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...
Well, talked some sense into myself and decided if I was going to take the deload week there was no sense in testing out strength on top of it. Even though I came in wanting to grip it and rip it...
It was definitely a fun time, I got more satisfaction out of some of the ppl I had been helping too. The 12 yr old kid who weighs 115 who walked with 115 in each hand (230) was the high point of...
I was happy to just get 510 off the ground, I was running on coffee and gummy bears lol. I was really happy to get 550 of the ground, I really didn't care that I couldn't walk it out. I'm also...
Thanks man, every day is a new effort and I'm trying to self regulate mentally a bit to avoid burnout without getting fat. I'm at that upward climb now. Well past all plateaus. Now it's a matter...

Well, I suppose everything is a tool. I'm not on the GLP train for me at least right now so... it was actually interesting as I've seen several bodybuilders and coaches talk about it lately...
I don't think I'll ever forget the first time I squatted 315 after my injury back in 2016. I think it took 2 years. I had to take a walk in the parking lot for a minute to not lose it. it was a...
Thanks, it is hard to see that sometimes when it is you doing it, while easy to see someone else fighting through a struggle and see it as valiant.
Agreed, I definitely get excited with every new...
