Dmax's pursuit for power & performance

Hey man, not all training days are home runs. Sucks about the nagging thing. Seems like we all pretty much have them. Nothing we can do but regroup, evalute ourselfs, and work at getting better.

If it is right under the armpit it could also be the subscap. You can try and dig in there with your thumb. @bolt knows that one better than me.

I really like this one: Invalid Link Removed

Or just leaning over and mashing lightly with my thumb. You can internally rotate with your arm straight to feel the muscle flex to know where to work.
 
So I don't have a barbell but I do have a rounded door knob to dig in there and put pressure on it hurt like a bitch we may be onto something here

Subscap mashing will make you cry. I can vouch. But it's so worth it. Get someone to pipe you on it, you'll hate me until you see what it does.
 
Feeling better today I smashed the crap out of my armpit area and shoulder blade I'm going to continue to heat it today seems to helping quite a bit

O and herder I thought I was going to cry with her rolling that area like pie crust
 
Went to my chiropractic app today he was like your upper and lower back were both really tight I said I'll show u why lol

So far it mentally is working... Unemployment ran out and no work at hall for at least a month is all

Can you try for an extension? I know when I got laid off in metal fab. work I was able to get an extension. It's worth looking into at least.

Other thing is take a loan. It sucks ass, but it's an emergency.

Hope it works out man!

So the day in briefs had the desired effect everything felt light. Used my frustration today to grab a pr wasn't the prettiest but I blame the shoes I had on the powerlifts on felt like the were pushing me forward a bit never squat in them before. Did pin squats from a spot I feel like I get stuck from should have been a tad lower thou

Deadlift
I feel like I had 5 in me on the top set but I was wearing sweat pants and forgot my shorts so bar was getting caught up pulling the bar free O well

Rest is my normal stuff

Richard Hawthorne is just bass ackwards on all of his stuff, man. He tries to sound intelligent and revolutionary but he's ended up sounding silly. He's damn strong, But I can't handle what happens when he starts thinking or talking.
