    GP’s Old Man With A Plan Log

    I’d say ramping to a top set is about the only thing they have in common, truthfully. The beauty and huge problem with 5/3/1 is that it only covers the primary barbell movement of the day - EVERYTHING is left up to the individual after that, because Jim was taught that programming should be...

    Awesome session; just keep doing this program how you are and you’ll blow 700 away.

    Try just the empty bar as a warmup for a couple sessions before your normal Floorpress work. Try to introduce the ROM with no appreciable load first, like basic rehab. Establish ROM before loading.

    I mean if your cousin wants you to eat a slice of cake, eat it & be happy for him, but if nobody hassles you then I just silently skip things.

    That’s the right play. You overate yesterday; you just don’t need the extra carbs today since you already frontloaded. Just changed the timing this way. I would abstain from the appetizers & cake at the party entirely. It’s a lot easier to make simple rules than try to moderate your way...

    245x8 = ~303lb 1RM x9 is 313, and x10 is 325lbs. So you really are getting right where you need to be to make that happen - and no reason to think it won’t when you are ready! Whether it’s end of this year or late winter, it’s a foregone conclusion.

    I have some more fitted or oversized 2XLs I still wear that look good on me, but any cheap big cotton ones I am swimming in 😭

    That’s right, thought it was the Cast Iron method. That one was super solid to me.

    DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time

    That’s what my buddy was doing this weekend; it ends up being too squatty. If you film any set from the side, the position the hips are in when you break the floor is where you want them to start the wedge. So if there’s a big disparity between where you drop to and where it breaks at, raise...

    DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time

    Yes, all those things are addressed in what I said above. The bar must be virtually upon the shins (but not touching, we don’t want drag). The knees barely over the bar, the delts just over, the hips fairly high still but wedged close as possible. And packing the shoulders down is really...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Tonnage without specificity is useless. Anyone can appreciate that lifting 1,000lbs for a single =/= 1lb lifted 1,000 times. So raising tonnage within useful intensities that can cause an adaptation is imperative. Plus, it’s going to be specific to the movement; curls, benchpresses and reverse...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    Going to experiment with a mid-week carb spike this afternoon. DiPasquale talks about it in the Anabolic Diet, among many diet tweak variations to help dial things for individual goals & response. Since my lower body training is critical to mission success, makes sense to try it here. He says...

    For one, juice is sugar, and I’d view that and corn syrup like in sodas as interchangeable. I know fructose has to go through the liver blah blah blah but anyone who has actually just taken some juice, soda, sugar drink into a session and sipped it can attest it changes your energy levels clear...

    Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

    I just calculated everything 221+ and it’s about 19,000lbs. The first time I pushed my bench to 390lbs, I used a similar method, inspired from JM Blakley. In a nutshell, pound sand on heavy bench every week until you have no choice but to get better at it 😝 There’s a lot more nuance to his work...

    AM isn’t really like other social media. If you need to drop it because you can’t have your phone without checking other socials, do it! But otherwise, the little community we have here tends to help accountability and motivation - without all the doomscrolling. Wish you the best! Strength is a...

    Also, do not consume sugar preWO. I learned this reading Brian Carroll’s books, and later Dr. Fred Hatfield’s (where he cites studies showing an actual decrease in performance once blood sugar dips, in less than 30 minutes after ingestion). You need stable blood sugar supply for as long as you...

    I completely relate to having to wrap your head around certain weights just becoming routine/owned things that must be done in training, but it’s essential you do to progress!
