I know that there are people who lift with wraps and all those things who are lifting 100 pounds more than I am. Lifting with extra things won't get me 100 extra pounds. I trust the cycles of my training to get me stronger- it's boring and not exciting- but it has continued to work- so I trust in my body to be stronger than it is.
It's because they only think about training (now) in the short-term and not as a life-long pursuit. Those of us who put in the work and accumulate the reps over a longer period of time will ultimately be stronger and still training in the future. That turkey won't.
Additionally, there are some things you do that you can't unring the bell. My employer is a natural bodybuilder who got his pro-cards a number of years ago. He said the temptation is always there to get bigger and better. He just doesn't think you can make an easy transition back the other way. It's more of a mental and emotional thing. If you've already driven the F1 cars, can you go back to driving your Honda.1 -

Get *kitten* done!1 -
I don't know why I'm so excited, but I mis-grooved this 365 and was still able to lock it out. I'm pissed that I lost some tightness at the bottom of the lift, but stoked that I've reached a point with 365 that even if there's a mis-hap, I'm able to get to the top of the lift. Bench has done great things so far this block.

I deadlifts. Worked my way up to 165kg for a double and 167.5 for a single, chose to post 157.5 (although the 167.5 is posted on my Facebook) put 15kg on my 2rm, and improved my gym 1rm by 2.5kg - I had more but I ran out of sets and time.

Thanks. Found out it's a partial tear in the rotator cuff and a SLAP tear. I've got an appointment with and Ortho surgeon in a few weeks.
Guess it's time to up my squat game!0 -

Tore all the tendons in my shoulder benching October 2013. Had surgery in November by the guy that does the Atlanta Braves. Said I would get about 98% back as long as I did PT exercises from here on out. Pain last a year and a half. Got back to gym 6 months after surgery. Took 3 years to get back to pre surgery numbers. Of course I'm 50 now, so numbers are 390 flat, 345 incline. You can get back just do what you're told by PT.0 -
Gah! No videos! My photog/husband is fired!
So, my meet outcome wasn't what I was hoping for. No hardware (I was in the biggest division). Squats ended at 192 lbs. Bench at 145 lbs. Deads at 331.7 lbs. Learned a lot and am ready for the next one!

I appreciate the insight. I don't know (locally) many lifters and they guys on the forum I'm on haven't had shoulder surgery so I wasn't getting much first hand advice. Guy I'm seeing is the Dr that covers the KC Chiefs and Royals and interned way back with the Broncos. I'm hopeful he knows what he's doing.
Deja vu.... I'm 47 right now.....0 -

Great first meet. Congrats!!
That was actually my 1st bench. Jumped the press cue on my second, and didn't get the weight up on my 3rd. Definitely most disappointed in my bench performance. Next time!1 -

I shouldn't have assumed those were all third attempts, my bad. And you're right! NEXT TIME!! Glad there's going to be a next time.1 -

Pleased with bench and squat progression. I'm about a month out from my meat and think my taper will produce something magical.7

Why vegetarian for the next month?

Why is your meat so far away?
I like to keep my meat close to me.3 -
