For me Brooks is a mix bag based on his earlier books one being Dinosaur Training. I probably say I agree with 70% +/- 5% of what he wrote depending on my mood. While the stuff I disagree with just bugs the hell out of me.

I skip those parts.
Good or bad , I haven’t found anyone that fully hits home.
The good is it makes me think of how I WANT TO TRAIN.
The bad is the same, as I lie here with an ice bag on my hip, hoping it doesn’t cramp at dinner tonight.

Definitely not ready for high handle trap bar, yet. Start with rack pulls at bottom of knees. 1x10 with the bar.
Wow now that is a blast from the past. I haven’t heard anyone talk about this book for long time.

Funny story… sort of, I bought some 10lb bumper plates to use with my trap bar. The plates are the size of metal 45lb plates. I put them on the bar stacked some 45s on the floor and was going to start with some elevated trap bar lifts as my hip was feeling good. I thought I would add weight slowly, the 10s would make the bar starting position even higher. I was adding plates slowly, felt fine. Then I was let’s add some real weight, and put a couple of 35s on each end. The bumper plates just bent over and everything fell off the stacked 45s. What a mess. I think the trap bar knows I don’t like it.
Rack pulls and high box squats ( front or Zercher) next week . Going to stay with loaded 45 degree back extension and leg press as the main work and slowly bring squats and DLs back.

Just bought the dinosaurs strength training notebook volume 1 after seeing you guys discussing it. Seems mostly no nonsense common sense advice from what I’ve read so far.
Yer basically, everything works as long as you work really fkn hard.

You need to show her some love. It knows you left it over there in the corner for that SSB. She is jealous.
Your exactly right. She needs some loving and attention.
Maybe dinner and a movie.
The SSB has a nice place to rest when not being “ used”.
The trap bar just hangs out leaning against the wall or lying on the floor.
If you’re a little older grey hair black iron is good.
I laughed harder than I should have at this!

Plan for now till the end , as hip hopefully continues to improve.
Leg day ( formerly squat day)
Chest day ( formerly know as Bench day)
Back day ( was DL day)
Shoulder day ( was press day)
Arm day ( might as well have fun)
Should be fun to mix things up for a few weeks, no specific goals except have fun and let hip continue to improve

Medical question here. I went to a foot doctor yesterday for the first time ever. He looked at an x ray of my foot taken preparatory to his examination and said “you have a broken ankle”, not “you had a broken ankle”. I laughed and said he was kidding. He said he didn’t kid. I have no present nor past problems with either ankle and I went because of a pain in my heel. I think the wrong x ray was sent to that exam room. Thoughts?
Lots of possibilities.
Usually xrays of the foot are not an ankle series xrays.
In the absence of some uncommon conditions ,there is probably a medical error somewhere. The possibility of an X-ray mix up would be the most likely.
I would suggest just getting another opinion.
In the meantime, I would start some Achilles or calf stretching for heel pain.
All the usual disclaimer about giving medical advice.
