    Swanson52 Hypertrophy and Health

    It’s been a long ass journey. I’ve had a couple logs here in the past 20 years, and they’ve been largely powerlifting-centric. I tried like hell the last 4 years to break back into the game, but I was fat, generally weak, and ran into a few injuries. I tore my rotator cuff in 2020, had surgery...

    Remember Me? The Swanson52 Log of PL Program Hopping.

    Greetings all. I'm a longtime member, and I have had a couple PL logs on here before, about 6 years ago. Well, after a hiatus, I'm back full-bore into powerlifting. I'm hoping to compete in December, so this'll be a offseason/peak/comp log and we'll see where things go. Stats- 44 years old...

    DCP 2.0/Combustion/Fat Powerlifter Log

    I'd like to thank BPS for selecting me to log DCP & Combustion. I'm a longtime fan of DCP (1. & 2.), so I know kind of what to expect with it, but Combustion is new to me. The only other supplements I take are protein, creatine, and fish oil. My diet follows the recommendation in Brian...

    Swanson's Penultimate 5/3/1 Powerlifting Log...for real

    I deleted the last abortion of a log because it was a total disaster. I'll link my first AM log so everyone can see what I'm about in case the 5 people who follow don't already know. I'm starting at the bottom, after having a couple injuries (L4-S1 herniations, left shoulder impingement and...

    Prilepin's Chart, Programming and You

    I'm hoping this thread can be an informative resource on PL training programming using Prilepin's Chart as a guideline. Additionally, it will hopefully provide some discourse on programming, implementation of percentage based training, and some information on periodization. Read about...

    Wendler's Beyond 5/3/1

    Let us discuss the new ebook, modifications/additions to 5/3/1, and other new Wendler goodness. I like the idea of the Joker sets, but the percentages still baffle me. On the 5/3/1 week I'm prescribed to pull 125% of my 85% training max? That's still OVER my actual max every 5/3/1 week. Yo no...

    Swanson's Fatboy DCP2.0 Log

    You may be familiar with the OG DCP that was available a few years back. I ran that at the time & had great luck with it. This new incarnation found here; Invalid Link Removed I will be logging thanks to the kind folk at BPS. This video sums me up; Invalid Link Removed I'm a 37 y/o...

    How Useful is a GDA?

    I'm trying to eat more, and typically the easy way for me is to add carbs. I'm using conditioning & cardio to combat fat gain, and I'm wondering if a GDA would also help in this regard. Anyone have experience with this?

    Swanson-Cube Method to July Comp

    My last log went to hell; injuries, nagging issues, etc. I took a couple months off completely, started back up with 5/3/1. Lifted kind of off the cuff at an unsanctioned local comp for charity at the end of February. Of course, since I wasn't entirely ready, the wheels came off and it was a...

    My Thread Disappeared

    I started a sponsored log in the supplement section, but the thread seems to be gone. Any help as to where/why? Thanks.

    Ageforce Weight Loss Patch (Sponsored)

    I have been keeping a training log in that section, but AgeForce has been kind enough to send me their weight loss patch to try out, so I'll log here. I started the patch yesterday, and have a 60 day supply which should give ample time to assess progress and results. I have gotten measurements...

    WS4SB + Dieting = ??

    So I've been using the 5/3/1 for the last couple months while doing a recomp (kind of). I just suffered a back injury, so I'm going to put my planned PL meet on hold and do a straight cut. It seems that the WS4SB protocol would be good for maintaining strength while dieting, but I've never...

    CRITIQUE MY CYCLE, LADIES! Test-E/Anavar

    I'm old, I've been training forever, so let's just jump right in. I'm not looking for anything other than a nice boost to strength and fat loss. Don't care if I get any bigger; actually if I can lose fat but remain roughly the same weight that would be ideal. My diet has been/will be in...

    Prep for First PL Meet

    I've never competed in powerlifting before, but I have recently started turning an eye to doing a meet. I've been training for years (sports, primarily football), but have never specifically trained for the big 3 without doing loads of accessory work. My question is; if you have a solid...

    Dry Joints With Erase?

    I've been using Erase for right at 2 weeks (2 caps/day), and it seems to be working quite well. However, over the last 3-4 days my joints have really dried out (elbows specifically). My question; do I cut back to 1/day, or can I add something additional to lube me up? I currently take 3000mg...
