Definitely much more comfortable.
I have been using SBDs (7mm) for the past 18 months but my thighs are bigger and I can't pull em all the way up any more. Going to try a pair of the new Inzer...

I got that ;P
I'm in. You know me by know - brutal = fun :)
I did some very short one arm planks monday but my shoulders were a bit sore so I didn't hold them long. I might try for 30 sec holds...

Fair enough.

With the weights I'm hitting I don't do my main sets outside a rack. But for example I often do SSB lifts outside a rack usually under 225.


Wild huh? I occasionally go sleeveless which is good...

you love to see it! 'Welcome back'! :)

Monday, May 23 squat day
Rolling in with a good powerlifting sequence with 3x4s... probably a PR at that weight not sure. BUT, it felt great at that weight - I really felt like my stance/form is...

Good to see you Brother thanks for the kind words!

Source? I don't usually challenge a poster but I'm genuinely interested. I haven't seen anything on this in the literature I've reviewed. Most find animal proteins superior gram for gram in muscle...

Good work!



Looking good!

Hit some solid squats yesterday; best sets (3x4) at 424 yet! Depth looks so much better than a few months back, really happy with my stance and staying upright,...

Had to go light, today is my actual squat day :)

Thanks good info!

Friday, May 20 deadlift day
Felt much less tight, able to really dig in my hand grip.
Started with a nice heavy lift, then some good reps.

Competition deads: 455/495/535
Comp deads: 3x6 @ 441...

If you are doing 8 reps you are in a hypertrophy phase - you are not really training for powerlifting (which is exactly where I'm at right now).
You can choose based on RPE - rating of perceived...

He was suggesting their obeisity leads to increased mortality.
To MTP's comment - exercise can counteract the deleterious effects of obeisity, but being fat is still bad for you; those centenarians...

Makes sense.
I did get the comment that it looked like I'd used PEDs on one of my videos recently. I chose to focus on the positive, but just like folks saying I'm so strong due to genetics does...

Glad you had fun Corbi!
It's a ways out but I'm planning to head to St Louis in November for IPL tested worlds. My wife might come along and we might stay a week. Thoughts on what to do there? I...

Also IKR, I never thought 535 would be a warmup! :P
