Happy birthday man! And pretty cool to share a birthday and then the next day the other son! -
Well gentlemen I turned 62 today. Today was mine and my middle son’s birthday. My oldest son’s birthday is tomorrow, and we’re going to have a cookout and celebrate Saturday. So I turned 62 today...

All good stuff…. I would much rather start lighter and slowly progress to hit my goals than to let ego push me into starting heavy, thinking it’s more impressive, but a much higher risk of injury...
-
It is to me at least. I mean the triple with 452 this morning was fast & easy because I am all gassed up on gear & using the super-stiff knee sleeves, but aside from 6-8 weeks out of a contest...
-
I actually think this is something I experience when I travel and find a gym I'm not used to. Particularly this time around, since everything was in kgs I probably went more conservative - but...
-
That makes a lot of sense. for fun, I just applied the same thing at 265/.95 = 278TM. so 278/.90 puts me at 309. I had went the default method. I think I started with a 295 true max (vs 305 PR)...
-
Jim has even said the lighter you can set your TM, the better, especially for more advanced or experienced lifters. He has seen tremendous success running TMs on squat as low as 75% of competition...

Awesome work, and yes people don’t understand that aspect of 5/3/1 (or training in general). They think if they run higher weights in training that will make them stronger faster, instead of...
-
does it seem like the shoulder is more bothered by the overhead work than the bench work? really glad to see you throwing down spottos, I do think I need to either incorporate those or pause work...

I kept going back and forth forever because I felt stronger wider, but the past couple cycles I've really kept it narrower. for me and my bodys width, that puts me really close the inside of the...
-
No I don’t have a close grip…it’s a little wider than my shoulders, with forearms straight. It’s really been fine though 4 cycles of 5/3/1, and then I had that issue on the HS Shoulder Press, and...
-
probably smart, plus you got the prescribed heavy work done. how narrow is your grip? I was always taught a bit narrower like this one I circled but it can be a mind game going back and forth...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.Sounds like things are going awesome for you right now. It is always great when you have those periods where everything is kind of clicking.
-
Your effort and numbers in here are looking really good. I would say to watch how much extra fatigue you put in with cardio and other extras on top of your prescribed programming, but I'm also...
-
Yep, and I bet that’s the same thing that will delay my Saturday morning bike rides. Hey, that still counts as cardio in my book.😜
-
She knows there's only one way to get me out of bed Saturday mornings [emoji1787]
-
You might want to keep going with that cardio….with that Honey Do list your wife has been having you do, since she’s been home, you need all the conditioning you can get for the weekends.😜

That thing looks fun. It’s going to take you out of the gym playing on it !
