285x2 misload
280x2x3
[email protected] - did [email protected] last Meso. Not off to a great start but with how high my stress has been lately and how generally unprepared i felt for this session im not surprised with the performance. Weights at and past 185 felt heavier than they shouldve.

2. CG 2bd BP

Band PAs: MM x20x2

3. Rd X band fly
Choked micro x15x3

Still dont have much time to be on here. I hope everyone is doing well and staying or getting healthy.

3. Hammer curl

4. Band fp + er
Choked micro “xd” x35x2

Decided to stick to the bb vs the log as if i build my bb press my log should go up as well, but i dont think its quite as certain the other way around given the shorter rom with the log. If my shoulder starts aching I’ll switch to the log since the NG is a little more shoulder friendly.

Wanted to get this session in Wed but that quickly turned into a “honey-do”, errand, & hang out with my son & fiance day. All good.

Sumo DL: estimated top set with 75% is ~10 reps. With the usual x3x4 base that gives me a total of 22 estimated reps for the day. So i did x4x4, 1x6.

5. Spud pulldowns (5x10) vs min looped around yoke posts pulling bw & slightly down.
90x10x2

I dont need them yet but ive almost pulled the trigger on a pair of rogue hondo plates about a half dozen times now. I know ive got some gcs waiting for me at xmas so im really trying to just wait it out, but im afraid there’ll be another surge and then it’ll be april before i can get anything. Gonna have to take that gamble though. Itd make more sense for me to just get 2 pairs of 45s for 210 vs the 2 hondos for 250 but for some reason i want the 100s even though theyre much more of a pain in the ass to deal with.

Be patient.

But the hundos are nice to weigh the yoke down lol.

Your deadlift is moving up nicely brother.

Trying...

I think thats about 75% of the reason i want them lol. The only time id need them would be for deads (eventually, hopefully) and they wouldn’t need to be on the rack for that. Every other day they could just chill on the back posts.

Thanks, hoping to be working in the 4s every training session sometime by March-May next yr. Slow & steady will get me there.

If i thought i could reliably make myself get up before my 12 hr shift Tomorrow or Thursday I wouldve pushed this session back a day or two. My L lumbar wasnt feeling the best yesterday into today, nothing bad but just the “be careful” kinda feeling that ive ignored many-a-time before.

**On rep 3 of set 4 my hips shot backwards trying to come out of the hole and i thought for sure i was fukked. Time slowed down and all i could think about was when the pain would hit. Luckily I escaped and didnt suffer any consequences. Just moved on to pauses one set short of what was rxd.

That tells me my mental game still isnt there and there are definitely some inhibitions in the squat, at a minimum, perhaps deadlift too.

Good luck with the vaccine J

Thanks man. Not too worried about the first one. The second one is the one that it sounds like is basically a guarantee to make you feel kinda crappy for a day or two.

Honestly felt pretty heavy. My back has been feeling fragile since after this session last microcycle. The L QL just feels tight as hell and its causing some L SIJ pain. It feels like i have zero pop out of my wedge right now. Due to the back I lightened the next exercise and chose to tempo them to compensate for the decrease in relative intensity.

4. SG SLDL w/ banded hips (5/2/1/2 tempo)

Just since I previously mentioned it, im still feeling completely fine from the vacc. Had some mild PIP in the delt i got it in the day after but that has been it.

I felt like the Over and Backs in DeFranco’s Agile 8 made the biggest difference in my back mobility out of everything in that complex. They’re a little intimidating at our size (I never actually put my feet on the floor behind my head, just roll back onto my upper back as far as I am comfy letting my legs fall before straightening back out), and I can’t promise they’re safe for your back, but they did seem to unlock things quickly.

Mountain Climbers however would definitely be safe and they also did a lot quickly. Stretches & pumps the calves/heels/hips/glutes and can be sped up more explosively/increase ROM as you warm.

Just a couple ideas that may help loosen you before lower days.

It’s a lot when you are out of shape, but it does end up addressing quite a bit if you can move through it in a timely fashion. It’s a bit of quick mobility and dynamic movement.

Hmm. Im slightly hesitant to do those over and backs. I feel like itd be easy to get hyperflexed and irritate something. But, ill try em. I do like the mountain climber idea. Get the whole pillar firing - activate the psoas, glutes, bracing muscles all in one.

I was hesitant to recommend them. I mean I could see them being a real issue for you, but I just wanted to share my experience.

