    Thanks dude! Wrecked my elbows again though. Ugh. Something's gotta give cause it put a damper on bench today. Couldn't even finish my warm up without worrying I was gonna drop the bar. Only made it to a single at 250 and that took 3 tries unracking it. I think I need to start using the SSB...

    Squatted 380 for 5x5 last night. That was a PR as I think the most I've 5x5'd was around 335. Left adductor is a little sore today but I think it's actually from bending conduit all day yesterday. Finished up the job I was on, helping out on another til the next one kicks off and I'm out of...

    Killer performance. Awesome to hear it went so well. You thinking you'll stay in this body weight range for a while or owning to move back up?

    To Infinity.... and Beyond!

    Maybe some acute hyperglycemia symptoms? Just a thought if it was more than what you're used to and not sure what the rest of the day's intake was like.

    I agree that seems like the best approach. I don't want to make any drastic changes anywhere right now, things are working just fine for the most part, nagging elbows aside. Not the time to try to solve problems that don't necessarily exist. Thanks for the input and the encouragement!

    Yeah, definitely something to bank for later. I'll probably forgo testing out for new maxes and just run my estimated 1RM that I used for this last training cycle. So where I used 90% if that as the TM, I'll use the 100% weight as my TM in a 531 variation. We'll see, all just an experiment anyway.

    Man I feel ya there, I love the way they feel but justhaven't given them enough time of day with proper technique I guess. I think that's going to change though. I want that number to move up and the only way out is through.

    I'm convinced you're the next evolution of the species. I feel your pain. Dumba$$ elbows, get with the program!

    Learned that lesson myself! Although at this point I'm still unlikely to run out room on the bar, just on the storage pins. I'm thinking I'll probably end up going for six shooter plates at some point, or the Ivanko version.

    It almost counts that I can press my OLD bodyweight... right?? 🤣😩 I've always had this desire to hit 1xBW OHP, 1.5xBW bench, 2xBW squat, 2.5xBW dead. With my weight going up it's staying just as hard! Ha ha . I can hit the squat and maybe bench, getting close on press, but damn am I a ways off...

    And while talking about grip, I actually rarely hookgrip unless my grip is getting tired, so sometimes next to last or last set. 95% of the time it's double overhand. I've never mix gripped and have always been kinda put off by it in fear of my bicep flying off.

    Yep, I use block chalk. I use a bare steel Ohio Power bar and keep it brushed off and fresh. Usually warmup without chalk and then either last warmup weight or first working set I'll chalk up.

    <--- Hookgrip aside, this probably isn't something I'm going to try to work into right now, using straps too often I mean. I don't want to get myself focused too much on anything besides getting prepped and getting this comp under my belt for the time being. I just meant to point out that it...

    What size bands

    I use my mini, monster mini, and light bands pretty regularly FWIW. Mini bands for warm ups and sometimes doubled over on lifts. Monster minis on lifts and lately tied around the uprights on my rack for chest flyes (killer pump!). Light bands on lifts for dynamic days. Haven't used the average...

    Stumbled across this last night. Some interesting info. I remembered the point about using straps for all his deads from his interview on Table Talk. Makes me want to give straps a try to be able to forget about trying to hang on to the bar and just focus solely on the activity in the legs, hips...

    Ah, nope! Never done that, ha ha. Glad the curls came to the rescue for homie!

    I've never done joker sets (that I know of? Never really figured out what they are) and my BBB was always the same, back off to like 55-60% for 5x10. Been adding DB curls in here and there trying to work it out and the fish earl is always flowing. 🛢 Might need to up it though, I take 4.8g daily

    High volume squats are still wrecking my elbows. Lame. May alter the squat workout since the other 3 days have been feeling fine. I think I'll just run some heavy doubles and singles on Monday instead of the sets of 4. Maybe something like 4x2 + 8x1 so I can still get the overall volume in a...

    How to quit vaping

    Vaping seems like it might be harder to drop than smoking since it is such a transient act, i.e. just a puff here and there whenever, not a whole cigarette. When I quit smoking cigarettes I just spaced out my smoking times further and further. So like I stopped having the after meal smokes...
