x180
Dual Cable Row 2 sets
Crossbody Cable Lat Raise 3x8x12.5
I went from 216.4 to 209.3 in 5 days...
thats the mistake I made for years during the xfit days (where I would rep out at 225, rather than a sensible deload) until one day I finally accidentally stumbled over some variations of...
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...
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...
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...
Nutrition timing immediately post-WO isn't as important as total macros/hitting protein goals for the day, particularly with the "anabolic window" post-training for hypertrophy.
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...
oh I know that you do, do those things, I'm just saying its not like a Jay Cutler split where today is shoulders and traps and tomorrow is arms type approach to BB hypertrophy vs PL accessories...
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...
back in the day when we used to think you needed 20+ rep sets for things like shrugs I remember a study coming out on this topic basically coming to the conclusion that the actual beneficial...
This has me thinking now about what have we learned in the last decade or so that wasn't known or surprised people in the fitness / muscle building world.
1. Fasting absolutely has a place in the...
I have been using an exercise bike for my cardio and pushing the resistance up for this very reason. They have Peleton bikes there at the gym but they want you to have a Peleton account which is a...
