Yeah the shorty deload can be a good play here. You have 19 day til no training, so just taking a few easy days to circle the wagons up can be a good play before the last push. Then you have 15...
Good info. Since I don't take days off though... [emoji38] on a side note, I heard Jay Cutler mention he still works out 7 days a week. Crazy!
Did end up going for another pre-dinner walk with...
Today is ironically I think my past day of this cycle before programmed deload, a word I haven't had to use in a while yet I'm sorta looking forward to it! Lol
So to be clear, the dead bug is basically a regressed form of bird dog. This makes it more ideal on off-days because you just roll onto your back and knock a few reps out, or for a short time...

Just forgive the Mark McGrath bleached hair, it was the 90s, but thats my grip in my hand and blood on my face, this was the day I decided to start wearing my helmet lol.
we didn't know how...
That’s awesome, and you got good height on that jump. My best friend was big in BMX when we were teenagers. He actually was sponsored by Redline and won more races than I could tell you, but he...
Nice job Green! As Hyde said, count it.
Re: TRT testing - when actually is the optimal time to test if you wanted to look at levels? Is it an hour or two post-bolus injection? At the midway point...
Squat 1RM 395! Let’s go!
Had my daughter take a video of 375 and 395. 375 was clearly exactly parallel, but 395 was iffy. I’ve asked a couple friends who workout (not actual powerlifters but...

Curl Ups (only recently added these back in).

Consider some cat camels and dead bugs maybe on days you don’t train as well, so you are getting some dedicated bloodflow and movement to the area every day as well. Or as secondary things in the...
While last night I racked up good total hours of sleep, it wasn't entirely restful since my son isn't feeling well. He woke up early this AM and I had to give him some medicine and sit with him...
Great news, things are much better today. It took a few days for the inflammation to get down, but yesterday I was able to do my traction, we just lowered the resistance, and made sure the neck...
Setbacks WILL happen. Injuries occur, and old ones can get grumpy. That’s okay - it’s not a death sentence & you know things can be improved again. Nothing is guaranteed permanence in life, but...
TRT is what puts you into physiological testosterone ranges, and ideally also has you feeling relatively good/vital. TRT+ would be doses putting in excess of top of range for total t, and/or...

End of the week. Beginning of summer {not officially}. Starting week 3 of 24 on Reta. I'll post results tomorrow to see if any weight has been lost.
Right now juat keeping up with the McGill prehab work as always, but also adding in the curl ups on the floor (usually I skip those), plus daily CurcuPrime usage on lower back (and left...
I am failing to understand why we don't have a link for this place. :) You holding out on us?
CGP is getting up there, I am sure it is cool working up over 200 on it.
Thanks
Yeah, I’m excited to get the new equipment in but especially that shoulder press machine. And like you said it can help spare the shoulder joints. It just seems like all the plate loaded...
450 sounds pretty plausible as something you’d see commonly. 540 is definitely trained powerlifting in highschool, which isn’t particularly common (but definitely does & is possible),
It is...
my boy just texted me a video of him absolutely crushing a 405lb squat ass to grass today, 6 days after turning 17. If he wants it, the high school record will be his for the taking next year.
