My condolences man.
Your a good father to your kids (from reading on here) and that reflects upon how well he raised you.
Cherish his memory and honor him.

Thanks Rich…
The grief goes away after a while. After that, you just remember the good things he did.

I have one, like pictured above. Not perfect but its cheap and works.[/quote]
I’ve got home gym envy brother! GHR is the only thing I want that I’m missing at home. Not coincidentally it’s also next to impossible to find one on Craigslist and the cheapest ones I’ve seen online that look halfway decent are $500 or more when you add in shipping.

2 x 10 x 95
135 x 5
185 x 3

Shoulder shockers : 2 sets

^^^ this one is what I bought BUT!! its gone way up in price since then.
Warm up: Pvc pipe, stretching shoulder mobility work
Speed squats: A few warm up sets
8 x 3 x 315…ehh not as explosive as I would have liked
Reverse Band Squats: 1 x 2 x 420…I followed as written , I know Lilly based some of concepts off of “Big Iron” because of these being a staple in their squat routine.
Olympic Squats: 5 x 5 x 265…ATG, Used a low %.
Band GM’s: 50 reps
Standing Band crunches: 5 X 20
That would be it.
Went to do some accessory stuff…big mistake on my part.My shoulders were pretty much fried from all the squatting I did yesterday. Worked to only 180lbs on Military press for what should have been a easy set.After which I just shut it down felt like hell warmed over. In all reality I am going to go to the three day option present in Lilly’s E book and just tweak some of the accessory stuff. The harsh reality is at my age and not " supplementing" It pretty hard for me to recover from four days a week.
Warm up: pvc rolls light stretching
4’block pulls: 2 x 5 x 135
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 3
315 x 1
365 x 1
405 x 1
3 x 2 x 450…felt easy, except I was feeling my Lats say hello for some reason **
Snatch grip Deads: 2 x 8 x 315…went heavier then last time. Probably could have gone another 50 lbs heavier
Pendlay rows: 3 x 10 x some weight
Shrugs: 2 x 20 x 315
Standing Band crunches: 5 x 20
Went ahead and postpone this until today , since I’ve been scheduling these on Mondays.
**Nice thing about Block pulls that they have become a gauge lift for me. Normally I can pull 50 lbs more off the floor, Nice thing about the blocks it seems to be less stressful on my whole system.
I haven’t mention this on here ( I don’t think). Bullpup has decided to do a Meet with me this June.
Whole lotta strong going on in here. The Big Iron that you mentioned, is this the late Rick Hussey’s place in Omaha?
Condolences on losing your pops. Been down this road with both parents. Gone but never forgotten. I actually catch myself saying some of the same crap to my kids that my dad said to me.
A lot of good heavy lifting in here.
Belated condolences.
A Dawg/Pup meet should be epic for sure!

I wouldn’t say a whole lot of strong at this point.
Yep…That Big Iron may It and Hussey R.I.P, sadly from what I understand Big Iron closed down last Fall.
Thanks man I appreciate it, I’m still finding that I am dealing with a lot of issues in my head dealing with his passing. People have been telling me that I’m allot like my father…still not sure if that’s good or bad.

For the record… I’m not actually sure about The Cube for myself.
Alright, I’m honestly am not getting into The Cube at all for several different reasons which I will go into latter. I’m not knocking it, But its just isn’t for me. Now …I have gone totally insane ! After conferring with someone who’s knowledge and approach I respect. I’m going off the deep end for the next 9 weeks putting Deadlifts on the back burner and will be doing two squat sessions a week to really milk the movement. Yes , you hear me right. After which , Ill take a break for two weeks and start my peaking cycle for the next Meet.
Warm up: PVC rolls,light stretching,shoulder mobility work
