TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

My forearms are pretty sore from "bending the bar" today. Hope it doesn't affect my grip tomorrow.

DLs call for 390x3+, and anything >3 is a PR. Hoping for 5...

Shoot for 7 get 5! That's always my strategy lol
Great workout today except for that "bent" bar...
 
Your reference to bending the bar. My remark was you bent the bar!
 
Great work. That's the same position I bench with 1-2" inside rings. Keep shoulders feeling good and I get a lot of lat & tricep drive. And a buddy benched 500 raw by that way and swears by it for raw guys (so you can sit on the lats better) and it really jives w/ me, so whatever.

I wear my elitefts elbow sleeves when my tendonitis gets grouchy, and they're tight enough I pull em down between sets if I use em. Worth it. And like Capo mentioned, I don't usually bother w/ the wrist wraps on bench until I get about 90%. Just doesn't make a difference for me before that.

Jeremy Hoornsta benches there too. Can't argue with a 672 bencher...
 
I think I could've slept this whole week. I'm definitely not feeling the 0330 wake ups right now. On the bright side, it'll force me to take a rest day tomorrow, maybe.
 
Oh, called INZER last night. They said a couple more weeks...

You guys tell me, does that last rep count? What can I do to improve that L-ockout?

Cancel your order dude. They haven't even touched yours yet. Pioneer sent my belt in 3 days. That's b.s.

I'm going to stubbornly stick with them on this, but I'll never order from them again. It took all afternoon just to get through to CS.
 
Doesn't really mean anything if you're sore or not. I do the same really for squats and deadlift. Chris Duffin's glute activation. Sometimes if needed, I'll mash my glutes or hamstrings with a lacrosse ball, or maybe a hip flexor stretch. That's all dependant on the day.

390 DL PR! Nice job! Now all you have to do is add a 5 lb plate on each side! Cake!
 
There's that mental block thinking 5 lbs is heavy. Gotta look at it as "only" 5lbs.

Congrats on the PR man! Solid lifting going to beast mode! Breakout the FINAFLEX FREAK shirt and wear it proudly!

I will definitely hit 400x4 on the next triples week. Especially if I keep eating like I do. lol

Thanks Brian.
 
I accidentally "Marked All As Read", again. Dang...

If I miss an update on anyone's log, sorry. Just pretend I'm creepin' today...
 
Not exactly the best the angle, but looked like you locked it out. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Nice work ma man

Heck yeah that counts!! Awesome job Thomas. Those Octagon plates have got to suck!
 
Wow, fuk INZER.

Congrats on the PR. Think about how far you've came in the past few months, man. It's awesome.

And Sean's got ya covered on warm-up stuff. The key is to not overthink it.

Did you catch the nudes before they got deleted? ;)
 
You know you wouldn't have had this problem if you'd bought a Titan belt.... (lol just playing the old Ford vs Chevy argument)

You'll know if you're locked out - you have no where else to go remotely if you are. Looked good to me! Nice progress brother. And regarding the warmup drills - think about it like an investment. Do you hop in your car when it's bone cold and mash the pedal to the carpet? Nope. And metal is a lot tougher than people parts, so if anything you wanna be more careful.

Not saying you should do all those (or that I do, because I don't) but they're a pretty awesome place to start. 10 min to warmup is worth saving weeks skipping lower body work because you pulled a ham.

I'm game for the warmups. I have plenty of time now that I split my upper back off from that day.

Rest day today. A monsoon came through when it was gym time so I decided to stay in bed.
