My wife and I manage just fine with a StrengthCo General rack (similar dimensions) pushed up against the wall. We just make sure that we're doing...

Nice work Mark.

I always recommend Dan Miller's microplates. He advertises them in the equipment forum here. You might want to email him first, but it seems like he...

Programming issue. Doing 83% sets across as your extra light press is good. Just not the day immediately prior to your main work Press. If anything,...

It's great to read the words and get the feeling and explanation behind the red blocks on the screen yesterday, which tell nothing other than...

I almost think that's just the new Texas bar feel. I remember when I first used my Texas Power Bar back in 2020, I thought it felt like a cheese...

A new piece in the gym sure keeps the interest up.

Knock it out of the park, BD!

Nice work! How are you doing the chins. I did get 1 recently, I want to try and get a pull up someday.

Hope back is OK. Slipping on ice sure can be dangerous.

In that case, post videos to the Technique forum. Perhaps most important, do unlike everyone else and read the guidelines for videos before you post....

Thanks Fred. Two plates @ 5x3 next week!

I've been mulling this over, trying to think of a way to productively respond. But I'm still a relative newbie, having done this only a few years,...

Still kicking ass.

Honestly, those are fantastic starting numbers. They mean that you read the book, unlike many of us who didn't when we started, for whatever reason,...

That's the way to do it, Ryan! In the grand scheme of things, the reason why you're doing this lifting (lifestyle), cranking out those cleans was...

Yep, it's very effective at dumping inches. In the weeks before I had my rack, bar, and plates delivered, IF and my exercising got me down to my...

Good luck in the new job. This sure is a crazy time in the US. I hope the voters smarten up.

That makes me think back to when I was a teen there and learning to surf. It was those days that we'd be out in the water anyway, trying to catch...

That's the best! It reminds you that you put the work it while also reminding you that you haven't worked enough. Hopefully it's mellow today.

You've got nothing to lose by trying! Spreading the lifts out over the 4/5 days is a huge boost, too. Even with significant PRs in each of the...

Apparently it had been down to 5°, but had warmed up. I don't know, I was snug as a bug in bed. Thanks J. This is your year!
