 Good morning kids. Happy Saturday or whatever day it is in your universe. Welcome to my packing. Not the prettiest thing, but sometimes you just got to get her done. That's how we get her done. Here's her so far away. I'm trying to make it more intimate. Finally got some sleep in me and so hopefully today's training goes well. I've been told you are training about four days a week, trying to find a real plan now. I want to be strong. I've been thinking about it. Sometimes I want to be strong. Sometimes I just like training. When you've been lifting for 32, I've been lifting training for purpose since I was 12, 20 years, seventh grade. How old are you in seventh grade? I guess I'm 12-ish right? I started with my strength conditioning coach for basketball. So you know at that point I wanted to get better at basketball. I wanted to get faster. I wanted to dunk. I wanted to be resilient. I wanted to be you know better than everybody at basketball and I still do and I still am. I'll cross your little ass up and then I went through a strong phase of you know late teens early 20s. I just want to be the biggest baddest dude. I wanted to look like Ronnie Coleman. I wanted to look like Dexter Jackson was one of my favorites. The dude wore Jordan and he was so symmetrical, is so symmetrical. I was like I want to be Dexter Jackson and then you learn other things you know. No shade by any means but that was not the route for me and then I found performance training. Strength conditioning, power lifting, weight lifting and I wanted to be strong and I chased that pretty dang hard for eight years or so and from there you know goals change, people change and here I am probably off of four years of kind of just floating you know enjoying training, enjoying working out but no direct goal. Business goals come into play, life goals come into play. I bought a house, I've moved, open businesses, I've closed businesses. Other things happen meanwhile I still am training and not that my life is any less hectic by any means. Life is absolutely insane right now but I got a little urge you know we're all on this. I've been watching Dexter, I don't know if you guys remember Dexter but there's this Tony Robbins type character who's a murderer and he keeps saying tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock that's the sound of your life wasting away and that stuff doesn't normally hit me it's just in my mind right now to tell you that it's pretty meaningless to me but you know I know my clock to be my strongest isn't 30 years you know it's more like 10, 15 years you know I could probably sneak into my 40s and still be my strongest ever but that's gonna take some effort now that will maybe portray it later so I want to get strong so today's heaviest day of the week probably if you throw it all together I kind of go heavy deads today medium squats and medium is just a general phrase I'm using in terms of not only the intensity but the volume comp squatting and then it's the only day I do all three comp lifts with no variation and then it'll be comp bench also medium to heavy I'll probably try to smash like a comeback PR of like fives top fives so whether that be maybe 305 or so we'll see squat similar thing maybe work up to 425, 455 and then deads I'm gonna be pulling with the guys and we'll see how heavy that ends up maybe maybe 565 to 585 somewhere in that range is the goal chili rainy morning here time to get after it ladies and gentlemen I'm back Salam I appreciate y'all the support on the videos feels great man if you like the videos be sure to subscribe turn on the notifications and give this thing a thumbs up comment below your favorite pizza topping and I'll know you're listening I know you love me and it also hopes the video grow and expand which we need right now appreciate you did the second big thing to get kind of the paperwork business out the way is holy crap y'all are showing out man the compliments the comments the support of the 3sb.co drop has been insane and if you guys haven't grabbed your stuff I don't want to tell you you're out of luck but we have very very very few things left we might have a beanie left check the website 3sb.co we might have a hoodie and like excel or 2x a couple pairs of shorts not many very few sweatpants and some socks we have a couple teas left and couple sizes not all though so check that out excels I think we have maybe some smalls so check that out your guys support's been insane and it's it's crazy for me to get back to my roots of creativity and to fully expose it to y'all is very nerve-wracking and anxiety-driving feel like I'm standing naked in front of you but you guys your guys the support has been insane and my goal is just to create unique small batch one-off items that are highest quality that you can enjoy that you can feel good about wearing be functional feel good feel good dress good look good kind of deal so thank you guys so much the beanie I'm wearing right now is from the drop the shorts are from the drop before and again once it's gone it's gone talking about coming to the gym man we're feeling good big dead list today my groove is finding finally finding itself had a talk with Mike to share very very very accomplished powerlifter in his own rights coach too many champions the guys been around the game for a very very long time and so he put on his Instagram a while ago he was talking about how things feel versus how they move in the squat bench dead coming back from a long layover and I chatted with him a little bit about that and him and I had similar experiences with ourselves and not only our clients dead lifts feel heavy but we're moving my grooves good squats actually don't feel that heavy they're moving really good hit another double coming up I don't know if I have it filmed but a really heavy double and so we're pushing towards that 600 pound squat coming soon but bench for some reason not only lacks in strength for me on the comeback maybe because it's a smaller muscle or just not my quote-unquote strength lift it's not my best lift but also it feels so heavy so then this last week you know I think we've been back on the grind maybe a month or two so we're starting to push that volume a little bit just because I am adapted to what's going on now the frequency in the weights but it took about two months for you know 225 to kind of feel normal for me and so I go a little bit heavier on this bench day then I probably planned it's my third or fourth bench day of the week and typically I do a variation but we were feeling good and the bench presses starting to feel groovy baby so I'm really excited for that squats you know the volumes probably the highest for all my list is just what I can handle so feeling like a hair beat up but nothing bad and things are moving good I found my groove easily with the squats again I'm kind of built a squat obviously the poles were grooving goofing and grooving but that's deadlift sorry bench for some reason just always feels heavy in my hands but I really excited to push my way back towards the 400 pound mark real soon here I think I benched 335 for single and 315 two sets of four recently past this video it's not in this video so that really really felt good comment below also what your experience is on a comeback how things feel versus how they move and which lift necessarily feels heaviest in your hands on your back because it's benched by far for me the other ones I can kind of shake off and I can kind of muscle through bench for some reason Suze on racket feels like a mountain again thanks so much for the support you guys are absolutely insane on the videos the 3sb can't wait to continue to make content here and 50% facts or podcast every single week check that out on any audio source you guys like to listen to Spotify iTunes etc etc I love creating content for you guys it really is what I love and I love even more getting back to my roots of a more tangible creation with the clothing that we're doing the the cutting so the unique items to kind of share and unify us as a community again the good company motto it means a lot to me and it means even more that you guys relate in some senses and that you guys are enjoying the process so I think we go up to maybe 295 or so on the bench maybe 305 my maths even off I don't even know plates anymore but two plates quarter and a 10 and I move that for some reps again feeling really really solid overall yeah here we go I'm going with a medium to wide grip for me I think I got a kind of my ring finger straddling whoo straddling the marker on the outside legs are tight feeling good I appreciate you guys
