    So you think I should drop the weight and try to increase Rom for a bit? Then if I don’t get a flare up keep the Rom and build back up in weight? Are you sure this would help my athleticism more than what I was doing before? Do you have any other tips for my training when it comes to sprinting...

    My Rom is pretty good with back extensions but I can’t deadlift at all, I’ll probably never do deadlifting again with my condition. I’ve never done cleans personally.

    Yeah front squats are good for growing legs overall for sure. I can do full ROM pretty well but it’s just not worth it for me right now. I can get most of my mobility work from deep split squats too. My goals aren’t exclusively related to hypertrophy or powerlifting, I’m also training for...

    I used to squat very deep, but after I got ankylosing spondylitis I would get crazy flare ups from it and now that I’m working I don’t see a reason to risk a flare up that may make it hard or impossible to work for a bit. I think just the deep position puts a lot of pressure on the SI joint...

    Btw I wanted to show you guys how deep I actually squat. You can see it’s less than parallel but still pretty good, considering my autoimmune spine disorder makes me not able to squat deep. Peep the legs though, I don’t even have a plate on in this photo, it’s just from my first warm up set.

    I’m taking a deload week so I’m probably not gonna post my workouts this week.

    Do you find mk677 is great for sleep and recovery? I’m trying to get a bit of a boost to my sleep and recovery from training, while increasing rem sleep.

    Day 102: I’m gonna go to the gym with some church friends today and do a diamond gym style workout. Practically we go ham doing a lot of lifts and push ups with minimal rest. They also don’t drink water during their lifts but I will lmao. Since I’m doing that workout I won’t track it though...

    I’m pretty sure quads are the standard place to inject biologic drugs. I’ll ask my doctor though. Thanks for the tips!

    I’m not sure about the needle size. It’s available in a few forms like pre filled syringes but I’m gonna go with an auto injector (like an epi pen) It’s a once a month injection. What’s aspiration?

    I’m also hopping on a new treatment for my autoimmune but it’s injectable. Anyone got any tips for injecting? I’ve never done it before and you guys are the ones to ask about it

    Day 101: I had a hard shift today lol and all the standing on ladders while bending over took a toll in my hips, so I just dropped the weight a bit and did low impact assault bike sprints instead of my regular sprints. I also reduced my volume and weight for most lifts. I’ve been grinding the...

    Day 100! Let’s goo, 100 days of the Maximus pact. I felt great today, slept great too. I got a full 7.5 hours of sleep. Work was pretty boring but at least not bad. I’m gonna take a deload soon probably and then hop on my natty stack. Or I may start my natty stack and then take a deload...

    lol I feel you, I’ve been working construction the past 2 months so I’m waking up at 4:30 and doing an 8 hour labor shift then lifting after. I need to go to bed at 9:15 to get my 7 hours of sleep.

    lol that definitely can help. I don’t believe age is a big factor though, at least not as big as people claim it is. But ask me again in 20 years and my mind may change. I just don’t see myself being able to stuff I wouldn’t be able to do when I’m 40. My grandpa was athletic at 77, obviously not...

    If you go to my log in the Maximus pact, you can see my all my workouts laid out. I hit 315 on August 30th so anything prior to August 15th is when I made the most progress.

    2 hard sets 2x per week worked amazingly well for me. I went from 225->315 on bench in 4 months doing that.

    Thanks bro! I literally make a huge focus on my vastus lateralis (outer quad sweep) when training legs. Biking has given me insane leg growth too, I don’t even train quads anymore at all aside from my compound lifts like squats and split squats because biking gives me better results. Im hoping...

    Day 99: It was a good lift today but a bit gruelling lmao. I was pretty tired since I didn’t sleep great. I did my sprints at the beginning of the lift and I was GASSED by the time my weightlifting even started, but I took some deep breaths and lied back on a bench for like 5 minutes and was...
