Glad to help, Mike. First off, doing 20 might be what's doing you in right now (volume is not our friend, for those of us in our sixth decade )....

Sometimes it's like that. There's a saying floating around here, a reminder, that "the first set is a lie," meaning that the first set, especially...

Nope. The presses do not respond to running them out like a squat would. You might progress for a session or two, but then you'll regress pretty...

Music. It's the spice of life, that's for sure.

Nice work. Walk outs seem like a good idea. I was doing a power rack " partials " program awhile ago. I may do it again.

Nice work. I have been feeling something too, not sure if it a cold or allergies.

Excellent! Those life events happen, sometimes longer than we expect. They key is, if you can't maintain during the event, to get back on the wagon...

Thanks Mike. I missed that one. re: deadlifts - that's the beauty of the heavy pull, being able to have a longer break between sessions and still...

Yep, that's the tough part about the corporate medical industry. My PCM is still part of a privately owned clinic, and as much as they drive me nuts...

Good to see your training is going well. I'm still training. Doing things a little different, higher reps, one or two sets and short rest. Hope...

It happens, Mike. Don't dwell on it too much. It seems like a recovery issue, since all four sets were short. The First Three Questions is always...

That is the magic answer to your situation. But the reality is that it's not only your situation. It's many of us. Dig through the archives of the...

Something's not adding up here, Caleb, which is probably a large part of the harsher responses that you're getting here. On April 30, you posted...

Yep, that was sad news this morning. But that meant that the entire workout's soundtrack was Smiths tunes. Can't go wrong with that. Keep at it,...

Excellent! Strong work, carson.

Thanks Fred. The number is definitely getting bigger. But the nice thing is that even though I thought about this number, I had no doubt that it...

Sled pulls aren't BS. They work the muscles in a different way, that allows you to do the work more frequently.

Nice to hear this. Your lifts are doing great.

Now that is some fantastic news! You two are clearly doing something right. Congratulations!
