Had a hard time finding your log, I expected something like: Riding the t-rex with laser beam eyes! Great training as usual, as my mom used to say if you like to eat you need to know how to cook. At this point the only thing between you and that 550 pound deadlift is food. [/quote]
x2
you might just have to return to eating like you did in high school.
goicad (gallon of ice cream a day)
sobad (side of beef a day)
I think I took in 1400 kcals while reading the last few pages of your log. Good work in here.
Y’all are real nice folks.

Notes:
FP: getting stronger but major power loss on each rep. Rep 1 flies up, rep 2 powers up okay and rep 3 grinds.
Squats: 375 is clearly not a max, which is encouraging as regards the Hepburn program and is a PR for this body weight.
I didn’t think you California boys said y’all.
Congrats on the PR, and yes PR’s at a body weight count.
Fricken wild ass experiment you got going on. I kinda like it.
Are you jotting down notes outside of this forum about your experience?
I’m back to doing workouts from intuition until I find a program I might learn something from. Got a few good things out of 5/3/1 and will continue using it as a primary template, but Jim W isn’t my fricken age and doesn’t know shit about how the body ages, so I’m tailoring back to what my body craves and responds best to. Gotta start pushing the envelope again.
Great work, Tony. The floor presses continue to climb and inspire.
What is your squat max? best ever, I mean…

My best real squat ever, done for real (not paused, estimated and not from pins, to pins or off boxes) is 395.

I’m from Oklahoma-by-the-Sea - Northern, NORTHERN California. It’d be Oregon if they’d let us, but they keep tarring us with the same brush as those SoCal’ions.

I have a blog, but I just post the training that I post here, plus some things that occur to me. Not real interesting stuff compared to others who really know what they’re doing.

Nice work as usual Tony. Just eat more. If nothing else do like some of my training partners: taco bell + chocolate milk. win win. [/quote]
I keep wishing for a Burger King in my town - I likes me them triple whoppers with fries and a milkshake. But there IS a Taco Bell on the beach here and a convenience store on the way back to the house with cheap choco.

awesome job going on here tony. i’m always impressed with the high level of volume in your training. [/quote]
If I get to Platinum Wombat levels, I hope you’ll talk me down off the ledge.
Every guy that came into the gym today - I mean every guy - did curls and shrugs. Even I did curls…in the squat rack even. I was there two hours but not a single squat did I see that I did not perform.

Oh, I know that number. I was stuck at or below that for 24 years 
Any max attempts in the foreseeable future? I would love to see 405# and more go up!

Wow, I normally see somebody squat. Usually very high but still they try it.
over the past 10 lifting sessions I have only seen one person squat. I have seen 10 people curl in the squat rack. I did hang snatches in the squat rack with curl weight, so that counts too.
i have seen 2 other people do gms during that time. one guy was doing them so bad I made him stop cuz I was afraid his spine would explode and I’d get some on me.
I don’t think I’ve seen more than 2 or 3 people doing shrugs in the past year.
but I’ve seen 130 guys lift up their shirts and check their abz in the mirror. My gym isn’t going to have any mirrors. and when I’m king, things will be different

I grew up just north of the Siskiyous and can vouch for that.
Now I think everything from Redding to Roseburg needs to be its own State. Ashland should be buried under 20’ of lava though. Ever hear of the State of Jefferson?

Wait, does that make sense?
I break the no-curls-in-the-squat-rack rule all the time. In my gym, no one blinks an eye. Of course, I always step aside for anyone that wants to actually squat. I haven’t had to yet, though.
And Triple Whoppers, they’re great. All the macros in one meal. Some trans fat, though (yes, I’ve checked).

Ah, but delicious none the less. I love triple burgers.

Cheeeeeeecoooooooo!
Oregon is, for the most part, just an extra 5 hours of shit to drive through when you want to get from Seattle to NorCal.
