[psychodiver9]

Lower weight and more PR's? Begs incoming

[Mitch666]

Well more like finally getting weight back down to where it was haha.

[Mitch666]

Did a ton of mashing stretching etc lastnight and felt way less jacked up today.

Today did 45 minutes of MISS, aaaandddd bodyweight down to 217!!! das it mane


I've been eating 3200-3600 calories the last few days but am dropping weight like crazy, maybe I was actually eating too little before, also had a pretty big increase in walking with school starting and could be waterweight too. Probably a combo of all 3 but I'll take it.

Snapped this today, obviously no pump since I did just cardio. Really liking how I look except for the water/bloat/fat around my lover handles and low back.

[NorthStrong]

That happens to me sometime. Especially wth deads and squats that set 3-5 are easier than 1-2

Yea it's weird its been happening pretty frequently lately. The only answer for deads is back to yolo rep maxes lol.

[SmallLats]

I always have that man. I think its just my body needs to get used to handling that particular weight on that day. Also sometimes im just not mentally ready for the weight and then after the first set I get hyped and its easier.

hopefully i don't end up as some sort of volume jesus like you

[SmallLats]

volume definitely helps though. Even you man. I feel like if you actually did volume work for 3-4 months you'd come back and pull over 6 ez.

I just pulled 4 weeks of volume (for me) on a ****ty stiff bar deadstop reps. Today I'm gonna see how that carries over to my yolo tng maxes. Gonna take 500xamrap

[FenderElectrics]

re: sets getting easier after first one...that happens to me all the time too. Also a lot of times my first rep is chit and all the ones after are easy especially with squats. My best ever squat set was 315x10ish (maybe 11? been so long since I've PRed squat) and I remember my first rep sucked and I thought I was gonna hit like 3 reps after it but it just kept getting easier

wow, haven't really had that happen to me within a set (although now maybe i'll pay more attention to that) but for sure with multiple sets. I think thats why sheiko has you hit 2+ sets at alot of the warmup weights.


Also ate a bacon cheeseburger pizza and a pint of snickers ice cream last night, time to smash some deads today

[Mitch666]

500x4 @10, PR, have done this for 3 reps in the past on the dlt/rubish stack, pretty damn happy to beat it now then if u know what i'm sayin
pulling on this somewhat flexy bar felt awesome and strong as fuk, I just seem to have forgot how to pull touch and go lol, the first 3 reps were tng then did the last deadstop. Hopefully i get back in the touch and go groove.

Bodyweight 218, looking leaner by the day feelsgoodman. Felt strong as ****, probably could have gotten 5 reps if I'd been used to touch and go. But still, das it mane.

yeah I think it's from misgrooving the first rep way more often than I should. Thinking about it it's a pretty huge flaw considering meets are only 1 rep should probably fix that lol

[CupcakeSquats]

Way to kill it in the gym drunken *******, good work.

Bodyweight 219, which a "monday low", after weekend drinking/eating. So on one hand I'm really glad I could get in a good position benching again, it's been a rough few weeks. But I am feeling pretty run down, nothing is certain yet but I will finish this week as normal and then likely do a true deload next week, I really haven't done that in a long ass time.

God damn nice squat PR. You hit 405 raw yet?

[Mitch666]

God damn nice squat PR. You hit 405 raw yet?

No I really think on a good day I'd have it, just have been feeling beat up and not really "on" squatting the last 2 weeks, and today's warmups were no different. So I didn't want to go for it, get stapled, pissed off, and then have a ****ty day lol.

I think it'll be awhile before I hit it, but when I do it'll be a smokeshow. Don't feel like trying to grind it out right now.

[SmallLats]

gj on PR. but budreiser volume way less than that.
