    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    It's not such a bad assumption. In fact, it's going to get worse, new front squat PRs are coming very soon. 380+ within the next couple of weeks. I may be switching to high bar back squats instead of the kinda low-bar/full depth hybrid I've proven to be an utter failure at...in theory, the...

    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    For those of you betting, quite reasonably, that I would deadlift 600 before squatting 400, sorry to disappoint...squatted 403 today (11lb PR), deadlift still at 590.

    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    Just jotting down a couple notes... Sunday, I failed a very close 290x2 bench. Better than last week. Still lacking confidence. Also, I feel like my pec has been like 95% healed for a long time...might need to take a more substantial break from benching to let it heal the rest of the way...

    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    Today Felt tired for several reasons, not the least of which was a compressed schedule, yesterday would have ordinarily been a rest day. Still, some good lifting was done. Press: Worked up to 214, finally hit it after two work-ups and 4 attempts (1lb PR :D). Bunch of other pressing and push...

    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    Today Summary: Power Cleans: Didn't warm up well, didn't feel good, but the first rep I actually failed was 286, which is my all-time PR. So not terrible? Box Jumps: Think I got a small height PR. This means nothing to you, but for my records: 2x20kg, 2x25kg. 2x10kg, 2x15lbs stacked on tall...

    Carbs for weight loss?

    The distinctions between "simple" and "complex" carbs are rarely worth making. We have long threads on this...bottom line, it all ends up as glucose eventually, it's only a matter of time. It's also worth noting that choosing "whole grains" over more refined grains means you'll be getting a...

    Gluten Free Bread

    If you're worried about gluten and related issues, just stop eating bread entirely. It's not that hard, and it liberates you from the quest to find "alternatives."

    Why the Sherdog hate of conventional diet ?

    Obviously, most people get by "just fine" eating conventionally. Just as obviously, most people could be eating better, and by extension, could be performing better, feeling better, and being healthier in general. Seems pretty simple to me (?).

    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    Terrible logging habits (but good training habits!).I'll do something of a "week in review": Tuesday Power cleans and front squats. Cleans felt bad, a lot of distraction, didn't go heavier than 260-something, then some lighter stuff for volume. Front squats included a 330 double, and other...

    XTrainer's Log: It's important to pack on mass.

    Yeah, probably same thing. Felt like I strained it a little bit in December, and then reinjured it somewhat worse a few weeks back. I'm almost healed, but not quite. And then, of course, there's the mental aspect, as my workout today shows...I'm cautious about pushing (no pun intended) too hard...

    Your Warm-Up Is Making You Weakr

    You realize this statement is true by definition. SO many people is this field, as well as in nutrition, do this (consciously or unconsciously) to give themselves cover.

    weight cutting for bjj competition

    I'm really considering disallowing this type of thread...being a week out from competition, not knowing how you're going to make weight, and doing whatever the interwebz tells you is just a recipe for disaster.
