I just remind myself sometimes that showing up is the hardest part and that 9 days of discipline usually leads to that amazing session that blows the socks off anything else. Once the music is on...
I just finished a cut from late March to early August. I did a stack with low dose of reta and 150mcg of ipa/cjc! I am so happy with the results I was able to get during that time! I kept the food...
Exactly. Some people will tell you deloading every 4th week is losing 25% of your training time. I will tell you that getting hurt loses WAY more time. If you are loving the program as is and...
So, my lower back (actually i think it's more maybe even towards my gluteus medius) was bugging me a little bit this week. So not sure it was better or worse to not have my deload deads tbh.
Do...
Traveling for work and an all-day meeting plus work social / dinner after yesterday. No time for a workout due to my schedule. At least I slept half decent in the hotel last evening.
This AM's...
Those looks pretty fresh! I'm always looking for an upgrade to my shoe game, something that I can put time in casually or also at work on a dress down day. Will be curious what the more "dress"...
When it comes to running in a flat shoe you really have to learn the right foot strike or your feet and ankles will suffer from the pounding. It needs to be a mid-forefront foot strike or you and...
I was curious what the lidocaine was in there for, knew it was used for numbing pain. What is in that MIC blend? Do you know what caused the stinging in this pre-WO mix?
New weekly low of 217.4lbs this morning after a lean 1,400 cal Friday (4 whey shakes & 2 cans of sardines in hot sauce). I am also looking leaner with more detail for sure; I was seeing veins in...
Also, started up 5mg of GW on Sunday I forgot I had to hopefully help improve lipids some. There’s going to be very trace Tren E in my system forever, but hopefully the Cardarine will help HDL...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
