Hey Snap:
10x10 is a different beast, weights feel different. There is definitely a pre-exhaustion effect. The weights I can actually do 10x10 are a lesson in humility. 9th set on flat and decline were iffy… Hard to stabilize the DB’s.
Love the effects they are having on Body comp, size and balance… Tendons in forearms and shoulders have mostly healed up. DOMS is different too…
Just horrid on ego. Especially when someone at the gym (usually obviously new) will give me that look, rack a bit more then I had on. Knock out their 1 set and then give me a vanquishing hero look.
Just having that incline/decline discussion with my boy.
He swears (and has since forever) that he’s weaker on decline.
My max’s (Hammer Smith) are like 335 mp, flat, incline… but 450 decline (stack). 335’s are close or just the wrong side of injurious, but the 450 is doable, even doubl-able…
Felt like crap, work stress… Allergy exposure hit my lungs… Not too bad took albuterol and primatine… Better
Daughter wants me to get full custody and live with me full time due to verbal and emotional abuse.
$ is almost about to recover barring disaster or major set back… Been living on air so long, I was looking forward to having walking money. Oh well… Next life.
