Haha. Thanks. Yeah, that was the night I got the nickname "beef jerky bandit". I was a bit of a fatass and loved my snacks. Most people grab liquor and cigarettes. After I got the cash I took all their beef jerky and little Debbie's. Haha. Of course I was on the news and all the guys in jail were just rolling when they saw me coming in. Already had my name picked out.

Probably didn't help I went to a private Christian school at the time. (Got kicked out of public/alternative schools). It was chapel day that day so I had on my Sundays best. Lol. One of the dudes I was booked in with that was in the same block as me saw me all dressed up when I got there. Then they started reading off all my charges and he was like, WTF!?? LOL

Next week is going to be fun. Since I'm "bulking" I'm going to throw in some amraps on top of the higher volume to autoregulate my weights. Shooting for 10 reps on SBD at my 80% weight. If I hit the weights easy enough, I might even extend the volume another week and do another set of amraps to see if I can hit 10 reps again at the new weights.

How much weight are you looking to throw on?

 

[Brandaddy]

How much weight are you looking to throw on?

Not a tremendous amount, probably get up to a walking around weight of 205-210. Hopefully will keep it mainly muscle and finally hit my goals of 600+ squat, 400+ bench, 675 deadlift.

Bran,do you calculate your volume ? and what method do you use ( #of lifts, tonnage..?)

I track overall weekly volume on various lifts in pounds. I typically take into account rpe as well though. Because if all I do are rpe 6 sets, I might need to do twice as much volume to get similar results compared to rpe 8-9 sets.

That's the view of the house I'm working on from inside the house I'm staying at for now. Lol. Have to redo the gutters, sand down the gable accents and soffit then repaint them. Probably refinish the porch out front too. But the outside is almost done. 4br, 2ba, 2,250 sq.ft. Should rent for about $1,200/month

Man, where I live $1,000-1,200 gets you a halfway decent one bedroom apartment.

I don't have any 1brs, but I do have a pretty nice looking 2br upper unit that is only $535/month. Lol. A guy could live off a job mowing lawns around here if he had to. And without having to sleep in your car. Ha.

Texas used to be like that. I literally did brush clearing and tree cutting at ranches for $10 an hour and had a 1 bedroom for 550 a month. Cost of living has gone way up. All the California ass holes moved out here and fucked up the market
