Friday was only ~1,300 calories coming from protein powder and a Caesar salad. Hit a new low bodyweight Saturday of 226.0lbs, flat but hydrated.
Saturday took 30mg Mk677, swapped my 25mg Var for...
Sights set on the finish line! With how you've been progressing, this should be a good meet!
I'm going to need to take some pointers as I work up to my first "meet" attempt.
That’s what I like. Keep the groove greased but it’s just practice that’s heavy enough to transfer, not work - it’s just technical practice while you’re resting up.
More I thought about you are right. Will work up to 405 to 425 only. Pulled 505 not to long ago so strength is definitely there for 506 at the meet. 10 days out take last warm up should do not harm.

Energy been super low lately but pretty much happens at this point, 12 days out, every meet.
So this may just be me, but I wouldn't test your DL now without already having been well practiced in deads recently in training with your lower back issues. If the DL number is not that important...
Yeah, hoping this is the case. This quick meeting prep will tell me very quickly! [emoji38] Let's see if my old @ss has any gas left in the tank.

Hey man! Getting caught back up! I highly doubt you have lost strength, a few training blocks to get back in the groove and I bet you will be surprised on how quick it comes back and maybe even...
215-220 thereabouts. So yeah, not too bad here about a 15% drop off on the top. But it's squats and deads that have really had little or no programming during my hypertrophy mesos, so that's where...
years ago I was with a group that was doing tempo work with 2.5lb plates to warm up for bench. we were moving the 2.5's so slow you'd build an honest sweat doing it (flies, laterals, everything)...
Doing lots of things doesn’t have to mean spending lots of time - these are meant to be rolled through efficiently, with the purpose to be to prepare the body & break a sweat. Too many lifters are...
Here's yesterday's session: M6, Wk5, D4, last day of deload.

Yeah, even though I was generally in the "no deload" camp, I would definitely run myself into the ground and sort of force a deload maybe once or twice a year. Now it's basically every 5 weeks...
You know the longer I do this, the more important I think it is to just leave something in the tank most of the time - stringing together consistent work with some longterm progression is all it...
we did for a couple days last week, nasty enough that you could feel it in your lungs when we were bucking hay. but most of the smoke we had came in from BC. the fires are raging on the east side...

man I never know if Jekyll or Hyde are coming out on a given day. I just go through the warm up motions, crank the music and hope for the best. But there is something about routine... usually...
