I'm definitely in the same boat for how I deadlift. I've been thinking about ripping off your workouts with regards to deadlifts and then building whatever else I need to do around that. I definitely think I've been doing too much warming up with the bigger lifts. Been playing with reverse...

I don't know how you deadlift that often. How much warming up do you do? I got to try those seated back raises finally. They are a bit awkward at first but once you get the groove going, they are awesome. Good call on raising the bench up.

I'm thinking of giving his routine a whirl over the autumn and winter months. Looks fun.

Interesting. Looks like a reverse pyramid sort of routine. I've always been too wary to do as few warmups as he suggests. Seems like Martin of leangains fame has pushed something similar. Crazy or not, it's definitely worked for him.

Yeah having a wife and kids makes it hard to get into that kind of trouble anymore. Plus its not good for the gains, staying up for 24+ hours doing young adult stuff.

Also not sure how well FFMI applies to outliers. As I've said before, I have a condition that causes unusually dense bones so my frame is actually smaller than someone with a similar amount of overall bone mass. Currently, my FFMI is pretty much at 25 so I shouldn't be able to make more gains...

I'm not really sure what your point is or what you are trying to say. Are you asking a question? Numbers absolutely are important though. How else can you judge your progress? Also, using strength numbers against something like the exrx strength standards charts is very helpful in seeing where...

If only there were some kind of training log where you could see exactly what I've been doing. Hint, the last 2 or 3 pages show recent workouts as well as progress pics and measurements. Still doing HST, with myo reps like I've said.

Just want to say... That video was great. If anyone hasn't watched it, I'd highly recommend it.

I don't think that part matters so much as long as you are getting enough protein overall. But if you decide to give it a shot, only buy a small amount to try out first.

I still advocate progressing load but after personal success with myoreps, I'm sure there is something to what you're talking about. I've seen growth after having scaled load back significantly from what I was using for months/years prior. I'm sure you're already aware of how a regular myoreps...

It's disgusting and mixes terribly, even using a high powered blender. That was enough for me to throw it all out.

Did you actually read my post? I have no trouble making gains. And everyone I've helped doesn't have any trouble making gains as long as they follow the plan I lay out for them.

I've seen plenty of people who claimed nothing worked for gains, but in almost all cases, they were gaining no weight. Once we got their diet sorted, they started making gains. Unless you are advanced, or one of the less than a percent who are genetically screwed (this is almost never the...

Honestly, worrying about TUT is pointless for 90% of lifters. Most guys fussing about things like that are small dudes who have made no gains because they fuss about things like TUT and change routines too much instead of picking a plan and sticking to it. I have to have the brutally honest...

That was bad ass. I cant wait to try them out this weekend when there are fewer assholes at the gym.

Those look awesome!

That's why they make monolifts

I'm having trouble finding seated back raises. What exactly are they? I'm intrigued.

To be fair, those stats are 14 years apart. Ive had a child go from being a toddler to an adult in that time frame, so... It's fun to see though. Wish I'd taken more pictures and tracked things a lot better throughout the years.
