DYELB: The Gainz Train

Wasn’t supposed to lift today since I donated blood, but I felt fine, so went in with michelle to her gym and hit a lighter weight high rep chest day. Felt surprisingly good. Didn’t get as big of a pump as normal, but still had a dude come over at the end of my workout and ask me about competing an...

I'll come and personally remove your :balls: if you go with a Crosstrek.

OT 15: New Year, New Poo

Not a requirement anymore, but it still is preferred. Though, based on my limited searching, it essentially just leaves the WRX if I want anything made within the last 5 years. If I were to pursue anything, I'm currently learning toward the A3 - similar to the GTI, but AWD. Nothing is set in stone ...

Car talk tré: Carpocalypse Now!

I mentioned this in OT, but figured I'd bring it here since it's more on topic to this thread. I'm thinking about replacing the GTI with an AWD car again. Though, my criteria is pretty limiting.

OT 15: New Year, New Poo

Both good insights, thanks guys. I was eyeing the Audi Q3 lately. I think the extra clearance would be nice, as Zilhuge mentioned. It'd give me a different feel with slightly more space than the GTI too. Q3 is a Tiguan in drag - and it's very old and doesn't have any more space than a GTI. Dates ba...

Although ambitious, my goals for this year: - Drop weigh back to 190-195 (jumped up to 205 due to injuries and holidays) - Squat: 405 (pre-knee injury, prob around 390 right now) ---> 475 - Bench: ???

I've been to Oahu twice - once with my family, once with my wife's. Overall, a fantastic island, but I'd highly recommend not going with her family.

Earlier, I got an email that my company is resuming the BMW auto discount program.

Some of you likely saw it on my IG but I worked on my poverty bench last night. The end of this mesocycle called for 5+ at 235 and I ended up getting 9! I'm fairly certain this is a rep PR for me, including pre-AC joint sprain (2ish years ago) numbers. I also plugged it into a 1RM calc and it came ...
