Hey guys still cranking away! Finally got all my work trips done for this summer so I should be at home now and back to normal. Will get back to logging on Monday!
Some updates garden has been...
Couple of life things that have gotten in the way lately:
First, we're dog sitting this month and ended up having to take him to an emergency vet visit essentially all day Friday. No real...
I think I paid $9.99 for my 531 app but there is a free version too, so if a person wanted to use a free app for a while on a circuit and not feel like you're losing on an app you bought...
Agree with what @Hyde said. I do them because I need a definitive end goal to make changes and hold myself accountable. When I don't have one planned out the gym/ diet is not the best. Should...
Adding in some beach muscle action is fine as Hyde said. Also if concerned about wasting the money you spent on the RP App then use it to build your way into a strength cycle. Then once done go...
Yeah, I think exercise design and %s are going to be key for me here.

Very cool about the old friend of yours and the new gym equipment GP! As Dustin said, small world out there. Hope you guys get some fun new equipment!
I am also in deload right now - it is boring...

Here’s their story….some of if not the best wings around….. I just pulled up their story in AI because I actually never knew how they started. They are an awesome sports bar and grill, and the one...
TTA-500:
We have a lot of things that will be back in stock in the next few days.
I wanted to go ahead and give everyone a heads up on TTA-500 though.
It is in transit to us and we had to do a...
Yes, you can definitely still do some hypertrophy work - generally speaking, almost all powerlifters do (save the ones at extremely low weightclasses who can’t afford any weight at all). Muscle...
I think you’re taking the exact approach and execution on all your exercises that you need to. I have found over the years that when I can’t push weight or volume while working around or...
Really appreciate the discussion in here gents! No decisions made yet and probably until I come off this deload - at that point will see how I'm feeling both mentally and physically. But, I do...
Honestly I 100% think you should do it. You've been toying around with the idea of a competition for a while and this would give you a focused timeline to work towards and experience to determine...
Some great advice here, I agree with Hyde that if you are okay with the first 4 things, then just do it for the fun, and motivation. It will be a good experience, and might be just what you need...
Do you want to change your training right now? Are you excited by the idea to train for strength the next 2.5 months? Would you be okay with a total well below your best ever numbers, since you...
I will definitely defer to Hyde on this, but considering you’ve been doing more bodybuilding style workouts for a while, with only 2 1/2 months to train for a PL meet, really isn’t enough time to...
OK, so serious question:
I just found out there is a local gym hosting a PL style meet Oct 24th. That would give me basically 2.5 months to prep to do the 3 lifts (I can choose to also just do 2...

Ah, young love! In that moment of course it feels like you'll never be able to see beyond the moment.
Was going to say, have him channel that frustration and emotion into his other passions! And...
Met my boy for lunch today. Dave and Busters is a 9 minute drive from work, or a 10 minute walk (weird, but I walked and sweated my ass off). I told him he's single, he owns the squat. he should...
Yeah, BB is my first love! But you guys all make me just want to lift heavy things up and put them down. [emoji38]
Yeah, coworker basically said for his first meet he just wanted him to do...
If you want to do one, you get to choose your own weight attempts in powerlifting. It only has to be as heavy as YOU decide. The question to consider is if you will let comparison be the thief of...
