    Full body workouts 3 times/week? on Test E 600mg /week

    You realize really heavy deadlifters pull like once a month, right? Hell, I did on Monday for the first time in over two months. However, I'm a 600+# puller so it's different.

    Overreaching with the deadlift is damn easy to do. See how many consecutive weeks at 90+% you can do without considerable fatigue. The best deadlifters in the world will all tell you that it's the only lift where you can't constantly test and, with what you're recommending, that's testing a...

    No person programs to failure deadlifts multiple times per week and expects long term progress. With the deadlift, less is more. Squat more; pull less.

    If I'm reading that correctly, it's still only 4%, correct?

    Full body workouts 3 times/week? on Test E 600mg /week

    I meant the movements and not the test. All the drugs in the world won't prevent a CNS from being blown out and failure on deadlifts is a surefire way to CNS fatigue.

    R/P on compounds like that is far from ideal especially if done consistently. AMRAP is one thing, but R/P is asking for compromised form.

    Developing a Freak

    I agree with the second part, but that's not the same as developing autonomy in a client. This is one of the main reasons that PT/S&C certifications are a joke; have you ever seen how old the data is that they present? Regardless of intent, it must be established to the client what is...

    Test won't do jack **** with that paltry amount of calories.

    Developing a Freak

    I disagree for one simple reason: the client shouldn't be able to attain that level of autonomy for them not to need coaching unless the coach them self is inexperienced. For whatever reason, this is the only field where people think you can acquire all the skills and knowledge you need in a few...

    Donald Trump running for president

    How did it miss the point? It's social commentary just as Animal Farm was. To even attempt to draw a parallel between satire/commentary and racial profiling shows how people are just looking to throw **** at him. Nevermind that the criticisms are a complete red herring and ignore the content of...

    Sean's Powerlifting Journey

    Bench is looking better than you're acknowledging.

    No. It's symbolic from Animal Farm. Authoritarian figures that make exceptions and change the rules as they see fit.

    I'll fill out some between now and then. I'd expect my usual 210-212 by platform time.

    Training program for fat loss (opinions wanted)

    Fat loss is via caloric deficit. Training is only a part of that and there isn't a fat loss training template. It's all related to nutrition.

    10/3 Sumo (Jack/Jack; down) 545x2x1 585x2x1 SLDL 315x2x5 GHR 3x15 Hypers (+25#) 3x12 Abs/Calves Took a break from training last week. Hip was hurting too bad for me to go into a meet prep. Lots of band traction, tempering, and flossing got most of it out. Going into today, I didn't know...

    Sweetlou's training log

    That's baffling to me, personally. I don't know his rates, but I know I'd expect analysis and adjustments.

    Sweetlou's training log

    I did gather from the time I handled his client that technique isn't his forte. Dude missed a squat and turned to me to correct it instead of him. I was surprised that he would defer to someone else.

    Sweetlou's training log

    The week by week approach does have that double-edged sword of being adjustable, but no true vision. I can't comment on his communication (or lack thereof), but, you're right, that aspect is inexcusable. That line has to be clearly established and adapted to the lifter.
