C6W Week 6 - Max Attempts

Wednesday: Deadlift

Another successful run of this program! Greatly improved my squat once again, modestly improved my deadlift (woohoo! made it to the...

I haven't been able to put my seatbelt on with one hand for a few years now, and I weigh about the same as you over half a foot taller. Without pics or anything like your strength level it would be...

I'm surprised that you mention Sowell, OP. Didn't think he was particularly influential outside of conservative intellectual circles in the US.

Completely agree with Suffolk, but will add that I...

This is a completely serious response, but I think this is mostly a matter of getting stronger. I felt the same way for a long time, but by the time I was pressing 225 for reps, I started to notice...

My personal take is that this follows something of an 80/20 rule. The good majority of the time, full range of motion work should be primary and confers the most benefit, but for isometry and also...

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. It probably was at least a little high (though, looking at the vertical distance in 2D between the safety racks, which are parallel, the perception is still...

Connecticut for me

Hope you heal up quick BG, and thanks for the encouragement on the deadlift SJT and Filmbuff. Looking forward to the attempt.

C6W Week 6 - Max Attempts

Monday: Squat + Bench

...

Those are some very impressive numbers!

It took me a long time to learn how to engage my legs properly in the conventional, and I too would always default to a straight-legged pull, so as far as...

04/18/22: 239.0 & 38.5"
04/25/22: 243.2 & 38.25" (+4.2 & -0.25")
05/02/22: 242.7 & 38.5" (-0.5 & +0.25")
05/09/22: 246.3 & 38.75" (+3.6 & +0.25")
05/16/22: 245.4 & 39.5" (-0.9 & +0.75")...

I'm not disagreeing with your point about how the name of God is invoked superficially amid what is unfathomably complex and vast, but if our brain is incapable of meaningfully asking these...

I don't have any kind of specific target but probably end up drinking half a gallon a day, or so. Usually I drink all or most of it in one instance.

Thanks guys - the lift felt great. Can't wait to attempt 505 next week.

Glad you're feeling more refreshed SJT.

You guys are both at a higher level than me, but I've also been surprised that...

Honestly, I typically do. I'm not trying to be pedantic or anything, and were I trying to signal some kind of superiority in this way, wouldn't admit in my answer that I spent more time reading when...

Yeah, I don't know how much of it has to do with compensation for obesity (though I'm not denying that trend, as far as it goes), but I do think most of this is a simple function of living in the...

What would you personally define as healthy and balanced, given the various physique and fitness goals out there? It seems that that would entail avoiding either of conspicuous extremes which satisfy...

There is to my mind a clear, meaningful difference between a mere superfluous use of pedantic verbosity to signal some kind of elitism, on the one hand, and an actual fine edge of meaning achievable...

C6W Week 5 - High Intensity Strength

Friday, 3/3

Deadlift:
1 x 1-4 at 465 (4 achieved @10) PR!

Optional exercises omitted

--

It's easier than the free barbell, has several failsafes along its path and requires no stabilization. Depending on your circumstance and goals, that can be a good or bad thing.

Cool, glad my banter isn't exclusively annoying lol. I'm in the company of doctors, PhDs and career professionals here, of which I am none, however.
