I honestly tried not to, but I had so much luck with pounding out a few at 290+ last weekend that I figured don't rock the boat and just keep that momentum.
I felt the same way about today's training session. But, if frequency is high enough, that's OK right? When will you hit it again?
after 25 years I don't know the science. I studied all of Hyde's recommendations for Dapack, watched how many days they take off pre comp etc and I feel like if I miss a week I go backwards. of course, if I do too much, I go backwards... lol
Sunday with my boy for sure. So it's a toss up on whether or not I will go for 305 having a 14yr old spot me. if we get my buddy to join us for an all out bro sesh I'll probably go for it. If not, then i'll have a killer volume day for sure lol
Don’t sweat it; you are doing work and obviously getting stronger.
You have a porcupine lodged in your throat and you still trained. Fuk volume
you know what's funny is how much I am still developing the skill of bench press. after a million reps (actually I did the math, it's probably less than 200,000 reps) I am still noticing some things improving. My descent at 295 and 300 yesterday felt incredible, like a light bulb went off. They were a tiny bit on the slow side but felt crazy controlled. I'm becoming more aware of seeing people absolutely collapse at the bottom as well on heavy efforts and I think my own experience + observing others is helping to improve my form a bit. (plus that advice you gave me last summer to get 315+ in my hands as often as possible)
ahaha yeah. I told my wife I finally understand why my grandpa walked around with a handkerchief
I wasn't snotty at the gym or anything but the past few days have felt like my head was in a tunnel, hard to hear and focus. My buddy suggested I take an antihistamine so I popped an allegra after the gym yesterday and felt almost immediately better, today I feel 99% recovered, except I slept on my arm poorly and my left shoulder is killing me like when you get a stiff neck from a bad pillow lol
honestly only things that keep me from training are either schedule conflicts, or like all out depression. I'll train in a bad mood, but not in a low mood, I've learned sometimes that mental health recovery is actually more important for me even than physical recovery.
I’m dealing w shoulder pain on the left also. It’s the way I sleep or bad posture on the couch so I can be close to My Lady. I drive w left arm, when I put my harness on for working in the bucket it hurts then. Thought it was rotator or labrum but I can’t feel it notching, clicking or popping. No movement hurts other than flys which I have abandoned. Can barbell bench, incline db, barbell row, pull-down, lat prayers, seated military press, and Skull crushers on an incline all feel great. I can take a week off and it still hurts. Maybe it’s just tendinitis?you know what's funny is how much I am still developing the skill of bench press. after a million reps (actually I did the math, it's probably less than 200,000 reps) I am still noticing some things improving.

Sorry Brother, I can't share the specifics of his meal plan as much as I would like too.
Forget that, the people really just want to see Kleen do the 10,000 calorie challenge on video!
Weird phantom pain. And then it just went away. And why do we all own a “bad pillow”. I have one I love and the other fuks my shiz up. I should just throw the damn thing out.
Once I put in about ten+ lbs this past winter as weird as this sounds I had to start sleeping with my arms in a different position lol. It's not like I put on 60lbs of muscle. But as I grew I did have to position my arms different in bed lol
So maybe I need to cycle pillows through. I’ll have a bulking pillow and a cutting pillow. Lmao
You supply me with the A5 Wagyu ribeyes for the day and I am in! I know I could do 10,000 grand on that, what would it be like 2lbs of that stuff. Basically 1.25lbs of fat there. LOL. Only a $1000 dollar day, but I could force it down.Forget that, the people really just want to see Kleen do the 10,000 calorie challenge on video!

