Went to Walmart this morning and grabbed Arnold's pump product, just because it's so cheap. If my bicep pain comes back I'll know the pump contributes. Maybe the mobility work will prevent it anyway.

Saw this kid at work shaking up some of that stuff and he said he bought it for the same reason (cheap) but you have to take 3 scoops to get anything so it's kind of a wash lol. Said it was alright stuff though.
That stuff is legit. Good for bp reduction too, and bedroom winning.

Ha! I'm out. I haven't ordered any because i wanted to take a break to see if the pump contributed to the arm pain. I knew I wouldn't stop if I had any on hand.
1 scoop did absolutely nothing. I got no more a pump than a normal no-pump-supp WO.

I'm really glad you've found away to manage and prevent your pain while training. I know too many guys that basically give up progressing because they're being held back by issues that are totally in their power to overcome - things like bicep tendonitis and minor shoulder impingements. I have a buddy I talked to last night that would rather complain than put the work in to get healthy.

I almost posted that these are easily becoming one of my favorites. I can instantly feel it targeting the top and top rear of my delts.
The mobility work I do, almost daily, takes up a lot of time that I could be doing lifts that I miss. However, it's totally worth it. That's why I stayed and did the super d work after frying my shoulders.

Been out of cable, Internet, and home phone for 6 days now. Finally I got a tech out today. He blamed lightning and the installer, then passed the buck to another guy. He just showed up and said his end is fine, has no clue what the other guy was talking about.
So...
Also, pool pump went out an hour ago but the pool store is closed. I guess I'll come home early tomorrow and replace that.
On the bright side, I'm one back exercise away from squat singles. That's a plus.

It's Hayward, and it is the motor. Bearings went out a while back and I didn't replace them.

Super D is always before. It's an activation and joint centration routine to get everything firing in concert. Try it like that next time.

I always do it before. This was the first time I did it afterwards, and I figured doing it would be beneficial for RC work.
Is it pointless afterwards?

No, it can help if your shoulder feels out of place Or pinching anywhere, But the benefits it provides really lend themselves to pre training.

Would you say the same applies to ShouldeRok? Is it pointless, per se, on leg day?

Opening up and Warming up the shoulders and upper back before squatting can be very beneficial for getting your set up with the bar on point imo

Slow start this morning. I just wasn't feeling it.
I dumped 3 scoops of the Arnold Pump in a cup, but as I was reading the profile I noticed it didn't disclose how much caffeine was in it. I didn't want to risk over DMaxing it with my STIMUL8 too. Maybe tomorrow.
Somehow I busted a vessel in my left eye yesterday. Odd, on shoulder day. Hopefully tomorrow's squats don't make it worse.
Good lifting everyone!

They likely weren't the prettiest reps. Between dead lifts and rowing, I think my back may be the biggest improvement over the last year.

The app I use to log my exercises calculates what my calculated 1RM is for that current session. It assumes my max single is 116.67.
To do the Meadows' banded, I put two hex DBs outside the bottom of the chest supported T bar machine and use them to wrap the bands around.

If you think about it next time, video these Meadows using the t-bar machine. When I travel some of the gyms have a t-bar machine but not a floor mounted piece for a barbell. Doing them your way would help when I want to do some meadows while traveling.

I like the other way too, but this way it's either to add bands and the end doesn't spin.
Will do man. I almost took a picture today, but I'll video next time.

New pump motor is installed. Unfortunately, it's cycling on and off. I can't find a pressure switch adjuster like on a well pump. The store has closed, so I'll call tomorrow.
I had to replace the junction and switch boxes, too. They were rigged.
Tomorrow is squat singles. I'm tempted to stay at 405 to get faster at them and hopefully import be the motion, lean, and confidence. We'll see what my ego says.

That's a great idea. Problem is, I sometimes don't always know why I'm doing wrong till you guys see it.
Going for:
-1 finger narrower grip with elbows pressed forward
-Big air unrack
-3 steps walkout (dominant leg 1, then non-Dom, then adjust once if needed
-Big air
-Release hips and drop relatively fast to save energy
-screw feet (hard for me)
I have a tendency to focus on one thing at a time tho, so multiples would be best.
Pump is working. Thanks Turff for making me look again.
