Oh yeah, could it be that the militaries felt very heavy and you sort of threw your tris in without really thinking about it?
Anythings possible, I just didn’t see that coming at all. At most I might have expected the reps to stay the same but when I say I couldn’t lift it, it might as well have been 200lbs…sucked ass.
Maybe it was indeed 200 lbs and you really just messed up while loading the bar ;)[/quote]

The squats were nice, still feels kind of “off” and I think I still have to go lower, but I’ll work it out.

Well I got back home last night. New Years was unremarkable, hope everyone had a good time. I kept up my eating pretty well but it could have been better but considering the circumstances I did quite alright.
My right shoulder has really been hurting a lot since Tuesday but I think it’s just a muscular thing so I’m not gonna worry about it. Worked arms on Friday in a sort of “back off” workout, took Saturday and taking today “off” and will start hard again tomorrow.
Missed everyone, good to see everyone is more or less on track.

Hoho, I’m going to send my black stormtroopers of death over to hunt me some cardio bunnies(like you, for example)…
With guys like you to defend the U.S., I can only win.
I bet you’re so weak that you can’t even hold a gun anymore. That’s what all the bodyweight exercises do to you.
Easy to do 500 chinups when you weigh 10 lbs from all the cardio you’re doing.
But hey, look at the bright side.
At least you marines are good at running, which you’ll be doing plenty. Like, away from the battle.

Do you feel the same thing when doing front squats?
Haven’t tried them yet, but aren’t front squats done with a narrower stance? If so, my flexibility isn’t nearly good enough yet.[/quote]
I have not had any problems using a wider stance with front squats. From my experience, front squats require less ankle flexibility since the weight is in front of your body and allows you to stay on your heels easier.

Makes sense, and I’ve got one more thing to try in the gym. Thanks for the advice.
Plus some HS V-squats and Smith toe raises on a block.
A question for the DC folks: When you’re doing rest-paused rack chins how do you pause? do you just hang there or do you sit on the ground for a few seconds then set up again?
