Completely unrelated to lifting but it has been a very good dog day, in one day I may have gone from having no dogs (a very sad state of affairs) to three dogs.
Back to lifting, great to hear you didn’t need the straps. Is the clip with rubber glove thing still working well?
HA! Silverblood :)!
WHOA!!!Nice Scotto! Three love bugs now!! That’s great!!! I bet they are even happier!!
The gloves are still working with the clips too! I think this friday I will add a tiny bit of wt so it might not fly.

clean grip lunges 95x5 /leg, 115x5/leg
busted up ghr’s x 30 reps of not full rom stupid thing is still messed up. Also just not that into it today for lifts in general.
At home I’m doing some bulgarians lunges -bw 5 sets of 10 per leg. My legs have lost a lot of size the last year or so, about an inch and a half per leg. And they are I believe weaker, so why not do some bulgarians.

farmers walks with 137# per hand for same longer misc distance as last week.
Went well again today! Not as good as last week but I am happy I had some decent distance between stops, my speed was for sure better, grip too was good! No straps!

The harassment worked!! I shall take full credit for the NEW GHR at the gym! AH HA HA!!!
ghr’s x10, x11, x12, x13, x14, x15, x5
I wanted to do more but between a sets someone doing the, "Let’s teach the girlfriend how to WORK OUT MAN " type situation going strutted on up. Along with the girl and an ace sideman bro along with him .So it appeared- , bro jumped on thinking it was free and promptly rolled the feet way back and did back extensions in the half circle of adoring friend/girlfriend waiting to learn to LIFT. I like to add as well he set his coffee on the reverse hyper because…its a coffee table I guess for bros training their girlfriends.
Oh well, at least I can use it! And it seems more legit then the other one which is in a corner of shame now. The new one actually slides back so you can get a much better fit for your legs. HA HA! I left a nice smiley face thank you note for it as well.
I also did back extensions on a thing meant for only back extensions.
That’s really great, so much win here between the GHR and farmers walks
:D!! Thanks Scotto!!
It has been too cold and snowy to do farmers walks this week or walking the long walks with Mossi. Had a wild temperature drop of 50 degrees on I think tuesday or monday. Balmy almost in the morning then rock bottom cold by sunset.
Instead I did cardio weds, yesterday, and some cardio today after deadlifts. I might switch up my days and do deeds of friday or saturday now since I get more time those days. Maybe farmers on thursdays and saturdays deads? whatever. I might just have to swap depending on the weather could be a easy fix.
I worked on my hands the last few days and that helped a lot, smoothed out my callouses and bumpy palms.

Did I see a vid of the old machine a ways back?..maybe another thread. Sounds pretty cool though, be fun to try one someday. I do hip thrusters on a smith machine; works very well indeed. I thought I was being clever…along with a million other people, so I’ve seen on the Intranet.
I’ve got 27Lbs. of Beagle with cabin fever at home…Hope yours isn’t as unruly!
BTW–Kpsnap mentioned a meet 12/9 and 10 in Aurora…sounds like fun!
Happy Lifting
ERIC D.
AH Eric! Moss is being pretty patient with the frigid cabin fever but it won’t last long! I can’t wait to get him out this weekend! We both need to air-iate a bit, dear me.
Word! Well if you do the meet good luck!!! My short lived meet days are over but I do really like Dan and Jen who will probably be covering the meet since they do most USAPL stuff in the state. They are good folk!

I guess I am on maintenance mode for lifts. Not really excited to do em or feel that surge. Maybe its just winter kinda blahs- all the same 'tis fine with me.
Yesterday’s pull ups
11, 4 sets of 10, then the pause ones for a mixed up total of 100
I should get these better organized. I get in a hurry and don’t give myself enough rest between sets so I can get better sets.
Today
fs 145x5, 155, 175, 195, 205, 215, 220
180x11, 190x4, 200x2, 210
180x5, 190x3, 200x2, 210
180x4, 190x2, 200, 210
I was then curious so I went to my car and I tried a belt for front squats for the first time ever.
Belted felt noticeably easier. I have never belt trained much let alone on front squats, a few times on deadlifts I have tried but just never kept using it.
belted fs 135, 175, 195, 205, 215
Something to consider I guess. Maybe for fancy days? Could be a fluke event too and not a huge difference.
Also back extensions
Funny about the belt…I use one for fronts, in the smith machine…GASP!!! “Oh my god, whats he doing over there”. If I KNOW I can get 5 or so reps…no. But when I wanna push things a bit…sure I’ll use one. Just another tool as we always read and hear. Truth is, I use it a bunch, but I know I’m smart about it.
I am however, still trying to figure out what these ‘pullups’ you speak of are…they just don’t ring a bell; Hmm.
And BTW–I may GO TO WATCH the meet, but I’m to vain to try to COMPETE IN ONE! To weak, get it? Hah.
Happy Lifting-
ERIC D.
AHH!!! ERIC!! Just clear the air! I am not anti belt! I am not anti anything really. Everyone has their thing and god knows I do my own thing. Who cares if its doing what you need it to do for you? This applies to lifting and to lots of areas in life in my eyes!
I even own have two belts! One is a old ass prong belt I got at a thrift store for $8 and one I specifically purchased new, in a fancy color, with a lever trying to get use out of a belt. And of course, the thrift store one is the one I like best.
I did the math wrong the last time for my carries. Today I did the same as the last time two weeks ago. Same wt, and it went much better! Longer distances between stops. I hope it continues this way.
farmers walks- #127 / hand misc distance
Then I walked Moss our long lovely weekend walk. I had to do laundry so between loads of the washer and dryer I went to the gym .

Both amusing statements, in their own way. Got G.Bean ect. Casserole in the fridge right now! As far as ‘special prizes’, do I really NEED to set PR’s on Hip Thrusters to justify the shoes I just bought? Am I doing it backwards? 'Cause ya know, there’s always a pair of shoes out there somewhere…Just saying.
You are however motivating me to try pull/chin ups ect…it’s been 5ish years since I’ve tried. Jeez. Dips are back on the menu as well…shoulder permitting. Time will tell.
Happy Carb Loading!

Happy Thanksgiving, Brute.
