Look at that! He resets his training max and pops out 2 PRs.

Interesting pyramid you did there Joe, repping out on he money set and then again at the bottom of the pyramid. I don’t recall that from the e-book better watch out for mj, he might call you out for being a revisionist!

Verily this idea came from the wise Kroc and has been endorsed by the Exhalted Wendler himself.

It is dogma.

God Wills it!

I’ve been fighting off a tiny summer cold for a couple of days and not being able to breathe cost me a rep or two on the money set. Still all in all a pretty solid day.

Lot of benching, Joe. Great work, and a model I may follow as well.

Joe, that is awesome! 3 exercises and 4 PRs. It’s really hard to get more than that. Great work!

PRs while sick. Joe is a beast!

  • 4 reps PR! you improve in leaps and bounds. I’m going to go sulk with some pie now.

I really like this model as opposed to the strict BBB one because it gives me a few more heavier reps.

Well to be honest the (+4) on the 14 rep 160 was teh cheapest of cheap PRs.

Damn you, you can have the Pr if you’ll let me have the pie.

Hi I’m Joe and I have a pie problem.

Thanks but I think at this point I am still an aspiring beast.

There are no cheap PRs… PRs are just markers of progress. If you are hitting them, then you are progressing. Nothing cheap about that!

Got a sharp pain in my left glute on rep 6 of my money set, managed to grind out 5 more reps and got all my work in. Scared me for a second and cost me a couple of reps but I stretched and I think its fine.

nice work - get rhonda to massage it out for you

No, my wife wouldn’t go for that either.

Damn I missed squat day??! I was this close to coming down there but couldn’t make myself get outta bed…darn it.

Good work though.

I can’t say I’d be cool with that either. I’m strictly hands off my stuff. Although, if you were allowed to partake in any extra glute massaging, Ronda would be the person I’d recommend. It’s great to have a friend that supports you in your progress. They more people doing it, the better.
