If you’ve never had biscoff crunchy cookie spread, go get some. It will change your life. If you could bundle up your internal feelings of your grandma giving you a hug, running down the stairs when you were a kid at Christmas, and the first time a girl swallowed and kept going…all into one feeling, this is what eating this spread tastes like.[/quote]
I picked up a jar of crunchy today after reading this post.
Holy shit, I see what you mean.
And Happy Birthday - enjoy!

Macros are god awful but it tastes heavenly. Thanks…this morning I counted up all my receipts and I spent $114…on quarter beer night.
Blasphemy. On a side not, I did only overhead work and pushups for about 6-8 months, and my bench went down. So maybe if I would continued benching at the same time it would have improved, but from my experience overhead work isnt needed but it is my favorite press. Just remembered you talking about not doing it.

Something fun to do if you’re only pulling twice a week is to pull for reps/volume off the floor on one day and then heavy off of blocks or out of the rack the 2nd DL day.
this might sound counterintuitive (spelling) but try combining squat/pull into one workout and train legs that day and do back a different day… heavy on one one week and heavy next… alternate them
I tried to push through to make squat pr’s one time.
Resulted in an injured right acl and a pretty bad pulled muscle in my back within 3 months of one another.
I wouldn’t go off entirely though, unless you are injured and need complete rest. Maybe just do some 5x10s or 10x5s with 225. Build up them wheels a bit and then go back to heavy squatting.
I recently took about 2 weeks off squatting entirely and almost stopped eating (subway once a day). I didn’t waste away over night. It took you a long time to build up that strength, it isn’t going to to anywhere in a couple weeks.
