Still training hard for an upcoming meet on April 28th.

Recent gym PRs include a 500 squat and 585 deadlift. Getting stoked for the meet coming up in a couple months.

Quick bench session yesterday yielded 315x5 easy followed by a 375 2 board. Solid rep PR for me.

Thanks man. It will likely be the first or second Saturday of April.

Well, haven't posted here in a few months but have been training my a$$ off.

Some recent rep PRs running 5/3/1:

Deadlift - 455x10, 1RM calculated 606
Squat 405x8, 1RM calculated 512
Bench...

Wake, eat protein bar or small snack. Workout, shower at gym, eat shake or snack immediately after. Proceed as normal. :) I did this for a couple years, but back to the post-work routine now.

You're not kidding - running blows in general, and outside is even worse, heh.

Keep it up. As for #1 above - start working in a bit of real core work. I noticed as part of your routine you don't have that in there. You should be hitting some core movements 2-3times per week....

I could've sworm the title of this thread is "No excuses" ???? ;)

Mike, you are a straight up animal and a true inspiration to dedicated raw lifters.

Looking forward to seeing you hit that magical 700 squat in the near future. Stay healthy my friend.

BTW -...

Thanks Mike! Just getting started, the work will only get more intense in the coming months. :)



Thank you sir. I felt confident I left a bit in reserves on those two lifts, so I think there...

Count me in. Pulled 565 at an APA meet this past Saturday.

Hello??? Anybody home??

So I'm starting a new 5/3/1 cycle on Monday - going to stick with the following for the next 5 weeks. Planning on running 2 cycles and then testing maxes in the February timeframe - goals will be...

PERFECT! Exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!!!



Thanks man, ridiculous numbers in your sig BTW. Good luck with the 2000.

Awesome journal and really solid numbers! I don't think you'll have any trouble to hitting that 1500 raw total, you're a quite a bit closer than I am! Good luck at your meet dude, not like you'll...

Thanks Dark!

Here are some vids - hopefully my formatting is correct, heh. I forget how to embed on this forum, ugh.

Thank you sir, this was an APA meet. Anyone using the monolift (all squatters in this case) has the option to stay in the rack or walk out.

Hey J - I'm thinking of doing a meet in April out at York barbell if you'd care to join? If you're interested, we could put together a plan about 8-10 weeks out and start working on heavy singles,...

Lots of great ideas in here, thanks a ton everyone. For anyone I've missed I'll rep on recharge. As an added note I do have a ton of video from the meet this past weekend, I'll be analyzing that to...

This is kind of the approach I have been taking over the last year or so. In my case it's not exactly clear where exactly where my weakest points are since I don't miss/fail all that often. With...
