Lp(a) is largely genetic and doesn’t change much, so if does come back good you won’t need to keep checking it generally. That is something I do have in my favor, that it’s low in range even when...

Yeah deadlifting first thing is tough. The body just isn’t as turned on neurologically and even if you do deadlift-only at a competition, you have to wait until squats and bench are done so it’s...
10/16
Have had pretty busy week at work and reduced calories this week intentionally to prepare for this cut I’m about to do. Glad I got the work in Tuesday because Wednesday didn’t happen...
10/13
Got 5 hours of sleep at work last night , broken up a bit. Got 2-3 hours mid day today. Have to work all day and all night tomorrow , half day Thursday, and Friday. Next week is Deload and...

Meet Recap
Overall happy but again disappointed in deads. 1st attempt with bench, 276lbs, jumped the press command and no lift. The next 2 attempts played out as...

Yep. It’s just generally a little more specific to risk, it’s theoretically possible to have a decent ldl but a disproportionately not as decent apoB. If you do then the answer is to just crank on...
Hope you have a great time this Saturday at the meet. Just enjoy the process and each time you lift in training, this week, just visualize hitting your numbers.👍

I would see what these guys have to say as they are way more experienced. Initial thoughts are you know pretty well where you are on the deads I wouldn’t risk over cooking the CNS less then a...
I tend to work lats/traps with DL personally, as an accessory. But you did 3 sets plus the single on pulls ? 365 x 10 seems like a pretty big day unless you're a 500lb+ puller. actually, maybe...
If the meet is this coming week, the 24th, I would not pull over 60% max for a few singles, if you pull at all. You want to be fresh! And deadlifting is not that complicated. You won’t forget how...
Kinda to piggy back on what Hyde said, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Lots of programs work if you stick to them, and a big part of why this programming has been successful for me is simply...
Also a little bit of a special evening, I sorta purposely worked my training around tonight. Are anniversary today, grandma and grandpa watched the kiddos so we could go out and eat a nice Mexican...
I would keep running the high frequency program you have been. That is the fastest way to improve provided you tolerate it, and you have proven you know how to select loads with it that do not...
It seems like it for sure, layout is pretty simple but effective and lots of room for growth at my point. Working on plugging numbers in so I don’t make the dreaded mistakes of starting my TM’s...
I think the Big but boring is an excellent choice for those in a home gym, or that workout at busy gyms where changing a station means you might have to wait on someone else. Plus it just works...
Yeah all morning been going over boring but big and reading his notes for it and looking at the conditioning work he prescribes. Looks like on his “7th week modern protocol” he talks about...
part of me hates that I so whole heartedly jumped into 531 and that I am suddenly preaching its merit like gospel after taking 5-6 years off from 531. Especially considering I'm still learning...
