Weight: 204.2 today. New low. Today will be one of those days I eat closer to maintenance, but I'll trim calories from lunch to make up for it. Dinner will likely be out at longhorn, steak and...

Those are good shoes; several people at the gym use them because they’re so affordable for how good they are. And the name is misleading - they wanted people to know they won’t slip on sumo work...

Segansational replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Oh, I mean, like I hardly did any work - essentially like a warm up for actual benching. But I guess that's the point, isn't it? Keep the motion, cut back to a weight that realistically isn’t...

Segansational replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Yesterday was a cardio morning. Fitbit didn't record right, but believe it was close to 30 mins give or take. Also got in a late afternoon walk around our neighborhood, 15 mins and ~1600 steps...

Segansational replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.That guy has a pretty sweet man cave set up! I don't personally get the astroturf in a gym, but maybe if I were an athlete (eg, football player, etc.)? But very cool to be able to also open up...

The home gym is the best investment I’ve ever made. If you minus the commercial treadmill though it will still probably take me five years to get my money back out of it if I quit adding equipment...

That sounds like a phenomenally good approach, polar opposite from the mistakes of my youth (less weight, higher volume, and probably equal to, or greater overall tonnage moved, lol). It also...

Something you could try for deloads that might make the transition back to week 1 weights smoother is to add 10% to the deload weights used on the main lifts, but cut the total number of sets on...

coming back to an easy 235 x 8 makes me think this is going to be a good bench cycle for you!

Sitting in a chair with an icepack over the affected area of your spine for 10-20 min max will do a LOT to pull local inflammation out, moreso than taking ibuprofen systemically even can. My...

deloading before its too late leaves you hungry for that day back. deloading too late crushes your cns, and your spirit, and makes the return to hard work so much more difficult. I did that for a...

Segansational replied to the thread KLEEN LIVING - A log about Life, Training, and Nutrition..Is this what you have? I'm surprised they work for lifting given it looks like a large, spongy heel.

You can’t wear elbow sleeves in a competition, so make sure you either get used to training without them OR are just mentally prepared to take your 3 attempts at the meet naked elbows. I mean...

I agree with you both @gphagan1 @Hyde I think it's there or very very close. 300 was an honest rep, not a piece of cake but felt great. Only reason I didn't put 5more lbs on was I wanted to get...

A deload is a great opportunity to get zero risk form practice imo.

If you’re ever within 5lbs of 135 for a set of deadlifts like that, just bump it up. 135 normal height would be easier than 130 with smaller plates that force you to pull from a deficit, and it...

3-5lb swings weekly should be pretty normal I think just off hydration alone, how full your guts are etc but you've trended well for like 2 years now. slow and steady is definitely proving that...
