    no he's competed a fair bit out here, not as much as me overall in barbell sports, but more than me specifically with like PL or Oly meets. He was a disciple of Rippetoe for a long time and even...

    You probably have a little wiggle room somewhere, and I imagine dropping 5lbs of your average weight wouldn't mess with progress much if any at all.

    Man I love the upright rows as well! Sounds like you are already making great progress and getting the fire going.

    Honestly man that’s a good-looking singlet and appropriately sized. Where else would the straps really go/stay? If they were placed moreso just on the traps, they will just slide down the angle...

    Has he competed before, or is he talking out his ass? That is a HUGE jump, and the CNS might not be ready for it. He might hit his rep, but it could take more out of him than his 2nd attempt would...

    well you hit the nail on the head with the lazy comment. I love him, but unless I poke him and say lets go every day at lunch, he will miss full weeks of lifting. most of his PRs came at times...

    50 reps spotto at 220lbs sounds like a lot more fun and moderately more challenging than the current 50 reps of like 160-170lbs for BBB.

    I was basically searching for all mentions of BBS on the book you sent me and generally it seems like a 10x5 approach on boring but strong could either be at 70% all three weeks, or run as FSL...

    I watched a guy once open at 565. He was a 220 wraps guy, and I don’t know if he took a single warmup in the back. Maybe 495 for a single that I missed. Every time I saw him he was just sitting...

    You could use Spotos for Boring But Strong after your primary bench. Then to help pick up a tad more volume, which does seem to force the bench well, do one AMRAP (regular or closegrip) touch n...

    When it gets cold enough I will keep them and a fur buyer comes around and just buys them whole. I used to skin all of them out and sell or tan them. I might pick that up down the road again...

    my buddy was saying last night that if he was opening at say 435 he'd make his last warmup probably 315 or even lighter. that seemed insane to me lol.

    I was originally thinking a 165-170# opener. Now I'm feeling confident to do 180-185#.

    Hope the challenges at home with the boy get better and that you get a 2nd interview. On the squats, congrats on repeating the 195, when you say you will start higher, are you saying you will...
