Props to you bulldog your a strong ass dude. I’m kinda rebuilding too. Relearning (And still learning) how to properly brace is going to keep me healthy on my way up.

Thanks for the compliment brother. Yeah, im dealing with bracing issues myself because of a abdominal issue. So im sorta in the same boat because of learning how to brace a little different.

Oh damn that’s a tough work around for the weights you work with! Guess you have a lot more in the tank, damn. I’m trying to listen to my body. Problem is my work schedule is so demanding hours and travel wise my consistency has suffered. So I’m trying but I’ve definitely gotten out of my groove. Hit some squats today though!! OHP tomorrow…

Oh yeah , plenty of fuel in the tank. But the Engine needs a overhaul.

I had the same issue at certain point… between a full time job and making the proper time raising two sons. You know how it is , it becomes a matter of just squeezing gym time when you can.

Guess I should video my ghr’s but since I didn’t, how hard are they for you? And do you set your knees below or on the pad? I make a one pin adjustment and it gets way harder too the point I’m compromising form.

With the floor model I had there was no knee below the pad. Now from
what I know a little knee below is acceptable as long as your still feeling it in the correct spot.

How you phrased that I could make some crude joke. Honestly wish I knew how much band tension was in play.

Been advice to use same percentage i selected for the pendulum wave on dynamic squats. But move up to a average band as opposed to the light one I used.

deadlifts

Modified sumo 4 inch block pulls: worked up to a top working single, went down and did 3 x 3 @ 70% of top working single. At this stage trying to get the movement down the weight itself doesnt feel heavy just awkward .

Lunges: 3 x 10 @ SW
Hyper extensions: 5 x 10
Standing band crunches: 5 x 20
