I do 90% of my training in my basement powerlifting gym. 1200 pounds of plates, some adjustable plate loaded dumbbells, and a cable machine for joint friendly accessories. However, I have two free gym memberships — Anytime Fitness and the gym I train clients out of — and I’m helping my friend open a premier powerlifting…

Lift heavier

And to expand on this, it’s the eccentric part of the movement which creates the soreness.

Thanks Lanny! Not sure what my last attempt will be. I have some ideas, but let’s see what squats bring me. If I squat well, I tend to bench well in meets.

I think he’s being drawn and quartered

Seconded. Ditch StrongLifts for Starting Strength. SS has more robust programming and coaching support. Rippetoe regularly publishes coaching content on his YouTube channel and a podcast. Read the books while your at it.

Tapering for a meet while cutting (12 pounds) and my RPE for my openers has consistently become easier, ie from a 7.5 or 7 to a 6 or 5.5. So no, you do not necessarily become weaker.

RPE 10

Is there any other way?

NEAT but it ain’t exercise.

My basement is just warm enough in winter but damp and cool in summer. I got lucky in that department
-
I’ve been known to vacuum and make coffee in the nude. You mean those?
-
I can think of way better things to do naked than work out. Lol
-
See the thing is, I am okay with the nudity — even though I turn into a five year old at the thought. What I bristle at that training nude adds nothing. It doesn’t speed up the rate of adaptation, nor does it speed up recovery. It superfluous marketing. Just picturing what the knurl on my barbell would do my stark naked…

Curios,’how did you make this accessment? If one can make this type of accessment, one should be able to fix the weaknesses.

Ha wish I knew

Who cares if they are judging you, and perhaps they are judging you. So what? Are people supposed just stop everything and hide in their houses for eternity because they fear someone else’s opinion? Are these people in the gym you respect? Probably not. You want to reach a goal? Then stop worring about what people think…

How? I admit it would be hard. *** sad trombone *** (I’ll just see myself out, thank,you.)
-
You just became much more awesomer. Is there a feeling that inhabits the space between like and love? Because I might be feeling that.
-
:D You. You I like. Carry on.
-
I have a gym in my basement. I do not train nude.
-
Senior Moment. I believe you already mentioned that to me.
-
Is your next meet the Pure Fitness open? Yeah, I plan on three meets a year now, now that last year's BS is over and I can get on a regular on/off season training schedule which I hope to plan out sometime in the next two weeks with the meets picked in advance.

Without running your numbers, your 295 lbs bench 1RM at your body weight probably puts you out of a novice program. You’re an intermediate and need subsequent programming to further your gains.

Its not rippling abs or head turning booty, but this week peaking has been great. Hit an all time squat of 445 lbs and deadlift of 545 lbs. I’ve battled through injury the last 23 months slowly building to this moment. 545 lbs above

510x2x1, 525, 545 all time PR, 560 WTF might as well as try it underpants attempt. https://instagram.com/p/Bc-buPdjqUC/ So yay, a +5 lbs PR! Music: Orange 9MM, The Cro-Mags, Freya, Earth Crisis.

Depends. Is Mars ascending? It used to be easy to determine this before the Lizard People started spraying chem trails in the air to further their GMOs and over saturation of sugar in our diets, but now all bets are off. Ok just giving you a hard time. As the others pointed out, body typing is a fallacy — really it is a…
