I DO love me a good chocolate binge.

Backoff week rolls on.
Sn Pull - first from the floor, rest from the hang
50kgx5
60x5
70x5
Cln DL
85kgx5
100x5
115x5
Seriously, Wendler? I added a hang power clean at the end of every set. Just because.
Cheatsy Squats
70kgx10
90x10x4
90x11 - added the extra rep to hit 10000+lbs.
BSS x 10 x 2
McGill Crunches x 20, x15
Glute Bridges - 50 reps
How many more deloady days you got left?? I have tomorrow and then Tuesday I get to be back at it, woo hooo!!
Monday, Tuesday and then Thursday starts it up again. I didn’t even back off on the volume for my BBB today. I needed to feel like I did SOMETHING. I mean BESIDES shovel. I’ve managed to push the same 3-9" of snow off my driveway 4x in the last 24 hours. Plus I shoved a lot of the back half of the close around so it’s not as ugly to drive through.

I know! This shit is crazy. I live in an apartment so I don’t have to shovel, but I also don’t own a vehicle and I am anal about my bus tickets so walking is kinda my main mode of transportation.
I appreciate everyone who shovels their sidewalks ![]()
The light weights for a week won’t kill you
Bitch all you want. You’ll be chewing through the bar and hitting new rep PRs next cycle ![]()

Warmups.
3Board
70kgx5
80x5
90x5
Couldn’t handle the prescribed weights. Making a change to the backoff week stuff. I have my limits for minimums.
OHP
95#x10x5
Love the drill work aspect of this stuff. I have such a better position now for ohp.
Paloff Press x 10 x 3
Band Rows x 20 x 3
Done. Man, backoff week gets old fast.
Shoveling snow, my back is hurting more just thinking about it. And yes listen to Ms Pixie!
She keeps me honest, yes, but dammit I shouldn’t be deadlifting weights I can power clean.
nice pulls and nice squats.
I like the sn grip RDL need to rob that.
welcome
Thanks!
I have yet to find a better exercise for my hamstrings than that one. For straight up glute-murdilization, however, nothing beats the opposite arm, single leg RDL. Like a ballpeen hammer got taken to your ass.

Warmups.
Cheatsy Bench Squats
70kgx10
95x5
115x5
137.5x5 - added the change to make it 300+
Fast. Especially for 5am. Made the plates sing a little.
SG RDLS
50kgx10
70x10x3
Had to pull the plug and get on with the day. Workout took 30 minutes. Warmups took 45.
Backoff week is blissfully over.

See, now I can’t do those because I have no balance.
My deload is finished too, horrahh! ![]()
Keep one hand on the wall or holding onto a rack or something. I’m there to work muscles, not work my “functional balance” or something ![]()
I can hear the sneer in that statement
Yay to the end of backoff week!

My lack of balance is impeding my big butt quest gottdammit.

What really is “functional” anyway? Well you seem to know your prioritises! And a happy ending to your deload.
The balance on my right is mucho suckier than my left. Working those weaknesses will STILL get me a good butt though!

One comment about working ass and all the women from PW come in. I think I see the trend here ![]()
