It really is. The only downside is what do you eat when you don't have access to cook? I may find out today. I have chicken amd broccoli prepared but I usually cook it in a a skillet and add avocado and egg, and sometimes cheese.
 
Deload week so I decided to sleep in until 3:50 today. No clue what I'll do, but I'll avoid anything that causes pain and really try and burn some calories.

Ya, not worried about it. For whatever reason I've always monitored it.

I took another rest day. I have to drive a new person around today (one day only) and I don't want to be sluggish at all. Gonna jump into singles tomorrow.

Friday - Saturday night I'm going to the hunting camp to play with the big truck and assist in a camp work day. I guess I need to pre cook burgers or something. I'm not going to be able to stop and cook every meal.

Also, I need to look into ways that I can sleep comfortably that prevent me from rolling onto my left side That's the side that has the bicep pain and shoulder issue. It has to be the cause.

what was all the 'testing' for?

The iOS app now allows for signatures to be shown within the app. The signatures reset at a default "sent on my blah blah blah". The copy and paste of my previous sig showed the same on web view but not mobile-app view.

And thanks. The down time seems to have benefited my arm. We'll see today.
 
Been a good week of meals. These are my last two nights eats:

The guy that rode with me yesterday was a (top heavy) gym fanatic. We were talking about our preferred training, and he said "I don't know why deadlifts are so popular these days. They don't do anything for you". He also said he squats 'around' the same weight as me but his leg press max is 600. That doesn't jive either.

Lol. People like that make me laugh. I think I could leg press 600x1 in high school..
Click to expand...

My 14 yo leg presses close to that. lol
 
Really?


I doubt I leg press that much. Maybe you guys should work on ROM or something.


When I used to leg press (which was never often) I can't think of too many times past high school that I went that heavy on them, or was even able to.

Never felt it in my quads when the weight was too high anyway.

Yes.

Nothing wrong with my LP ROM.

I used to do them all the time. Looking back through my log I could do 600x10 before I ever squatted >225 at parallel.
 
Just trying to say that if someone can squat 400-500 lbs they can probably get a little more out of a leg press then 600x1. I don't do leg press often any more, but when I do it's normally 400-500 lbs for 10-15 reps. The ROM is fine. I get a nice quad pump, which is all the leg press is useful for, imo.
 
Makes u think how many other misinformed mofos in the gym look at us deadlifting and be like... Why?!?! What's with that wide asss deadlifts that Asian guy doing. Lookin like an ape.
 
I can squat mid 400 and do not for a second believe I could do much more than 600 x 1 on leg press.

I leg pressed 405 for sets when I was squatting 415, but that's a long way from 600.

But you don't do them. It's very popular in my commercial gym, and it's not that hard to progress on them IMO. I also did them years and years before I ever squatted my first rep. A lot do.
 
All legpress are not the same. I would have to put 10 plates a side on the one at the commercial gym for a heavy set of 8 if I recall right. That's 900, + a claimed sled weight of ~140. Meanwhile the other gym I trained at I loaded 6 100lb plates on and it felt harder than 1040 or w/e at the commercial gym. I always lower til my upper quads are smashing my gut.

None of that, however, changes the fact that this bro is a Half-Rep Harry lol
 
Half-Rep Harry is hilarious

Steak, bay scallops, shrimp, some veggies, and horseradish mixed with low sugar ketsup (cocktail sauce).

Speaking of bay scallops, the season starts early July. Gonna go snorkel for them for a week.
 
That looks gooooood! Suggest staying away from high fructose stuff. Usually the sauces contain this ingredient. Fructose metabolizes in the liver right into fat.

It's in the horseradish but not in the (low sugar) catsup. Only 10g of that, so shouldn't contribute much. My diet is limiting enough right now, I can't be anal about everything unhealthy. lol

Thanks for looking out Mark.

Please check my form herderdude and anyone else.

My grip pad needs replacing. Flaring my elbows out more are out of the question. That squeeze I do with my lats that brings my elbows in is the only way to not hurt my bicep.

Best sausage I ever had. On top of that its carb free.
 
One thing I immediately notice is you keep relaxing your heel drive as you lower the bar, which in turn lowers your chest and lengthens your stroke. Use leg drive as you pull the bar down to have your chest up to meet the bar. THEN be driving as you press as well. It's like pushing your knees out on squat - you want to do it on the way down as well as the way up.

Always wanna be tight and engaging the heels. As DMX so succinctly put it, "Keep yo' sh!t tha hardest".

Thanks Hyde. I didn't feel any leg drive today. At one point I think I even moved them mid press.
 
Just watched the vid and thats the big thing i noticed too (not keeping the leg drive the whole time). And also, i dont think you need to flare anymore than what you are...looked fine to me in that regard, especially if it keeps you pain free.

JR, I mentioned in Jswains log a couple weeks back about this local kid w a ~550 raw bench that came in to get ready for his first local strongman show. I was benching that day and he was looking at my bench as I got up to ~92% and he mentioned that if anything I should flare less. He basically said the flare is only a last ditch ace combined with a fade back over your head on a max effort attempt, but basically you wanna keep everything tight and lined up to get the best power transfer in general.

That kid is a freak, but he has trained with some pretty good lifters and he's doing something right obviously. And whenever I keep from flaring as soon as it feels heavy I tend to be able to keep driving the bar better fwiw.
