Ran out of my 200mg DIM that I take year round, so I took 12.5mg Aromasin yesterday. Still, by end of Sat I was feeling some nipple sensitivity, and I hadn’t even taken my daily test/trest. So... -

Spot on. The challenge was certainly not pulling 225 off the floor - it was trying to finish 300+ at the top with my tight elbow lol. To be clear, this was just a random attempt, not a set. And...

Only problem with banded rows is that the weight jacks up at the part where you're already weakest, so it doesn't really match the strength curve of the muscle super well.
-
Bands are mainly good if you are lifting too slowly - they will punish you if you cruise & reward high rate of force production. If you find yourself grinding slower on the big 3, running a wave...
-
No prob bro. They can be an ass kicker!
-
Thanks for reminding me of banded speed DL’s, I think that could help me break a plateau.

Man my step daughter called me one time while I was working out. She had a flat tire so I had to change it. Good work considering the interruption. I need to try the banded rows. I do a lot of...

That’s what you call an Opportunistic Lifter.😎
-
Me neither, but the new guy was doing his speed deadlifts so it was right there for the taking!
-
Yeah, I definitely don’t trust those jacks. I’ve never tried a barbell row with bands either, but it definitely makes sense, and would take momentum out of the equation making rows tougher for sure.💪
-
dude I barely trust any jacks tbh. getting under hydraulic lifts gives me the absolute creeps. never thought about adding a band on rows 😂
-
Also, tried to barbell row 225 against double minibands run across the platform, but when the bands kicked in I couldn’t pull it to my stomach. But at least we gave it the ol’ college try 😝

The way this week is going will be: Sun - OHP Mon - squats Weds - rest Thurs - bench Fri - deadlifts Sat - rest Sun - OHP So my thinking was that probably Thursday then would be the "off" day...
-
Or maybe you do the curls every day except before deadlifts? But overall then you would have 3 curl exposures a week at least, which is more than now so perfect step up.

It was honestly really fun, it felt good, intentional, and was shockingly short for how successful it felt in terms of hitting goals. Been thinking a lot about how the one thing that isn't...

That’s definitely a huge shoulder day. Working on those boulders.💪

Man that whole session was like 45 minutes and felt awesome. I don't see 417 bench at the end of this but who am I to argue [emoji23][emoji23]

Happy Anniversary, and that’s great that you guys are in a position that she was able to resign, and be able to enjoy your homestead more. It’s a big adjustment when you go to one income, but when...

M5, Wk1, D4 Light day this AM as I had to keep the total load on my spine to a minimum. Left elbow was also really bugging me today, even on the facepulls. Not sure what that's about... Heavy...

Yeah, unfortunately this is legit. I don't let it keep me fully out of the gym, but do have to modify my workouts until I'm back to normal. It's some type of muscular strain, worse when I twist...
