Hey what's up, Bolt



Fück yes

My library of training articles and links is quite extensive for easy access.

I am deloading this week so life is horrible though and I am incredibly bored. :p
 
EDIT: Bolt's on the ball like a mofo.
 
I want your sumo-ness. Fückin 1.75 lbs, ugh lol I'm gonna buy that weight cut book next time I do it.

Sorry, I'm phase 1, gotta start from scratch brah or else...

Recomp to a solid 210, easy 24hr cut with no book buy.
 
Meanwhile I'm on the gain train getting fat. You guys are tuff.
 
Love the info in here tonight. Never saw the article Bolt posted before.

Am I the only one who reads this stuff and immediately stands up and starts messing with form out of curiosity? Lol

Edit: okay I am :shrugs:

Strict Axle Bar Supine Row/Miniband 3D's
BWx4x8/Miniband x4x15

Dead-stop Dumbell Row

I was a good boy and refrained from pressing.
 
Yay no pressing! Give it 6 to 8 weeks of adding in your front, lateral, and rear delt work and then you can thank me profusely. ;) That's an absolutely INSANE number on those deadstop DB rows. How hard was that?

Hang on. You're saying not to press and do that work instead? or saying in addition to?

And actually the rows weren't terrible. Multiple sets of it would have sucked. Using the axle in the power rack pins was ****ing awesome, give it a try (or with fat gripz)

and this

I met your midget twin today... does the cube, shaved head (but he has a beard) etc. But he uses robs longhorn belt... haha. Guy was like 5' 5" 198.

I say take some time off presses... not too much. Heal then come back and kill.

haha nice

And there's hardly any irritation left on my left shoulder, and bench pressing hasn't irritated it. I feel it getting better. Just been playin it safe with my plan. I had intended, and so far stuck with, only pressing Tuesdays and using today for RC work.
 
Sean, I missed some posts over last 12 days. What's up with your shoulders? Impingement, right? That responds very well to cortisone without any meaningful risk as there are no tendons in the joint. I would advocate a shot, and laying off all overhead work and pressing for a week, and then reintroduce, but lighter, higher rep, initially. Or you can just go ballz out and shave the joint down after the shot (or even without), to open it up, as long as you are certain it's just shoulder separation, the A/C joint. I addressed this briefly in the college wrestler's log, as well as in Toro's other log.

No no, in addition to. For me, anyway, going in and pressing overhead doesn't push up my overhead press. The raises in addition to it DO push up my press though. And when my press goes up, so does my bench.

I'll definitely have to incorporate moar fat grippin.

Not for certain if it's impinged but it does feel irritated. Not in any pain in the movements though. I do feel it getting better (at least not any worse). Not sure if you caught my post in response to Country.

As for the cortisone, as much as I would love to, dealing with military medical is terrible. One of two things will happen: I'll be given 800mg ibuprofen and sent home, or they'll blow things out of proportion and I'll be put on light duty, which I don't want.

I've increased rotator cuff work, thoracic mobility drills, MFR, and scapula crap.

Still, if it's almost healed a solid true deload might get it to 100% and let you unleash hell you didn't know you had within you. Glad to hear it is getting better though. I'm sore as hell right now... felt amazing earlier today. lol.
 
I mean, if it bugs you, obviously don't press. But if/when you can, do it up.
 
I agree with the 3 of you and I really do appreciate the insight. Jinxie drops knowledge like Ron Jeremy drops loads!

I assure y'all, if it's irritating my press, I'll stop over the holidays for it. As of now, it's not painful and I feel like I'm effectively playing it safe. Or I could just be 100% wrong lol

Gotcha re the complications of service. You have great integrity, ma man.I revised my post after you began your reply, to say you also can go ballz out without the shot. Just let pain be your guide. If pain is very localized, and is triggered by pressing on the A/C joint, it's likely separation/arthritis, and you can pound on it with impunity, pain aside. You just need to open that space up, to relieve the impingement.Sounds like you are doing the right stuff to me. Work that mid back and posterior delts and lower/mid traps.

I would prefer being compared to Peter North throwing ropes on Tori Wells, lol. Though I am hairy too, lol.

What I'll post it later, but if you want to youtube SuperD shoulder stuff, he has one for creating space using a resistance band. Basically it's wrapped around my wrist, I put tension on it, pack my shoulder, and internally and externally rotate a bit.
 
Thanks a lot brother. If I'm place on light duty for my RC: 1) my job will suck ass, no more driving boats for a bit 2) I'll hafta go out of my way for prehab 3) I doubt leave will be granted for any more powerlifting comps lol Now, if it's bad, then I'll drop the ego and do what I gotta do, but I don't feel like I'm at that point.

What does it run out of pocket?

Sounds good. I will PM you.
