Im reviving this post from the dead. Shortly after the meet I had been getting ready for, I took what I thought would be a short break, which turned into a few months, then a few years. For the last maybe 2 years Ive been back in the gym, and the last year semi-seriously. One of my friends who...

So Ive tried to find some answers, or examples on this and havent really come up with much. My cycles thus far have been only test and orals. I am now expanding into some other injectables and the timing has me off a bit. For the last 4 weeks Ive been using Test E 250 EOD. Last 2 weeks 25mg...

I have been slacking a bit. the last 2 weeks I had my head up my ass. Both training days I worked up to 545 and missed it. Ill fill in last week but it looked a lot like the week before so Im not going to go crazy with 2 weeks ago. barx10 135x10 225x5 275x2 315x1 365x1 4 board 405x1 4 board got...

Raw max is around 350-365, shirt max is probably 550-565

Good day today. Did reverse bands. Green bands from the rack. 225x10 315x5 405x3 455x2 495 needed a touch from the bottom and pressed it. 495 again, stalled then pressed it through. Floor press 225x3 Added 2 20lb chains per side 225x3 275x1

Last week was a "deload" week for me. Or supposed to be anyway. I lifted in a charity event and ended up benching 350. Figured it wasnt really worth posting. I was however back in today for what turned out to be a great session. warm up barx10 135x5 225x3 275x3 315x1 365x1 3 board 405x1 4...

Got back in last night to get some work in after having to cut it short sunday. 135x10 225x5 275x2 315x2 335x2 355x1 just needed a touch at my sticking point, about a 3 board 405x1 4 board 460x3 in shirt, just working it down 495x1 did not touch. Shut it down. pretty beat up, but a good day none...

July isn't cancelled, the location got moved. To my friends place actually so were good. I don't think ill get 600, but I hope I at least get damn close. I can say that my raw strength is up a lot and I keep hitting Pr's so I'm pretty confident in something good happening. Wendlers 5/3/1 is a...

I have had some things going on and training has been a little messed up, benched today raw after missing sunday. barx10 135x10 225x5 275x3 315x2 325x2 340x1 355 just needed a touch of help at my 2 board sticking point 405x1 3 board. did rolling tricep extensions and pressdowns after this.

What is your actual goal for doing this type of training? You should also work up to a max to establish your percentages, doesn't have to be a single but no more than a triple. How many times a week do you plan on benching? Twice like a westside split or just one max effort?

Not directly, but I know all of the guys, they come to train with us every once in a while.

My friend and training partner gave me a new routine. Im going to put it here for reference for myself also of the next 12 weeks leading up to the meet. A training session with triples in the shirt should be as follows; Week 1: deload Week 2: 440 x 3 Week 3: 460 x 3 Week 4: deload Week 5: 480 x...

below parallel is actually better for the knee. I stole this from somewhere else "when you stop at parralel the pressure holding you up is centered on your knees, which is why powerlifters etc. will wear knee wraps almost always. squatting below parallel (ATG preferably) transfers the pressure...

Had a good day today, got to see one of my old training partners who is a fantastic coach and helped me a lot today. I was having a hard time touching so we revamped my routine today and got down to a 1 board with reasonable weight so Im very happy barx10 225x5 275x3 315x1 365x1 3 board 405x1 4...