Try the mountain Climbers first and see if they do the trick before considering risking the over & backs - minimum effective dose first!

Thanks. Need to get tighter with my lower half before i unrack it for sure. Still the only lift that I haven’t lost a ton on, at least.

They were a good find. They’re great. The price seems high but when you compare to the same thing you’ll be getting from rogue its a no brainer to go with them. They are very high quality as well.

Back still hasnt been feeling great. It actually almost locked up on me Monday at work - i went to twist to the left to go back to facing my computer from talking to someone and my L QL spasmed for a second. Then Tuesday night i got woken out of sleep with both of my hamstrings cramped up, lasted for what felt like a half hr but was probably only 3-5 mins which is still a long ass time to be cramping. That has never happened to me before, where it was in the middle of the night or on both sides at the same time, and lemme tell you i hope it never happens again. They both have had some soreness down about 2/3 of the way to the knee for the last 2 days since then. Have a birthday and less than a week later new **** happens to you...

I bought myself a breath belt the other day. I had wanted to buy one for a while but couldnt make myself spend that much of my own money on it. I got some cash for a gift between my bday & xmas and put it towards that. Also snagged some Titan gnarly handles with some amazon gcs my brother got me. I also won my fantasy fb league so ill be snagging a Boneyard DL bar and 1 pair of 45s next time I see them drop.

Honestly quite pleased i was able to get up through 265 beltless without any discomfort. I dont know for sure but it feels like it has been a long while since that has happened.

I must be getting fat cuz my belt was pinching my gut aka “power belly”. The fiance and I did some goal setting yesterday and I hope to do some form of cardio 2x a week in 2021. I’ll probably hit up the apt clubhouse for that, which I’m less than thrilled about, until i can use the sled. However, it is the nicest apartment fitness center ive ever seen.

[Hyde]

Nice pause squats especially! And congratulations on the incoming training toys to come.

Assuming you feel good about magnesium, salt & potassium, you probably just aren’t getting enough mobility work in AFTER your lower days. Like just in the living room, a few extra foam rolls and stretches. I am bad about that, but when I am training lower seriously I need to spend more time on more days doing a little extra. I have to do way more than the wife ever needed, but you get what you get I suppose.

Download a podcast or episode on Netflix, or get on the fitness center wifi if they have any for a YouTube video, and you will come to look forward to your bi-weekly cardio sessions! Make it about entertainment and the movement takes care of itself. I mean if you are doing HIIT you’re basically confined to jamming to a playlist, but LISS is basically tv/podcast time.

I know i for sure am not having a problem getting enough sodium, I’m sure i could be better about potassium but i drink a ton of milk and have been eating sweet potatoes fairly consistently lately, so i dont think itd be that cuz if anything ive had more potassium lately than previously. Magnesium, i get from almonds, but i dont know if i have a more significant source in my diet or not. I need to refresh my memory on dietary sources aside from nuts.

I could definitely stand to be more dedicated/serious in my recovery outside of eating. I dont really do much else specifically for recovery. I just figured that i never really had to when i was training far harder and more frequent than I am now so why should I, but I absolutely see the fault in that logic as i type it out.

Podcasts and youtube will 100% be utilized to pass the time. Theres so much free information and knowledge to be had out there nowadays, and it’s all available with just a few clicks or taps on a screen.

 

[Hyde]

“Magnesium I get from almonds”

Lol J do you realize how many almonds you would need to eat daily to ensure sufficient magnesium for an athlete?

There’s like no practical staple foods with mag, which is why it’s one of the only things that really needs supplementation for the majority of folks.

400mg cap of a crappy blend from Swanson nightly makes a terrific difference for me. You could do 800 of a primo form but I am looking at cost/benefit and ease of use too, and when you buy that cheap stuff on sale the daily price is peanuts. Or almonds

 

[Sean1332]

Man, just buy some mag. It's dirt cheap. As for potassium: for me to reach 4700mg through food (w/o supplementing w/ salt substitute) actually takes a lot, it's no wonder a lot of people don't get enough. Daily potatoes, spinach, beans, kiwi, and bananas

 

[tyga tyga]

Yeah,potassium is tough to hit the new RDI. Magnesium is even harder.

Avocado, pomegranate juice, bananas, pistachios and fairlife are my go -to. Which actually gets me right around 4k.

Avocado, pomegranate juice, bananas, pistachios and fairlife are my go -to. Which actually gets me right around 4k.

