@CW, your form looked super clean on those fly presses, especially for a dumbbell exercise that is hybridized at a difficult angle!

@67, it takes a lot of discipline to do big compound lifts on a...

One final homage to pushing for raw strength on the bench for a good while for me... but what a pleasing finale!

These were the heaviest sets of my entire life, two PRs and matched two others.

Is anyone going to stay on here? I am undecided. Unless it's a security concern I don't see the harm in getting a spare means of contacting everyone and then just keeping this log going, but if...

The quality control of this site is pathetic. I had just finished writing a lengthy reply on my phone and it ripped it just to load another screen-encompassing ad and now I have to start over...

Yeah, get well soon.

Squat:
275 x 6, 315 x 5, 365 x 0*

*This was probably a half squat but it was at least decently above parallel. I didn't have someone to check but could tell it...

That's an absurdly high amount of protein! Are you lifting as well?

The macronutrient ratios are ultimately irrelevant, and getting a minimum of protein and fat (approximately 0.7g/lb of protein...

"I avoid lifting heavy because I don't want to get TOO jacked..."

Thanks all for the encouragement on the bench PR!

CW, did you write that plan yourself or did you find it somewhere already? Hope it works out for you well in the long haul. Looks like your son...

OP, it's a good idea to get off of instagram and go back to the basics. For one, it's only going to present you (indeed, as even this example illustrates) the most idealized and idyllic portrayal of...

Thanks man. Already feeling better. :)

Just kind of a trough moment but they're temporary and a natural part of life that I accept. That's a wise mnemonic with the green, too.

Worked up...

Hey guys, I'll come back and properly read everything since my last post later, but great to see everyone's still active on here. Congrats again on your wedding Camarija, looking sharp and looks like...

@Camarija, yes I'm really glad he's going with me and getting serious again! Does your dad still run? That's pretty impressive.

My trap was definitely pulled from the last workout and it hurt...

@CW, your posts in these logs have been an encouragement to me, and your disciplined consistency is something very apparent which I often lack. It seems like you've made enormous strides of progress...

Yeah, I'm sorry man, that sucks about the terrible communication. Hope all of that blows over and clears up soon.

@SJT, thanks, I think it was just an anomaly because today was fine. This week has been a busy one, however. Also, strong work lately (you and everyone else)!

Today:

Conventional Deadlift...

I had to work basically all day today and just got done for a total of over 12 hours. I only took a break to lift and eat dinner. It was challenging work too and I got a lot done but also a lot was...

@SJT, thanks! I will attempt it maybe this week, or next, failing that.
