Now I'm thinking about integrating both pause squats and benches in my program, but I'm trying to figure what to take out. I think it will be good to build bottom strength. Damn deload weeks - I'm...

I'm not doing the challenge, but I have been adding in some ultra high rep work after my assistance in 5/3/1. Figure it can't hurt anything and should give me some size.

It's my deload, so naturally I've been toying with making some changes. I've pondered doing 5/3/1 for PL for my bench and press, only because even when I reset and the weight is relatively light, I...

Currently running Simplest Strength template for squat, deadlifts, and bench, using SLDL, SSB front squats, and dips, respectively. For press, I'm doing BBB with the hex bar press. I started doing...

Wow, I tried the 100 rep curls with a 45lb bar. Hilariously, I didn't even get close. I got 40 and I had the mother of all pumps. I'll keep at it.

I'm not doing the challenge, but I'm definitely interested in throwing some movements in at the end for ultra high reps if for no other reason than hypertrophy. I'm thinking DB laterals on Monday,...

I do power cleans as the first movement on deadlift day. It serves as a fantastic warmup and primer for deads

Yes, I mean wooden blocks under the metal ones in order to dampen the sound. I'm sure wood grinding against concrete isn't as bad as metal; that, and it would serve to be easy to replace should you...

I use power cleans prior to deadlifting on deadlift day using the 5/3/1 rep scheme. This is more inline with a small assistance role, as I view power cleans as a major lift.

I'm running 5/3/1 and currently supplementing it with the simplest strength template. On Squat day, I've been doing SLDL's as well as 3x12 SSB GM's. I was thinking about making a heavy medicine ball...

I was thinking about getting the SKLZ sled from Dick's Sporting Goods. Has anyone drilled into the skiis and bolted them to wood?

I don't. I've tried in the past and hit the buckle, causing me to miss and subsequently get pissed off.

After trying it out yesterday for 5/3/1 squat day, I'm sold. I love it. I'm going to keep with it through several resets and see what is has done to my straight bar squat. At least I'll be able to...

I'm trying out using the safety squat bar for not only squat assistance, but for the main lift. I want to see if it does anything for my deadlift. Bonus points if it helps my straight bar squat as...

I have my gym in my garage and have enough space with everything, including a double end and heavy bag. I'll admit, the GHR does take up a decent amount of room, but I got it for a low price and the...

Agreed. I got it on sale, but with shipping it came to $430. You tell any non-lifters how much it costs and you'll get denigrated, but I know I'll have it forever and I've heard nothing but good...

Well I pulled the trigger. I bought an EliteFTS yoke bar and luckily found a GHD on Craigslist for relatively cheap. The only downside is that it has front roller pads instead of a split pad design,...

After searching Craigslist for a while trying to find the pieces to complete my gym, I found a guy with a Promaxima PL-205 GHD for $300. I've never used one before, so I figured I might as well take...

It's a sharp pain in my shoulder capsule. This is definitely not DOMS. It's been going on for a few weeks now
