OHP48 x2x1 x3x4 DL (abort) Crap performance. Learned that I can't deadlift shortly after a meal. Have to make time for a catch-up session. I'm...

Thanks Adrian! The best time to fix my squat would have been months ago. The second best time... I found this very interesting tutorial on...

Have you already written about your programming and why you use 1x5? I am curious. Congrats on the impressive numbers.

Congratulations on completing your LP man! How are you going to celebrate?

Congratulations on the 100kg squat! The favorite psychological tip that I picked up on this forum for when squats get scary is: I'll look back and...

Hey great work you are doing Safes! It's interesting to compare our progress since we started at about the same time. Overall PRs are almost...

I'm stepping gingerly back from the YNDTP ledge and crawling back to The Program with my tail between my legs. I seem to have a small existential...

Revised 2023 goals: "Cat3" strength on all lifts but at 75kg/165lb bodyweight (i.e. lose 5kg/11lb the recently gained 13kg/30lb.) If we...

I realize that I'm dabbling in magic that I don't understand but here's a draft attempt at programming to - maintain squat/deadlift and improve...

I have made some new goals for 2023 to drive my programming: - "Cat3" level for all lifts in equal propotion. - Improve form on all lifts. -...

Seems like I need more practice at deadlifting. How about making Friday a "light deadlift" say with 2x5@90%? Is that going too far off the...

SQ107.5x5x3 BP69.5x5x3 I tried a chalk substitute called "Eco Ball" that's non-marking and non-magnesium. Felt good on the bench press where my...

Yeah. I'm actually going to take a break from basketball while I run my NLP. It's a pity but worth it if that's the price of running it smoothly. ...

Thanks for the multiple reality checks, Bill. I'll try deadlifting twice per week and see if that gets my LP back on the rails. I'm super happy...

Good point. I will make a video. I am not confident of my form and that is tempering my enthusiasm for attempting heroics. I tweaked my back once and...

How come my deadlift is struggling? I'm all clear on the three questions: I'm waiting a full ten minutes between sets, adding a modest 2.5kg each...
