    I may have to check that out. LOL The wild thing is there were so many things i started typing that were starting to branch off into other wild tales... Like in between the 2 years I hadn't...

    Aldi had these chicken breast dumplings with pretty good macros, had 2 servings over a cup and a half rice and a half bag of spinach. The dumplings and the spinach were fried up in about a half...

    There certainly could be - some places are generally hotter beds for performance than others. The Midwest, Texas, pockets up down the East, South East, & West Coast. I mean there are strong people...

    Pre-workout meal is Turkey, cheddar, and spinach on a sun-dried tomato wrap with hummus and stone ground mustard. Greek yogurt with a high protein granola, half a banana and a drizzle of honey...

    Because I've been around a lot of bug strong ppl I often feel like I'm not that strong. I know on paper the numbers stack up, well. I know most ppl I've trained with can't out lift me. But because...

    That’s because that middle ground is where years of grinding take place. And they either figure out how to train, and that training is 5lbs at a time & are content with that reality, or they don’t...

    Because of where the competition is being held I have a feeling there's going to be some really strong people there. I honestly probably won't be going to the November one, but I'm training for it...

    Watching that guy deadlift he made it look so easy. Looked like he was pulling 225 but it was 585. He also had perfect form and clearly had been training his whole life specially for that lift. I...

    that and I think 225 bench the ones that always pop up into my feed. Its probably fairly accurate. I had to bust my ass to break 315, personally. just my own observation locally it seems like...

    I saw a thing the other day on my social media feed, which probably means that it’s not actually true, but it said that only like 0.02% of the world‘s population will ever achieve a 315 squat...

    Ah that’s tough man… but yeah there are specific rehab protocols for that kind of injury… good luck!

    Yeah that’s exactly right; local competitions are for everyone. You’re going to see it all generally, mild to wild at a local show.

    I think you're crazy to have to question this lol. we get stuck in a wind tunnel sometimes when we are only surrounded by other lifters. a 900lb push/pull for any human is great. Maybe not world...

    ohhhh i like the idea of low incline bench... my old gym did not have this option. low incline db yes, but not with a rack. new gym is quite modular... I might have to throw these in so I can go a...

    Yes a 900 push-pull at a lower men’s weightclass is definitely respectable; you won’t be out of place at a local meet at all with 800 even. I routinely train for meets ahead of when I sign up for...

    I hope so, I've kinda not enjoyed the gym most of this year, all the setbacks killed my mojo. But it's time to mash the peddle and get it together. If I can stay healthy im teasing the idea of...

    For some active recovery today I walked 2.5 miles of shoreline at the beach and swam for a couple short bursts of about 10 yards at a time. 6-7 times

    I was really surprised I could do the defect deadlifts as well. That didn't seem to bother me at all and that had me going way below parallel, ass to grass. It's weird how one causes pain in the...

    So far it seems good. When I get below parallel I think it pinches that meniscus or something but it eliminates a lot of the risk for lateral movement the way you're in the machine. I've got this...
