I honestly don't think about it a whole lot. I think about it enough to not pound energy drinks before bed, and I think about it in the same way that I think "I need to eat a salad" after three... -
Segansational replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Not since starting this 5/3/1 cycle. So far it's been Machine Chest Presses, JM Presses, and now Floor Presses. So I'll probably be using some combo of those, just depending on how I'm feeling...

Segansational replied to the thread Slicin' and Dicin'.Congrats man, this is awesome!

That one has my heart all twisted up in knots still. What a weird thing to be so hung up on, "reps" but I walked in feeling like garbage. Ended up going 5lbs heavier than programmed, and when I...

I'm 99.9% sure that 405 x 6 was a 2015 PR. So that's an 11 year old accomplishment I just beat. It doesn't mean my 1rm is bigger or that I'm stronger than the guy next to me, but breaking my own...

Deads 5 x 175, 215 3 x 255 5 x 315 3 x 365 7 x 405 (lifetime PR) Notes I've had 405 x 6 in my head for 10+ years as a reps PR. Rep 1 was a f'ing 1RM kinda grind. Rep 2 was suddenly easy. All...

Today it was sorta funny, I woke up feeling pretty good with no aches or pains, which is incredibly unusual. feet feel good, knees feel good. I think this mon/tues (rest weds) thurs/fri routine...

Segansational replied to the thread Building Back Up.And ghosts! Apparently in @Dustin07 case. [emoji38] On average my guess is around 600mg. For me a typical day could be, PreWO: 150-300mg caffeine AM coffee (80-100mg) PM soda ( Similar...

I'm in a race against a relentless ghost that doesn't exist to a finishline that never arrives in a league of one where the division changes based upon life's circumstances du jour. I'm not sure...

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!

The Tyr L1 lifters I got the other year for quad-emphasis work, Seth Albersworth reviewed them saying they’re so awesome in so many ways, BUT once he’s going over 700 they seem to have a liiiittle... -
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.

9/4 Removed the pendulum squats this week. Really more just an active recovery, volume exercise. Adding the run Tuesday was enough extra load on my low back and leg accessory muscles that I...

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...
