You need to be eating MINIMUM 250 grams of protein. 200 grams is a bad day.

You are not doing these from the floor. From the position of your back it doesn't seem like you would be deadlifting from an abnormal position if you...

You do not need to add rack pulls at a 160kg deadlift

10 kg isn't *abysmally* close. It should probably be further apart but the numbers alone don't raise any questions. Why are you doing two sets of...

I am assuming he just means actually being in that position. He is not (I hope to God) loading that position. But even without load, yeah, that'll...

I swear to God--

Having a short torso is in fact a pretty decent ADVANTAGE on the deadlift. Your hips are closer to the bar, the moment arm between the shoulders and...

You were noticeably sore, it started getting better immediately, so you took three days off of training? This isn't an injury. You didn't get...

As described in the book, whatever your light pressing work in the three day split was (example given is 80-90% of your volume work). This is a...

My experience/thinking is that "less efficient" exercises like the presses benefit more from reducing the reps while keeping the weight heavy, while...

Seriously, this does sound like an actual endocrine problem. 59 is pretty low, especially when there's no intense exercise (at least, it doesn't...

The amount of training required to appreciably depress your immune system is almost certainly more than the amount of training needed to produce a...

Missing a rep on an intensity day press is not really an actual piece of data. You can repeat 237 if you want, but if you can get 237x5 next week you...

When I said no room for error on diet, I meant you have to eat a LOT. It does have to be cleaner than it would if you were sleeping. But do not...

In my experience, one set of squats a week is usually not quite enough volume. The intensity day stress is a "medium" level stress. But it's not a...

The lack of sleep is going to show up as a reason you get stuck. So when you fail a lift, that's the reason. You will be able to run it to a point....

I mean, you never tried to build up work capacity after you could squat 190lg. Three days isn't enough to ruin the organism you built and if it did,...

These do look significantly better. It wasn't there that day: it happens on the press. Your timing it a bit better but still not quite "throwing"...

What medications are you taking that could cause low blood glucose?

Tell your family to fuck off. I'm (mostly) kidding. Try to find any little bits and pieces of sleep you can: naps count. Make sure to sleep in on...

This doesn't have enough pressing volume: pressing once and benching once is probably not going to be enough. Most people find they need to add press...

It's probably not going to take you a month. It's a transient effect of the sickness that'll go away as you eat and recover. If you ran a mile after...

They do other things for pulling volume. Eddie Hall talks about doing speed deadlifts on "off weeks" in the run up to the 500 kg pull.

This.occasionally happens to me. It goes and comes mysteriously. If there's any correlation it usually pops up when I need to examine heavy pulling...

As part of the "squeeze your chest up/set your back", you are dropping your hips. It looks like you're combining steps 3 and 4. Do these separately....

The capacity that the human body has to adapt to stressors in its environment is indeed great, but it is not unlimited, and it is certainly not free....

The thing about the 45 degree leg press is that it sacrifices a much larger footprint for higher absolute loading potential. However, even for the 45...

Just add weight to both each time. Reset every now and then when it creeps too far outside that range. A good rule of thumb is to just repeat the...

You want to keep volume the same as much as possible: otherwise you run the risk of digging yourself a "hole" if you fail repeatedly. If you can only...
