Crap wife reminded me we have plans this afternoon . Have to move lifting to Thursday.
Ted Arcedi lives in my area. He owns a local business selling workout equipment. I bought some used 45ās off him a few years ago. Nice guy.
Not going to lie . Im jealous even at my age I might find myself geeked out if I meet him.
Bench: 340 x 9 ā¦ehh started to feel sloppy so I said enough
Buffalo Bar Bench: 3 x 5 @ 260 ( all reps paused)
Swiss bar inverted rows: total of 50 reps
Incline DB press: 3 x 10 -15 @ SW
Lying rolling DB extensions: 3 x allot @ SW
Band pulls to throat: 3 x 20
Wasnt sure how this session was going to turn outā¦ considering how things had went the past three session along with how I felt today, I had only planned on doing the bare minimum of reps. Well ego kicked in and made myself a liar

Whatās the buffalo bar like to bench with?
Like the old camber bar for more ROM?
It not that bad to use Itās not as extreme as the old school cambered bars. But yes Iām using it to increase the ROM and working the lower end of the movement
Nice !!
Iāve had my eye on one of those for sometime.
How does it sit in the rack J hooks for squats and BP?
Do you need to adjust it ever time ? Does the corner of the bar get ground up where it sits?
Well when i first got it I didnāt have allot of issues with it fitting some what secure in my j hooks. But I had a fabrication guy modify my j hooks for something( for the record I donāt have a bench with up rites so I rely on my power rack.) after I did that things got slightly wonky but not too bad. I will say even before that the bar would like to slide slightly when unloading 45 plates due to how it sits in the hooks . Havenāt notice allot of grinding on the knurling as of yet.

Do you have any real good stuff for the hip?
If your talking pre or rehab stuff . Not really since I view that stuff above my pay grade. At least in regards to advising other regarding that sort of thing especially if someone might be dealing with a issue.
I myself will hit up a physical therapist I know when stuff arises on my own end.
Keeping your cards close to your vest. I can respect that.

Lolā¦ its nothing like that. I just feel im not qualified enough to advice people on specific rehab stuff . Prehab the only wisdom I have is identify the root cause and address it before things go down hill. Be it mobility issueā¦ muscle imbalance and so forth. I honestly dont have any Ace up my sleeveā¦

I love that scene were they come charging out of the castle and the trees are all blooming and everything is all hype and vigorous.
