Something Brandon Allen mentioned CWS had him do to help his recovery for bench was to flip flop the weekly rotation around so squat day always happened next up AFTER bench day instead of immediately prior.
Mine's just a plain reverse hyper that I had Rick at Edge Fitness Systems make for me.Is it the Titan or what brand GHR/reverse hyper combo? I know EFS makes a badass one. Love their regular GHR so much more than Rogue’s (which ain’t bad but a bitch to adjust settings if training with my wife).
That's how I originally set my split up but my training week is organized around school/family schedules and equipment access at whatever gym is available to me on those days.Something Brandon Allen mentioned CWS had him do to help his recovery for bench was to flip flop the weekly rotation around so squat day always happened next up AFTER bench day instead of immediately prior.
What brand barefoot shoes off amazon you go with? I’ve been waiting for the bearfoot Ursus to be restocked but it’s been about 8 years and I don’t know if I can hold out any longer.
"645" lolDude. 645! Nice!
Ya I'll fuckin count it if someone asks me how much I deadlift lol However, it'll be my meet goal. A clean 645-655 done on the platform.Yeet! Your comp pull is sumo right? Or was that conventional? Also, are you pulling hook or mixed (or strapped)? My best sumo is only 615, with a hitch & straps back on New Year’s Eve. Still count it
That’s a great goal! 644-5 is an attempt you can call and I know 650 is; either would be perfect choices game day.Ya I'll fuckin count it if someone asks me how much I deadlift lol However, it'll be my meet goal. A clean 645-655 done on the platform.

Sumo w/hook grip. I have the strength for it but I got in this crap awkward position and couldn't get my damn hips through it.
Probably because no one shouted "HIPS!"

You're absolutely right. I appreciate that insight a lot, man. It's for sure something I need to keep in my head.All about that starting position bro. Jam your hips in early and youll be in the position to lock it out. I had the same issue when i was getting to the point of maxing out my strength and my gains werent just based entirely on technical improvement. Keep whatever cue helps you with that at the forefront of your mind and if you get it passed the knees it’ll be there clean.
Just takes more effort. If you have the time and energy, cooking isn’t usually rocket science. Plus when you’re hungrier you enjoy the food more anyway.Good lookin eats there bro. Shredded and enjoying food...what a concept.
I'm trying my hardest to accomplish both in a sustainable way lolGood lookin eats there bro. Shredded and enjoying food...what a concept.
Agreed. For me, I think the hardest part is just crunching the numbers and weighing it out, but that's turned into a breeze now. I got tired of making my old assembly line weekly meal prep or piecing things together last minute only to cave and eat like ****. I'll prep all the grilled chicken and veggies ahead of time. The rest is easy to throw together.Just takes more effort. If you have the time and energy, cooking isn’t usually rocket science. Plus when you’re hungrier you enjoy the food more anyway.
Looks great @Sean1332!
Thanks, man!Nice squat mate. Strong AF.
Photo makes the bag look way bigger than it is but it's absolutely perfect. Got it at the coast guard PX years ago.Awesome gym bag. Way nicer than my broke-ass torn one.
Also, nice squat
Powerlifter Perceptions of RPEEh I'm calling it CAT since it was a break off the floor pause. Like a wedge into it and break the floor and hold, then follow through. But, fine, you're right, technically
Okay I'll accept the technicality on no numerical value to "RPE lightning bolt". However, maybe we can design a new RPE scale.
In all reality, it was likely a 7. I was too switched on to be accurately aware of any perceived effort.
11- damn, I shat myselfPowerlifter Perceptions of RPE
10 - Nearly Shat
9.5 - Smelled a fart, but more in the tank
9 - Light weight, baby
8 - “Could have did 5 more”
7 - Lightning Bolt
6 - All day!
5 - Did I leave leave a pair of plates off?
100% pain freeGreat to see you benching mid 200s so consistently these days - mainly pain free hopefully?
Gonna crank things up!Yeah boiiiiii looking strong!
