It's a good time to read Raghavan's The White Noise of Heavy. Great work. Keep at it!

Good progress, Yeshua. Keep at it!

They looked just fine. Even the mis-groove on set 5. I read yesterday on either Baker's or Sully's blog that you have to visualize breaking thick...

Holy cow! o.O

Great news! Carry on.

Yep, it's not always going to feel great, especially as it gets heavy. You're not there yet, but this is great training and prep work for when it...

That is fantastic news! Congratulations!!!!

Nice work. Sure would kill me!

Thanks, Bill. As this maintenance season ends, that's an artificially suppressed number. I've found that when my squat and deadlift get close, it...

The last one being a grind isn't a bad thing, nor is it necessarily a sign of things to come. Sometimes it will just be like that. Keep grinding them...

You'll make the most progress at this stage if you just stick to the program. At your age, these weights are too early for you to be modifying...

It, or a semblance of it, has been my go-to for the past few summers. It works. The trick for me, however, is figuring out how to balance the...

Great tip about 5A, Bill. I'm at the end of my normal winter maintenance schedule and have been trying to figure out which of the two programs (or...

Nice progress. It sure seems like it's getting hot fast in your area.

While not competition qualifying, you got them done. Sometimes it will be like that, especially when pushing limit sets. Brava! Enjoy that...

Sorry to hear this Fred.

So sorry to hear this, Fred. As you know, around these parts there's a whole bunch of folks supporting you through thick and thin. As a dad with a...

That's always the struggle - go heavy and take advantage of the extended recovery while hopefully not hobbling or keep it safer and enjoy the time...

Yep, that hobbling around for days and days while getting stronger seems quite counterproductive. I'm going to play with my thresholds for both once...

Your numbers on the sqt are great. I have in the past done presses with similar weights, but never got too 300 on the sqt.Keep up the great work.

Thanks Mr.B. I sure appreciate the encouragement. I must say it was tough for, used to be easy.
