Yeah, I can understand that. My gym is pretty aggressive about it - they got a TON of equipment last year and already this year they’ve gotten 4 new rogue power bars, 2 competition rogue bench racks, a ton of new bumper plates, and all sorts of cambered, football, etc. bars and attachments.
But yeah - until you have an SSB that’s cambered, which pitches you forward in the hole and recruits a ton more mid back (and more quads, IMO), what you have will still be plenty effective. Nobody’s ever failed to get big because they didn’t have an SSB, haha.
Anatomy and physiology. I’m assuming the same course varies in difficulty and specificity based on who’s teaching it, and I believe I’ve probably got a particularly demanding professor, haha. Fortunately she’s good at her job and attentive, but it makes for long test preps.
My A&P class was the first and only class that forced me to study. Until that class, I got As and Bs by attending and listening. That class forced me to review the info every day so it soaked in slowly.
Aced my test. 97, and that’s before the extra credit, so I could be a 104. Top grade in the class, and the class average again was just above failing, with the lowest score being a 26 I feel sorry for whoever that was but the teacher did give adequate warning - the test covered all components of cells, all four tissues, and the integument, so there was a LOT of memorization required. Acronyms all day, erry day.
SVR II runs 3 week cycles - first week is PR topset with a 20 rep widow maker @ FSL, second week is 5’s pro and BBB @ FSL, 3rd week is 5’s pro and 5x5 @ SSL.
My weights are still light - I knock out my main work very quickly with the only tough things being my PR sets, and the deadlift widowmakers will never be fun. My accessory work, although I barely log it, is how I compensate for the slightly lower intensity, and most everything hits failure by my last set. Jim might not like how hard I hit my accessory stuff, but I make it up to him by eating like my life depends on it.
Post workout meal: protein shake with banana and Pb fit, giant slice of pepperoni pizza, giant chicken Italiano sub with grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, peppers, onions, balsamic.
Military training paying off HUGE here I imagine, haha. You are once again crushing it in all avenues dude. This log is such a good example of getting it done.
Very much appreciate the solidarity, brother. And that’s hilarious, I straight up paid no attention to how much the military had an influence on me in this case, but starting in boot camp and all the way through like 30% of the words used were acronyms, as you obviously know.
I can’t believe I didn’t realize that that’s where my fondness for them came from, but that’s the nature of government-sponsored brainwashing, I suppose.
They wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work, haha. And no joke man: if things ever go OK Corral style and I gotta pick 2 t-nation dudes to come with me, you and @alpha are my picks.
Actually, I gotta have @strongmanvinny2 here with me too. And at that point, no jail could hold us once it’s all said and done. We’d be like the Avengers, if they all took bath salts.
If the apocalypse comes about and we make good on this, hopefully @ChickenLittle lets us rendezvous at her place because Texas and because she has the agricultural skills to keep us alive. Also, she’d totally be Furiosa in endtimes.
In all seriousness I do keep a go-bag and a glock with a bunch of hollow points within reach, but moving down South and making the right friends has given me access to people who basically have compounds stocked with dozens of weapons and tens of thousands of rounds.
Our assailants clearing their firearms at the sight of us performing death medleys toward them in unison.
It’ll be like something out of troy, except it would take us a really long time to get to them and someone would have to be holding a sound system with industrial metal playing to keep us going.
Well, if we’re driving a salvaged vehicle along a highway full of abandoned cars, which apparently happens a lot in the apocalypse, I’m keeping overwatch while the meatheads move cars in our way.
I feel sorry for whoever that was but the teacher did give adequate warning - the test covered all components of cells, all four tissues, and the integument, so there was a LOT of memorization required. Acronyms all day, erry day.
