Edit: @Newlife beat me to it

Peak week for what? Peak week is the week before a competition of some sort. You competing?

 

Ha no. Tis is what we call the hardest week of a training cycle.

 

I know what a training max is and I'm familiar with the 5/3/1. It's roughly 90% of what your 1RM...

I still don't understand the peak week thing. Aren't you trying to lose weight...so you can bulk...you're doing a mass/strength regiment. You want to lose weight? Do more reps

 

Well I’m out

 

Sorry for my misuse in terms. Geeze!

 

I don’t think the misuse in terms threw us off as much as the trying to lose weight by doing wendler’s 5/3/1 so that ou can bulk?

 

I was already doing Wendlers. Losing weight is short term so didnt feel the need to change a program that was working for me for 5-6 weeks while I lost some body fat.

If it aint broke, don't fix it.

I dont care if I stall for that time on the program.

 

Connor where do you live man. And what federation are you pulling for.

 

What do you mean by that? I dont compete. So not at that point yet.

 

i'm in the world wrestling federation

 

I think that's the only thing I could actually compete at the world beer drinking championships.

Or the Federation of big M.F. Porkchops

 

Get the F out.

 

This makes so much more sense! Now I get it. Carry on

 

Been lifting 9 months post being cleared after surgery. Talk to me in 2 yrs lol when I have some hair on my chest and have respectible numbers

 

Yeah...... I lifted more than your numbers combined after 6 months of a major should reconstruction. But you’ll get there.

 

I wish I was as cool as you

 

Well boys, I got engaged last week. I now have to get in shape because we are throwing one hell of a mountain vacation in Idaho for our wedding.

Did pretty well through the summer with work but now the field season is coming to an end and I have to hit the gym again. Legs tonight...first time in what feels like months. Hopefully I can walk after.

 

I match your single shoulder surgery and add a reconstructive foot injury right before the shoulder repair.





Now your going to tell me you are over 40 and you'll win LOL


I'm lucky to be alive lifting at all. I'm greatful for all I can do. I dont take any of my numbers for granite.

 

If you can, you aren’t doing it right

 

I didn’t mean it to sound as douche as it did. But that explains your low squat.
