Your dad smiled from heaven at you. Way to get the work in, even when it’s emotional driven, it’s a good release.11/12/25

Been SEVEN years since I did 470x10 on a powerbar, so I wanted to do this one today in memory of my dad. Knew I was going to have to send it to make it happen, but when things got hard at rep 7 I just thought about him hanging on until I got there to see me one last time. Was pretty tuckered after, plus I knew I can’t squat until next Tuesday anyway with the memorial this weekend, so I saved hams & lats for tomorrow night.
This one was special
Still hitting scap pushups before benching? Great movement to grease up with before self unrack.
That’s a meaty one to remember him bu11/12/25

Yeah actually before almost every day; it’s fast and feels good.
That’s such an awesome PR in dedication to your Dad. And like Sam said he was looking down on you with a big smile and a big thumbs up….Great job.11/12/25

good on you dude, great motivation to find and build from. I was pushing something hard the other day and forced an extra set cause I heard you in my head saying "you don't have to lift, you GET to lift."
Never tried Devotions…..sound intense with a lot of TUT.
Well, it’s probably over 100% more TUT per rep when you consider both the paused & RDL portions take longer than a conventional pull. After those followed by leg curls to failure, I just didn’t need any more for my hams - they let me know!
Ha, I bet….considering all that, that makes the sets of 325 and 350 for 5 that much more impressive. I bet your hams were toast.
I’ve never done devotions but you better bet that’s going in my bag!
They’re just something Rhyss Keane made up for an offseason pulling variation to keep the absolute weights down but get a lot of good positional and hypertrophy work in. He’s a 900lb conventional deadlifter
“And you’ll be a 900lb conventional dead lifter too with this exercise!”….in my infomercial host voice.
Oh boy that will be sick!!!!
I got that email and was so tempted to do it!
For the TYAO private coaching thing, or you mean for the Crew Retreat? Because the TYAO is just a few people basically getting put through the wringer by Dave & is super expensive. But the retreat is for the podcast supporters to come train together & is very affordable.
The crew retreat. If it wasn’t in December I would go. You’re absolutely correct it is very affordable. Two of my kids that are out of state will be in for Christmas so I’d feel really bad leaving to go to Ohio while they’re in town.
I’m glad the memorial service went well. It’s always a comfort and peaceful feeling you get when you hear stories from people you’ve never heard or just relive the ones you forgot. Continued prayers to your family.
Sounds like it was a good send off, great session also.
He will loop a band through another that has been choked to a rack. So you still pull/flex the primary band apart with the rear delts, but it being looped through another band makes it just a little bit like a facepull also. Band choked through a band is super kind on joints for any accessory, but you get a good contraction.
That’s so good to hear that you had a great memorial for your Dad. And I’m sure it blessed him hearing people share how he touched their lives.
This one has a totally standard collar size; very much like a bare steel Texas powerbar with a bit more aggressive knurling.
All I can think of is that stupid movie cast away trying to break that tooth off with a pair of figure skates, good luck doing that with 5 roots! That’s crazy!Got a root canal done today a few hours after squatting. Tooth started hurting Friday night (of course, when you can’t call the dentist) to the point I was sure something was off. Definitely hurt worse Saturday; made it easy to fast until the family meal after Dad’s memorial. Then Sunday it became serious constant pain, food was getting difficult. Yesterday, Monday, I called first thing and got an emergency appointment for today. Just bombed ibuprofen all day to get by & gummed food on the good side of my mouth. It was bad; basically just guzzled ramen noodles and protein shakes.
Today the dentist said No doubt, the old silver filling my previous dumbass dentist put in 13 years ago has caused your tooth to crack & the root is infected - CT scan showed it had even spread to my sinus on that side. When he did the canal, he discovered my molar had 5 (FIVE) roots. Most people have 2-3. 4 is rare, but 5 is such a rare anomaly they try to do case studies on those people; well under 1% of people are believed to have 5 roots.
So I guess you really could say I’m built different… a true 1%er
Man, root canals can be rough….glad you got it taken care of. Five roots, that’s wild…you even have a good foundation for chewing food.Got a root canal done today a few hours after squatting.

man I barely even trust dentists anymore. I had one that I had asked for years about tooth whitening and straightening and he kept telling me, nah I wouldn't worry about it cause you drink coffee and your teeth really aren't as crooked as you think. then a few years later the cars in the parking lot upgraded, the staff grew and they turned into a little profit center trying to upsell me on everything like I was getting my oil changed.
Nice workout, especially considering what all you’ve been through. Hope you guys have a great time, and Mrs Hyde kills it.
Good luck to your wife. I hope she kills it! You guys try to enjoy the time away the best you can. Safe travels.
is the airport a pretty long drive for you guys? ours is only about an hour but once you figure in parking, etc I know it can become a bit tedious for travel up here.
It’s a little over 2 hours to the hotel we park & shuttle from. Left about 12:15, caught their 2:40am shuttle, bag drop and we were entering security an hour before boarding since we had no snafus, accidents to get through, ice on the road etc.
