Same diet and deficit that I usually do that results in poor sleep, except drinking low sugar Gatorades/Powerade Zero again and slept great. Crazy.
Thanks man I appreciate it. It's still the mental game to go in after all this time and keep pushing for something new but I remember a while back when Kleen was hitting 315 x 5 and it's always...

Yeah you guys have some good gym prices, maybe because a lot of you have been grandfathered in or just have long term relationships. Around us, everything is brand new fancy gyms, so all monthly...
Well the $15 is for employees at our company, but there are quite a few of us that go there though. His normal membership is $30 and that’s the gym and tanning beds. And Cops, Firefighters, and...
Ha, I realized I had been saying my guy bought the gym 5 years ago, but he bought it in 2018. I joined in 2017…the first owner gave a deal to our employees of $15 a month. Then in 2018 when my guy...
Time to get back after It.

That's a real bummer man, I can't believe they didn't ensure they had the preauthorization from your insurance to do the MRI. Hope you get rescheduled soon enough.
Good to hear about the...
Yeah, even though I was generally in the "no deload" camp, I would definitely run myself into the ground and sort of force a deload maybe once or twice a year. Now it's basically every 5 weeks...
Yeah it would probably help me in this regard. We will see how the next 3-4 months go though for me. I’ve learned over the years to recognize when I’m over training but it would be nice for...
You know the longer I do this, the more important I think it is to just leave something in the tank most of the time - stringing together consistent work with some longterm progression is all it...
Fwiw, I have been enjoying the RP Strength app. But I do think it'll only be useful for you if you stick with the prescribed sets/weights/reps. It takes a bit of adjustment mentally - it probably...
Hope you can work out that issue! Do you have a foam roller, lacrosse ball, or one of those massage guns? This AM I ended up with a random knot formation by my left shoulder blade that I'll need...
Subbed
If you have been hitting squats for 8 weeks, you can start to push the RPE a bit harder.
You could also take a bit of load off too if concerned about pushing too hard too soon -...
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.

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...
