Yeah, I believe so. Is this an excuse to go pound some pizza I see? ![]()
Well, I’m not telling you to do it but I ain’t denying it either ![]()
That was pure willpower … Great job Man.
Thanks man, I was fighting hard as hell to keep my positioning. I felt like I could’ve slapped on more weight, but the technique would probably have not been beneficial at all.

Was up all night working on a project, took a nap after classes so I’d be somewhat awake for my session… yeah.

back squats
315X12 stopped here, my hips/back felt jammed up when walking out the second set. Aside from that, very easy.
Quick and smooth session aside from my back/posterior hip acting up. Since squats were kind of botched this session I’ll just add an extra session of squats to the training week (with literally the same work planned) since I didn’t actually put my legs through any real work. Front squatting Sunday, back squatting Tuesday, taking Wednesday and Thursday off to prepare for two important exams on Friday.

Wait what? I think I had a typo, there’s surely no way I did 280+ per hand. Maybe 4 plates per handle? I’ll find out tomorrow morning, going to go for 230+ per handle.
Well you wrote it, so it’s true ![]()
I wish it was that easy haha

Ghrs and band walk
10x5, strongestx80 yards for 3 sets
Rolled out quads and hips and calves, will stretch more tonight. Tight calves apparently bother my left knee (only gastroc, might be that it crosses the knee and jams things up when sore), not sure why.
Totally unrelated to lifting (or maybe tangentially related because of crossfit games girls and stuff), but:
Literally the fucking creepiest man alive
Push press

Push press

Fat grip ring pull ups superset with step ups
Bwx8, bwx20 per side for 3 sets
Band pull aparts and band abductions 3 sets each
Knee is still angry. I rolled out my quad a lot and stretched my calves and tried to get a hammie pump (though hamstring work seemed to hurt at the end of range of motion) which all helped. Band abductions also helped.
On the plus side my hip feels pretty good and so does my back. Might just need to rest my knee and ignore it exists other than stretching/rolling my quad and calf.
I haven’t been resting my knee in my daily life and have been trying to move it through a full range of motion during normal stuff, I think this is the reason why it hasn’t healed as quickly as it should have.

Just discovered what’s been killing my left knee finally, or at least been contributing to a lot of it. This strip of calf muscle (not sure what it’s called, not part of the gastroc or soleus) on the outside of the calf is insanely tight and after massaging it I regained most of my mobility back in my knee.
Like going from barely being able to bend it to walk or get dressed to being able to do a squat and sit crossed legged. The shit. I missed out on like a whole week of productive training and lived in misery thinking I might need knee surgery because of a tight calf. @strongmanvinny2 calves are just shit man.
