I just did the math and I am still pound for pound ahead of her. I respond very well to the cycles and have kept 100% of strength gains when going off cycle while she loses a bunch of strength. The key is to keep as much gains during health phase.
100% agree with that mindset and foucs.
 
Nice job

Had a great bench session today. Worked my way up to singles and busted out another new all time best with 385 lbs. Used a medium grip. I just can't bench normal grip without tearing up my right shoulder. This is probably the last time I do medium grip bench this cycle and most likely going to finish it off with just close grip and incline bench for the next 3 weeks. Got to save the shoulder since I am not in a comp until Mid to late July now. Not going to taper at all either as no point in falling behind and restarting again. Might as well keep the fatigue levels high so I stay ahead of the game for a July taper. I have to say I am more than impressed with how things are going. Europharmacies has the best gear on the planet. Both my wife and I can vouch for that!!! I think next week I will be going for 355 for sets of 3 on close grip since it will be the first exercise of the day so I will be fresh. I always seem to be 20-30 lbs lighter when I do close grip on the 2nd exercise so it should be a barn burner for sure. I believe my close grip is just as strong as my medium grip. In late Dec I believe I did 365 for a single and I know I am much stronger now. Tomorrow is a day off since the wifes works schedule is weird this week. Its a good thing as it will give me 2 days of rest before deadlifting again. Maybe try and do 625 for doubles or triples. That would be a 20 lb jump from last week. It all depends on how much weight falls off. If I lose another couple pounds before then it will be a challenge. It will be worth a try though. Ok everyone have a strong week ahead and get Strong AF!!!
@Roidrage I may have to try that medium grip also. My left shoulder can’t take it anymore.

I also suggest doing incline bench for pec mass gains. I'm only doing flat bench because it's one of the 3 lifts I have to perform in competition. I feel incline bench is the best mass gainer for bodybuilders for pecs. You also get good front delt and tricep gains as well.
 
I'll take that bet, lets see in 2 weeks :D @RoidRage69
Well the tendonitis didn't last long. Went away after using elbow sleeves on both push day and squat day. Seems like squats were the main culprit. People don't realize how much strain is on the shoulder and elbow while squatting.

I knew today was going to be a challenge considering I am 5 lbs lighter than last weeks deadlift session. I still got out my 3 reps with a increase in weight of 10 lbs on my two working sets. I think next week will be about the max I will be able to do this cycle for sets of 3. I dont feel like tapering atm so I think next week will be the final week of maximal lifts until the next strength cycle begins on June 1st. Of course everything is subject to change on a moments notice. Its how we operate. LOL Maybe I will still attempt a max of 675 at the end of April. All depends how I feel. This hip is just not cooperating and I feel its holding me back at least 5% most likely more. Every day its in pain after lifting lower body stuff. Hopefully the Month of May will allow it to heal when we lower weights by 10-15%. Ok everyone have a nice finish to the week. Will be back tomorrow to kill the back!!! Everyone get Strong AF!!!

Heavy weights put a lot of strain for sure.

@RoidRage69 615 is a very big lift, the best I've seen you do in a long time. :D
 
What time are you going? Your gym seems pretty empty. My gym is so packed. You got to wait, like 30 minutes to use the platform.
