This is for a water fast, correct?

Would be interesting to see a dry fasting chart as well. Autophagy kicks in much earler on a dry fast from what I know.

Was not feeling too strong today. Might be because I've been slacking on protein this week, but also because I jumped up in weight very fast the past week or so and now I'm at my "real" maxes. The gains are no doubt slowing down now!

So dead tired today since I slept late. Doesn't matter that I woke up late as well - night sleep is so much better than day sleep

may lift at night tnite, or double up tomorrow (but with less sets)

So glad to be doing sets of 225 on the bench again! Plan is to stick with this weight until I can hit 7 reps on the first set, then move up in weight. Incline DB's for that pump afterward. Gotta combine the neural gains + myofibrillar hypertrophy + sarcoplasmic hypertropy!

I remember when i was a toddler. I used to sit in a chair and chew on the corners of my toenails.

Today I can barely smell my foot. My nose is probably ~10 inches away from my big toe. Very stiff

Thinking of dropping to 3 sets of heavy benches with higher weight because the first few sets feel pretty light. Would also be easier on my shoulders. And i think i regained an okay amount of neural strength in my bench at this point, so there probably isnt much need for 7-8 sets of benches anymore unless i'm trying to bust through a plateau

btw, incline db bench press "plus" refers to push the shoulders forward at the top for some serratus activation

Just so lazy to post

When my left knee screwed up, it kinda healed, then right knee screwed up once my squat was getting back to 405 max. It screwed up in the same way as the left, so im doing what my PT had me do for my other knee. I notice relief right away. Glute med activation basicaly

Currently RDLing 445x6, kinda deep too, at like 200lbs bw
Dropped barbell benching completely. Just felt like trying incline dumbell only. Stuck with it for like two months. Tried out a 2 plate bench for fun... oh God the strain on the shoulders! I might still with DBs only for a while. Currently at 100’s x6 at a low incline, followed by 90’s x8 at mid incline

Pull ups - 5 clean reps with 80lbs attached

Played light bball to see how my knees feel tomorrow. Only jumped hard once - touched rim from standstill

Whattttttt
This is unfathomable to me lol. I think consistency has been my biggest issue the past couple of years.

I need to weigh myself now and make sure i dont get too fat while putting on this strength. Now i really want my 4 plate squat back. And bench 2 plates for reps easy

Looking at my old posts is providing me some good motivation

I think I'm capable of 195x7. The weight feels a little light at first but by the last set it gets tough. I tried to focus on 100% effort for that reason throughout to reap the benefits as much as possible. Lost count - might have done 6 sets and not 7.
