I can send you some to try if you wanted to try before you buy. Helps with pumps too. Many other benefits. Send me a PM if you want me to send some.

Have you ever taken Amento XT? Acute strength increase. One of my all time favorites.

voltaren is awesome for my foot/heel. That’s the only place I have ever used it. And I only use it on days where I will be running around like coaching FB or hiking.

I have also had it on heavy deadlifts. But only my left side and lower pec region. Never had my upper pec. Hopefully it’s like unlocking super saiyan powers and my upper chest will grow so it doesn’t look like I have man boobs ha

I finished the first book of The Witcher Series. It was good but could be hard to follow at times. Currently just reading peer reviewed articles for my masters. Not fun haha

RDL at 315 dang that’s nuts. I agree about high rep deadlifts. You just feel tougher afterwards. I think it was an article from Tnation but I did Deadlifted EMOTM for 30 minutes at 275x1. It wasn’t super hard at the time but it dragged on and got heavy. May have to go back and try to find the...

my plan is to drop my weight first. Try to keep as much strength as possible. Then bulk up and hopefully regain the strength back. Highly doubt I will reach my all my goals but it is giving me something to reach for. Goals before turning 40: Goal 1: Weigh 199lbs Goal 2: Deadlift 500. Goal 3...

That did look like a solid session. I can’t get the slingshot out of my mind! Haha and now rack pulls. I was also planning on an epiandro run as well from Oct-Dec to try to hit my goals.

Thanks for the link. I may have to get one for fun! Full range with some having a very small bounce or just barely touching chest. I was pretty excited but it’s been downhill since haha

what’s this slingshot? my highest ever was 225x20 when I was like 32, but I could barely benched 320. I did 220x8 last week but the week before I had a hard time with 265x1. It’s a slow build that’s for sure.

3-5 rm calculations are closeish in my experience but the more reps I can do, definitely doesn’t mean the heavier I can lift. I like to use them as PR records though with my 5/3/1 calculations just to show me that I am improving or working hard enough.

I may have to try this haha. Or at least pay more attention for when I do take it PWO and get lucky later that night!

100% agree on all of this. One of my favorites. I ran out a couple weeks ago and been hurting. More should be arriving before my next heavy lifting session at the end of the week.
