The upgrade is huge and a lot of the ingredients require a sophisticated new absorption enhancement technique that we are perfecting. I'm shooting for Summer.
Probably can't still squat 500, but with a little dedicated strength training (largely to nail technique under near max loads) I'd feel confident that I could still handle mid-4s on the back squat.
The lying leg curl is set up the same way as well as the prime row that I've been using.
Prime Pec Deck is cable, but also let's you do some adjusting for where the tension curve lies.
Another productive day in the books. Man strength is way down, hard to believe how much work a lot of this is now.
Most of these sessions are movement, and me just working on firing the muscles...
That’s awesome man….great workout. It’s great to see everything continuing to progress so well. It really is wild how good you feel after the “torture collar”. When you’ve hurt and been limited...

It's plate loaded is why lol. I had long since maxed out the Arsenal cable, and the Prime feels way better on the knees, but it does mean I have to lug a bunch of plates around.
Had a great visit at the chiro, got a massive pop out of my thoracic right where it is tightest. Slight soreness from it this morning but it was freeing when it happened. Also had a lot more pops...
Weight & reps are important, but the most important thing on the lying leg curl IMO is the contraction. You know when you hit them sufficiently with it, and something like an RDL will take care of...
Decent night's sleep last night (which for me is anything around 6 hours). Woke up feeling a little groggy/fatigued, but had shaken that by the time I got to the gym after walking the dog and...
As long as "strength loss" is mostly due to changes in leverage and not actual muscle tissue loss things should be good, and set you up for a serious rebound. :)
The prospect of losing 25lbs is intimidating! I know I can do it, but what it will do to my strength I’m not sure. I know I can get it back regardless eventually though, so I’ll need to remember...
By the way @Dustin07 I have to give you credit man. You are one of those sharks, you never stop moving, and it seems you are always doing something very productive. Not just spinning your wheels...
Yes, the improvements have been life changing. As I believe most of us try to do, I have played down the effect this has had on me just in general life. I think in some ways I even lost track of...
Oh yeah, not so much a good note, but funny. My wife saw me stretching and kind of side eyed me. I looked down at my legs and while still defined they have atrophied from this time period over the...
Think that definitely happens. I also can just like feel the "tired" in my arthritic knees. Hopefully nothing a good night's sleep can't help resolve. Got legs tomorrow so need to rest up lol.
I tend to notice that more these days that as I lean up, I think you lose some fat padding in the feet. of course there is muscular soreness from just using them, but I do feel like the bottoms...
