I’ll be getting a new shirt. I use an Inzer Leviathan Ultra, which is adjustable, for squats and deadlifts. I was able to fit into my knee sleeves this week again. Whoever says that they don’t help or have carryover is lying to themselves.

One thing I’d add is to think a plank position with the upper body. Tight grip on the handles, elbows driven into the pad, and double chin position. It’s far more tiring, but helps to decompress the spine and hit the appropriate areas more effectively.

She did not.

My favorite memory of her is a tie between when she and I took a little road trip and spent hours talking and being silly/stupid together or when we trained together. Woman was really strong and had a lot of potential. I used to always tease her about her awful palette. I took her to Whataburger...

Noted and fixed.

It’s been awhile…a long while. A lot has changed in my life during that time. Some good…some bad. I was out of the gym for an extended period of time…from 11/16/2019 until 6/5/2021. **** hit the fan and I spent some time in prison. To make matters worse, I tore my Achilles two days into my...

Dammit…I found out yesterday. Her brother texted me. I haven’t been around here in years, but she and I stayed in touch. I only met her once, but I’m happy that I did. I’ll miss you, baby. I love you.

Squat is a complete mystery for me. I'm not sure where I'm opening at all. I can hopefully get a better idea Saturday. It's looking like I might be opening around 310-315.

Training last week got all sorts of out of whack. Meet went really long and I was pretty tired the next day as well. It went well enough and now the real fun **** begins. Suit goes on this week.

It's adjustable. We actually just got a new one yesterday that I can set to an appropriate height for me.

7/5 SSB Box Squat (+lights; 14") 230x6x2 Pause Conventional 315x4x2 Walking DB Lunge 40x3x20 Reverse Hyper 180x3x20 Hanging Leg Raise 4x15 Squat feels great and deadlift feels like ****. To hell with conventional for me...sticking to sumo and using other hip extension movements.

I'm not sure. It's one meant for people 6' plus, though. I have to use the pad from the SSB on it so I don't have to do a damn calf raise every step.
