I also use it as my alarm to wake me up in the AM to workout, since I get up before everyone else in the house and don't want to wake up my wife. So the buzz on my arm does the trick! You could... -
Yeah, I am weird a watch on my arm feels like I am shackled when I sleep. I thought of maybe an aura ring at one point, but as Dustin and I have mentioned I feel I would think it was supercool for...
-
And to be clear, my lower motivation recently was only work related. Not gym related! [emoji28] I have no issues motivating myself or having discipline when it comes to lifting or working out...
-
That's correct. I wear my fitbit at night so it records both my sleep cycle information and my daily readiness score, which is based on a few factors - including resting heart rate, sleep duration...
-
I fully relate to this... lol na I'm the same way entirely. I gotta force myself in to do most things, be it a simple training session, or yard work. but dang it feels good when you follow...
-
Forgive my ignorance here, but do you wear your watch all night or an aura ring or something to gather the readiness score or how does that work. Just curious, how it knows how ready for the day...

fancy!

Those shoes look great.🔥

Thank you, brother. Yes! Two weeks now! Still planning the itinerary. On a separate note, my new Notorious Lifters just came in and they look fantastic! I'm super stoked to test them out. The...

Are you guys still planning out the Yellowstone trip this fall?

I had a long drive home last night and was thinking about your back issues a lot. I think mainly cause the pain region is so similar to where my worst was. I truly think if you keep working at it...
-
Good squats! Glad the bump in dosage is helping some of the afternoon fatigue. It can be hard trying to stay out of the overthinking getting in your head!

Perspective is all over the place at the moment. Life stuff at home. Going to try and put it aside. Squat Day - 3s Warm up routine. RDLs: 1" bar x 10 +20x8,8 BB squats: 45x10 75x8 95x6...

Yeah, I almost did that instead yesterday. Just some light KB / DB RDLs work. But opted to hit some back and Biceps instead. Ended up deciding that the best course for me this AM was to live to...

you gotta do you bro, only you truly know what the heck is going on inside your body but I can tell you in MY experience the two best things when the pain is in that area you just described are...
-
Don’t do it tomorrow if you’re squatting for real Thursday. You could either add a couple deload sets then, or just skip entirely. Depends on your time, energy & preparedness. If you do any, don’t...
-
Yeah this is a functional deload on deadlift either way so at least it doesn’t slow down your return to regular weights when it’s time.
-
FWIW if that lower back flares up or you feel inclined to get some more prehab type work on it you could do the RDL's with the KB's and DB's you have available.
-
Traveling for work and an all-day meeting plus work social / dinner after yesterday. No time for a workout due to my schedule. At least I slept half decent in the hotel last evening. This AM's...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.True. Meet was a mess and figured by now would be back on track. Think just stuck in a weird phase in general right now. Energy level is running so low.

I need to fish around and see if we have an SSB bar in our newly remodeled gym. we have so many other toys, I bet we do... I was thinking the same thing. bro is repping 275 on bench and casually...

Still a strong workout, especially for your “lifts to be in the dump.”💪😎
-
Definitely fixes a lot of the problems with keeping the bar in place! It’s harder to get under and out of as load goes up, but no more blacking out or choking, harder to roll forward/drop, and...

dapack replied to the thread DaPack..Fighting Age One Day at a Time.Feels good. Still dealing with a little pain, specially first thing in the morning, but once warmed up feels good.

How does the back feel after that hi bar work?

Those looks pretty fresh! I'm always looking for an upgrade to my shoe game, something that I can put time in casually or also at work on a dress down day. Will be curious what the more "dress"... -
thanks dude, and yeah its sorta wild to think this old machine is 30+ years old and runs like a champ!
