Are you feeling fresher hitting less heavy stuff as often as before? Are you doing like edt or cat syled training now? After I finish this 531 cycle I think I’m going to do edt

Yes cat style training, and yes I feel a lot better mentally/physically. I wasn’t sure if I believed in the philosophy at first but after a couple times of feeling good that day and working up to my TM and it keeps getting easier and easier every time I’m all in.

I love both of them. I can’t really give BBM a fair evaluation tho because I’ve been losing weight. It’s still a great chance of pace and it’s also extremely flexible.
Hi guy, what do you mean with (115x8)x4?

Good stuff in here.
I just wanted to weigh in on a previous discussion about really putting a ton of emotional investment into their lift.
Yes. I will go as far as to say that I try to save most of my psyching and pumping up for my major set, so I will try not to have a massive energy dump before the gym haha.
Chobbs i never tried shruggin with over/under like you did above. Do you rotate grips or which hand is under each set? Everyone keeps saying that style of grip will give a trap imbalance so when i pull i try not to do over under until my PR set or jokers.

Yes one set I did right under the next left under.
Today did a rough basketball workout with an older guy who’s still a stud. Went like this
-elbow jumpers make 10 after every shot get a half court touch
-wing jumpers…same
-3’s, rotate from wing to top of key to wing…touch half court after every shot
-corner 3’s…same
-lunges all the way around the basketball court
- Michael Jordan jump squats, basically a half squat that’s explosively done. Not really a fan but went along with it, all sets done in 25 seconds or less…155x20, 165x20, 155x20x 185x12
-shoot 20 3’s at 5 different spots on the court, catch and shoot
-after every drill mentioned, 5 free throws

I went with the single prong prime cut best belt. I figured that I have never seen a turquoise belt, so I went with that to be interesting. I think the forest green color looked awesome as well though. It was a hard decision to make on the color, so I made it quickly haha.
How long did yours take to deliver?
