Yeah funny part is he’s an arm wrestler. Back in the 90s I arm wrestled in quite a few tournaments. I couldn’t imagine grabbing a paw like that and trying to hook him to get him down.

Thanks! It’s definitely been a little while. I’ll be updating and going through everyone’s logs in the next few days. I took 4 days off from work because “fahk you that’s why” . Been a nonstop grind the past month.

I googled mini snatch and then my work internet police shut my computer down and escorted me to the door. What is this? like an empty barbell warm-up? I like to go through the full bergner warmup with an empty barbell before benching or pressing to get those shoulders warmed up personally.

lol he’s doing snatches with a miniband (like instead of a pvc pipe) for warmup and they think you’re searching for little person porn 🤣

Thanks gents! Good to get some blood flowing again. Time to work on myself again lol. Been a chaotic summer, but lucrative, a double edged sword. Time to start rebuilding numbers!

Dog you’re like Tony Ramos. Show up to Westside, lift for a few months and get your raw bench back in the 400s, then disappear for a work project for months, then slip back into the gym like you never left

Like Hyde described, similar to using PVC pipe. I stand inside on the band and grab the opposite end with snatch grip. The. Proceed with movement. Really awesome to get activated for bench.

Lol, muscle memory is my friend. Summer work schedule really takes over my life these pst few years tbh. I’d rather pin 19 Nors in winter anyways 🤣

I like that. I still believe snatch is a great movement for shoulder health when done right.
I also believe it's a great way to destroy the shoulders when done wrong lol. So I don't really tell new lifters about my warm up routine lol

Next year you could try something like hitting your Scout RH, push-ups & band pullaparts for 100 total reps each 3x a week in-season. Not a perfect solution, but I bet it would be significant, what you could maintain with that 15 minutes several days per week. Keep your GPP a bit higher while delaying some muscle loss, and probably feel better with the routine bloodflow.

Just a random idea for the busy man, no pressure or anything

Oh nice, I do like the design of those trap bars. I have the hex trap bar, which gets the job done for traps as well as hex bar deadlifts, but man if you walk by and catch one of the sides it can bust up your shin or knee.

Agreed. I’ve never used an open bar till now but I’m sold!

Amen to that!!!! I have the hex bar as well but it does not have the raised handles. I love to use it but would definitely rather have something open ended to walk into as well as make a few other exercises easier to do with it.

@SkRaw85 That bad boy has enough room for 3 more plates per side than mine from the looks of it. Jealous. Sometimes I like to load it with 25 plates and get some serious deficit deads but run out of room on my sleeves.
Are those handles offset enough to reach comfortably to the lower set without interference from the top handle? I am sure they are but it is hard to tell from the picture.

No handle offset at all actually. They are directly in line with each other. You just flip the entire bar to use the high handles and vice versa for regular handles. The picture I posted has it sitting on the rockers which raise it off the floor for easy plate loading. They also allow you to flip it to either side with ease. Well thought out design.

I need to implement reverse shrugs with this thing. I can’t remember it was you or Rocket or HGP that turned me on to them. It’s been ages…..

I am pretty sure that was me. When I found them I was so impressed with them I was singing praises all over the place.
 
I forgot about stir the pots and need to add some dedicated ab work back in. Looks like my life just got harder…

Right they crush the abs but do so much for the entire core and shoulder stability too. It takes a lot of coordination to get good at these.
 
Decided to reward myself for all this work and no play I’ve been up to lately. Rogue RM-4 rack was purchased the other day. Should be here this week. Picked up the matador dip attachment for it as well because I miss dips after barbell touches the nips.

Work is just about over the chaotic summer grind and I am ready. Burnout is real and the fatigue was creeping hard. Planning to blast and conjugate in the next few weeks. Fighting off some lingering sinus/lung crud this past 8 days and want to get back to health for a few before diving in the juice.

What dose are you able to run SD at, and for how long? I tried running at 20mg daily once and stopped on day 10 due to brown urine and feeling like hell. I can pulse it or run it at 10mg for a little bit but 20 put a hurting on me.

Last run was alongside trest. I ran it 20mg per day for 4 weeks. No way I could have gone longer than that lol. I’ve pondered the idea of pulsing it as well. I respond well to this method. And if any compound should be pulsed, this is definitely one
