Man, I don't know if I am impressed or disgusted with that! Putting your open mouth on a machines pad in a gym. Just Hell NO! At the same time, you go girl!!!
It struck me as so funny that this post came up right after the post of the girl eating the exercise pad. I know we were discussing that earlier, but the timing. LOL
And a restraining order!
Yeah it’s crazy….I’ve been lifting since I was 14 and I can honestly say I’ve never seen that. Me and the owner were laughing about it later on, and he said I’m proud we keep it very clean, but come on that’s just nasty.
I know…it makes me want to nickname that girl “Harley Quinn”
It’s already done; locked into your mind now!I know…it makes me want to nickname that girl “Harley Quinn”

we usually refer to them as which wife they'll be. "hey your 4th ex wife was at the gym today wearing those purple yoga pants again".
Another great session there man! Those calibrated plates will be a nice addition, I see some of the videos of people weighing cheap plates and it’s crazy some of them how much they vary in weight.
Yeah, he said the set he ordered were from .5 kg (1.1 lbs) and goes up to 50 kg (110.23 lbs). Those micro plates will come in handy for me when my OHP numbers start tightening up on 5/3/1 and I can make smaller jumps in weight. The smallest plates we have now are the 2 1/2 lbs plates, so 5 lbs is the smallest jump I can do. So with the.5 kg (1.1 lbs) micro plates I could do a 2.2 lbs jump, if 5 seems too much, and keep progressing on OHP. Because I can tell I will probably hit my limit with OHP before Bench, so the smaller jumps will keep me from being stagnant with the same weights as before, and at least still be making some smaller progress, but hey it will still be moving.Another great session there man!

That chick biting the pad is wild
Right, SHE MAKES TOXIC LOOK SEXY!!!I know…it makes me want to nickname that girl “Harley Quinn”
Oh yeah definitely.
Oh yeah, definitely intense. They really help me with my form, control, and pushing through sticking points.
Thanks Kleen.
Thanks AK.
you're crushing it! I bet you are right on that 175, this is going to be a good cycle for you.
Yeah, this really is starting to feel like it’s shaping up to be a good cycle. Originally I had planned next week to do 285 on my bench Joker set, but things are feeling so good I’ve decided that I’m gonna go ahead and go for 290 x 2. That’s so true about not having a spotter on heavy sets, you know it’s do or die, so you better do.
Thanks Pack, yeah things have been moving really well….ha, it helps not having any nagging injuries to deal with.

Oh and I will definitely make sure I have a spotter next week.
Thanks Pack, yeah things have been moving really well….ha, it helps not having any nagging injuries to deal with.
Like this plan!!!Thanks Hyde….that’s what I will do then. 290x1 and then if all feels good 295x1.
we are in such a similar place and things feel like they're moving insanely fastThanks Hyde….that’s what I will do then. 290x1 and then if all feels good 295x1.
And don’t take 295 if it will be a grind, be VERY confident. You will go right past it before long, so staying healthy and keeping training rolling is #1.Thanks Hyde….that’s what I will do then. 290x1 and then if all feels good 295x1.
Oh yeah absolutely…I have made that mistake too many times in the past, and this train is rolling too smoothly to let ego derail it.
I know, after seeing your 315 bench that’s actually been inspiring to me because I’ve been trailing just behind you, so I know it’s getting close. It’s actually been awesome for us to be running 5/3/1 at the same time…. I really think it’s helped us to be able to keep progressing through so many cycles…it’s like mentally we feed off of each other’s progress.
Totally agree and it's good to see a program followed by a larger sample size of people. Like I really liked BBB for a while but been watching you do Spottos, now here I am with PRs, and taking some liberty between BBB vs BBS, which will probably also give some info here and there.I know, after seeing your 315 bench that’s actually been inspiring to me because I’ve been trailing just behind you, so I know it’s getting close.

Oh yeah definitely….those Spotos were probably all you needed to help push through that sticking point.
I’m 6’ 1” and last time I weighed I was 232 a couple of weeks ago. The scale has me around 17% to 18% BF, but who knows. So I’m probably still around that. After 5/3/1 I will probably do a small cut down to 220, that’s usually when my abs show good and typically in that 13% to 15% BF range. Ha, but as good as 5/3/1 has been that may be closer to Spring.
Yeah I could definitely feel that work in my lats today. That was my thinking on the pull ups. Even though it was the same total reps that I normally get with 3x12, it just felt like that first set of 14 and third set of 10 to failure just gave my lats a little more juice.
. And of course when she got done she asked “how did it look”, and so yeah my old dirty mind was thinking how good that butt looked while she was squatting, and yeah I told her “it looked real good, and that she has nice….form”. Sometimes I think they just like to torture us gentlemen, but that’s ok I don’t mind.

So I showed her how, but she wanted me to watch and make sure she did it right. Well I watched.

Everything felt good today…. I really like the way the Leg Press, Front Squat machine, and Pendulum leg press hit the legs in the same workout. It just feels like they work the legs from all angles. While I was doing leg press one of the newer hot little babes came up and asked me to show her how to do the front squat machine which is right next to the leg press I was on. So I showed her how, but she wanted me to watch and make sure she did it right. Well I watched
Congrats on the PR's, and yeah really, Calibrated are cool but not needed in general training at all. When getting ready for a meet dialing in attempts and everything they are super helpful, but not having them is not negatively impacting you in any way right now. It is cool that he is concerned about having set an expectation and not met it though. Shows a lot of integrity which I respect. You got a good owner over there!11/13/2026

Shoulders actually felt really good today. Last cycle in my second week I got 160 for 6 which was a PR in my 60s, and last week I got 160x7, so I’ve actually missed writing a couple of PRs down on OHP. So that 165x6 is a PR in my 60s, and honestly from what I can remember it was easier than the 160 last month.
And my guy, the owner, came over to chat with me….he said he had checked and Rogue had still not shipped the calibrated plates, so he called them today. They said on the larger sets like he ordered that the lead time is 6 to 8 weeks, so we should get them around Christmas. He was like “dude I’m sorry man that I told you this month, but I didn’t read the fine print.” He said they do post it before you order, but he really just checked to make sure the order was right and then went ahead and paid. I told him man no need to apologize, you’ve been making it like Christmas all year, so now we actually got something coming for Christmas. Like I’ve said before, he is really a great guy.
Haha right!I'm going to need you to calm down with the PRs. Now you're just starting to make me look bad!
Dude you are killing it man! Awesome job!!11/13/2026
