Good job man! Had a similar fucked up situation at home except it was just my mum I had. It’s awesome when you’ve moved out and get all away from it. Really glad you’re moving out man

Well, my gym closed down temporarily. Looks like I’ll be stuck with deadlifts until I can build a squat rack.

Axle Deadlifts

135 x 2 x 5
185, 225, 275 x 3
315 x 12 (PR)
345 x 5 (PR)

Strict Axle Rows

185 x 5 x 10 — challenging! I figure I could knock out 14-15 reps in an all-out set.

That’s all. Axle floor pressing tomorrow. I love my new school, too. The people are just so much different (in a good way) than they were back at my old school.

My entire Instagram is now a thirst trap.

@T3hPwnisher random question. I read somewhere on elitefts that you can pull a max single with 95% of your estimated 1RM for a touch-and-go set. How true do you find that to be?

I may be misreading this, but how would one pull a touch and go single?

I’m saying that the article said that your actual max single (dead-stop) is much closer to 95% of an estimated 1RM calculated from a touch and go set. For example, my best barbell deadlift set is 315 x 15. Using Wendler’s formula, that comes out to having 470 as a DL max. My actual max is closer to 445, as 95% of 470 is 445.

I get what you are saying now.

They are 2 different movements. The 1rm you calculate from a touch and go set will be different than a deadstop. As for how big a difference, gonna depend on the trainee. I don’t have any maxes to compare against, since I so rarely do them.

ooh. 3 hours of sleep, a paycheck, and a PR. that was fun. :woozy_face: (my face after realizing that my PR set of axle deadlifts made me drop the soap)

Axle Deadlifts

  • blah sets
  • 335 x 9
  • 335 x 3 — BDSM set

fuck

@T3hPwnisher thanks for sending me that crazy juice (and yes, i AM referring to the amphetamine-spiked Rockstar energy drinks) in the mail :wink:

you should have seen my grind on that attempted 10th and then the dead-stop version of that attempted 10th because i’m an angry person and pain interests me

in all seriousness, thank you! it was a good set.

Remember this? Your life matters and there are people who care about you. There are also people who will be blessed by you. You just may not know them or realize it.

The fact that people are still replying to you about your struggles proves otherwise. Granted, we’re just a bunch of random internet dudes, but you get the point. Hang in there dude.

777

if you believe this, then it will seem true even if it is false. the only person who can truly dig yourself out of hell is yourself. believe in yourself man

Where do you live again? State’s fine, if you’re comfortable answering, not asking for the city or anything weird.

First part of this could be no homo, but hair texture is on a different level bro.
