I really dont like Monday's especially rainy ones :(
Yeah. It is rainy here also.

I just try to keep it positive. I noticed it really has changed the way I live and even train. I have a hard time training with a negative attitude. Many are the exact opposite.

Deadlifts + pullups + band pullaparts/facepulls.

Going to deadlift today, 425 from a deficit for reps, better get at least 7....then some seated pressing and rows.

I can do 415 for reps, but I use a trap bar. probably a bit easier.

Ya, pretty much a different lift to be honest.

Hit 415x8 from a deficit Saturday.

I just enjoy the trap bar, its safer and it keeps the weight in the center of my gravity. Either way I am picking it up raw.

i dislike shrugs :/ mainly get my trap work in on upright rows. I would much rather do them on a trap bar tho i agree.

I like the trap bar better too. I have one at home that I bought. I've tweaked my back a couple times doing deads with a standard oly bar but never with a trap bar.

Thanks brah, back is my best attribute.

Definitely agree, it's still a good lift, just not much carry over to a barbell deadlift. I wouldn't necessarily call it safer, just usually less back rounding with the increased leg drive you are able to get. Which isn't a problem on barbell if you pay attention to form.

I haven't had the chance yet to try a trap bar, would definitely like to.

I love shrugs , but unfortunately my left shoulder is still a little messed up from a surgery:(. I've been doing a lot of upright rows myself on shoulder and back day

I have gotten better trap growth from deadlifting / pressing with heavier weights than I ever did from direct trap work :)

September first post a vid? We can keep going into the month as high rep pullups are always part of my training anyways.

Not sure where I'm at right now, I can blast through 15 speed reps after doing heavy weighted, so I should be good for a solid 20-25 right now.

Training vid from yesterday:

God Nom, and they were deficit too. I'm messing with 425x2 :(. I have my mcat on 9/2, but let's say 9/5 or 9/6 my vid goes up. Let's also do a 1 rep max with weights. My strength has been shooting up recently (thanks to you and your 5/3/1 recomendation)

435 deficit for reps next session...

Sounds good to me, I'll post whatever I get by that date. Obviously deadhang, chin over the bar; don't really care if you can't see everything, it's just a friendly contest.

Just got home from my wife's first NPC competition. Incredible turnout. My wife's class alone had 28 competitors.:eek: They only placed the top five and although my wife did get called out and was compared next to two of the girl's that placed, she wasn't one of top five. :( That's ok because she learned alot and got over all the competition jitters. She looked great and handled herself well. Funny cause just last year neither of us thought we would compete.
