GHR and strongman stuff, fewer douchebags.

I posted my recap of Motor City's Strongest Man in the S&C main, check it out!

This Saturday I competed in my first strongman competition. It was a USS event and was well organized. The level of competition was excellent. I finished in a tie for 12th out of 15 in my division (middleweight/220). Here's the breakdown... A little background: I started training for this...

Finished my last week of heavy lifting before the competition yesterday. On Friday, I worked up to a 265 lb. single on the bench, and yesterday I worked up to a 365 lb. single on squats. Tipped the scales at 227.4 lb. after my post-workout meal. This week will be mostly active recovery...

I wouldn't want their mysterious male friend to misconstrue my message and assume it was directed at him and his spandex pants.

I do 30 mg zinc, 90 mg magnesium, 15 mg B 6, 50 mg GABA, and 1 mg melatonin (in the form of a GNC Pro Performance Zinc Magnesium Amino Complex) and an additional 3 mg melatonin and 200 mg L-theanine (in the form of a Nature Made Melatonin+). Sleep like a baby.

The gym was busy last night. All 3 platforms were taken. There were 2 girls and a mysterious guy deadlifting on one of the platforms. I asked if it would bother them if I deadlifted on the floor across from them. They said they only had 1 set left so I said I would wait for the platform. 3...

Worked up to 195x2 in strict overhead press on Monday. Yesterday worked up to 3 singles at 495 in deadlift. This is my last week of heavy training. I have a strongman competition on March 12 so next week will be a deload/technique week. I have 6 or 7 pounds to drop too.

Hey, I'm still here and I'm still training, just not logging on here much. I'm actually on my 27th month of 5/3/1 now, doing BBB assistance currently. I mix in a 5th "strongman" day and I'm doing my first strongman competition in 2 weeks. Last nights lifts were: Deadlift 135x5 225x5 315x5...

New 1RM PR in raw deadlift tonight, 495 lb. Pulling with 5 plates on each side felt awesome! Got a thumbs up from some random Chinese guy in the gym.

I enjoyed both this thread and your website. I look forward to trying your product once my current supply expires. It would be great if all of my workout nutrition (pre/peri/post) were available in such no-nonsense, pure forms.

I usually squat sober, but have nothing against squatting high. Generally, I save the herbals for teh jiu jitsu.

Haven't posted my lifts lately, but I hit 365 for 3 reps last Saturday. It felt pretty good. I may take a crack at 405 this Saturday.

I like the Clif Builder's Bar. 270 cal, 20g protein, 29g carbs, 9g fat, and I can usually pick them up for about $1.25 each.

I've been using 5/3/1 for almost 2 years now and have stopped programming in deload weeks. As stated previously, I deload when life forces me to.

I prefer contrast showers. I do a 3/1/2/1/1/1 contrast shower (H/C) after S&C sessions.

You can peruse the Ironmind store here and then try to find it cheaper somewhere else. Personally, I try to grab my CoC 3 or 4 times a week.

I'm 34 and train S&C 4X per week, and do 4 hours of jiu jitsu as well. I'm stronger than I've ever been, nearing a 1200 lb. raw total. I make sure I get 1 good solid rest day per week where I eat a lot of carbs. I take a good multi, fish oil, ZMA, and creatine. Aside from that, I try to...

I tapped out after a handful of episodes. Show was shite.
