    Tossing Weight With Torobestia: Powerlifting Log

    Thanks. I did some research, and there is no sense that this is related to my low back but is related to glutes not firing either from a lack of activation or because of a muscle imbalance between hamstrings and glutes. I can buy it. Makes me feel slightly better about this.

    Thanks, Paul. Bad news is my left hip flexor is very sore today. The pain is reminiscent of how my lower back stuff all began. At least I see my chiro today.

    To add, I would not be explosive with your bench. May be an obvious point, and I apologize in advance if it is, but I thought I'd mention it. Coasting here may be appropriate here depending on the pathology of your pain.

    Damn, weird. I had a very good female friend go to UC Davis, too, for grad work to do frog research. That uni must be known for its environmental sciences. Also, nice word play.

    I don't know, honestly. It began with a case of bursitis but then something else clearly lingered around. Lots of issues I need to address at some point, but I literally can't afford to go to any of these last-straw type folks atm (e.g. Graston practitioners).

    Yeah. I've been doing some, but I ought to be doing even more, especially now that my body adapted to this type of work again.

    The High-Jinx Log: Celebrations of My Reincarnations

    Try flexing your calves at the bottom of the squat. It'll stimulate a response that may or may not help you come out of the hole. It'll all depend on how long your other lever is (if it's like @Invalid Link Removed 's). (not srs about flexing your calves)

    The High-Jinx Log: Celebrations of My Reincarnations

    Hahaha. I guess you knew where I was going with this line of questioning. Sean, better be careful with that exertion. Might end up having to need a doctor to prod around the nether-regions for hemorrhoids or worse.

    The good news is you have a massive penis. The bad news is that your penis is made up entirely of penis cancers.

    Probably not too terrible. 625-635 seems reasonable.

    Damn, I wonder if that would be useful for me and all the lab work I do.

    Tossing Weight With Torobestia: Powerlifting Log

    Thanks, herder. My OHP has always been pretty garbage, even before my injuries/hiatus from lifting, so this is part is encouraging. I don't know what I'm going to do exactly about my flat bench yet, though, but I hope I figure something out or things fall into place themselves. I'm hoping the...
