deads sometimes feel like fishing to me. I can come back a week later with the same bait, same fishin' hole after catching a limit the week before, and not even get a bite today

Thanks. Was pleasantly surprised and feel the higher rep squats machines are paying off pretty well right now.You CAN get back on track! You know what to do.
Right. This past week came out of no where. Guess hard to really gauge overall strength with the higher reps I have been doing but it seems like it is working.good grief dude. 4% from your PR weight after the winter you've had? sounds pretty damn good to me

Left shoulder is a lot better and on track hopefully to start light barbell work early April. Lower back is back to 100% for the time being lolNice session! How are things feeling?
Good to hear, sounds like everything is healing up and you will be back to the BB before long!Left shoulder is a lot better and on track hopefully to start light barbell work early April. Lower back is back to 100% for the time being lol
I’m picturing 2 different people crammed into the belt squatting at onceOne of my gyms finally got a belt squat machine but been jammed packed the whole time. Hopefully once the newness wears off can get to use it.
I don't think he's going to a crossfit gym at the momentI’m picturing 2 different people crammed into the belt squatting at once

Conv are feeling pretty good right now and body is adjusting back to them pretty good. Plan was the last 2 weeks do sumo but if next week goes good might ride this block out in conv.
Thanks. Things have been clicking pretty good last couple of weeks.Nice looks like they are coming along good, lots of good work!
Dang man still pushed good weight with injury still lingering and a 10 week break. Sounds like a good plan holding off for full heal up. Judging by this session it won’t take you long to be back to previous numbers.March 19th, 2024 (Tuesday)

Left shoulder is still not 100% but has been 10 weeks since I touched a barbell and wanted to test things out. Was really happy since was expecting maybe 200-225lbs. If I pushed it probably had 270-275lbs in me today. Think this last little bit left to heal up will take some time so going to make a May date for the start of barbell work. Will start going a little heavier with dbls and hopefully when I do start barbell work again will only lose another 20ish off my bench.
that's fantastic!! 2024, another rebuilding year for us bothwas expecting maybe 200-225lbs. If I pushed it probably had 270-275lbs in me today.

Sometimes a little extra healing time does wonders for the body.March 26th, 2024 (Tuesday)

Might take tomorrow off if my energy still remains low. Had something come up so will be taking next week off so might end up with 2 week de-load.
I am sort of short, about 5' 7.5", so being over 200lbs is not good for me. When I was getting for ready for the meet in Nov and hit 185lbs had abs on some days and not on others. Had to guess probably at least 25% bodyfat and at my age not good.Damn and I thought staying at my current bodyweight until Aug 31st to go 242 while adding gear back in was ambitious! 20lbs is not playing around, that’s a full weightclass.
Nobody ever did big things setting small goals! If you are determined, you will make it happen - I have no doubt in youI am sort of short, about 5' 7.5", so being over 200lbs is not good for me.

it's crazy to me how much more hammy and glute engagement I get on RDLs when I add the band. it just YANKS on those glutes so much more than the RDL without it.RDL's, Banded;

I get this. even at 5'9" and change, being over 200lbs was the most fun I have ever had in my lifting career but my sleep quality was going to hell, I was getting winded too easy, clothes weren't comfortable.I am sort of short, about 5' 7.5", so being over 200lbs is not good for me.
