Nice lifts!
Unfortunately, that dumbass would still miss the point.

I tried…
I look at it this way…
Its a Troll thread and if I had to guess its a member with a dummy account.
Now on the other hand… if the person is being half way legit. As egotistical as this sounds on my end. I need to be educated by him as much as I need a case of the clap. Besides my resume is most likely is bigger.

The only thing not consistent is my step count. Which depends on whats going on at work since is where the majority comes from. It can very from day to day from 9k - 15k. Ive been lazy and not doing anything on the airdyne to up the cal expenditure weekly.

I ve been perplexed since I been back at it over my pulling. Ive never really been a good puller and its been awhile. BUT DAMN. My training weight is significantly low factoring certain factors.
Then it dawned on me… its a technical error . Im not "wedging " ( if you know you know)
Lets see what happens when i consciously think about it today.
Warm up : 2x15 reverse hypers
Dynamic Box squat: 10 x 2 @ 65%
On a whim i used the Buffalo bar. Must have done something correctly , my shoulder mobility has improved. Zero discomfort… still be awhile before i try a more narrow powerbar
Gut is telling me doing these will be beneficial . Definitely helped in warming the posterior chain and waking up the CNS. Without allot of fatigue going into pulls.
Wagon wheel deads: top set of 5
Yes i remembered to wedge. Of course not as beneficial with wagon wheels.
Dead stop RDL: 2 x 6… kicking myself . Probably should have got awat from doing RDL OR Stiff legs . IN the past Stiff legs were my goto movement in my youth.
Reverse Hypers: 3 x15… getting the movement down again. Doing a pause and contraction at the top. Got a feeling these will start shooting up quickly.
Stand cable crunches: 5 x 10

Adding this bodyweight dynamic warmup routine (from the Powerlifting book by Dan Austin) prior to warming up with the bar, made ALL the difference to me. It may seem a bit basic, and who am I to give an experienced lifter advice - But nevertheless, if the pro’s apply it, I’m willing to bet it’s good. As far as I’m concerned, my cranky joints went smooth and my lifts went up! Yes, the upper version also works re bench.
Upper/lower warmup takes about 7 mins…

Experience lifter? Who me?
Nawh your good… im not offended or anything if thats a concern . I appreciate the input and i am honestly interested in how everyone on here approaches things on their end.
I actually do have a set routine I do before hand before i touch a bar. I just dont normally mention it, mostly now in the form of mobility work. Which will very depending on what the core lift is for the given day along with how im feeling.
Like yesterday before i got under the bar to do those squats. I took a lacrosse Ball to my upper pec region and worked on my lats. Along with a few others stretches just so i could get the bar seated where it needed to be to sit comfortably.

You mean after all those previous years of lifting you aren’t an experienced lifter?
Somebody else must have trained your sons.

I roll my eyes when certain influences want to argue or prop up certain training splits as being the most optimal. My viewpoint is its not that simple. How " optimal " a split is will be mainly based on the indvidual lifter. Factors such as physical age, actual training age/experience level and strength not to mention their exercise selection and work volume and intensity level. Plus how that split can be incorporated into one’s life . Sometimes it just come down to a person’s goals and personal preference .

Well … i forgot to mention that im seeing a improvement in my actual physical conditioning. Im bouncing back between sets faster and daily recovery is improving.
Think ill get off my lazy ass and bite the bullet. Next week ill start throwing in some time on the Airdyne on my off days to raise my GPP more .

Was on Facebook…a guy was making a comment on a post regarding proper rep range for strength and hypertrophy.
To make his statement carry more weight he used " as a Natural Bodybuilder" so out of curiosity i looked at his home page since he was emphasizing his status…I almost peed myself. Take my comment as you like.
