Hulk, smash!
Yeah 7 weeks ago my leg was bleeding internally529!!!!! A few weeks ago you contemplated not squatting!
You make the biggest total by successfully making your greatest attempts - nobody gives a **** how colossally you missed ️Awesome showing man, I'm glad you hit the PRs, were able to squat at all, and had such a great showing. I have mixed feelings on your 9/9 though almost want to give you ****, should you have gone heavier??
Can't tell you how pumped I am though, this makes me seriously think about getting back into competing
That’s awesome man congratulations!!You make the biggest total by successfully making your greatest attempts - nobody gives a **** how colossally you missed ️
On squat, my 507 second moved well but not insanely strong, so I went up 10kg/22lbs. The third (529) was much slower, and the way the audience and spotters cheered I knew it was a grind, but I was determined. 534 would have been a bad call.
On bench I was wanting to go 352 for my third, but on 336 my right arm struggled very significantly to lock out. Definitely harder than a second should be. So much so that 347 was even very ballsy, but I had did 345 in training so I really wanted to try to chip it at least. I knew I had to set up absolutely perfect, and I did - 347 was much better. 336 had been a technical issue, not a power one.
I only pulled 529 on a Texas bar in training, since I’ve barely been able to pull. So I took 534 on my second, and that moved strong, so I said screw it and made another 15kg/33lb jump - I wanted to know where I stand and I already had a total. It was a tough pull but clean, and I definitely could not have done 600 today, so I’m happy with it. That Kabuki bar always has a little extra pop for me it seems!
So awesome man, I'm pumped!!!!! Glad you had such a great meet, honestly your weekend leaves me totally motivated for my week of workYou make the biggest total by successfully making your greatest attempts - nobody gives a **** how colossally you missed ️

Honestly it was a ton of fun. It might have been more fun than the last one, because I had to push so hard and suffer so much to accomplish the 730kg/1,609 and there was so much internal pressure to pull it off. This meet there was no pressure - I was just going out to try to lift as much as I could that day.Congratulations !! And the fact that you had fun is Great !!
You thinking you'll stay in this body weight range for a while or owning to move back up?
I originally signed up for the meet because I was small enough & knew I was capable of 1,500 at 220, shooting for a 1,510 Masters level total.Also curious like @ANABOLICWRWLF do you intend to stay at a lower weight and go up further or head back up the scale for your next meet? Hitting the 1500 @220 would be pretty slick.
Sure thing:You smoked it man! Good job @Hyde. Hey I was looking back for the pic you posted of your hammy and can’t find it. Can you post it again? I was telling someone about it and how you used BPC-157 in your recovery. I’m a big believer in the peptide as well. I go to an integrative dr and they gave me two injections in my hip due to an injury. Took care of something that’s been nagging me for 3 years.
Just gonna keep cutting down then bulk up to a leaner 242?Honestly it was a ton of fun.

I want to lean out a bit more yet, but honestly I think I probably won’t bother with another at 220. At 5’10”, 242 is my optimal class to maximize, and pursuing PRs there will put me closer to hitting new absolute bests.
Thanks bro. It’s crazy how well BPC-157 works. I’m sure the GH had a hand in it tooSure thing:

The blood mainly pooled at the bottom of the ham, into the calf, but it was coming from higher up on the adductor. It just took time to seep down visibly.
Yeah I’d say that’s where my mindset is at. I remember feeling very good still at 253lbs last year, being able to walk around the neighborhood and play at the park without feeling heavy on my feet.Just gonna keep cutting down then bulk up to a leaner 242?
You have to pin it very often since the half life is so tiny, but just like GH it does a LOT in that little window of action. The two have a 1+1=3 synergy, truly. GH upregulates the receptors that BPC & TB500 will act on to heal damaged tissues.Thanks bro. It’s crazy how well BPC-157 works. I’m sure the GH had a hand in it too
there's a big difference between 253lbs of fat and 253lbs of muscle that can support itself and protect it's joints.Yeah I’d say that’s where my mindset is at.

I don’t really know what point you’re trying to make.there's a big difference between 253lbs of fat and 253lbs of muscle that can support itself and protect it's joints.
I know we 'generally' have different goals but as I'm up 15-20lbs since last summer I have been contemplating buying some new sauconys and throwing in mild jogs just to make sure I can, keep cardio up etc.
Ahh just that you're gonna carry 253 a lot better than a non athlete!I don’t really know what point you’re trying to make.
Oh lol well yeah I figured that was a given. I didn’t exactly look like your average Walmartian the last time I was that weight lol.Ahh just that you're gonna carry 253 a lot better than a non athlete!
You mentioned feeling good on your feet at that weight and I believe it!
LOL I did, and a day of hiking left my knees unbendable for about 3 daysOh lol well yeah I figured that was a given. I didn’t exactly look like your average Walmartian the last time I was that weight lol.
On the way home from the meet I stopped at my favorite travel center on 55, Wally’s, and got a big slushie and some pulled pork, brisket, and pastrami sandwiches.I bet you are looking pretty solid of leaning down then bumping the carbs!
In some ways, more of a bb approach vs the normal pl? Looks like a great pump day. tri, delt, and chest work?Today was a fun change of pace!
Definitely hypertrophy-focused. In the 12-week program, each 4 week block gets heavier & more specific to the powerlifts, but it’s still a fundamental development plan.In some ways, more of a bb approach vs the normal pl? Looks like a great pump day. tri, delt, and chest work?
That, and it's fun!I am not doing the whole program, and I am not in a place to really grow (food and anabolic signaling isn’t going to be there), but it’s a way to provide structure for this period. I want to give my body a reprieve, bring up any highly-lagging odds & ends, & build up some work capacity. I’m training to get in shape to be able to start training
What was really fun was sleeping 45 minutes later, basically just rolling out of bed & pulling on clothes, no injections or timing doses of food & supplements, and still getting done a solid hour earlier.That, and it's fun!
Had to go check this app out. Pretty freaking cool all the programs on there!3/21/23

Back in the gym! I am a fan of Dave Tate’s advice that lifters back off the barbell for at least a month post-comp, for spinal healing. I feel good right now and want to keep it that way - what I need is to build up some work capacity & focus on the smaller stuff that gets neglected before a meet.
Started Alexander Bromley’s Kong: Savage Size program today; planning on using the first 4 week block of it. It’s a 5-day split, but as I train 4 days weekly I will run it on 9-day microcycles (so I’ll do the 4 training weeks over 5 calendar weeks).
This program is absolutely free to run on the free app Boost Camp if anyone is interested. Today was a fun change of pace!
For the longest time I did one arm with the opposite arm on a flat bench for support. lately I've been doing them as a double db bent over row like I would a barbell. that got my lungs and heart rate going lolOne-arm DB Row
60x6
85x3
100 2x20
I do them one arm on bench for support as well, but believe me my heart rate was jacked! 2x20 was basically 2x40 from my heart’s perspective.For the longest time I did one arm with the opposite arm on a flat bench for support. lately I've been doing them as a double db bent over row like I would a barbell. that got my lungs and heart rate going lol
And it wasn't 20 of a baby weight either!!!!I do them one arm on bench for support as well, but believe me my heart rate was jacked! 2x20 was basically 2x40 from my heart’s perspective.
I was just about to say that2x20 was basically 2x40 from my heart’s perspective.
