Trying to leave delts alone… Gotta work out new workouts that will leave them alone.
Bike Ride - 3.3 miles with Daughter.

oooh, just read
“â?¢ Strength. The leg press can add quad strength off the floor in the deadlift. The leg press is biomechanically similar to a bottom-range deadlift (at least for the knee joint), and can provide end-range quadriceps strength in a more knee-extended position.”
in “Leg Press vs. Squat: the Final Chapter”

Cool, that’s my sticking point…

Front squats will do that too.

But Front squats are HAAAARD…

I figure I need to do them because they are so very hard.

Doctor says Pec strain. Muscle relaxer at night and no weights for 6 to 8 weeks. Gonna have to study and find out what I can do, and what are options…

Ok, 3 weeks into rest pec period.

Got tossed from Planet Fitness. Manager was at door,. said he needed to talk to me. Dead lifts not allowed, and 3 plates per side limit for everything. He got tossed himself benching at another store…

They generously let me pay for another month. Guess I’ll keep breaking the rules, until they call the cops.

Squats
5x240 (oops loaded extra plate on left side)
5x420
3x420

DL
5x315
500 PR!!!

HIT THE 500 MARK!

WOOHOO! congratz! on the the BIG 500 PR!

13.34 miles this Sunday in Chapel Hill… Gorgeous day. Remembered to stay a couple gears higher then I feel like I should… Much better, but then the Singulair and abuterol is really helping too…

yesterday squats and max dead…

Today legs hurt, erectors hurt… figure it will loosen up on ride… NO DICE, hurt the whole time…
27.5 miles, 13.4 mph relatively flat beautiful day…

996 on the clock, will break 1000 miles on this bike tomorrow!

When / if they finally kick you out, where are you going to train?

Great pull BTW.

I’m gone, when the month runs out…

There’s a Golds and LifeStyle… Money is a serious issue. Gonna try a trial week or some such to see what they’re like.

Would love to find a real squat rack and something like the Nautilus Pullover machine.

Sure gonna miss Pizza Night and the free candy, yeah right…

Big 500! Great going. I’d consider being kicked out of somewhere won’t let you put more than 3 plates a side on a lift a badge of honor.

This is the biggest bunch of ridiculousness I’ve ever heard. Total BS. I got a talking-to once about banging the plates during DL. (Can you imagine someone talking to little ole me about something like that?) I just pasted a blank stare on my face. I’ve never stopped banging, but they’ve left me alone since that one time.

north of 500! something I can only dream about right now.

Great job!

Thanks Soldog!
Relative to body weight, you guys got it all over me!

This is my best lift. I can’t do anything upper body for a couple more weeks

Lifting is how I deal with stress, so I gotta lift, especially now.

Haven’t been able to keep up with the logs. I miss it, but life imposes…

I think this is true for many of us.

Great job on the 505!

505 — An Honest Miss! At least I was able to unrack it, and lower it controlled and set it on safeties quietly… Quads are swelling
had to use hands on knees, like people do in leg press to get it off the pins w/375 on it…
2x5x285

SIT-N-SPIN
3X5X165

Beginning to think rules are enforced along color lines…
2nd time there when manager is there that others are there and they’re not hassled for deads. Heck one guy was doing cleans/deads supersets!
