how are your plants doing? I took those clones with your advice a while back and have them in the dirt now looking great. they're smaller than everything else but growing nicely. its also crazy...
Today is basically full body the two main exercises are my heavy three rep bench followed by the three rep three second pause bench, still doing a 20° incline to protect my shoulder, and I'm also...
Got 6oz chopped chicken, 2 cups of white rice.
The weird looking brown stuff is a breadcrumb stuffed eggplant from my garden, the bowl of vegetables is from the garden too, with some blue cheese...
Lunch was a big shake with 42gm protein and 65gm carbs, I'm not exactly sure how much fat but probably only two or three grams of fat as there were no fat sources other than the protein powder...
Today I worked a 14hr **** and after my morning coffee I decided I wasn't eating till after work (right now) this has been my problem lately, low appetite during the day and extremely hungry at...
Happy belated birthday sir! And wishing happy ones for your boys; Saturday should be a great time.
Yes it’s such a big difference when crud that has been piling up gets broken up! Lots of...
Yeah, scar tissue in the upper outside of the pec, and where the front delt attach. Starting at my armpit and going about 2” to 3” up, including the fascia, felt all lumpy when you pressed on it...
well, we can't all be Juan

Happy Birthday!!!!
is the thought at the end of the day, bound up muscle fascia or something else in there? did he...
Happy birthday GP! Also that is cool about your two sons having similar birthdays, just one big ol celebration!
Glad your ART guy is doing positive things for the shoulder. I really need to look...
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...
