Amen to that, it ain't easy.
Bring on the gains.
It was a good weekend got in a little training. Had an odd couple of days where my left hip seemed to get really inflamed by something, but I...
Thanks man. He’s been doing good. Last week’s xray at 2.5 weeks post reset showed good callusing around the breaks and alignment still great. He’s scheduled to get his cast off June 4th right...
Thank you; I know the weight wasn’t too heavy for the day and my volume/progression in recent weeks is good for me based on how easy 495 was prior. I just didn’t stay tight enough initially...
solid weekend session!
how is your boy doing?
you know with pulls, I have generally been "if I can break the ground" then its going to go. That might be from a lot of years of rack pulls and...
You like DIM for estrogen control over something like Inhibit-E (abieta, I3C, etc.)? I'm going to need to start something up for daily use I think and I have that on hand, but have never really...
Ran out of my 200mg DIM that I take year round, so I took 12.5mg Aromasin yesterday. Still, by end of Sat I was feeling some nipple sensitivity, and I hadn’t even taken my daily test/trest. So...
Spot on. The challenge was certainly not pulling 225 off the floor - it was trying to finish 300+ at the top with my tight elbow lol.
To be clear, this was just a random attempt, not a set. And...
Only problem with banded rows is that the weight jacks up at the part where you're already weakest, so it doesn't really match the strength curve of the muscle super well.
Bands are mainly good if you are lifting too slowly - they will punish you if you cruise & reward high rate of force production.
If you find yourself grinding slower on the big 3, running a wave...
Man my step daughter called me one time while I was working out. She had a flat tire so I had to change it. Good work considering the interruption. I need to try the banded rows. I do a lot of...
Yeah, I definitely don’t trust those jacks. I’ve never tried a barbell row with bands either, but it definitely makes sense, and would take momentum out of the equation making rows tougher for sure.💪
Also, tried to barbell row 225 against double minibands run across the platform, but when the bands kicked in I couldn’t pull it to my stomach. But at least we gave it the ol’ college try 😝

The way this week is going will be:
Sun - OHP
Mon - squats
Weds - rest
Thurs - bench
Fri - deadlifts
Sat - rest
Sun - OHP
So my thinking was that probably Thursday then would be the "off" day...
Or maybe you do the curls every day except before deadlifts?
But overall then you would have 3 curl exposures a week at least, which is more than now so perfect step up.
It was honestly really fun, it felt good, intentional, and was shockingly short for how successful it felt in terms of hitting goals. Been thinking a lot about how the one thing that isn't...
