    Building Back Up

    It looks like you're using fitbit, or now Google health. I will say that regardless of the quality of sleep (eg, restlessness, deep sleep, etc.) your scores will never be "great" if you're getting under 6 hours of total sleep time - not total time spent in bed, but actually asleep. Even though...

    I’m just not that strong (yet)!

    195x5 on bench and 245x5 on squats, things are heating up in here!

    First competition!

    13 lbs up is a nice rebound, and looking still nice and lean!

    DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time

    Rest up / heal up and you'll be back to fighting form in no time! Nice job either way, and very cool to see some of those big lifts being pulled at the meet.

    I'm down for it. Thankfully, I have a low interest rate! But, I actually do need a new wardrobe so... Well played sir!

    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 sense. Will test it out on Monday!

    Cardio session, 25:10 on the bike, 133 cals. Fueled it with some BCAA+ energy, 1 pump of Napalm Xtreme, and 2 pumps of L-carnitine gel on the quads.

    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 recovery is already taking a hit - and we're just at the beginning. But I'm open to opinions on...

    First competition!

    Well done! A top 3 for your class, and a top 4 overall is awesome - especially since it was your first show. Conditioning looked great. Also, sounds like a great post-show plan and hearing that you've still got the bug do build and do it all over again! Very inspiring for us!

    GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

    Having just used an isolateral row machine at Newtech, I realize how much I am missing by not having access to some of this better equipment in my home gym. It would also be great to have a real T-bar row set up. Or in my case when I wear tanks, ILS - imaginary lat syndrome!
