Notes:

About 2000 calories of pizza bloat w/ my mom yesterday. I stopped eating, but they decided to have a bottle of win. I snacked as they drank for over an hour until there was nothing left to snack on.

36° this morning. Not bad, but I was ready. Double layers and warmup inside, like @Hyde suggested.

New addition, worth every bit of $40:

IMG_2941.jpg


The seat was a goodwill purchase. I use this all the time too, and it makes moving the seated exercises a snap in the home gym.

I’m finally using the Landmine rack that @jinxie recommended. It works great.

Banded Glute Bridges would probably serve you better before your squats or deadlifts to activate the glutes unless you are really going to load them later in the workout.

So more of an activation, and less of an actual benefit to increase glute strength or other core?

IMHO, unless loading the bar up, but if glutes are activating well already then they will get hit plenty by the lower body work and you could probably benefit by saving the energy for squats or deadlifts so yeah I think as an activation would best use for them.

I was thinking by adding more hamstring and glute accessory work, it would mean more squat power. If not, I don’t know that I have time for them other than some quick ones in the warmup. Thanks!

Wife got a Pomsky about a month ago. I’ve never really been around small dogs before. I am now obsessed with this little monster.
A Pomsky sounds like a Russian hand job.

Choline will lower appetite, improve focus & alertness, and is best while working or before a heavy workout. Like you said, not great before bed IMHO.
I’m taking it right before work and I get exactly that. It’s a nice addition!

Definitely. It used to be considered an essential B family vitamin I believe. It doesn’t fit the definition so it no longer is, but it’s an extremely important raw material - when it comes to brain power, it’s a vital consumable substrate.

I always use AlphaGPC orally preWO, or inject Choline Chloride intramuscularly if I have eaten closer or it’s a very heavy day that I must be dialed in. Or if I am fasting and feeling foggy or very hungry, the injectable choline will address both issues.

Citicoline is probably the best form for daily supplementation, as it has the safest longterm data and boasts some extra benefits over other forms. Of course dietary choline intake is very ideal.

glad to hear I'm not the only one. wide grip is no bueno for my shoulders. going narrower on incline lately too which has worked swimmingly.
I am in a different boat, the internal rotation of close grip gets my subscap all out of sorts. I have to have my pinkies out by the ring now or my right shoulder bitches LOUDLY!

I guess the placement is relative. My wide grip is pinkie just at or before the ring. Close grip bench is the extended thumb away from smooth. I’m stronger there, but man, it wrecks my supraspinatus.

I was never a really wide bencher, so maybe I have some years left where I can play with wide. I’d like to keep rehabbing the shoulder so it’s a non issue and I can bench where I’m strongest.

My normal power stroke is thumb tips about 1 inch off of the smooth, I don't even consider it close grip unless my index finger is right up against the smooth. Now I need pinky or ring finger on the ring to be comfortable on my right side. Left seems to be doing well everywhere considering the recent surgery. I can do close grip but have to come down high on my chest with elbows out instead of tucked closer in to my body.

I have found different benefit from 4 different places: close/touching smooth, mid/thumb from smooth, my comp/pinky on ring, wide/2 fingers outside my comp.

I haven’t been able to train my close or mid grip until my elbow scope for a long time, so it’s been great!

I did get some value out of the mid grip for 2-board work as a primary accessory leading up to my last meet though. I think if the pain can be alleviated with limiting ROM, that variety has still been worthwhile for me personally.

I went to my grandsons birthday party and didn’t want to be the odd man out, so I sampled the food - 1 small piece of everything, and a salad smothered in dressing (pre mixed). I estimated the small plate to be around 1200 calories.

Then popcorn and two bites of cake.

And a cookie. Or three.

I am in a different boat, the internal rotation of close grip gets my subscap all out of sorts. I have to have my pinkies out by the ring now or my right shoulder bitches LOUDLY!
I spoke too soon. yesterdays incline was pretty painful so I'm going to have to work at that some more lol

I havent barbell pressed at an incline in years, but I remember when I did I had a completely different set of queues, and I did press with a narrower grip to protect my shoulders.

I really love the incline, but yeah... it's super hard to find a position that doesn't hurt the shoulders. Yet perfectly OH had never been an issue, and flat bench anytime I have an issue I can fix it with a week of kettlebell armbars (which tells me I should probably just do them every bench day as a preventative anyways).

Maybe proactively do them 3x a week? Do what you e got to do to be healthy!

I always ask when people write SLDL. Single leg deads or stiff leg deads? Or super long deadlift leverages?

SLDL is overwhelmingly used to denote straight/stiff leg deadlifts.

Single leg I am finding very useful lately personally, but a decade ago nobody even talked about activation/prehab/mobility drills. Then when that generation started getting hurt, we all had to start getting wiser and learning new tricks

So I always have to type Single Leg or One Leg Deadlifts out.
