no matter what, we will always see room for improvement.. if you went back to many many years and tell/show the old you where you are today, you would be stoked to know that you are where you are at now..same applies for the next few years..View attachment 50306
When I look at myself I think I’ve got miles to go, and it’s frustrating as all hell

Stay safe yourself...you really done great.Hey everyone, I was in a deload but the gym today announced that after today it’s closed until at the least the end of March.
I took about 5 days off and wasn’t planning on training until next week, but with the now extended time off I decided to get a workout in and push today a bit further than normal.
My goal was to see how heavy I could go while keeping the rep speedy.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised so here’s a comparison video.
Video 1: strength block in the competition that I benched 490. This is 430lbs
Video 2: today in a volume block where, due to an extended deload, I decided to feel something heavier. This is 435lbs
Not gonna lie, I’m pleasantly surprised and it goes to show as well how good PSL gear is.
I’m recovering good, I’m strong, and I’m moving my old strength block load +lbs with relative smoothness when I’m not even in a strength block.
Things are looking good
Time to deload and recover
Stay safe with the covid crisis

How would you try to keep size and strength in your legs without access to squat rack or barbell?
asking for a friend....
Jesus when are the gyms going to open!?!?!?!
I've always been curious at what point does overall volume stop being as effective? For example lets use bench press. Doing 60 reps total of 200 lbs. Your overall volume would be 12,000. Most would consider that an effective workout. Now lets say you hit 12,000 in a different way with super light weight. Lets say you bench 20 lbs for 600 reps. Volume is exactly the same but weight is 1/10 of before. Are you going to get the same results? Or at some point does the amount of weight actually matter?Hey everyone! So sometimes I think we, or I, take volume for granted and fail to really think about the consequences of the type of volume we do.
I am trying to wrap my brain more around two types of volume,
Volume 1:
High Sets / Mediumish reps. For example 20-30 sets of pushups at 15-30 reps. My sweet spot would be around 20.
I can do 483 pushups in 25 minutes, broken up around that range.
We therefore have a high amount of sets, with enough reps in reserve to be able to do more and more of those sets. My girlfriend for example did
140 pushups in 15 minutes rough average 10 reps per set
Volume 2:
Very low sets / High reps
Example today I did a series of low rest pushups (elevated to make them slightly harder) and did
50, 30ish, 25ish, 22ish, 18ish, 15,ish 12,ish done.
two very different approaches to high volume, am curious on how they differ fromo a recovery perspective etc
I feel like I am over simplyifying
I can personally say from a "sore" perspective "volume 2" above is about as equally painful as some of my volume 1 workouts.
Food for thought
Volume for thought
