Here is the part of the video where Taubes talks about those regions I mentioned, although the whole video is worth watching. I've done keto twice and it is effective but tough sledding at first. I just couldn't stay on it long enough to get the full benefit. I think the best strategy is to gradually scale down your carb intake, especially considering insulin's effect on hunger and energy. | ||

According to CICO, the form of the energy source is mostly irrelevant and obesity is a disease of consuming too many calories. 3kCals of carbs or fat shouldn't make a difference.

Keto is endurance suicide, so I couldn't do full Keto. I could definitely scale back carbs though. | ||

No sure how effective they are for elbow pain while benching tho. | ||

You can do a bit of it before benching, or just the rotation back and forth without the pails/rails a bunch to get warmed up. Spend more time on it at the end of your workout hitting it harder. | ||

Only thing that worries me is that I've had two days where on a pull it felt not so great, twingy esque, in my hammy. Is that something to be worried about? I'd rather not suffer a hamstring tear. Bracing and such is getting much better, I'm not leaving DL days with a sore or exhausted back so between that and thinking less of pull and more of push the floor away plus hip hinge seems to be keeping me from trying to do the lift with my erectors. | ||

Sorry I didn't reply much to your comments to my videos.. thanks so much for the advice!! Unfortunately I've been traveling in the past 7-10 days, so not much chance to go to the gym (luckily I can run wherever I want, so I'm doing something).. I'll go back to what you suggest once I'll have the chance to test your suggestions directly at the gym.. Next week the ski season will start  so the gym will be interrupted at least until January, more updates then I hope..(I must say, I'm sooo much more excited for ski than I'll ever be for gym - sorry!) Have nice holidays and a good winter break everyone ! | ||

I've been at enough meets where hard competitors with form not good enough to push through end up doing bad things lol, but all things considered, boundary pushing is what getting stronger is all about it. I *think* it is. I'll be getting into some triples over the next few weeks on bench/deadlift, so I'll try to see how those feel and how technique is holding up. I'd be thinking to take a very easy opener, like something I've done for a triple, then move up to something I'm quite confident I could do for a double, and then if everything really goes well shoot for an estimated max from a calculator...unless you guys think there are better ways to plan it. | ||

Dont be a little bitch. PRs or die YOLO (you only lift once) But really, opening with a weight you can triple is probably overly conservative. | ||

Depends how far you are into your "lifting career" and whether you're feeling good day of, I think. It's pretty common advice for beginners at their first meet to open with something they could triple. Nerves, new environment, potentially a weight or water cut if you're into that.... lots of things to go wrong, and you don't want to bomb out. Open conservative - if it feels like a bad day warming up, then do something you think you can triple. If everything feels good, then something you think would be a double. Second attempt you can shoot for that calculated 1rm and then either take that again for the third if it doesn't go up, or chase a real strong PR on the third if you lock down the second. For example my last "mock meet" I had calculated 1rms of 405/265/480 for squat/bench/dead. The thing about calculated 1rms is if you're basing them off anything more than a double/triple and you dont regularly get any really heavy work in, you're just not going to be prepared. You're not going to be able to "use the strength you have" without a technical breakdown getting in the way and robbing you of some pounds, if that makes sense - or at least that's what I chalk my results up to. I hit 385 and 415 on squat and missed an overly ambitious 445. 385 is a double for me on a bad day, 415 is technically a PR. Bench is very inconsistant for me. I hit 240, which on a bad day with no spotter I triple, and I might hit for 5 with a good lift off. I missed 270 for technique reasons, and decided to jump 10 pounds anyway. Probably a bad decision, but I hit it (280). By deadlifts I was worn out (we'd been going for over two, almost three hours), and I wasn't properly peaked (been doing two months of hypertrophy work with no heavy pulls from the floor) so I opened a very conservative 405, which two months before I'd have hit for 7 or more. It felt heavy but I pulled it. did 455 which felt exactly the same. Went for 505 which would have been a 20 pounds (or 5%) PR on my all time best and missed it. Just one example of attempt selection. Fwiw boris sheiko (big time russian powerlifting coach) gives the general recommendation (some variance for his personally trained lifters of course, but you get what you pay for) to open at 95%, take a second at 100%, and a third at 105%. That's using projected 1rm for new lifters, and actual tested 1rm for more advanced lifters. If you miss a lift just take that number over again rather than trying to move up - he's all about "building the total" not about chasing a big PR in a specific lift. Most importantly though GL HF. I'm doing my first "real" meet on may 12th. | ||
