e1rms are 9-18lbs off of my real 1RMs and 12-43lbs off of highest e1rms. feels good to be this strong on a every other day schedule. Once I start doing 1 work day for 2 rest days I should be able to set new PRs now that I'm gaining weight.

I've always been able to display strength better on lower frequency.

Impressive, @Gumboots!

[Gumboots]

Thanks man.
