Felt some super strength today despite the low intensity work everything moved like gluten, gmo, nitrate and sugar free butter baby

Everything was clicking this afternoon so I’m hoping that continues to Friday *fingers crossed*. I’ve gotten a grip on my eating as well lol so, I should see my weight dip a couple pounds (2-3lbs) on my morning weigh-Ins.

Off to church!

Be easy
God bless
Do you mash your lower abdomen before doing your hip resetting exercises? I saw that on a SmashRx video for it and had not seen that before but he said that sometimes you have to get the muscles surrounding the pelvis to relax so that the bones can move more freely back into position. He did it laying on a slam ball, I saw another video they used just basically a kick ball or whatever. So I am thinking I might try adding that in and see if I get more of a pop into place. I don't get the clunk all the time. T^hey say it isn't required but it just seems like an appropriate finish line. You feel / hear that and you know you are in position now.

I have in the past (I used a soccer ball), haven’t in well over a year or so. I get an audible clunk/pop almost every time and you’re right, that’s how I know it’s go time.

Do you feel like it maybe helped you get to the point that you get the audible clunk now? I guess I should just give it a shot and see if it helps with mine.

Honestly couldn’t say if it did or didn’t. I only did it a few times.

Today felt a little heavier than I should have in my opinion. Not sure what was going on with my squats but as I got to my top sets my form completely changed. Had some serious knee valgus happening with my right knee. Guess it was just one of those workouts. Oh well.

Be easy
God bless!

Oh yeah, to help my satiety while I decrease some CHO consumption, I added 2.5c of mixed greens/cabbage with 4oz of chicken for my lunch and moved my mango 20min pre workout to “use up” the CHO. The salad also helps my micros so idc lol

Nice work was surprised how far your knees went forward with that squat. Almost like you were not pushing the hips back during the initiation of the squat, but could have just been the angle.

Well at least it wasn't before the squats the blood pressure from them would have really sucked. I imagine that it was the pressure that caused it.

Hope it is gone now!

Well, lol it actually all went down hill. So, I got home and the headache subsided for 30-45min. Went to church and it came back, ten fold. Then, it progressed to nausea.

Long story short, I got a 48hr bug. Loose stools, vomiting, dizzy all accompanied by a debilitating headache. Wife wanted me to go to the ER because she was afraid I may have the flu and we have my three year old daughter that we wouldn’t want to get sick. So, i went.

That bug dehydrated me like crazy. They gave me a promethazine shot, which killed the nausea but also made me groggy. Pumped me with two bags of fluid and gave me two other meds and something to stop the migraine type headache.

Stayed home today, can’t shake the promethazine feeling. Heads heavy and my vision doesn’t feel right.

Singles were looking on point, as were calves

Definitely could have doubled the squat like you said

I *believe* with my top 3rm being around a @9 I get some PAP for my single, sometimes (even last weeks video) fees like I sandbagged it. But, I want progression and not to dig my self into the ground :(

Hope you had a great thanksgiving bro!

Sure did; on that pie-gainz train! And slow and steady wins the race. Errybody want it overnight, but it’s about long term progress and trusting the process.

If both felt off you could have just had a weaker day. Do you do any hip stretching prior to squatting? Like a split squat type stretch. Sometimes I really need to, but generally not.

I sometimes get that same pain. Oddly, a quick static stretch (8 secs) of the calves and a heeled shoe have mostly eliminated it for me. I guess my dorsal flexion is junk. Those shoes though....

I’m so hesitant with static stretching or any stretching for that matter (particularly anything that stabilized my lumbar/pelvic floor) because of these stupid discs.

yeah, I pinch an tennis ball between my calf and hamstring and put my ankle through flexion/dorsi every morning.

I *use* to use Jordan’s hip flexor(s) stretch https://youtu.be/mHJNrXvXXtk this guys brilliant btw, IMO. His podcasts are pretty informative as well.

I’ll try stretching it some tonight before my AR session.

Thanks gents.

If I do anything that hits lower body my hammies get tight. This ends up tightening up my glutes/piriformis which in turn mess with my psoas on the front side of the hips. And all this hip mess ends up straining my lumbar when trying to reach depth if the hips are too tight, from the hammies. To say nothing of the IT bands yanking on things.

So a quick roll of the hams and ITB, then maybe a lacrosse ball around the glutes if I feel any spots, then a barbell rolled/mashed NEAR the groin and/or a lunge-position stretch will get me totally unlocked. THEN I find I can brace proper without effort. This should take about 5 min.

If my hams are super tight, standing on a lacrosse ball rolling my fascia for about 45 sec a side will increase hamstring ROM significantly as well.

Wide grip lat pulldown

Man, I felt really good this afternoon minus the hip pinching. I’m going to try and pin the TFL and ITB down with a LAX ball and rumble roller and go through a ROM with my leg, I’ll also try and be more consistent with stretching that dude out before lifting. Friday I’m gunning for 335 for a single on squats, if I nail it.. whale I ain’t wearing no diaper and I made it with time to spare! Ayeeeee


Anyways
Be easy

We made it squad! *i know the angle is garbo, my phone tipped the minute I walked away .. I’m going to attempt 340-345 next week probably so I’ll record that, If this doesn’t suffice.

Beltless SLDL 2x5r

* was going to do another set but had to bounce. Wife and kiddo were waiting on me to go uptown to partake in some Christmas festivities and frankly they take precedence over everything so, that last set can suck it.

I’m beyond pumped, my squat is only 17lb off from my best attempt in my meet. My bench is 14lb off from my meet and well my deadlift I don’t want to talk about . So, this block has been very good to me! Let’s keep the momentum.

Be easy
God bless!

Great brace, really locked it all in solid - I know your head isn’t there yet, but you need to start visualizing yourself defeating 365. It’s closer than you think.

Hope the fam is well!

Thanks brodie. When I squat 365, I’ll be over the moon lol I’ll deload after week 6 and restart and maybe 365 will fall in the second quarter of 2019!

Fams good, has your woman (or you for that matter) started wedding preparations?
