So, speaking of famous old lifters... Ricky Dale Crane's wife was a pederast... what's up with that?

No, once again kinda going by feel and using linear periodization. I figured based on what I have done in weeks before, how I have been lifting, and how I felt today, 350 for 3 would be a good triple to hit. I was right about at my threshhold there - my conditioning is back to garbage, although I will intensify my cardio and rep ranges in the coming weeks. I'm going to stick to triples for my peak sets, and try to bump the weight 5 to ten pounds workout to workout or week to week, depending on how the days fall.Nice work. Short and simple. I like it. Are you using some algorithm to generate your numbers?
Thanks, I usually do barbell rows unless I decide to go above 200 or so, then I'll do Pendlays but use light barbell rows as a warmup because I feel that Pendlays are closer to a deadlift for your lats/thoracic region (explosive strength) while barbell rows can be used for time under tension, and force more blood into the area.I like that you recognize that barbell rows and Pendlay rows are a completely different movement. Good liftin bud
Lolollolol wha? At what age am I supposed to start understanding pederasty?When you get older, you will better understand.
At the age you try it, lol.Lolollolol wha? At what age am I supposed to start understanding pederasty?
Pain wise or whatever, no trouble. I never go for a "pump" or for muscular failure on these; if I did, I would probably do several sets at lower weights and stay under 125 lbs. I probably should do some of that, considering it's my weakest lift. However, another issue I have with OHP is that when I get over 125 I feel like I am going to pass out when I strain. The only lift that does this to me. I actually did grey out once with 135 overhead, and it was almost a very bad day. Cut my hand pretty good on the rack fighting unconsciousness/having the weight come down on me.Nice work. You don't have any trouble going right from the bar to 95 lbs on OHP? When I am doing those, I like to ramp up slowly, usually up to 155 lbs for reps. I find it helps me find my grove, including mind body connection for a complex movement, and strength, fwiw. However, I won't be doing these anytime soon given my shoulder issues.
Anyhow, just food for thought. Good work, you pederast wannabe.
Yeah, that's orthostasis. Vasalva can also provoke. Simulants can sometimes make this worse, ironically -- the heart rate increases, and the BP can drop when standing, to balance the increased rate.Pain wise or whatever, no trouble.

wow, I had this too. Thanks, Jinxie!Yeah, that's orthostasis. Vasalva can also provoke. Simulants can sometimes make this worth, ironically -- the heart rate increases, and the BP can drop when standing, to balance the increased rate.
I think this is even more reason to increase the volume on this movement, to condition your cardiovascular system against the orthostatic response. Hit some volume, and then go for a few heavier singles to triples, and then come back down and hit some more volume at moderate weight. That's my suggestion for consideration. I know you know what you are doing and have your programming though. Just looking out for the orthostasis, which is something I have suffered from.
Haha, thanks. For the first time, I had some random bro approach me and ask me how to do a movement yesterday (corner barbell rows with a narrow row handle) completely out of the blue. I must appear to be bigger and stronger than I think, because this guy's arms and chest were better developed than mine. I guess I'll take it as a compliment.Nice squatting, you pedantic pederast, you.
Thanks dude, wish my bench would get up there.Nice squating man!
Thanks. I'm worried though, because I think I've got tendonitis in my left elbow.Good liftin dude
Yes, I normally do RDLs until 315. This is because I use it as a dynamic stretching exercise; I don't fully lock out the reps and really push my hips back to stretch and engorge my hamstrings, and also because I prefer not to smack myself in the balls with the bar (I pull quickly even during warmups, so if the weight is light I have a tendency to rack myself in the nuts).Good pulls dude. Do you normally do RDLs for your warmup?
Screw lotion. Shave that dry skin off.
Thanks dudemanbro. Sorry to hear about your shoulder; I hope you and your doctor decide on a plan that makes you happy, and that the rehab is swift. And your squats are still killer, even if you're going light - the way I see it, if you're squatting you're daring to do something about 75% of gym goers never try because they're afraid, which is made doubly cool by the fact that you're doing it in spite of physical setbacks. Good luck dude, hope you can get back to properly crushing the iron ASAP.Pederastic pulls, brosef!
Thanks dude. Stopped by your log and saw those sweet, sweet squats.Subbed my man.
I got a couples massage with my girlfriend, but the masseuse was awesome and gave me deep tissue, hot pads, and liniment on my back and shoulders. I usually get sports deep tissue massages.What kind of massage you get? Think I may be in the market to try one out soon
