I was thinking of saying…
If your goals are,
to lose 10 pounds in a week
bench 400 pounds
run a 4 minute mile
OR
kill an alligator with your bare hands, all you have to do is squat 3x per week
Everyone thinks there’s a secret, and thats what they want to here. Not that it takes hard work and deication. Telling them that will never work!

Whats the layout Chobbs, it looks like your doing the advanced 531 for the first bench exercise, I’m dying to try this, but i’m still messing around with smolov, so I’m going to wait, and i guess watch how it goes for you. I wasn’t sure what you ment by SS bench, just wondering what template your using.
I didn’t purchase beyond, because I was going to buy Paul’s base building manual instead, I guess seeing as there both 10$ probably makes me cheap, but good work either way !
SS=Slingshot bench sorry…I have the reactive (blue) one
Has anyone seen the bar speed tracking device in lifters youtube videos? It’s just a tiny yellow band attached to the end of the bar.

Looking over my log, it kind of seems like to a varying degree, 3 lifts kind of stall/remain the same while one improves literally every few weeks. First it was press, then bench, deadlift, now squat.
I was sitting in class today and just leaned back to stretch and snap, crackle,pop, slide out there goes my right shoulder. It’s sore AF at the moment but I wasn’t going to hit OHP until Friday anyways.
I had a dream last night I found a badass gym in Fort Wayne that was kind of an EliteFts/Super Training mix and I was pumped to train. Then I woke up
