If you don't mind me asking, do you remember how much rest you'd typically need between press singles? One of the reasons why I decided to...

Here's a bit of a late-night entry. My husband is out of town for work until tomorrow and this seemed like great timing for a girls' night with my...

Wait until she hits 100lbs. The first 3-digit lift is a huge deal for us ladies.

With that 80lbs deadlift she must be getting pretty excited! I sure am 😁

I have found the podcast I was referring to. The Baker Barbell Podcast, episode 6, Barbell training for athletes. Here's the Spotify link:...

In a recent podcast, I heard Andy Baker say that he uses box squats with beginners who struggle with technique. He also discusses this at the end of...

Thanks for the press tip, and congratulations for your œil de lynx!

Intensity press 91 X 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3 I'm very happy with how this played out. The warm-up sets were heavy, with 45lbs "feeling" like 65. Early...

Before my coaching experiment, I was cycling my volume squat over a three-week period like this: Week 1: 5r x 3s Week 2: 5r x 4s Week 3: 5r x 5s...

Why not get high-density orthotics?

Another light day of training joy. Front squat 127.5 X 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 The nice thing about front squats is that they are very easy to recover...

When I notice that I don't eat enough, I turn to LOLFMAD: one litre of low-fat milk a day.

You're absolutely right, and my arms and shoulders agree with you as well. Those were basically trials sessions to identify my next 5 X 3 and 5 X 5...

I was trying to find a way to say exactly this but couldn't articulate it properly. Thank you. I dislike the bench and find it boring AF but have...

Today was the heaviest day of my tentative program. Squat 217.5 X 3, 1 My PR was 2 triples at that weight on 20 March, but my form was pretty...

Zero interest in competing in any capacity, haha! My guess is that 136 will be smoother next week! It had been 6 weeks since I had lifted anything...

She's doing very well with her upper-body lifts! I'm pretty sure I started both at 20lbs when I did my first SL 5X5 run back in 2010, at age 28. ...

Second light day of my HLML trial, with a twist to make bench day less boring. Under different circumstances, I would probably have taken today...

Thanks, Bill! So what I have in mind for my next program is a mix of TM, HLM, 4-day split. For the bench and the press, I would go back to...

100% agree, but I guess it can work with a certain crowd. On the bright side, this has improved my form. Lots of practice! I want a 2 X BW...

I haven't read it cover to cover but have gone over the programming section.

Bench day (April 30th) Bench 130 X 4, 4 (target was one set of 7+ reps) 120 X 5, 5, 5 DE press 62.5 X 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 Deadlift day (May 2nd)

Niiice. The Bella bar is so much easier to hold on to during the deadlift. What a wonderful gift! She's a lucky lady.

Wine time!

Not yet... I have another final exam scheduled tonight from 1900 to 2200. Last one this semester.

That aftermath of that deadlift workout was quite brutal. By the time press day came around, I was still sluggish and contending with lower-back...

Bench day (April 28) Bench 142 X 1, 1 138 X 1 135 X 3 130 X 4, 4 Obviously this wasn't the plan. I was supposed to do 142 X 4 and 128 X 4 X...

Thanks, Mr. Bingley! I've gained another 2 lbs lately, probably due to the "novelty" effect of this program. So I guess I have to shoot for a 250...

Neither fat nor that fat. You look comfortable.
