    The strive to be reborn anew.

    So, I apologize for the lack of posting. . . It has been awhile, I wont lie, it has been a rough span of time for me. During training shortly after the post above. I tore my rotator cuff doing over head presses. . . Now this didn't stop me from my goals of working towards Aprils powerlifting...

    The strive to be reborn anew.

    Why hello there!. It has been a while. I have been absolutely lazy when it comes to updating this thing, or my life is simply that hectic. So update. I hit a 225lb bench, 425 deadlift and a 405 squat. All of my lifts were for multiples. So I am sure my 1rm is relatively higher. (Yay)...

    The strive to be reborn anew.

    Boy oh boy, these last few weeks have been slow. I took a week off due to well . . . Life. Do I regret it? Nope. I came back to the gym and was able to crush my goals on Monday. Hitting a 325 squat. (I can probably hit 350+ my stands can only hit 400 before they get closer to breaking. So I...

    The strive to be reborn anew.

    So legs didn't work out, as they were suppose to. It didnt make sense, to me, to hit legs for hypertrophy and then the next day strength. I opted for strength so I took the day off. Last night however I was able to hit my strength day and efficiently use my time and energy. I took it easy on...

    When to start a cycle and what to use?

    Honestly I have no idea why my chest is so low. I started originally with Mark Rippetoes starting strength, then slowly transitioned to one of Layne Nortons programs. I have even moved and done 5/3/1. All of these programs were awesome but my squat and deadlift has always been much higher then...

    The strive to be reborn anew.

    Merry Christmas to you as well my man! As for the update. Yesterday was armday. Sad to say, I couldn't finish it. On the final set of curls, I felt tendon pain in my nondominate arm, it seems I went to hard to fast, I listened to my body and took the hint, I stopped before anything popped...

    When to start a cycle and what to use?

    Well, good thing I am trying to cutt currently. This post is more directed at when would be smart to start a cycle. I know realistically if I want to reach the pinnacle of my sport, I will need to utilize some cycle. So what BF would you recommend, and a guesstimation is okay, I plan on doing as...

    When to start a cycle and what to use?

    Thank you, I saw that as well. My chest for my weight doesnt actually have an tremendous amount of fat on it, compared to my gut. Lol. So I was curious if it was based on total fat% or more likely if you have a high fat% in your chest.

    When to start a cycle and what to use?

    As of January im turning 26. So I know im at the age where my Test levels are dropping. I am 5'11" about 300. I recently just started training again after being away for six months due to an injury. (Before my injury I was pulling about six for dead and squat and about two to three for bench. )...

    When to start a cycle and what to use?

    Hey, So I bet this has been already hit upon 100rds of times, if so I apologize. I have been always curious about cycling in general. I am a powerlifter/strongman by trade so I am already, fat strong I guess is what you call it. I just barely started training again after coming back from an...

    The strive to be reborn anew.

    Christmas. What do I find myself doing? Hitting chest and back. . . Today I found myself invigorated by the iron and really pushed myself to the limits. After all if I dont struggle I wont grow. My nutrition has been lacking, but im hitting about 200g of protein a day so that is all that really...

    The strive to be reborn anew.

    Wooo, so my first day of my program went without a hitch. I hit my squat at 300lbs, my dead at 300lbs. I am kind of disappointed at my bench. Only hitting 170, even though I know I probably hit 185, but hey it is my first day back and it was also a cheat day. So all in all a pretty good day, I...

    light weight for reps vs heavy weight for muscle building

    It is science. You have three types of muscle fibers that respond to specific methods of training. You have fibers that allow you explosive strength, endurance and mass. Then you have genetics to look at. Generally what I would recommend, for pure strength go the low rep high weight method that...
