Yes, getting fully loaded before you unrack is key. Like you said, it will feel radically lighter if this has been done. Then 2 steps to set feet, root them, more air down into the diaphragm/back... -
I would say the bracing is key for sure. He should be completely braced before he ever breaks the bar loose from the j-cups, It is much harder to recover an unstable barbell on your back than it...

Yeah, a lot of studies for fitness and performance based stuff seem to be behind the "bro-science" curve. I feel like a lot of what we are learning is really just proving pre-existing bro-science... -

not totally related but I was telling my wife last week I don't remember the last time I saw a scientific study that impressed me or seemed counter intuitive to real life. Bro science is funny...

I think there is some collagen action that increases with heavy holds, but I don't remember for certain.

I don't know the science behind it but always gave credit to really heavy holds when I was rehabbing (in addition to the very light RDL's of course). super high position barbell holds/shrugs, any...

Yes, I definitely think that incorporating carries into my recovery is going to be important. As you may have seen some light carries are already being done and this garage reorg was a HUGE test...

I can't help but think that kind of stimulus should be really good for you, cautiously holding very heavy things. Maybe slow progression of farmers carries could help drive that heavy weight...

Awesome, I will definitely look into it, it sounds like it should be helpful. Yesterday was a long day for me. I rearranged my garage gym trying to make room to do a few things Sunday. I worked...

Thanks @Hyde I think I am going to get some and see how things go. It seems like it should address a lot of my current issues. Plus if it can help with my gut, I will be happy. My gut ain't quite...

KLOW has the 4th compound, KPV, added to the mix for gut health. I have never used KPV or KLOW blend - only GLOW. YOU should probably use KLOW.

Congrats on that PR, hopefully the knee recovers very quickly and completely!

What an awesome weekend! Going to be a regular there before long!

Glad the knee and bicep tendon eased up. I hope they’re not too pissed off now. Good lifts and great progress has been made while cutting to 100kgs. How many weeks out are you for the meet?

Sounds like a lot of fun. Congrats on the PR!!!
