I don't know that it is too much, the RDL's looked a bit intense, but I don't remember your typical working weight for it. However if you did better on your last first week after deload from going...
Yep that’s it….with Spotos you’re stopping and controlling the bar just above the chest, and then that pause before you drive it back up. Like Akboom said you’re killing the momentum and having to...
Yeah it’s about holding the weight and killing all momentum and then push up. I would go with spottos. Hyde will have all the technical details when he gets here
Can anyone explain the difference / value proposition in spotto vs paused in a comp bottom position? I plan to incorporate one or both starting next week and I'm not fully sure how one is better...
Here is where my TMs currently lie in the app in case anyone has thoughts on adjustments:
Right now bench and squats I think are the closest to accurate. Meaning week 1 (5s) are pretty...
Do you think it was too much? I am still looking for balance in my deloads but volume is pretty low. Dropped BBB/BBS (10x5 or 5x10) entirely, replaced with a couple decent sets of the RDLs, then...

Notes...
in totally unrelated news I just booked a trip for a customer visit in Maryland next month and realized that my round trip flight goes INTO WA DC, and then flies back home out of Baltimore, lol...
The only other thing to remember, wait for the cue. You will be excited and might be tempted to follow your normal pause tempo, however you need to wait for the command. The last thing you want is...
You will want to warm up to a weight heavy enough you feel well-prepared for your 185 opener neurologically - 165 for a top single is likely perfect to open 185. Focus on setting up well before...
This last little touch often can feel a bit heavier still - you have 3 more days to shed fatigue, and you will.
Hydrate, get whatever sleep you can, work on those knots & do a little mobility -...
Not if you don’t want to get disqualified in a raw meet for having a second layer under the legs of your singlet.
You can’t wear compression/biking briefs or anything - they take it pretty...
Oh wow, that makes sense, I was thinking visibility but it would make sense considering compression shorts. The things you can forget in 8 years. I don't even remember that being a thing, but it...
Ok, so one more prep question for the experienced folks:
I have 20 mins in between lifting flights for warm ups. Now, I'll probably use at least half of that for my old man routine (foam rolling...
I will let @Hyde get into the specifics there, I don't want to steer you wrong, but you can get there early and get all of your rolling out before the first flight, then warm up appropriately for...
Congrats man. Perfect primer workout today. Congrats on the second interview
Every night between now and the meet you should do some quiet time and visualize your lifts with your target weights...
If I am not fasting, I will still use a little powdered creamer in my coffee. Not enough carbs to make a difference, and pretty consistent, so I just adjust the rest of my macros, and get good...
