Ironically, I’m phasing that out on this next phase in favor of alternating flies with close grip DB press to failure. We’ll see how it goes though.

That's some serious weight! Nice job. :)

These are impressive numbers, especially considering the number of sets you're doing in this session. With as much volume as you're doing, I have a few questions. One, how much rest time are you taking between sets? I time mine and tend to take ~2 minutes (some more, some less). With that and my...

I find that the number on machines & cables is kind of arbitrary and really only useful for tracking progressive overload consistently. I feel like comparing the number lifted between machines and freeweights is almost apples-to-oranges. Even comparing machines to machines leads to weirdness...

The NuTSR thread attests to this many, many times over.

This would kill me. I envy your conditioning.

I for one can't believe the audacity of soviet's reaction to Snarf's reaction to the reactions of others about something something something.

How's the shoulder feeling?

Not this thread. Bruh. Maybe switch to decaf. Or better yet, a barbiturate.

I can’t imagine functioning without a foam roller. It’s been game changer in terms of all around quality of life.

Congrats! That's awesome. :)

Nice work here! 250 is a fun benchmark. NOW IT'S TIME FOR 275!!!!

For deadlifts, what’s your preference? Sumo, trap bar, traditional? Other than stiff-legged deads, they’re not in my program right now. Before switching gyms, I was really growing to like trap bar deadlifts. Once I get a bit more acclimated, I may reincorporate them into my Sunday routine.

I'm glad to see you being aware of the circuit and people thing. It used to drive me crazy in my prior gym: the men who would hop around 6 stations (and it's not like there were many there) and act indignant when you'd want to work in. Can I ask how a circuit differs from super sets for you? Is...

While I learned to play RPGs on a lent copy of the Mentzer red box set, my first actual purchase was probably the original set of the Marvel Superheroes RPG. That paper route money back in '88 funded what became a lifelong obsession.
