Checkin bag for weighins is packed! Openers I’ll be putting in for SBD will be 534/331/540.
Went to bed at 10pm weighing 228.2, woke at 7am at 224.2lbs. I’m 225.0 now at 29 hours out. Gonna...
It looks like you're using fitbit, or now Google health. I will say that regardless of the quality of sleep (eg, restlessness, deep sleep, etc.) your scores will never be "great" if you're getting...
Ate closer to maintenance yesterday and slept a better almost 6 hours. Otherwise, down another belt notch!
Forgot to log yesterdays workout:
TBDL 3 x 3 x 345
TB Shrugs 3 x 6 x 165
Cable Shrugs...
We’ll see how this weekend goes first! Gotta make it through the gauntlet, but the plan for at least the next month is to trim a few more lbs of fat because we’re going on vacation to Huntington...
This is mainly why I’m considering doing next meet in the 198 class.
Not because it will help me get stronger or hit my lifetime strength goals, but rather those ultimately exist in the other...
All am saying is that it is so much easier to maintain momentum than recreate it. Not only physically but psychologically. It was far easier to stick to my competition diet than it is now just...

Bench, rest-pause technique:
45x10

Working on the lift command cadence as well, to get used to a stop and press. Today went smoothly for...
Rest up / heal up and you'll be back to fighting form in no time!
Nice job either way, and very cool to see some of those big lifts being pulled at the meet.

Meet Recap
Meet ended up being my worst meet based on last heavy's hands down. Started out with my 1st warm up of squats will 135lbs and felt a pain in my left lower...
Thanks all. Excited I get to cheat some on my diet next couple days before I get back on track. My openers will be:
Squats: 363
Bench: 275
Deads: 451
Will go from there and see what happens.
by monday we will have planned out the rest of your life, refinanced your mortage, sent the kids off to college and re-organized your wardrobe for you as well.
You know, that didn't really even dawn on me. So perhaps.
OK, this is definitely reasonable. I wasn't on board with signing up for 5x10 after DLs, but 1-2 sets with light-moderate weights makes...
I think it comes down to what or why you are doing it. The idea behind them from my understanding is to add volume for hypertrophy at a weight were you get plenty of practice and start to learn to...
And in Seg’s case, he doesn’t even need to do 5x10 RDLs. We’re talking about a set of 10 prior with the empty barbell as a warmup, then maybe a set or two after if he feels good for the work. With...
Wife and I decided we should shave my torso & arms for the meet. It was a good call, can definitely see more definition overall. My stepdaughter remarked that it’s wild how much leaner it made my...
Had a decent training session yesterday, opted for a top to bottom push session.
WU + 20 minutes General movement, Quadruped Complex, TRX Complex
Swiss Bar Floor Press - 4 sets + 2RP on last...
Excited for you to get to move forward on this! Sometimes you just have to make a way, even if it sucks - it’s still the best path to get where you want to go.
Oh, I am skipping waiting. I am going to pay the $450 out of pocket to get the MRI done, and if we find something insurance has to deal with regarding surgery, then we will present that. If not, I...
