Sights set on the finish line! With how you've been progressing, this should be a good meet!
I'm going to need to take some pointers as I work up to my first "meet" attempt.
That’s what I like. Keep the groove greased but it’s just practice that’s heavy enough to transfer, not work - it’s just technical practice while you’re resting up.
More I thought about you are right. Will work up to 405 to 425 only. Pulled 505 not to long ago so strength is definitely there for 506 at the meet. 10 days out take last warm up should do not harm.
215-220 thereabouts. So yeah, not too bad here about a 15% drop off on the top. But it's squats and deads that have really had little or no programming during my hypertrophy mesos, so that's where...

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...

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...
