Stupid thing double posted again
The next goal (back to where I was) still feels eons away, but youre right no doubt. I’m making forward progress slowly but surely.Everything is getting better and stronger for you, J! Look at that frontsquat, 100kg for 8 reps with several left on the tank. Making good progress back man.

You’re probably only about a 16-week training cycle of pushing away from it, honestly.The next goal (back to where I was) still feels eons away, but youre right no doubt. I’m making forward progress slowly but surely.

I do hit cancel. Which is why i get so damn annoyed that it still posts it. But I’m apparently still doing something wrong - although I do notice it happens a lot more when I only have 1-2 bars like skraw mentioned.Anytime it is taking a long time to load after a post, don't try to resend it.

That they are. Decided to push em a bit today. Still a bit aways from being able to suitcase a bw implement, but be farmers shouldnt be an issue anymore.Suitcase carries are going up well
Lol. That is probably a pretty succinct summary of how im sure a lot of people at my gym feel my sessions go.*walks in to gym, rips bands to shreds during warmups, bangs and throws plates everywhere, scaring the locals, does weird Zercher circus tricks with heavy ass weights..... then leaves. Keep it going!
Yeah, it just occurred to me that a lot of that might have to do with tightness of the chest and stuff on the front just as much as what is going on in the back.Missed a good convo in here while I was away, sorry fellas. All i have to add to it is that sets of 500-1000 walking lunges sounds gross, somewhat ridiculous and probably unnecessary, and also quite masochistic so i get why someone would do it. I havent done a thing other than work, drive, eat, and sleep (well I guess piss **** and shower too naturally) since Monday. I did figure out that there is a small gym up there so i may use it to get in a workout next week when im up there again so i dont have to bunch them all together on the weekend like im having to this week.
Yah, i think mine all goes back to my sr year of college when the catcher who was one burly ole boy from Wyoming and I collided going for a pop up. It knocked us both clean on our asses and we were both down for 15-30s just trying to regain our senses lol. We both weighed 215-230 and were running towards each other pretty damn hard. Probably broke a rib at that time but i continued to play the rest of the year with it even though it hurt like a mfer to take a deep breath or throw. In hindsight i shouldve just taken 2 weeks off to let it heal but in the heat of my last baseball season ever i just was too damn stubborn to do that. Anyway, i tend to agree with you that it's probably something that'll happen from time to time going forward, im just hoping that if strengthen the erectors around it and the scapular retractors it may help - donno if itll work but strong erectors and retractors are a good idea for everything else anyway so may as well prioritize it and see.
Good session. Pleased with the top set of log - still having an issue with too much anterior knee translation vs abducting them more and generating hip power that way. I very much focus on it during my work up sets so its just one of those bad habits that rears its head as i near maximal loads. Hopefully continuing to focus on it eventually engrains the pattern and it eventually is no longer an issue. With all the technical flaws i have, theres still major room for numbers to climb.
I was watching Brian Alsruhe's Youtube and he was talking about a lot of people having this problem and said the easiest fix is correcting foot position. He said most people will get into a powerful squatting or deadlifting stance / foot position and that is wrong. That you want to start with your hips and feet turned out more so when you dip your legs go out to the side more than forward. Basically a toes out stance is what is needed from what he was saying. Doing it the other way made my knees uncomfortable but changing my stance there made an immediate difference. For me it was having my toes out at about 45 degrees made it feel like butter.Basically my knees are just going too far forward beyond the point on the ground where my toes are at. My heels come off the ground as my weight shifts forward over my toes. It puts a lot of stress on the tendons of the knee, even more so when log pressing. Go watch a video of a strongman that blows out their patellar tendon when they go to press a log and you’ll see why i want to avoid it lol.
It could, for sure. I do need to be better about stretching my pecs, but my a/p strength discrepancy isnt anywhere near what it used to be so I’m not super certain that plays a huge role (for me, i do agree that it could and likely would in theory).Yeah, it just occurred to me that a lot of that might have to do with tightness of the chest and stuff on the front just as much as what is going on in the back.

Lol yeah that is seriously remote; might need to start keeping trailmix and jerky in the car or something.I left the hospital at 830 and didnt pass a McDonalds on my way home until 10 and it was closed. If you saw where I was in NH this last 5 weeks your understand. 2 lane back roads for an hour and 30 minutes until you get to the highway. “Watch for Moose” signs every 10 miles essentially the whole drive to the highway. Just wanted to get home. But, you’re right. I shouldve figured something out - and now I’m craving mcdoubles.
It sure was. An absolutely beautiful drive though, truly a great way to start your morning. Very peaceful. Here’s a poor quality pic i snapped on my drive home one night.Lol yeah that is seriously remote; might need to start keeping trailmix and jerky in the car or something.
Double McDoubles is my go-to on the road pick me up. It’s not good or good for you, but it’s good enough and available around the country, & they’re warm, fast, & cheap. And not too filling, so they help you make up lost ground.
I wonder if it is a seasonal thing. Here you have to watch for deer but certain times of the year not ever much to look out for but other times of the year it is something you really have to be aware of.It sure was.

And here is the only moose I have seen since i moved up here. Youd think they were as common as deer in the Midwest or something with how peppered the roadsides are with warning signs telling you to watch out for them.

Pretty crappy picture since it was so dark but you can still see her. Think it was a young cow but it was tough to see for sure.
Yah the last one i had was probably sometime in March after the gf and i took a quick pit stop at a brewery. We typically eat the Shadybrook brand 93/7 ground turkey when we make burgers at home too. Actually I ate 1.25lb of that for dinner last night.Wow, I haven't had a McDonald burger in YEARS!!!! I used to love to have the Double Quarter pounders when I was hungover and needed the grease to coat my abused stomach! We have Whataburger, BK Sonic, and a plethora of other burger places I go to but most often I eat 93/7 turkey burgers now from home. I would definitely keep some snacks in the car on that journey though. I think the reaon I stopped getting burgers at McD's is they don't or didn't have a jalapeno burger. Sacrilege!
Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat. Aka Bulgarian Split Squat or “BSS”. Im lazy and abbreviate anything i can.RFESS?
My favorite go to fast food meal with good nutrition is Wendy's, 2 large chilis add 1 or 2 chopped up grilled chicken breast @2.50 a piece and if post workout a baked potato or two then I just tell them to give me a large salad container and mix it all up... Delicious and very nutritious! Just the 2 chilis with one chicken breast is like 62p, 46c w/16g of fiber, and 18 grams of fat. A second grilled chicken breast adds another 26g of protein and 6g of fat. Add in a couple potatoes, or a potato and a frosty post workout and it is still a pretty low fat meal because frosty's are not too high in fat, only 8 grams for a medium with 70g of carbs...Yah the last one i had was probably sometime in March after the gf and i took a quick pit stop at a brewery.

I absolutely should have been better prepared. But luckily where I am going next is near Burlington VT (biggest city by population in VT) so there will be plenty of fast food shacks and other quick cheap places to get calories in from if need be.
Works out great. Gets the whole PC firing and also adds in a little extra hammy volume thats been lacking from my training. I liked your idea of using accessories for warmup so that way if i run out of time towards the tail end I know i got in some accessory volume already. I’ll never allow myself to miss out on compound volume so if i knock the lame stuff out first and get warmed up off it its a win win.How ya liking the warmup GHR?
