Consul hi there You are probably right, sometimes i tune out the music or if Im doing a certain lift will pick slow, fast whatever. Thanks on form, i love the FS
G1 hmmm, well if not parallel its damn close, Ill take it
DBasler Yea the BSS I probably cuss more than usual in my head doing those. They are definitely a keeper.
Id LOVE to get up to 35s at some point.Ill use straps when i do 30s, i think.
This was a good day of training. I need to be smart this time around. Its so , so EASY to get hung up on that first lift, going for more depth, more weight better form. When I first started training I was so good about listening and following my program, but then I did the above, just one more set, one more rep, deeper, better etc. and before i knew it *BAM I was spent 3/4 threw my training. I started skipping the accessory work, or not doing as many reps, sets,etc. I wont be doing that.(G1 are you smiling?) Its laid out for a reason and where the hell am I going I cant be patient? So back in will be box squats, pause squats, BSS 6-0 etc etc.
Thanks for listening.
Great FS form and lunges look good too. Have you ever tried a Zercher Harness? My harness has FS hooks too so I donāt put any stress on my wrists holding the bar, itās great, and the weights Iām using are higher because of the ease on my shoulders, wrists, and arms. Also, Zercher squats with the harness are excellent for building hip power.

Hi GV No, I havent. I dont have any pressure on my wrists, I dont even know I did them the next day (wrist wise). I have done just regular zercher with padded trail socks over my forearms(elbow crease).
Id have to see if they had that at my gym, but i hate doing my squats there, the mirrors so close call me forward, hate that. You are correct in that I could use more power, i do lack that super hero thing

Great job Up!!! Hang in thereā¦1 more day [/quote]
I know, I know. Not sure what Im not liking about this? Every other day seemed good, but I guess i did tend to make it stretch out. Plus by evening Im like, oh that was fine, i can hit it again tomorrow.Just ignore me
I never did tell you the BBer girl said she could see me with another 2-3 lbs of muscle.
Now if we all could just put said muscle right where we want it there wouldnt be a problem.
Pfft the 2 lbs of fat that comes with it, more to love, hahaha
You are probably right, sometimes i tune out the music or if Im doing a certain lift will pick slow, fast whatever. Thanks on form, i love the FS
