2 days ago I hit 495 on squat for the first time in over a year. I wasn’t hurt or injured, instead my training has varied and shifted away from heavy compounds. Recently I have had the urge to lift heavier and see where my strength resides. I feel great and plan to keep heavy compounds back in my training going forward. My competitive spirit is still fresh and I’m excited to execute more heavy lifts 💪
@Mike Lafer imma be sore for 2-3 days, we killed it today. Mike showed me the path to becoming as strong as possible🧬 Thanks for all the knowledge Brother, Leg day is next 🥲😐🤧 I don’t plan on walking out that gym alive…
@Sebastian Lisker Arango I make sure to have some form of carbs throughout the day before I lift. I don’t carb overload before because I don’t find it extremely necessary. I like having somewhat of an empty stomach before lifting. The amount of grams of fat to eat on a bulk varies per person and what the other macro nutrient intake is.
This community is evolving! Send your most impressive lift if not everything you say is FALSE NEWS. 205lbs for 5. With foam roll on back to add more stretch!
Yo it’s Mike! Pleasure to be here working with everyone. I was born and raised in AZ and been here since. Now in Chandler. Been training my whole life and have known Sebas ever since we started with soccer together 💪 After soccer I competed in powerlifting at ASU and was a 3 time collegiate national powerlifter in 3 different weight classes. I’m also a musical artist and perform all around AZ frequently. Stage name is “GC MIKE” My main genre is hip hop but am branching into a variety of musical styles. I’m glad to be here and spread the benefits of fitness and continue to become the best I can.
