Man, I missed this workout…..congrats on the PR, and you’re all over that 600 squat now. Actually as deep as you are on that 578 squat, I wouldn’t be surprised if you went over 600. But I understand if it’s your third lift sticking with 600. Trust the process.
Another nice session….your numbers are looking good just 2.5 weeks out. Looks like you’re looking strong for that PR total. Probably a good call on dropping lat work. After all the work you’ve put in getting back, you definitely don’t want a nagging injury to hold you back.

The ol’ Fifth Set second bench day. Those two sets of 25 can be brutal!
I bet I rested close to 8 minutes before the second set of 25. The weight felt stupid light today, but 25 reps is 25 reps
I’m so glad I found me a good ART therapist. My guy has been a lifesaver for me. Seeing all your success with yours is what made me seek one out when I had re-injured my shoulder last year.
Yeah it’s looks not as challenging on paper but doing it makes you rethink why in the hell you are doing 2 sets of 25I bet I rested close to 8 minutes before the second set of 25. The weight felt stupid light today, but 25 reps is 25 reps
Nice session brother! Looks like you’re in a great spot going in
Another good workout…..looks like you’ve got everything dialed in just 2 weeks out.
Nothing like being prepared! Trust the system and it will pay off on the platform. Are you going to keep the same cycle all the way to meet day or are you going to adjust anything?
Well, you will generally benefit from adding a fast drug the last 7-14 days for extra power. Tren Ace, Anadrol, Halotestin, Dianabol, Superdrol/DMZ, M1A/T, etc.
So the tren ace at 10 mgs daily is tolerable for you? I can also see the benefit of a little bloat but not too much to hamper deadlifts. I guess that’s easier to manipulate on meet day with sodium and water than gear.
Well AAS choice definitely can influence bloat response to sodium (this is why I took Dbol & Mk677 the day before the 578 squat the other week).
Lowest effective dose is always good. I’ve never used tren but tren ace interests me especially for my meet coming up in November. Would be nice for the aggression/strength aspect.
Sort of; I always like to get my last real deadlifting done by a couple weeks out. With my biggest pulling done 3-4 weeks out, and biggest squat done somewhere after that a bit closer. I could have separated them and done the squat as late as this coming Wednesday, but generally I’ve found it’s better to spend more of the final 2 weeks resting up and just light practicing. If you have been training hard the preceding weeks, you can benefit from a big reduction more than people realize. It’s common for people to not be fully recovered at meets, then find they’re very strong a week after because they pushed too hard too close & underestimated the time it takes for delayed transformation.
I think that’s what a lot of non-powerlifters underestimate about powerlifting….one, is knowing the best time of when to back off the heavy weight leading up to a meet, and two how truly difficult maxing out on deadlifts and squats on the same day is.
no joke!
I’m not saying it’s particularly hard, but I think people who haven’t done it on one day don’t realize that making a total is different than individually testing lifts in the gym.I think that’s what a lot of non-powerlifters underestimate about powerlifting….one, is knowing the best time of when to back off the heavy weight leading up to a meet, and two how truly difficult maxing out on deadlifts and squats on the same day is.
I think its actually a pretty phenomenal skill, I have never experienced a PR in all 3 lifts in the same day, or week for that matter. I'm obviously better at volume than 1RM efforts, whether thats mentality, genes, training style, or a combo is always up for debate, but I know when I watched my buddy hit his 500lb squat he was absolutely wrecked for 2-4 weeks even though generally speaking building into that we had matching volume and training styles (just with him typically running squats 100lbs higher than me, but deadlifts and bench were usually 1:1 with me maybe running higher bench weight or higher deadlift volume).
It always leaves me feeling a bit…blasted? Like if dust settling from an explosion was a feeling, that’s how my body & mind typically feel that evening/next day.
The plan is coming together. Good work!
totally makes sense. when we had weekend events they were of course rarely 1rm but more like 4-6 WOD's of all out intensity in 6-12 minute spurts. Different modality, but left an impact on me for a few days.
I know you're right but it still cracked me up
well, trying to, lolMentioning this because @Dustin07 is going the other direction
Nice workout….always impressed with your pull-ups.
Sticking to the plan…..I like it!
You were just walking around all week with a rib out of place?!
Just slightly! If it’s real bad you’ll never get out of pain for anything, but I was good after about 4 days. Such is lifting…You were just walking around all week with a rib out of place?!
is this because you will be rotating them, or because you haven't roid tested to verify if it's var?
I am rotating them based on how much methylestrogen I perceive I can handle from the Dbol without needing an AI. The Var is tested & true. The Dbol is ideal, but using Var about half the time seems to make it much more bearable. Gives the gut a break from getting overwhelmed, keeps the bloat reasonable, etc. Honestly have no appetite or heartburn issues at currently.
Hefty rear delt raises! You keeping them pretty strict? I can’t cheat them anymore or a damn disc slips. So dumb
