Strength was all over the place today. Poverty squats, but then I figured out my bench after all these years... I just needed to drive my knees out as hard as possible!

Did a bunch of meditation tonight with a friend and my other friend who is taking up shamanism/spirituality and figured a lot of stuff out. Feels good man.

Poverty squats

[snrygo]

I'm serious tho. Strength has been all over the place since last weekend... Finally gotten my nutrition back on track over the last couple days so it should get back to norm soon

[chichinnn]

Jelly of your progress. Keep it up Matt

honestly lifting makes no sense to me anymore. My accessory work is going up and even my damn bench is moving but my back off sets are getting raped. On top of that I'm no longer anxious about any given weight (I'm looking at you, 3pps) but i still get random sessions where it doesn't move.

Whatever, with my cals going back up maybe this **** will become sensical again.

BW this morning was 154 and cals at 3500 today. Going up 100 every few days.

Wtf. I mean i know this has been questioned to death but how the hell could you possibly squat as much as you do and not be able to murder a 3 plate deadlift in your sleep?


also, eat more calories *******. I'm actually consuming more than you for a change.



<3


But seriously though, those squats are making me jelly, especially the weight you're able to handle beltless. I'm sure you'll get your pulling back to normal soon. Something will click and before you know it you'll have a 500lb DL, at which point I will quit.

See that's not the issue. I've slayed 275x15 not tng, pulled 315x5 @8 it's just so inconsistent is what eats me. And squats are the same as of late but moreso with back off sets. I feel almost as though I should just run a bunch I heavy singles/doubles with set weights for a bit in pulls so that I don't have an option of letting my brain block me because I NEED to do what's on the sheet.

Eh, it'll all come in time I suppose haha.

[Balddude]

Not sure if this might help you, but when I approach the bar for a deadlift/squat/bench/OHP/whatever, I always try to imagine that it is an empty bar regardless of how much weight is put on. By doing so, I try and psychologically tell myself that I will definitely get the weight up for a rep. It's a mental cue which has worked out well at times for me, learned it from some PLer who I can't seem to remember now.

Anyways glad to see you logging and training frequently again man.

Dis x100000.

That meditation should seriously help. The mind is more powerful than most give it credit for .

[ErickStevens]

I have some ideas for your deadlift. It will come in around, just give it time...

Feeling decent. Strength was alright today I suppose. Bench was garbage tho. Squats felt on point.

Did 1.5 hours of qigong yesterday with my friend and felt absolutely amazing afterwards. My chi connection is definitely improving.

I think part of the problem with my strength being all over the place is rooted from the fact that I have only been counting protein and cals since I got released from the hospital a couple weeks ago. I think I'm ready to start tracking a little more precisely.

OP, why do you center everything?

OP, why do you center everything?

2 reasons:
1. i am the center of attention always (this doesnt make me a whore tho)
2. toronto is clearly the center of the universe.

Damn I felt like a god today! 300 beltless was by far the fastest I've ever moved it and with damn good form as well!

Finally got my bench form feeling tight albeit I had a couple reps where my ass came off the bench but it felt spot on otherwise.

I attribute all of this to the trivium bandana I decided to wear today (okay maybe reading the first half of becoming a supple leopard was a contributing factor as well )
