Just finished some excellent pizza after a hard workout and pretty tough yard work. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m done “cutting” for now, at least in the sense of the standard 500 kcal...
Sounds like you have a good plan and are executing well. Very curious to see how things go over the next few months. I assume you are lean bulking your way up as high as you can get without adding...
100%. A big part of my rehabbing back was working back up to heavy RDLs and 45 Degree hypers. The spine will never be as stable as it once was, but I can build every fucking muscle around it until...
L5 is wher all my serious damage is, posterior work is a non negotiable for me, if I am not deadlifting or at least hitting RDLs I will develop back pain, if I have back pain, those RDLs always...
Not that I do, but ever since I tore my left adductor some I lack hip internal rotation there even worse. It is impossible to squat to depth really without a significant knee angle outwards...
Might give it a shot. Coach wants these done with a more posterior focus anyway, so I had my foot way up on the platform and kept vertical shins.
The nerve damage is at my L5 and S1 nerve roots...
I can currently do lighter SS with RFE and lunges, but for the record when they hurt I could still get away with some front foot elevated split squats sometimes.
So that could be something to try...
Yeah, had hoped doing them on the pendulum would help, but no dice. Knew I couldn't do a regular BSS or split squat from past experience, but figured I'd give that a try this week and see how it went.

Pendulum Split Squat: 50 x 15, 70 x 12, 100 x 10 (gonna talk to my coach about subbing these out, they cause a lot of nerve...
If you’re getting nerve pain, it can’t work for hypertrophy because you’re going to do far under what the muscle has potential for, so makes sense to me.
New Upper day this morning. Felt pretty solid. Wanted to do machine flat press, but motherfuckers were over there baby guarding the goddamned thing this morning and I got tired of waiting.

Diet all out of whack last week, and weight ballooned up to about 195 this morning. Just a combination of social events (couple of birthday dinners) and way too many client/work dinners through...
