very nice work on pressdowns for me tonight…first time stepping it up to 2 doubled over supermini bands at 50” of stretch. Very happy.

But…..on the very last rep of my pressdowns I looked to the side and my necked popped. Its tweaked pretty good right now. Icing it as we speak. Hope I can still squat 2 morrow. Will see in morning after getting some heet on it before bed.

do those rags make it easier on your grip?? no chalk allowed i'm guess? Anyway PM if you want a couple recomendations on some little things that will help that deadlift keep going up.

Yeah they say no chalk, but I've seen a guy that works there deadlifting with chalk, so it's probably not a big deal. The towels (rags) work great for grip. Off to PM

Well, I kept my neck loose enough to squat tonight…but still have a sore throat (2 days now) and wife was on couch in pajamas sick when I made it home. Wasn’t feelin to hot either but that didn’t stop me.

First night going straps up with my new suit. Lot on my mind with new gear and partners that had never spotted that kind of weight before. I think I will make sure I schedule some experienced PL on next suit workout.

Due to not feeling well I cut it a short workout and didn’t complete workout…or even go heavy enough to hit depth with suit. Also need to extend the hooks on my monolift…with the extra weight causing bar to bend it wasn’t low enough

All in all crappy workout but I got a little bit of time in new suit so it wasn’t a total loss.

50x6
140x6x6
230x3
300x3
370x3
440x3 straps down
510x1 straps down belt on …nowhere near depth
600x1 straps up/belt
660x1 straps up/belt/wraps
700x1 straps up/belt/wraps
760x1 just a walkout.

All shallow, but the weights all felt easy.

Head wasn’t in game…
Body wasn’t in game….
Equals a workout that is Lame…

Later,
Kabuki

Went to bed early last night, which helped today. Took off from work early to run downtown to city office and get remodel plans approved. Went quick so I had time to work on some design features of rock buggy when I got home before training partners showed up to lift. All in all a very good day!

A big fat 1/2lb + burger with two huge thick slices of bacon and some chedder cheese, alongside a plate of French fries. My choice to eat that today for lunch today stood in between me and my lifting goals for the evening. I knew I shouldn’t let my coworkers coerce me into going to the burger place today…but I wasn’t strong willed enough.

My plan for the evening was to test out me new squat suit and see how it worked for deadlifting, and also test out my new shrug bar. Neither really happened.

BW upon waking 247.6

Deadlift (belt only @ 410+)
140x6x6
230x3
320x3
410x2
500x1 double overhand
590x1
640x1

Tried suit on but every time I went down to bar I felt like the burger was going to come back out. And started not feelin so good after a few attempts. Couldn’t even get intro proper position for conventional but I the sumo should work well…just not tonight!

Band Resisted Bench setups w/3 second pause at chest
2 sets of #3 bands x5x5x5

Pulldowns
#2 bands x 9x12x12

Bent over lateral raises
30x12
50x12x12x12

Had to change up program over the plan I had written out. I was planning on doing a lift using bands but with the broken large band I had to nix that plan.

140x6x6

I know partials are not impressive but no flicking me crap. I need to slowly get used to having heavy weight on shoulders again and do some squatting safely with a lack of spotters. So I did some partials suspended in chains. Nothing impressive…just playing around with weight and suit a little.

BW upon waking 246.4

Partial Squats
50x12
140x6x6
230x6
320x6
410x5 belt on
500x5
590x3
670x3
Suit on and dropped chain depth by another 3”
670x2
760x2
I added some bands as safety to hold plates on due to not trusting spring clamps…caused some bad harmonics on bar…but felt real easy…course it was as there was no depth :inger

Need a squat bar soon! And drive those damn knees out for Christ sake!

Suspended Good Mornings
140x6
230x6
320x6

look funny on video angle but were not sloppy at all.
