    Bench Day Warm up routine. Rotator cuff exercises, resistance bands. Bench Press: Warm ups, 45x10 65x8 95x6 Working sets, 120x3 140x3 160x3 - these felt fairly heavy on lift off this AM. 165x1 - took one rep without sleeves to simulate what likely may be an opener for me. Was fine. We'll see...

    Building Back Up

    I was just watching a clip that basicsaid Smith machines (obviously designed to be safer) are the exact opposite. It showed squat example basically where you essentially can't dump it backwards safely, so if you fail you essentially get squashed/crumpled.

    So, I used to always do mixed grip on deads until I met you guys on here. Then the talk about blowing out a bicep got in my head, plus particularly @Dustin07 you use a lot of DOH grip. So that's now what I essentially exclusively use. Now, I'm not working with anything so heavy that grip is an...

    Thanks fellas. A little stroke of the ego every once and a while does me some good! But I think reality is that I do hold most of my fat in my midsection primarily - so even at my leanest point I've really only ever had the shadow outline of true abs. I do think my vascularity comes out most...

    Cardio this AM: 32 mins, 162 cals. Started slow, but ramped up in the last 10 mins or so in output. Overall felt good. I finally used up that last bit of Napalm Xtreme, so opened up my bottle of XPG Lipoderm Xtreme. Just 1 pump this AM, plus my normal 2 pumps of L-carnitine. Assuming it's the...

    Building Back Up

    Regarding the caffeine intake, I think it's got like 6-8 hrs half life. So realistically that energy drink or coffee mid-afternoon is still going to be around even if you don't "feel" it by 10-11 PM (from say a 3 PM coffee). I know I do this at times and shouldn't, but damn I love those canned...

    This hits. It's hard being the only fitness minded person among a bunch of normies. [emoji38] But honestly, sometimes you don't even know who is into what until you ask! Glad to see you on here more again.

    Ah dang man, hate to see you down for the count! 70% capacity right now is no joke. Rest up, lots of fluids, etc. The loss of taste thing has to be really weird. But I do remember when I had it, I was super fatigued from basic stuff - can't imagine trying to workout while having COVID.

    I also use it as my alarm to wake me up in the AM to workout, since I get up before everyone else in the house and don't want to wake up my wife. So the buzz on my arm does the trick! You could probably find a used fitbit (non-smart watch version) pretty cheap 2nd hand if you just wanted to...

    And to be clear, my lower motivation recently was only work related. Not gym related! [emoji28] I have no issues motivating myself or having discipline when it comes to lifting or working out. Honestly, it's one of my favorite activities. You tell me a perfect day, and it will always involve...

    That's correct. I wear my fitbit at night so it records both my sleep cycle information and my daily readiness score, which is based on a few factors - including resting heart rate, sleep duration & consistency, and heart rate variability. Today's score for example was 52. I've seen as low...

    Thank you, brother. Yes! Two weeks now! Still planning the itinerary. On a separate note, my new Notorious Lifters just came in and they look fantastic! I'm super stoked to test them out. The heel support and the overall structure is actually much more substantial than I was expecting given...

    Weights up, scales down…

    Wow, that wood piece is really cool! Is that really the natural color like that?? Also, killer PRs! Making me look like I'm using baby weights. Literally just mogged me. [emoji38][emoji28]

    Yeah, I almost did that instead yesterday. Just some light KB / DB RDLs work. But opted to hit some back and Biceps instead. Ended up deciding that the best course for me this AM was to live to fight another day. Which seems the right move since my Readiness score was way down coming off of work...

    So, my lower back (actually i think it's more maybe even towards my gluteus medius) was bugging me a little bit this week. So not sure it was better or worse to not have my deload deads tbh. Do you think I should still perform the deload sets this week? Either double up on a day, or maybe put it...
