Feeling very satisfied with this week of training.

Top sets from the past week ….

Back Squat - 295x1 (93% 1RM)
Bench Press - 210x1 (105% 1RM)
Deadlift - 445x1 (89% 1RM)
4x4 Assault Bike Intervals

Great HRV scores all week. My body isn’t feeling beat up from all the heavy work and my energy levels are consistent.

2 months no alcohol. It’s amazing how even a couple beers on the weekend can destroy sleep and training. Sobriety is a beautiful thing.

I feel sharper than ever as a coach. My excitement for my own training definitely bleeds into my excitement to coach.

Life is good.

What makes this bar so special and specific to deadlifts?

• More flexible than a standard power bar, so the bar bends first and the plates lift more gradually, giving a smoother “progressive” pull.
• Thinner (27 mm) than most power bars (28–30 mm), which adds flexibility and can make gripping easier, especially with a double-overhand hook grip.
• Longer sleeved, letting you load more plates (helpful with wider gym plates) and also contributing to that progressive pull.
• Special knurling, aiming for a mix of big knurl points with sharper tips for strong grip.
• Center-only knurling, so there’s grip for narrow hand placement without knurling along the shaft that could scrape your shins during the pull.

I have a personal goal to deadlift 3x my bodyweight. Still a ways to go, but this should help.

The first annual Training with Tyson Christmas Eve liftoff was a huge success!

I’m so proud of everyone for coming out and putting in a huge effort.

I’ve never run a mock powerlifting/weightlifting meet. Overall it went incredibly smooth.

I hit PR squat of 315lbs. I’ve been dreaming about 3 wheels for a long time. Over the moon about it. I was hoping for a 1000lbs total but was completely gassed by deadlifts. Attempted 465 and just knew I was toast after that. Only took 2 attempts. After my 460x4 PR last week I ordered a sumo deadlift bar. It hasn’t arrived yet but I might have had more luck with it today.

Regardless amazing day and an amazing group of people! No better way to start the holidays.

Back Squat - 315
Bench - 200
Deadlift - 405

Total - 920

Happy holidays!! See you in 2026 🎄🎅❄️☃️
