Will have to defer till spring, no biggie! Now I can focus on eating and lifting without cutting weight.

So the deload went great.

Eh, I don't think you can use a X12 to predict single, double, triple performance.

A lot of strength in the low rep ranges is neurological adaption. I think you can use a double/triple to predict...

Race Weekend Recap

The weekend was great, skipped Saturday's lift according to plan to ensure I didn't have any muscle fatigue for the race.

I ended up with a 20:00 overall PR, last years time...

On bench this past week for example before doing 235x4x4 I did

45 x 15
95 x 12
135 x 8
185 x 5
215 x 2

I would agree, I never make jumps of more than 40-50lbs on most lifts, especially bench. Get 175-185 up for a few, 200 will feel a LOT easier properly warmed up.

Probably not.



NO hate here dude!

Same here! I was in management for 4 1/2 years. It sucked. Always on call, even on vacation.

Now as an individual contributor I can check out at 5 PM and pick back up in the morning at 8 Am when...

Over the years my max lifts on the big three have been as follows

335 x 1 Bench (touch and go, no pause but no bounce either)

I know Alex well, I used to be very active/moderate over on wannabebig.com years ago. He used to hang out there all the time, now it's just through FB.

I'm pretty excited to see how PL and...

Hey man, I don't think there is anything wrong with a well paying/good benefits gig like that. The hospitality/services industry is very lucrative. You will be just fine, keep networking and banking...
