Looks like 465. That's a respectable dead lift.
Back in my youth. We always gauged where we were by adding 10 pounds for every rep we could do at a certain weight. If/when you’re doing this for a set of 5, you should be at your goal. Visualizing yourself lifting 500 pounds over and over also helps.I'm aiming for 500 lbs. hopefully within the next month or two. Though I think I need to hit more calories for these heavy lifts!
There was guy who trained with us. This back in the 90s. Who would always place in the top 5-10 in the Mr. Olympia. He ate at specific times of the day like that. And he carried a tackle box full of supplements he had alarms set on his watch for taking.I shared an office with a body builder once (boy, he hated that phrase!). Used to eat lots and at various specific times of the day. Kept going on about "amino" tablets, which I assue is a thing.
All sounds so familiar - my yarn was from the 90s too. The guy's chest was huge, I mean you had to do a double take everytime he found an excuse to take his shirt off, but the challenge/ difficulty of course is maintaining it. Stop the body building and the muscle turns to fat. Then you've got a problem.Back in my youth. We always gauged where we were by adding 10 pounds for every rep we could do at a certain weight.

And yeah, tons of calories will help a lot. As well as getting a lot of good sleep.

That. And for people like me who were in powerlifting. My knees and shoulders are paying for it now.

Ahh, Photoshop könnte das beheben....the signs of wear on the pot appear stronger and the reflection is less clear.
Indeed, but isn't it the signs of wear that make things dear to us (and our physiognomies more interesting)?Ahh, Photoshop könnte das beheben.

Completely off-topic remark: I like this interchange a lot - you never know who knows what (Jim's suddenly appearing mastery of my mothertongue!), and then Walter turned the whole thing into something philosophical ... great to watch, thanks, guys!Indeed, but isn't it the signs of wear that make things dear to us (and our physiognomies more interesting)?
Hardly. Six months as a US Army private in Ludwigsburg in 1967-68 made me a master of nothing except maybe goldbricking. I picked up a little hanging out with a local DJ, but I still have to consult Google Translate more times than not. Anyway, ich entschuldige mich dafür, dass ich nicht bei dem Thema bleibe.Jim's suddenly appearing mastery of my mothertongue!
