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...
That's awesome man, loved reading about your day! Without watching you lift, but reading your log over the years, I would have agreed with the judges just off instinct that you likely already have...
Thank you, I really did.
You know, that's exactly the thing my wife (who has no interest in working out or fitness stuff like this in general) commented on afterwards!
She thought it was...

Congrats on the meet. Sounds like you had a really great times/ experience and family was there to cheer you on. One thing I have always loved about powerlifting meets is everyone cheers for...
OK fellas, my first meet is officially in the books! It was Saturday AM for those asking.
Bit of a walk through before the good stuff (#s):
Weigh ins were called for 8:30, so I was up at 7 and...

Lol too funny. I learned how to grow just cause I wanted to and I think the plants are pretty but I still just don't really like the stuff [emoji23]. I wish I did but it's just not really my...
Good luck today! You will be very nervous, but try to remember to have fun maxing out!
Whatever happens, a first meet is just about getting out there on the platform. It takes some guts to go put...

For deload, this sounds like too high - I thought deload was supposed to be at like 60-65%?
That sounds delicious right about now! [emoji1]
Either could have been right? Freudian slip??
Also, on the deloads - if you feel refreshed and solid going into the next wave, that’s basically what matters. So if you feel stronger doing things a certain way AND seeing good...
You answered your question on Spotos. If you aren’t using your lats to control and hold the weight well, it will be exposed instantly. And it’s harder than just pausing comp bench at the chest, so...
I'm fat, not menstruating [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Kleens right though, done carefully I can lean up a bit and keep the gain train going. It just requires the discipline of a monk. Once I flip...
I agree with all that, appreciate you guys working as a sounding board. Today I got my "cardio" walking 5 miles pushing my golf bags around. On my way home my long lost buddy loaded up my drums...
Thanks! Just trying to keep my base built up best I can while I wait to step on the gas again. I have bloodwork next Friday; praying for decent lipids so I can I start blasting in November. I...
No, I’ve never done a meet that didn’t have a squat bar for men. There is a bit of flex in in the Rogue over 600, but it doesn’t really whip. A squat bar definitely helps stabilize bigger weights...
update: more bloodwork results:
i got bloodwork on 10.15.26 following 3 months on 1500iu hcg. i had been off of hcg totally for about 20 days at that point and back on kisspeptin. LH had climbed...
