I think that is a very good plan for you based on that. Steady energy, nothing too heavy, it should be perfect.
Definitely consume electrolytes pre as well as intra. You want your spine and...
Wow, unsure I could eat a few sandwiches together in the AM! [emoji38]
I always do a breakfast in the AM (though usually post-WO) of protein shake in almond milk, carb source (oats or whole grain...
Sounds like a great plan 👍
Make sure you focus on something salty and a stable source of energy for that meet day breakfast. Carbs are important, but they have to have a taper energy over time...
Thanks fellas! Great to know I've got some people rooting for me.
This is pretty much exactly my plan now. I skipped cardio this AM, just listening to my body which told me it needed the rest...
It’s going to be great this weekend.
I would not do much else this week besides some very light bench Wednesday and some band fluff. You could squat a plate Wednesday for a few doubles, but...
no joke. I really want to go to this accoustic set (Smith and Myers are the singer/guitarist from Shinedown) but I'm not crazy about the 60-80minute drive home at midnight lol. or the price!
Some nice concert line ups! I'm jealous man, I love live music, but rarely get to experience it.
They need to have mid-afternoon concerts for us old fogies.
I think it was us struggling with themand their mindset and decisions in that stage of life, they were certain they were thriving and on the right path! LMAO.
She is really doing well, lots of...
Hope you have a great time this Saturday at the meet. Just enjoy the process and each time you lift in training, this week, just visualize hitting your numbers.👍
Re: the tempo squats, what you have to consider is, will this give me a training effect? If the answer is yes, then it will cost recovery to make the adaptation. To place that in the window you...
Ha! Squats left me breathing hard after each set which made me question my level of cardiovascular fitness, but mixing things up has been good/fun!
Is it meet week?

If the meet is this coming week, the 24th, I would not pull over 60% max for a few singles, if you pull at all. You want to be fresh! And deadlifting is not that complicated. You won’t forget how...
Agree. Was thinking lighter tempo would not hurt but seems it just might have. To your point too, this next meet wad thinking hit a solid 455 at around 17 days out and call it good. Always get in...
If you lock out the bench or pull, we call that a good gym lift at the barbell club lol. So at least you made an 800lb push-pull gym lift! And especially great, not injured and can go right back...

Meet Recap
Overall happy but again disappointed in deads. 1st attempt with bench, 276lbs, jumped the press command and no lift. The next 2 attempts played out as...
I always love this thread 😄
When you’re on a gram of gear in a college town, it’s not even an accident! Lol
The trick is not to make it creepy or awkward, more complimentary. Which, truthfully...
Also a little bit of a special evening, I sorta purposely worked my training around tonight. Are anniversary today, grandma and grandpa watched the kiddos so we could go out and eat a nice Mexican...
I would keep running the high frequency program you have been. That is the fastest way to improve provided you tolerate it, and you have proven you know how to select loads with it that do not...
