I usually do 4-5x2x70-75% of my 1RM as deload before max test but not yet.
Yeah I mean if you think you have it next week just go for it; you should have a pretty good idea by 500 if it’s going to be there or not. Most people cannot pull circa-maximally every week, but there are outliers - plus you’re not squatting heavy, so that speeds up recovery.
Nice work on 370! 167.5 is the exact weight I just took at competition on the 1st, nearly 30kg heavier BW. So I feel yours is really solid accomplishment at your weight.
I actually went nuts and did the following. Gonna save EQ for later as availability here is poor and I have shitloads of tren but very little EQ.
That’s a good little strength cycle, and good reasonable doses to get the benefits but keep any sides low. Man if you don’t compete in Powerlifting you should. Your numbers would be really good at the weight class you could compete at.
That's awesome, 370 @198 is my all time best. Right now I'm only hovering around 325-330
I competed in 2013-2018 and I may do a comeback at some point.
Yeah, he’d have to pause his bench, but if he can get used to a wider grip then the shorter stroke should help make up any poundage he might lose.
I think I will do push-pull meet some point, not full powerlifting meet because squatting hurts my arms too much. I want to bench 400lbs without pause and pull at least 640lbs in the gym before it though.
I can appreciate having strength goals that will make you feel “ready” to compete, but you need to understand there is always someone stronger. So whether you win or take last is mainly just about who shows up.
Yeah I know. Here in Finland 1000lbs push-pull total is not competitive at 198 or even 181lbs weight class. But I feel that I want to break those barriers before doing a meet even though I know that I wouldn’t place even with those numbers.
I can appreciate your anxiety, but this is simply wrong - by a very wide margin, actually.
Wow, I wouldn’t have guessed. Push-pull lifters are quite rare though, most guys do full powerlifting meets or either bench or dealift.
Yes, push-pull tends to be particularly inexperienced or very experienced powerlifters (in the sense of number of comps they’ve done, not strength) - guys getting their feet wet with competition OR longtime competitors whose knees aren’t good for max squats anymore. But even if you figure all the full meet lifters doing 1,000+ between their bench & dead, you can see it’s a perfectly solid result anywhere in the grand scheme of powerlifting.
Run it with barely any testosterone, like 100mg. Doing that and using it with primo, eq, or an AI you can take a lot. Otherwise it can be harder to control gyno. Have an AI and Tamoxifen or Ralox on hand, and use P5P daily. It doesn’t raise prolactin nearly as bad as Tren or Nandrolone, but it will to some extent.
Yeah, I’d run it with low dose test and enough mast.
Very sorry to hear that. I did worry when you talked about bringing up an open relationship, then more recently when you mentioned using Tren to cut. They call it divorce in a bottle for a reason, after all. I broke up with a girlfriend of 4 years on a cycle of Trendione/Tvar 10 years ago now (been with my wife ever since). It was definitely the right move in my case, but my point is Tren has a way of removing patience for anything.
We indeed opened our relationship and found many wonderful persons to our lives it’s not the reason for this.
Although I do not believe this way is ideal for any kind of longterm progression, if you have targeted obvious number goals the fastest way to achieve them is to just keep taking progressively more food & gear until you hit them. This could be done in 3-5 months if you push hard enough and can avoid injury.
Super impressiveThat’s impressive.
Thanks! It’s only getting better. Getting stronger again.Nice work man, the progress you've posted so far is impressive. That's a full-on transformation
