I was able to increase weight on a few lifts today so I’m pleased with the workout despite feeling off a bit. [emoji123]
Weight = 196
Sleep = 7 1/2 hours
Twinged my right knee doing the Reeves deadlift. I think my feet were too close together. I’m sure it will heal in a few...

Purple or Pinà Colada?

It sounds like you have a busy life. That can be a blessing and a curse.
Good luck on the stim avoidance...

“HMB (short for β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine that, along with KIC (α keto-isocaproate) and isovaleryl-CoA, mediate the effects of leucine. Approximately 5% of dietary leucine is oxidized into HMB, and HMB appears to be the...

Another great workout in the gym today!
Had some fun trying to squat using an Olympic bar after a few months off. Felt burning on my neck on the first rep so passed on that and did some Bulgarian split squats for the first time. Those are literally a kick in the butt...
No surprise. Amazon has them. Amazon has everything. They come in colors black and blue! [emoji23]

I use Nordic Lifting shoes. They have about an inch wedge at the heel and 1/8 inch at the toe. It allows me better balance and keeps my back in a straighter line to hopefully avoid injury.
Of course, I started lifting a year and a half ago with my old ratty flat foot Fila running shoes...

DB (70 lbs) hammer grip bench press is getting easier! Looking forward to hopefully moving up to 75 lb DB in a week or two! I can feel my upper pecs getting larger. It’s been months since...
Sorry to hear about your hammy, hairygrandpa. I’ve been nursing a torn hammy for a month. Just when I think it’s better, I turn a corner walking and BAM, it goes weak again. It’s not painful any more, just annoyingly weak.
At my age these things take a longer time to heal. The good news is, I...
Hey Stacey,
Since you enjoy the punching bag so much, I recommend getting your own pillow punchers. There’s no good reason to share sweat with strangers.

Thanks Studhorse ! [emoji2]
Kickbacks! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I like the way my triceps look in the mirror when doing kickbacks! But I agree that the benefits don’t seem to be as pronounced as the close grip bench press and power bombs.
I do exercises that don’t hurt my shoulders. So, I...
Hey Oconns28
I hurt my lower back squatting a few months ago. It took me about 10 days before I could do anything back related. I eased in with low weight (~50 lbs) goblet squats. If I felt any pain in that area, it was time to stop.
It’s okay now, but I don’t squat anymore. Goblet squats...