I'm with her lolHeck yeah man looks nice there! I keep trying to convince my wife to move back to Alaska, but I don’t think I’m going to win the battle
It’s like when the house is 68 in the summer w AC on and you r in shorts and a tank, but when the heat is only set to 68 in the winter you r in sweats and a hoodie
Well, this is the easiest way to explain the humidity effect to out of towners that I have come up with from trying to explain why it feels so much hotter or colder here at the same temperature as where they live.
it's so weird man. Texas is the worst humidity I've seen. In fact, I didn't really know what humidity was until I was doing business in Austin in my late 20s and couldn't figure out why my skin felt wet when it was like 65f out. I thought it was just oily water or something from the hotel.
Honestly I think he could probably hack more than me at this point, I've used a hack squat machine so rarely I have always found them to be very hard. I've seen him leg press 450 and I try to watch his knees and use these machines as a precursor to prepare him for squat form. Getting him on a hack squat machine was sorta cool because I felt like we had an even better chance to truly look at foot position, knees etc and start to develop some good habits. The kid is strong as hell but now he's talking about a buddy of his doing arm work and whatnot so I'm glad that as a freshman in high school that competitive side is coming in. before long training sessions with dad will probably fall off but he will be training more regularly with the bros at school and hopefully with some good etiquette and form that I can teach him in the meantime.Nice workout….it’s always good when you’re able to bring your son, and can teach them first hand how to properly train. Hack squatting over 200 lbs for reps is good start for your son.
Tu necesitas practicar tus idioma todos los dias! I'm sitting around a 635 day streak I think. I always get more time in before and after Mexico trips. it's so freaking hard but I have sorta accepted that it's a lifetime pursuit!
honestly? extremely. I listen to as much spanish music as I can, and try to watch some spanish tv but so far duolingo has done far more. On our trip to Guadalajara last month really almost nobody spoke English and we did fine. I didn't realize how far my spanish had come until my wife said she'd be stuck at the airport without me lol (shows you how brave she is to truly enjoy herself in an area where she couldn't communicate with anyone but me).
That is one thing i can say I am lucky to have if I do indeed start learning Spanish. Due to my location I have a plethora of people who would help me by having some conversations in Spanish as long as I was showing the initiative they would actually be honored I was trying to learn and happy to be a part of it.
Did your son ever struggle with butt wink on a squat? My son can't get figure out how to stick his butt out so his lower back rounds every rep on a squat, so he's only doing goblet squats with a light dumbell now. Any thoughts?
A little but wink is actually not an issue. A pronounced one, not so good. Also he may just need to work on his initial set up. I am sure @Hyde or one of the powerlifters might have more good suggestions to fix it but it could also just be bone / hip structure.
man I have tried so much to use that perk. I have a ton of mexican co-workers, one of which went to Guadalajara with me last month, and another is 15ft from my desk. I will ask them questions frequently but it's never really enough to "just go for it" and converse in espanol lol. I do better when I'm forced into it Mexico and spanish is my only option. my ears start to pick it up way better when I'm in the country surrounded by it all day.
My son, being 14, is not yet comfortable in a public squat rack surrounded by yoga pants everywhere when attempting foreign ideas so we haven't really pushed it that far. in general I'd say no, his biggest fail is knees caving in and heels coming up, but I'm already seeing him fix that big time. I'd have to see your sons squat, generally speaking relaxing the lumbar is either from just not being aware of it or simply squatting too deep. I agree with Kleen, a buttwink in and of itself isn't an injury waiting to happen, where I have seen sorness (still not really an injury though) is guys relaxing their lower lumbar area deep in the squat like on a pause squat for a number of reps.
I think it's mostly a lack of awareness for his lumbar spine...and I don't know the verbal cues for an 11 year old lol. This is with bodyweight squats also, so can't blame it on bar style yet. He's got the rest down pretty well...chest up, heels down, don't let knees cave (in line with toes), just that tail tuck left.man I have tried so much to use that perk.

Love the idea of goblet squats as a squat substitute for now as well. good on you!
I'm trying to imagine a scenario where not getting his butt out is causing the butt wink though.
Generally speaking the things I'm watching first are knees, heels, and good mornings. From there I'm looking at bar path. even though I've gone away from high bar, I think it's fine but a common fail I see in newbs is a higher bar position with a low bar squat so what ends up happening is the barbell is more over their toes than mid foot at the bottom (= sore lower back).
the more I think it through it sounds like you're describing your son as maybe having a low bar position with more of a higher bar style squat?
Funny, I was gonna recommend squatting to a medball lol
It’s hard to diagnose the cause of butt wink in person, let alone online with not a ton of info, but here we go…
That's a great start, thanks. We'll implement after he's done with his current run of the flu
Oh man... you're so close! Congrats!
