Weights up, scales down…

lots of pause work going in here, seems like the nitty gritty good stuff. something about pause isn't something that I look forward to but man it always reaps rewards.

Facts! Pause squat and bench (both close grip and regular grip). Then deadlift is one heavy set then back off sets for speed work.

Be fun to see what 2 blocks of this will do!

i'm retarded so my last rep is always paused no matter what and I honestly dont even know why.

I’m awful about this; the only rep that needs to be paused ever is the first one, yet something stupid in my brain seems to think you get style points for finishing with a pause. When all it’s really doing is making the last rep slower!

yes that is exactly what I do 😂 😂
doesn't matter if its a set of 3, 5, 10, or 20. I always reset on that last rep and for whatever reason.....

Never-train-Thursdays Crew checking in!

I don’t have anything against them, but I think it’s been years at this point since I have. That’s my wife’s day to lift.
 
Nice work, crazy snow, and smart move bringing the treadmill inside.

Yeah cold here too. I was thinking to myself I’d like to get my Widegrip bench done in the garage on lunch break today maybe in the garage…then I remembered it’s low 20s. Windchill was at 8* when we went to school this morning.

Not having cost effective heat in the garage for winter is the entire reason I started going to the barbell club!

Have a look at this thing it could probably warm u a garage pretty quickly. it has 50,000-80,000BTU, good for up to 2000sq ft.

there used to be a dude here on AM that was squatting like 445 in his back yard in upstate new york in the snow. he'd have to shovel his back porch off to go out and squat. I think about him a lot and have never tried to be like him.

Beating your body into submission until it likes it! Thank you sir, may I have another?

I might force myself to do some cardio today too. Getting blood drawn, so don't want anything that will put too much pressure on the veins.
