Big congrats on the bench. Curious…. If you hadn’t injured it 4 years ago do you think you would still be pushing 350+ on it? Do you feel you’ve had any noticeable drop off on strength in your... -

MrKleen73 replied to the thread Building Back Up.I was about to say, there is no way he is as lean as you are thinking at a 206 average. I am sure he doesn't look sloppy, but he probably looks a lot more like a bear than you are imagining.

I hear ya on that!
-
Only kinda, i've definitely turned the corner a little bit where the gut has also expanded (I can tell when I put on my belt for squats/pulls) so I need to cut an inch off the gut IMO. everything...
-
I need to jump on that bandwagon, I believe you are officially lighter than me now or very very close. I've been averaging 206 lately but did not bother checking this morning cause I figured it...

Back from the trip. Only 2 legit cheat meals including desserts (just ice cream though). Otherwise, lots of double grilled chicken with Siracha subs from subway. I likely went over maintenance...

MrKleen73 replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.I don't have tons of recommendations, sounds like you have a decent plan on the 165, 185, 205 as a skeleton plan. If 165 flies, consider the 30lb jump, and if that flies you pick from there. If...

tbh I never really cared to have people attend when I was competing unless they too, were competing. I think we had friends show up one time and it was nice to show off for them a bit, but most of...

Thanks! Definitely looking forward to it. It's also so completely different from the type of trips we've done with the kids so far. As long as it's a football field's distance away I'll be OK...

right on! does that shift the mentality a bit to be more intentional/focused? I always have 7% in my head now days from what you and Hyde have said and it sure seems like about the right number...

Hope you guys have a great trip…..hey, you might get to see a Grizzly….have fun.😎👍

Got the work in still! Yeah it takes me a fair amount of warmups with bands doing face pulls and I do lat raises and front raises and some overhead tricep extensions and all to get everything...

You will want to get an opener on the books but I wouldn’t sweat obsessing what your 2nd and 3rd lifts are going to be . Do what feels right when you are there. Adrenaline is going to add...
-
Thanks, yeah I guess the thing I'm still trying to wrap my head around is coming into this prep - being "cold" / unpracticed on a lot of these lifts I hit 205x1 on squats and 195x1 on bench. But...
-
Yeah, it actually seems like a great price even comparing when I look on some of these clothes resale sites. OK, could use some help from those who've competed: Schedule is a little wonky right...
-
@Hyde will chime in but wouldn’t worry to much about your test weights before the meet. If you are hitting your openers with easy you are in a good spot. Getting your 1rm test is good for...

I still have full battle rattle from my BMX days tucked away in a drawer. we're talking the full motocross padded pants with velcro ankles, jersey, etc circa 1995-1998. I can't get myself to part...

Thanks! It’s exciting to feel like they’re almost easy now! Haha Definitely easier than 94lbs ago when they were impossible! I have debated adding weight to a few sets. [emoji848] I may just try...

That would be killer if you ever get the time to do it. Here was a pretty basic cutting board from the same cedar tree about 2” thick give or take. Also realized when I got done I had to...

I have plans to make basically complete set of live edge and epoxy office furniture but just too busy to get started. Give it 3-4 years and you will be redefining what busy is lol. You are doing...

Going to try my hand at a cutting board as well I’ll post a pic of it when I get it done! I know right it’s like snap and a day is gone like that! My kids aren’t to that stage yet daughter is 3...
-
Reasoning for that was low workload but wanted to feel moderately heavier weight and I won’t hit deads until next Friday. But yes have definitely made strides in terms of strength!
-
Loving the progress and I like the live edge table. I have a few slabs I’ve bought I’m planning on making cutting boards out of but I just haven’t had time. My only free time I’ve been using to...

A deload at 225x3 sounds like things are definitely progressing well for your strength!
