My trunk is shaped like a keg with big arms, chest and shoulders. LOL. It probaby isn't as bad as it looks to me, or as good as you might imagine in your head. :D
I did my hour walk in the garage...

Keep that salt and water up, if you are sweating like usual and cut a couple hundred grams of carbs you might be feeling a touch of dehydration creep in also. Especially after puking a lot of what...
Notes- no injury pain, ankles, core and a few muscle groups are sore but it's not a bad soreness. Just worked a few things I haven't done anything for in quite a while. I feel dehydrated and low...
Did the planned workout, and got my mile and a half walk in afterwards. Only thing I didn't do was that trap bar deadlift final set. I'm already a bit sore overall and didn't want to push it. I...
I hope your kitties get to feeling better. We have our big Maine Coon cats inside and what I call our yard cats outside, that people have dropped off on our property, but we take care of them all...
I let my girl make a couple meals yesterday so I didn't get a accurate count. Rough estimate was 2800 calories and 200gm protein. I also had double sessions yesterday and did 10 total rounds on...
I love the thing. Can work deeper on bench due to the camber. Helps my wrist significantly with the more neutral grips. Not sure if it contributed a bit to this chest/coracobrachialis strain...

I agree. I was surprised how much of a difference it is. I’m going to start working on both. I do love the trap bar though. Got my form pretty dialed in with it and can do them with 100% comfort...
The Trapbar IS a good tool for total body development & strength, as it hits a lot and is fairly sparing to the back. It has its uses.
But there’s a reason people like Louie Simmons and Mark...