The other thing about potassium, really, is that it’s about ratios as well as individual needs. The govt recommends almost 1:2.5, and some bodybuilders go 1:3. Someone older who is obese with high bp and has problems with sodium retention needs to watch sodium and get lots of potassium to avoid holding excess water and driving bp. A healthy active person, especially one who sweats during activity, can consume far more sodium relative to potassium and remain healthy. And someone eating much lower carb or keto needs higher saltotassium than the gen pop advisory.

I find I need less sodium and more potassium on cycle because I am more retentive and things like blood pressure management are genuine considerations. But off when I am healthier I can eat sodium and potassium at 1:1 and have bp that’s 117/66 at 245lbs with no obvious bloating.

Nu Salt, potassium caps, oranges and other fruits, spinach, meats are nifty for me getting potassium.

 

[Sean1332]

Oooo ya fairlife

 

[jswain34]

Haha. I didnt mean to give off the perception that I was getting a full RDA of mag through almonds, I was just kinda thinking about the foods i eat that I know contain it lol.

I have really never, ever had an issue with cramping. Like the last severe cramp i had was after a stupid as spartan race i did that I think put me into rhabdo. Then the one before that was in 2016 after a double header.

But I’ll pick up some mag, I used to supplement it but ran out and just never picked it up again.

 

[BennyMagoo79]

I get one or both abductors cramping simultaneously at night, and it really sucks! It would always happen after long work days spent working at floor level (mainly ground work). I found no improvement with any salt or keeping hydrated, however since I got my massage gun I have had far fewer episodes. My current hypothesis is, cramping is the result of poor circulation in that part of my body, and is quite preventable by using the gun on my groin and abductors.

Strong ass press man.

Thanks man. Honestly wasnt sure id get the triple but i didnt have the time for a tweener set between 190 & 225 so i just went for it. The last rep was a grind, got it about half way up right when the weight comes off the delts and into the triceps and it kinda floated back down on me some, but i was able to reverse it and lock it out. It was a true 10.

My alarm was supposed to go off at 4:18 but it didnt. Luckily i woke up naturally at 455 and hurried to try and get something in, but that 30 min difference is what led to me not being able to finish the RDLs & rollouts.

Im likely gonna reset back down 315 next microcycle and really work on sitting back and shooting the hips through. Or i may just restart at 355 and work on it - the main thing is im just not going to be adding weight until I figure it the fk out.

I think i mentioned it but i got an actual landmine apparatus off of amazon for less than 30$ and it is very nice. Heavy duty, full swivel, has a place for both 2” & 1” bars, a twist pin to lock the bar into place, another where you can attach it to a rack - everything you could want for a very fair price given places like rogue charge ~100$ for one that id argue is less versatile.

I’d give it one more week at the 355 to see if you can work it out, and then drop down lower if that still can’t get worked out. But now that you realize what’s off it may be an easy fix, so I’d try that first.

Got the second shot yesterday. Had planned on either doing what I did today or hitting bench, but i just didnt feel up to it afterwards. I felt run down, had a couple episodes of diarrhea (really just 1 legit one), and started to get a mild headache later in the day. Due to that I just got a bunch of easy stuff done around the house. Today i still have a bit of a mild headache and some mild injection site soreness but otherwise feel fine. Will hit upper tomorrow.

My 92yr old grandpa got his first shot last Tuesday. He said “I feel fine”, all I could think was.. “it’s the second shot that tends to cause the sides of you get them.” Either way I’m glad he’s getting it, I can take him out to eat every once in a while (14 days after his next injection) because I still have antibodies (from my blood test).

I imagine since you’re a healthy gent that the bout of the trots and the headache is all you’ll deal with- hopefully.

Side effects are actually less common in those >55 or 60 y/o (can’t remember which one it was). And the 95% effectiveness is 7 days post 2nd shot, 50-55% effective 14 days post 1st shot. Thats the data for the pfizer anyway. Happy you guys will be able to see one another again, im hoping my great grandma gets it before she passes so we can make the trip to Columbus so she can meet my son. What a crazy year.

Yah, it was/is no big deal - it just hit me all of the sudden when I was in Home Depot. I had to drop all the shelving I was planning on buying and sprint across the store to the can lol. Those big ass hardware stores are one of the worst places to be in that circumstance because of how huge they are .

Pretty much just tired AF after the shot now with minimal soreness in the L delt remaining. Who knows if the fatigue is from the shot or sleep training the little guy, though.

Hey if you don’t fail out, just keep chugging along. Nice work
