Meet Recap
Meet ended up being my worst meet based on last heavy's hands down. Started out with my 1st warm up of squats will 135lbs and felt a pain in my left lower...
Thanks all. Excited I get to cheat some on my diet next couple days before I get back on track. My openers will be:
Squats: 363
Bench: 275
Deads: 451
Will go from there and see what happens.
by monday we will have planned out the rest of your life, refinanced your mortage, sent the kids off to college and re-organized your wardrobe for you as well.
You know, that didn't really even dawn on me. So perhaps.
OK, this is definitely reasonable. I wasn't on board with signing up for 5x10 after DLs, but 1-2 sets with light-moderate weights makes...
I think it comes down to what or why you are doing it. The idea behind them from my understanding is to add volume for hypertrophy at a weight were you get plenty of practice and start to learn to...
And in Seg’s case, he doesn’t even need to do 5x10 RDLs. We’re talking about a set of 10 prior with the empty barbell as a warmup, then maybe a set or two after if he feels good for the work. With...
Wife and I decided we should shave my torso & arms for the meet. It was a good call, can definitely see more definition overall. My stepdaughter remarked that it’s wild how much leaner it made my...
Had a decent training session yesterday, opted for a top to bottom push session.
WU + 20 minutes General movement, Quadruped Complex, TRX Complex
Swiss Bar Floor Press - 4 sets + 2RP on last...
Excited for you to get to move forward on this! Sometimes you just have to make a way, even if it sucks - it’s still the best path to get where you want to go.
Oh, I am skipping waiting. I am going to pay the $450 out of pocket to get the MRI done, and if we find something insurance has to deal with regarding surgery, then we will present that. If not, I...
Yeah, I need to be able to push on something hard, otherwise I get board and disenchanted with the whole process. It is just frustrating at that point.
Yeah, once you get to a certain age, and or...
I have come to the same realization over the years. Gotta work around the stuff I can and decide what level of wear and tear is safe to push through and what to work around. If I just stop my...
Those bagels look fire 🔥! My wife has been on the sourdough kick for a year maybe more so lots of sourdough loafs here as well. Also sourdough pancakes, my personal favorite!!
I may never successfully cut again. My wife has progressed from making English muffins, to sourdough (amazing) to this supply of bagels she just texted me.
Yeah, so I was doing RDLs and empty BB sets during my hypertrophy mesos, but tbh I don't want to do any extra lower back work outside of actual DLs if I can avoid it, as between that and squats my...
Yesterday only got in a quick 20 mins of cardio on the bike. But finally finished up chopping and getting rid of the fallen tree branches in the yard. So more active work in the AM.
Today's...
I think I’ve definitely added some tissue just looking back at old pictures. Not going to really change anything up just going to keep plugging along at what I have been doing!

Another thing I was thinking aside from the potassium is honestly the water. Now you may be drinking the exact same total amount of fluid either way, measuring and simply replacing with the drinks...
I definitely think it is right to keep track of these things and see if you can find the reason, just don't commit to the "can't do" to heartily off of a correlation unless it proves itself to...
