Think it helps but again at the time so much else was happening to really say as far as numbers go. Getting off trt Def effected a lot of issues beside the gym.
holy moly, congrats!!!!
What a major swing in performance since last fall. Are you a pretty strong believer in the TRT at this point? I remember you were taking a break but it looks like you've...
yeah for sure. I mentioned before how I often feel like the little guy in the dungeon (what I call the actual weight room at my tacoma gym) and then 9 times out of 10 when I look in the mirror...
The Gymreapers ones continue to work well for me. Obviously haven't put years of wear and tear on them yet, but can't complain about how they've held up over the past 4-6 months or however long...
man isn't that funny? I wasn't able to squat Tuesday cause work/life but I'm sorta glad cause that back of the knee/hamstring strain was pretty sore. luckily weds went great! stairs were miserable...
Good to hear the back is improving. The heat seems to be hitting early this year, so great job getting some good squats and deadlifts in. And that is cool that is basically the same weight you...
glad the back is doing so much better!
tell me about those ergopros, how are they different from the standard 7mm blue? the ergos are 7mm too, right? just... longer?
Just emailed you a Mail Drop attachment so you can grab it from the cloud (video I took is 7.5 minutes!).
Basically, research I read seems to indicate that in the low insulin & inflammatory...
Made it back yesterday, got 3 sessions in not much but did the big 3 and some fluff. Just worked straight thru and did 12-14 hr days. Be back home until the week after the 4th 🤘🏻
Yesterday...
I set up the program based on these numbers:
Squat 315 rather than 365
Deads 425 rather than 485
Bench 295 rather than 305
OHP 185 rather than 205
After one cycle and into week 1 of Cycle 2, the...
Nice Session! Don't get to caught up in the weeds on the e1RM, you will drive yourself nuts. If you are hitting your planned numbers, things are likely going well, peak strength is going to...

I'm glad I threw myself into a program to let cruise control take over, I'm feeling a bit of the fire come back again. it always ebbs and flows, so this has really helped minimize downswings...
OK looking at the numbers I did hit, looks like my fluxutation based on e1RM has bounced between 302-307.5 so that has stayed comparable.
I'm pretty sure if I remember from wendlers book and...
Yeah so what I often do is as weight goes up and reps drop, I try to keep the e1RM of the AMRAP effort comparable - but it doesn’t stay up usually unless something like drugs or surplus food is...
Here's what I have so far logged in the app since I kicked it off May 12th for bench. Keep in mind, the app doesn't know that IRL, 10 x 235 would be likely a lifetime PR:
May 13th 11 x 225
May...
How can it determine what you need to PR? Whatever you have done for X reps, that’s what needs to get beaten in weight or same weight for another rep. It’s not about equivalence in effort week to...
Oh I agree with that, always starting from scratch in a way. But the app is recording PRs based on the cycle and the data it's learned from me over the past 5 weeks. So as far as the app is...

Being realistic nutrition has been 20% garbage lol. Yeah we meal prep which keeps me clean breakfast till dinner but I have not...
What you have done in the past as a PR has no bearing on what you can do today. I mean chasing PRs is awesome, but as long as you are hitting minimum reps consistently on AMRAPs you are good to...
I actually don't know what this means for my programming progression, missing the PR, but having a clean 5+ AMRAP as RX'd (well, almost clean. clearly 0 RIR). I'm going to assume its fine. However...
