5/23/2022 Weigh-In: 294.6 pounds Bench 257.5x2x3 Press 138x5x5 Another banger of a workout. Felt like I could've done at least 260 on the...

Actually it is. Bodybuilders like to get as big as possible and try to maximize both. But the size you get from strength increases outstrips the size...

Because the people he debates here are stand-ins for the voices in his head that are telling him this is all wrong?

5/20/2022 Deadlift 405x5 Squat 270x5x4 Deadlift was pretty hard. Think I'll go ahead and move to a triple next week. Squats were also hard,...

I can't even express how angry this makes me without risking being imprisoned.

5/19/2022 Press 163x2x3 Bench 210x5x5 A rare good day today. Felt like I could've pressed these for triples. Bench was just peachy too. I wish...

5/17/2022 Squat 315x5 Power Clean 142x3x3 Pulldown 232.5x5x3 Close to where I was before hurting my back on the squat. It was a hard grind,...

I think they might be interested in extending theirs/their masters'. But that's about it.

Probably not. The only difference is this time I didn't bother to try and justify my not giving a shit. I just don't. Also, I couldn't bench 255 for...

5/16/2022 Weigh-In: 292.6 pounds Bench 255x2x3 Press 137x5x5 Bench got a teensy bit grindy on that last set, but I think there's still more...

After hanging out with my friend and his new girlfriend two days ago, I found out she tested positive for COVID yesterday. I said "OK" and I have...

5/13/2022 Deadlift 395x5 Squat 265x5x4 Good deadlift. Hard, but I got it done. Probably had another rep in me. I think I'll jump to 405 next...

Thank you, that was actually very informative. I'll talk about this stuff with my endocrinologist. It took me a bit of hunting to find one that...

5/12/2022 Press 162x2x3 Bench 207.5x5x5 That last double was pretty hard, but I got it up. Bench was pretty easy. Felt like weight, but I...

Did you touch at all on going off TRT for fertility reasons and how that goes? One of the main turn-offs to TRT for me has been that I don't want to...

5/10/2022 Squat 310x5 Power Clean 140x3x3 Pulldown 230x5x3 Squats were hard, but I pulled them off. Power cleans also got pretty tough. I...

Jesus, he went in there with a 185 ng/dl result and the doctor accused him of abusing steroids? People like this should be shot.

5/9/2022 Weigh-in: 291.2 pounds Bench 252.5x2x3 Press 136x5x5 Back on the grind today. Press oddly felt better after the first set or two,...

The only time I've ever had the hook grip start to fail on me was when I foolishly tried to do it without chalk. I can't speak for everyone, but I...

Trump is the only president we've had in a very long time who's even signaled willingness to pull us out of bad international agreements. He halted...

5/6/2022 DE Deadlift 295x1x10 Squat 265x3x3 DE deadlifts feel awful slow for me, even slower than the squats did. Squats today felt fine. I'm...

I don't think we can, other than by straight noncompliance. Maybe we can hope for another Trump or Trump-like figure with the stones to pull us out...

I'm probably on the left side of the genetic bell curve, but I still intend to hit 500.

One of the things I worry about most is that Republicans are going to feel so secure from the Biden administration's godawful performance, that they...

5/4/2022 DE Press 105x3x10 Bench 215x3x4 Bench felt kinda hard still. I guess I really needed this break.

There used to be a place by me as a kid called "Aging Alternatives". One day I was riding in the car with my Grandpa, and seeing the sign for the...

I wasn't talking about me. There are an impressive number of people in this country whose chief hobby is being prepared for everything to go to hell....

I wish people were even THAT smart that this would affect their decision making. I don't have that kind of faith in humanity anymore. Abortion is a...

5/3/2022 DE Squat 205x2x10 Power Clean 140x2x2 Pulldown 227.5x5x3 DE squats sure were an experience, especially in a poorly cooled gym. I...

A lot of would-be lynch mobs are going to disappear into the wilderness and never come back in that case. I suspect the "leak" is a ploy to...
