    Slicin' and Dicin'

    I really appreciate the support, compliments encouragement! I think only other gym rats can understand it when you've really put it all out there. This morning I woke up feeling like I PRd deadlifts, that's for sure. It was supposed to rain today and I was gonna live it up with movies and couch...

    That one has my heart all twisted up in knots still. What a weird thing to be so hung up on, "reps" but I walked in feeling like garbage. Ended up going 5lbs heavier than programmed, and when I got into the heat of the moment I know without a shadow of doubt I put everything I had on the...

    Slicin' and Dicin'

    I'm 99.9% sure that 405 x 6 was a 2015 PR. So that's an 11 year old accomplishment I just beat. It doesn't mean my 1rm is bigger or that I'm stronger than the guy next to me, but breaking my own feat of strength from more than a decade ago as I approach my 44th birthday hits me hard. That's a...

    Building Back Up

    I think Layne posted a study that showed that caffiene intake had a direct impact on strength training. Mark Bell (I know you're not a fan, but...) said something about how you can't take a preWO, wait 30 minutes, then lift that car off the baby.. which I get. and I like when I'm strong...

    are we talking about like a ban on caffiene for a while? that sounds horrible 😂 😂 pretty sure they linked caffiene to lower mortality. coffee at least. its like fried foods, alcohol, calories, or anything else in general. if you think you've had a bit too much, cut back...

    Building Back Up

    its not real consistent but maybe on the top end. coffee = 100 coffee = 100 redbull = 80 preWO = 150-200 I think but sometimes I have one of these alanis my wife found at costco which are pretty OK and they have 200mg I think.

    usually a coffee at 5am, another around 7am then maybe a sugar free monster/redbull in the afternoon. preWO on heavy days, none on deloads. thats about it. half that on weekends.

    I'm in a race against a relentless ghost that doesn't exist to a finishline that never arrives in a league of one where the division changes based upon life's circumstances du jour. I'm not sure its entirely possible to be ahead of anyone given the scenario 😂

    food looks awesome dude thats a great feeling though. its easy to get mentally exhausted before you are able to physically exhaust yourself like that, IMO I always feel so much healthier when I crash because of physical exhaustion. and probably sleep 10x better too.

    I’m just not that strong (yet)!

    210/215/220 are just pain in the butt numbers anyways, its not good gym math 😂 too bad all progressions aren't like 135/185/225/275/315/365/405 etc lol

    ohhh for some reason I thought you were having bad reactions to eggs. yeah we boil up a dozen+ on sundays usually so I grab them quite a bit.

    Building Back Up

    what about the idea of more meals of smaller size throughout the day (in the way that protein shakes could help supplement) to maintain blood sugar etc? I never fully subscribed to the 6 meals per day approach, but at my leanest when performance was the highest (albiet weaker overall in terms...

    Building Back Up

    makes sense, those are reasonable approaches. historically I got buy with just adding or removing carbs but these days I prefer to keep the carbs as much as possible for early morning mental faculties and find other life hacks, this protein shake approach seems about right. pushes first meal of...

    Building Back Up

    I have been bringing extra protein shakes back into the routine lately as way to avoid temptation. either one scoop in coffee in the morning, or a full shaker the minute I get home from work at night (to help eliminate snacking) and its almost overpowering in that I'm simply not even hungry for...
