Engine Overhaul

Just catching up. Bench definitely is improving. Keep working on it. The bench isn’t ideal for you having to put your ass in between the pads.

Are you planning on fixing your power rack? I have an extra flat bench designed to be placed in a rack I can ship to you if you get a rack to bench out of.

You can email me future bench videos at my username at rrohio dot com. Hopefully you will see this before it gets taken down.

You are making good progress. Stick with it.

Thank God you’re alive! I thought I was going to have to read all the obituaries in Ohio.

Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate your help, and thank you for your offer of the bench. I will see about getting a flat bench. Maybe Santa will come thru. :wink:

I will definitely keep working on it. I still have high hopes of hitting 125. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That’s kind of funny you mentioned the toe thing. I’ve been doing rehabby stuff (BW squats, lunges, etc) and when I take my toes out of action (by lifting them up), my glute doesn’t hurt as much. I’m a bit wobbly though, but I can also engage my glute better too.

Hmmm… interesting. I have done that with step ups, but have never tried it with lunges. Maybe I should. At one time I got to where I could do them pretty good, but dropped them, because I’m a dumb ass.

Some very solid work going on in here!

Thank you Master OG! Last Sunday I finally got time to get the new plastic up and a bunch of things straightened up. Still have a ways to go, but definitely a better than it was.

I know I have to rake again today, so I am calling it there. Can’t remember if ice or heat fixed it last time. There was probably a reason I took that song off the playlist. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
