Peak week 3 day 3
1 x 1 x 510
5lb lifetime PR, but I honestly just feel, “meh” about it, I understand I’m fatigued, but… should’ve moved more quickly.

Ready for whatever. Next week is 90% singles and variations. Gonna try and work on some cues, especially deadlift, I don’t typically leave slack and jerk the bar, but definitely did with the 510. I pride myself on not being a dipshit, but that was rather dipshitty

This was going to be my comment on the deadlift. Your mental cues are a heck of a lot more difficult to remember/follow when a max lift is sitting there playing mind games with you.
I won’t say anything more, you know what you did lol.
Nice job on the lifts despite(ade) being a dipshit .

Longest time I’ve been in the gym. So busy. No squat racks available, good lord haha lots of old folks wanting to talk. 30 minutes of lifting, and I was there for well over an hour
The lifting felt great, 375 was flat moving, bracing felt good, cues felt solid. Good day.

Felt excellent. Cues were on, felt like I could’ve loaded anything on the bar and it would’ve moved.

Just a note, be careful with those extras. The majority of extra stuff Greg seems to do is unweighted or with light bands. Not to mention he’s been at it a long time. I would be very, very wary of going to gung ho with the extra workouts, especially during peak. Remember his guidelines was something that doesn’t cause much muscle breakdown at all.

Did these on the stiff bar, felt heavy AF. Fatigue has set in, I guess, ha. 50% on all three tomorrow. Then next week will be test week, depending on call outs and recovery, it’s pretty fluid, which is nice.

Ended my peak with small PRs
510 Deadlift (+5 all time)
435 Squat (+10 all time)
315 Bench (no change)
Pretty disappointed, fucked up somewhere, not sure where, but it happened. Guess we will head into hypertrophy and try and put a bit of muscle on and trim a bit of fat.

That’s still two PRs out of three. I’d be happy with that. Now you go again and next time you get three. Good work

A lot can go on we aren’t aware of. You did fine.
I’d advise not to think about trimming fat. You’re not fat. Just use the hypertrophy to gain mass. It’s probably one of the hardest parts of Greg’s system.

Should’ve said “trim the shit calories from my diet” haha 220 feels fine. Just need to make better fuel choices as opposed to life cereal and gummy snacks

Just a question, do you post your videos in the team group much? It’s one of the most helpful things, Greg and the smart guys pick up on a lot. I ask because I haven’t seen many of yours, but I might just be missing them.
Yeah, posted a lot, got lots of good feedback. Now I post when it’s up around 80%+ to not clutter up the feed as much haha not exactly just target lifter

Post everything man. Greg and Marc push that. If you only post above 80 per cent you miss out a lot of the work.

It’s just the hypertrophy, it hits everyone like that. You come off a peak and get thrown into this.
