Sorry to hear that man

After a deload, Iā€™m sure 455 is there. Plus, thatā€™s still a damn impressive deadlift to have. Also, youā€™ll have 500 by the end of the year for sure.

Right lower trap still feeling iffy, feeling pretty good now though.

Had a lot of fun this training session. Gonna make for a powerbuilding type routine for this offseason, frequency of this program is gonna keep me busy and will push me pretty hard, but the bodybuilding work is a lot of fun. A new aspect to training, focusing on the muscle and keeping it under constant tension was humbling for me and is something Iā€™m definitely not used to. DOMS are killing me today.

Slight issue recently, my asshole has become Fort Knox. I am constipated, my water consumption has been good, vegetable consumption has been the same, really I havenā€™t changed much in my diet at all. Anyone have any good ideas on how I can get back to shitting on a regular basis??

Fort knox was built to keep things out

Dulcolax never fails, using it once will clean you out. Make sure you take it either right before you go to bed or when you first wake up because it takes 6-12 hours to move through your system.

Other things you can try are missing a meal or two, limiting meat intake for a day or so, eating a lot more veggies, and investing in a decent probiotic.

Very Excited for this summer break. Iā€™ve been putting together my Off-Season work and am very happy with how it looks. Gonna be going balls to the wall this summer (Within a safe level and actually have a plan)

A little insight into how this program will look for me.

  • Iā€™ll be touching strongman events minimally.
  • Iā€™ll be doing Wenning style warm-ups
  • I wonā€™t be using my belt the entire time unless itā€™s for a heavy deadlift session.
  • I will be running a push-pull style program that hits every muscle 3x every 2 weeks.
  • I will be doing speed work, rep work and heavy volume for each muscle group
  • It will be mainly powerbuilding. Iā€™ll be at maintenance/surplus for all 14 weeks.

Time to build the Berserker.
