I tend to feel a little rough after too much candy, but unfortunately that doesn't stop me once that sweet tooth kicks in. -
Quick thoughts are I wouldn’t change up your program I’d run the 5/3/1 BBB and keep it going. You will hit your top sets then get good work in the BBB sets. I think this will build you up...

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...
-
And it is very good you’re deloading, because it is normal to be kind of messed up the week after a meet. Extra emphasis on mobility and warmups should be made, even with low weights. Something...

Agree with Slim & Kleen. Both of their ideas are great. You need to practice what you want to be good at. If you have any aspirations at 700, don’t forsake the big lifts - you don’t have to lift...

You could do a less demanding 5/3/1 template. 5s Pro + FSL as supplemental would be good. If you haven’t you should check out his weekly YouTube Q/A, it’s really good.

I'd probably be in the 160s without any enhancement help to put it in perspective. Good coaching along the way might help get on stage a little bit heavier but its definitely a lot lower than...

Oh, this 100%. I already know in order to compete I'd have to drop down to sub-140, maybe even close to 130-135#. I've gone from 181# (bulk) at my peak to about 156# now (maintenance-ish?), but...

Some good deadlift work! I know with it cooling down and days shorter I’m not doing near as much I need to get back to some treadmill incline sessions my self.
-
I generally agree and often take BBB higher than RX because its way too light, typically, to feel for me. like my OHP I have been running at 115 even though rx was like 90 before, lol. Now...
-
Unless getting close to failure I don't think you need to worry about the BBB messing with your CNS for the most part. It is higher force generation and or the effort required near failure that...

currently app says: OHP 196.5lbs Bench 320.5lbs Squat 365lbs Deadlift 442.5lbs they all seem pretty accurate but I'd say bench is obvously not 90% of my 1RM and Squats are questionable since PR...

would have liked a longer session with some accessories but we jammed this one out at 9:30am, snuck out the office for a quick lunch before we had some 11am appts so maybe its for the best. it...

Hey, 165x8 is still strong OHP numbers. What’s your TM now…195-200?👍
-
That is some serious difference and technically not even a year really.
-
That’s awesome man….dropping 6” in your waist while holding on to muscle is huge. I have always liked the tape measure when cutting. The scales are obviously useful for overall weight loss, but...

dapack replied to the thread Hyde’s Strength Odyssey.Thatbis alot of fat loss with keeping strength if not improve at the same time.

I measured my waist at the navel this morning, around the widest part of the love handle/oblique:down to 37.5-38”. It was ~43.5-44” when I was in the 250s in February. So I’ve lost about half a...

same, never occurred to me to question them until COVID, now I question everything. our neighbors I am convinced do it for political purposes. they got 4 vaccines last month, were sick for the...

Yeah, I mean my office supplies them usually so if I have time I will stop by and take the shot, if not I don't. I have never had a vaccine make me feel bad that I can remember so that wouldn't be...

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.
-
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...

Good to hear you are on the mend!
