Congrats on the 225. Impressive after the 1RM stuff. I’m 7 years younger than you but your thread and you hitting PRs and some discussion in @gphagan1’s thread the other day has me wondering… how... -
“Never tie your PR, dude.” -Louie Simmons I think about that a lot. You generally don’t have the energy to tie, then go up again. You need to jump from 290-295 prior to 310.

Congrats on the PRs….that 225 x 14 is impressive, especially after the 305 and 310 attempt. You should start adding in some Spotos, they really help in the area where your sticking point is. 😎👍...

FWIW my buddy just came in telling me he was thinking about my bench today. I've been lucky to have him available my past couple sessions to push bigger numbers. He said my 305 attempt was the...
-
was going to bench at lunch at maybe squat after work, thats why we did zero accessories today, just chasing heavy 1RM stuff, but that was a good hard effort, especially with the AMRAP finisher...

What I think of when I see 44

Free Day/week Bench 5 x 95 3 x 135, 175 1 x 205, 245, 270, 290 1 x 305 (PR tie) 1 x 310 fail Slingshot 1 x 315, 335 (PR) Drop set/ raw 14 x 225 (2 rep PR) Notes Missed my 310 attempt, got it...

How funny, when I saw that I thought HMM we must be having this convo in @Smont's thread. I mean it was cannibis related, so nothing to make me think different. LOL
-
I have a feeling you got mixed up on your cutting thread and this one 🤣
-
Yeah we do have some near us, but my wife and I like to go up to the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg TN. There is a place called Cade’s Cove that you can drive through and stop and see some really...

Might not be your target, but a nice solid mix of macros.
-
someone should tell home depot about this
-
my understanding is that both have benefits but are totally different with the tea you would save your lungs/throat of the the smoke/burn anyways but you'd gain chlorphyl, detox, red blood cell...

So like firewood stack it let it get air but sounds like spacing the boards out 1” and weight to keep them from warping.
-
But this is what AI says.
-
I would think stacking them will help, and possibly using some sort of straps, or a clamp system to keep them from warping, but what do I know. LOL
-
In reality it probably won’t be to big of a deal even if it’s not quite perfect.
-
Does the tea do anything that smoking doesn't do I wonder. Looking at this list I am guessing the last 2 would probably be in that category.
-
I gotta find me a pack of these somewhere; DM your source! 😂
-
Man thats funny cause I am basically the same way. I pulled 485 from the ground and 500 from below the knee rack long before I ever hit a 360 squat lol
-
Yeah, but a 260lb guy built for squatting is far different from your situation. I am not making light of it, the dude is squatting 500 regularly and I have only crossed the 500lb squat once at...

Adds a pound to something!! [emoji38]

Every cookie adds pounds to the bar !! 🤣

Quick cardio session this AM, as I'm getting a bit fluffy with these cookies and Heavyweight chocolate bars! [emoji28] 27:29, 126 cals on the stationary bike. A little Lipoderm Xtreme and added...

Open 185, sink it, and then see how you feel. Jumping to 200-210 would set you up for 220-230 if you’re cooking and getting lifts passed fine.
-
Yeah, I'm currently thinking 185# for the opener. I hit as a sort of 1 RM test at the beginning of all this 205x1, so think I might go for that on lift #2 - I am debating whether that's too...
-
It’s all mental. You know you have 205 in you which means you do have 215 in you, probably have 225 in you , and maybe 230-235.
-
Some people are just built for squatting, short femurs and all the right angles and leverages naturally.
-
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...
-
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...
