    Stronger Than the Day Before

    No problem. I didn't invent the concept, by any means, it's just what I call them in order to get peoples' minds off of what they normally think a "plank" is. Especially the girl I'm training, because we're both ex-mil and we have planks drilled into our minds as a very specific movement (or...

    You live in MD? Every time it snows here the state turns into a joke. People don't know how to drive, **** closes down... I'm from Michigan though, so I might be biased.

    I'm intrigued by your rear delt flyes - how are you performing these? Seems like a lot of weight.

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    Sorry for the lack of activity/updates; work has been busy and I actually took on a "client" who I am training. She's an old work-mate of mine who used to be in the Marines and in phenomenal shape. She's put on some weight and has been having some personal issues so we're back in the gym to get...

    I feel there is. I would like to be able to knock out a set of 10 pullups where my chest touches the bar; having strength through that extreme ROM at peak contraction would help in that regard.

    Stronger Than the Day Before

    You know, they were surprisingly hard with relatively light weight (70 lbs.) because the range of motion is so much better. I feel like if I did them more often and focused on getting the bells up to my chest my pullup strength would improve, because I have poor strength at peak contraction.

    Chasing the Dream!

    What's a Jefferson squat? I've heard of Jefferson deadlifts. Been thinking about incorporating them in my routine to take some strain off my lower back. Log's looking good, man. Keep motivated, keep killing it. 335 for 6 on squat is good ****.

    Oh, haha, you don't want a deep tissue massage for unwinding. That **** is pain, for the whole hour+ that you're there. You feel good after the massage. If you just want a relaxing rub-down, I'd go with a swedish massage or whatever the equivalent is at your local parlor.

    I got a couples massage with my girlfriend, but the masseuse was awesome and gave me deep tissue, hot pads, and liniment on my back and shoulders. I usually get sports deep tissue massages.

    Ugh. Felt like crap yesterday and today. Went to get a couples massage with my girlfriend Sunday, which was great, but telling. The massage therapist looked me in the eye after we went up front and said very seriously, "you need to come in again. Your back was very tight." Today at work my neck...
