    Which YouTube channel? Link me! Yes, I wouldn't necessarily pull out any of the big 3 movements (bench was always part of my hypertrophy RP mesos throughout - I just really enjoy benching!), but...

    yeah but 2 servings of that stuff tastes worse than black coffee and not as good as 6 servings so I go all or nothing. thats probably why I've grown to like fasting more than daily deficits too, lol.

    Went through my 2024 log, where I had 2 cuts. a Fast winter cut of about 15-20lbs, then a big epi run and put the 20lbs back on, then a slow cut from about July 15 > Halloween. which was again, my...

    Oh the flu kicks my butt! I just realized eventually that 4-5 days lost once a decade is better than 1-2 annually. I realize I’m an outlier, but that’s what I’m working with.

    Yeah those are stupid. What’s best without kids is if a friend has a costume party at their house, or staying home to a movie to pass out candy (or just eating some 😝).

    I think I grew up living under a rock, the only vaccine I was aware of after like age 4 childhood stuff was tetanus. by the time I realized people were getting a flu vaccine I was probably 30 and...

    I used to be pretty regular with the flu vaccines, but I have not had one in probably 5 years. I did get the flu last year, but the whole house ended up getting it and me after the rest of the...

    I used to get flu vaccines until I realized I reacted particularly poorly - as a mechanic I’d have to take a full day off work to recover usually. They’d basically make me sick for a day or two...

    I think this a lot before unracking a big squat set, genuinely. Sometimes you have to just jump and let your mind catch up with the fact that this is happening, so get on board. It’s also why...

    This is where powerlifting is more mentally taxing to me, than other forms of barbell sports. I mean I'm here to embrace the suck, but YES! you know you have a job to do and the expectation is...

    Also, I think it’s good to have TMs where they are for now, but if you test and say bench 315, reset the TM down to that at least - don’t keep on with the inflated value. If not lower, like...

    Going over 8 reps on a squat AMRAP is mildly terrifying. Not because of the weight - because you know you CAN do it, and the expectation is you NEED to if you want to get better. So it’s going to...

    I always figured I ended up with 4-6 servings if I used that stuff so if i'm on a cut I just skip it entirely and keep my 2 cups of black coffee per day. 3 cups if I'm fasting.
