Rob112^3...That means cubed guys. See what I did?

Awesome conversation with that guy, Rob. I may try the Micromini sometime. I've been using a band around the knees for KB Goblet squats. Good work dude

At good call, could use it as a part of the warm up as I sometimes get the goblets in preworkout
 
I've noticed quite a big difference personally with banding the knees & getting my @ss firing in the squat - they are quickly becoming a favorite accessory
 
The band around the knees squat sounds like something I need to do, I don't think my glutes fire as early as they need to which is why my hips sometimes shoot back a bit.
 
Hitting the gym later. Arm feels good, but I am still gonna not do reverse band squats. Thinking SSB with chains...maybe even some belt and wraps action. Could be interesting.

Oh yea, go mother****ing giants!!!

This was brutal at the top of the movement. Bottom wasn't too bad, but like the last 6 inches...yea I said it...were hard as ****(zing). Really had to lock up the back. I think this achieved what I wanted: overload at the top and no discomfort to the arm. Set up was kind of rough. You can see the chains swing on the lockout since I don't have them touching the ground.

was going to go up here and the phone rang. My daughter was having issues....****. She is fine, just sucks to cut short. Of course family first...only reason I was like "dammit" is because I have been really strapped for time, stressed, and this was my release. I may do a small session Sunday morning to finish this and maybe some upperback/arm work.

Back at it tomrrow!

Thats all she wrote. That was much better block pulling this week. Getting some decent beltless numbers on accessory movements. Bench felt a little off. I feel like I couldn't get my heels down.

That's all I got. Thanks for reading!
 
Block pulls looked a little wonky. Like you were losing tightness or something.

Bench looked great though. You said it felt off, but I thought you were getting some sick pop off the chest.

Lol'd @ "chain bench > kickbacks"

Good stuff rob.

It is hard to stay tight. I noticed that too. It is all back to start it at that part of the pull. Good eye.

Thanks man..

And I am the truth speaker!
 
I agree with L&S, bud. Your bench looked pretty sound, the block pulls wanted to take your back out of position. Which is pretty typical of heavy block pulls. AND especially so without a belt.

I remember that being the case when I did them weekly, they really taught me the importance of maximum back tightness, so as to best transfer force to the bar.

Good points dadudemanherderdude. I could actually feel it happening, not like "unsafe" feeling, but the bar wanting to take my tightness.

Yeah I don't think it's unsafe unless your core is really weak or you suck at bracing. I think it could be good for your erectors.
 
nah, pretty sure I broke my finger and didn't sprain it. no X-rays and it's better now. You're good dude. I'm pretty much a doctor now. Spray some joint force on it and compress it lol

A clip that holds a panel on a wall broke and dropped the wall of wood on my fingers. Pretty dumb maneuver

Sh1t, man. I hate freak accidents like that. I had a bunk of 4x4's bust open and fall on my toes. My big toe was hanging on by only skin.

Anyways, do what you can in the gym. A lot of SSB work is not a bad thing!

That's rough! Holy crap.

Thanks brother
 
Get those versa grips I think they're called? Probably could press with that finger splinted and taped to another and kept straight, light press but still press.

Definitely man, don't need you hurting it more by pushin it. Might let you pull some light pulls though. I would try some substitute with some machine work make for hip extension for at least the first few weeks. You can def do a light open. Hand bench too.
