Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Yeah i thought somethin like that

Just seeing how many more years i gotta do this shyt to get that kind of strength

Skrenf has nothing to do with years under the bar IME.

I've been outlifting dudes lifting longer than me and been outlifted by dudes lifting as long or less than me.

Skrenf is a skill, just like playing the saxophone or drums; just cause you've been playing longer than someone it doesn't mean you're gonna be better (stronger).

Same reason I told @You know damn well to cut them reps if he wants to hit 545 on DL; because rep strength =/= 1RM strength. They are related but not perfectly correlated.

From my optics, the dudes that hit most of their barbell sets for 8-12 reps usually have lower 1RMs relative to the folks like me that rarely go over 5 (but tend to have higher strength endurance).


Some rough time benchmarks in case you are interested (I started w/ the 45 lb bar on everything except a 95 lb DL):
600 lb DL - 5.5 yrs lifting
585 lb DL - 3 yrs lifting
405 lb DL - 1 yr lifting
525 lb Squat - 3 yrs lifting
315 lb Bench - 3 yrs lifting
185 lb OHP (standing, strict) - 4 yrs lifting

My drunk ass read that 600lb DL as a benchpress

Wait a min 405 DL in a year?

But those benchmarks are interesting as hell tho preciate that, one of my boys told me way back to work up to 80-90% and stay there for a few sets until i get beyond 4ish reps and move up so thats what i been on plus a lil supersetting and pyramids and shyt

I see i need to go pray to lord gains powda for another decade

Actually less than that, I had already gotten off SL 5x5 by that point. Prolly talking 8-9 months but I am built for pulling.

As far as weight progression goes, remember that there is more than one way to skin a cat (fukk catset btw ).

shyt is trash, I can tell by eyeballing the label. Cit Mal and BA are both underdosed. I stopped there.


This #Powda® shyt is not your lane. Stick to yours.

Today I ate 2 lamb chops and 2 decent size homemade chocolate chip cookies for dinner I'm having fruit/oatmeal smoothie. I'm doing cardio and movement drills. Tmw is gone be all about reps and Sunday I'm going heavy again.

Do you eat vegetables - your meal reports never list them and I know how you southern people like to eat. Get your greens...without fatback or hamhocks

I'm 6'6 270 and the idea of me getting a 6 pack by my birthday isn't realistic with the way I train. The funny part is my BMI is 30 but body fat is 15%. I'm just gone tone up while increasing strength. The deadlift goal is more ego than anything

So you doing 500 or not chief
