Thanks Simon! I had plenty of time so I just kept going. I was smoked afterwards. Back pump made it uncomfortable to drive home haha
 
I was a bit behind but you're still so freakin strong!

Thanks Kat! Been a long time since I did high reps on a consistent basis so it's pretty nice to be able to hit higher weight now that I have a better strength base

With you guys as well. Easier on my wrists as well. Nice session brother!

Ya I've gone the wrist wrap and compression cuff route to stay healthy. Hopefully with some technique tweaks I can keep progressing and hit some prs.

Thanks man!

I have just that about to hip to me, finally.

Did you see the Duffin video about the lat bounce from proper belly touch and bending the bar?

Stupid auto-correct... I need to just turn it off. It changes real words to words it assumes I meant to say.

I ordered an 11" or 12", whatever my relaxed elbow joint was -1". I think it's going to be tight, as I prefer to have it a little on my bicep. We'll see, but it may be uncomfortable for a while.

I thought I had measured correctly but I guess I didn't.

Thanks for the video. I have seen it but I need to watch it again
 
No more workouts this week. Flying out to San Jose for the Stadium Series game

Was actually a pretty good view. Messes with your depth perception because you're looking low and far away. Had to watch the board on the plays on the close boards. Great experience and atmosphere especially with the tailgating before. Wish I could tailgate every game.

Snuck up to club level with 5 of my buddies and it was amazing at Levis

It was a great experience. Hopefully I can find tickets to go see Minnesota vs Chicago next year since my gf is a hawks fan. Depending on where I am at job wise, maybe swing the Avs Red Wings game in Colorado too.

joh408 said:
Haha thanks man. Actually starting to like them more but it may be from the pump I get at the end. Gotta build the erectors

I love Conv, and it may be my fav lift at the moment.
 
love2liftkat said:
Haha it's a hate sort of love! I'm still striving to get them down! So that's a big motivator!
Click to expand...

Ya the weight keeps going up so that's motivating but it still a lot more effort than sumo especially at the end of the workout. Gotta keep hammering them tho
 
Busy week before spring break. Senior project has about 3 more weeks of testing and we are a bit behind so I'm spending all free hours at the facility. Trying to get to the gym late night tonight. Hopefully it's not too crowded
