Git,
A 20 lb PR is nothing to sneeze at, congrats.[/quote]
Thanks. From a form standpoint it was one of the best DLs I have done. Just felt like the right stuff was firing. I was tempted to add more weight but Iām trying to be patient and not fail at lifts. Mentally, for me, that takes a session from awesome to shit in a hurry.
Way to start back with a 20 lb PR. Nice.
Did you ever get your gym insulated?
ā¦oh BTW, your post at 12:51am didnāt load properly. I canāt see the scantily clad lady.

Hey! Iām slowly figuring out who is hanging around here. Nice to see you.
The shed is insulated and quite comfy (heat in winter, A/C in summer)
How about an athlete pic??

Hey Matty! My delts, upper mid-back and upper chest are all sore so it seems the session did itās job. I might give the Klokovs a go to see whatās what.
Iād like to get to a 2.5BW or better DL in the near future. Iām going to be patient and not do any 1RM testing until end of January.
Nice PR! WOOT WOOT!
Just browsing your work here and I was wondering do you still do mobility moves for your hips or the agile 8? I do a lot of foam rolling and lacrosse ball rolling which seems to help with DOMS and improved performance. Kudos on your recent PR and return.

Thanks! WOOT WOOTs from hot ladies is always motivating.
Back on the program. Itās % based with volume targets.
Squat - 85% x 4 x 3
bar 2 x 3
135 x 3
185 x 1
225 x 1
275 x 1
315 x 1
ā¦
345 x 4 x 3
Iāve done a bit of experimenting with head position lately. For me, the āhead upā approach looking straight ahead, or especially looking up, is horrible. Shifts the emphasis to the quads and takes my hips out of the lift. A more head down position looking 6-7ā in front is a lot stronger.At least a 5% difference.
Anderson squats - set pins around my stall point. Each rep from dead stop.
345 x 3
355 x 3
365 x 3
375 x 3
385 x 2ā¦thought I had the last one.
Based on doing Andersons in a couple sessions, I recommend doing them for doubles or ideally a bunch of singles. Itās too easy to get out of position with reps, which can be dangerous, and getting perfectly aligned again is a pain in the ass.
RDLs
225 x 5
275 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 0ā¦felt a glute twinge on the way down and called it. Feels fine now. Probably could have stretched it out but I had to go pick up a cheese tray for a kids party anyway. Iāll likely do some more ham stuff tomorrow.
Bench
some warm-ups
then
215 x 4 x 3ā¦last set was the best
Wide grip (for me) benchā¦ring fingers on rings
185 x 5, x5, x5 ,x4 (out of gas)
ā¦could feel pecs working harder
Incline DB
50s x 2 x 15
DB rowsā¦forehead supported on bench
50s x 2 x 15
ā¦these were surprisingly excellent
Monster mini pullaparts
2 x 20

Interesting. Whatās good for the gander is not necessarily good for the goose.
Good to see you around these parts.
Hi Snap!
Not everything works for everybody, thatās for sure. For me, the neck packed and aligned with spine definitely works better.
Low bar. Wide stance. Awesome.
Some gold nuggets in this one.
- Hips too far away from bar = stalling at knees. Recently had a minor epiphany on this one myself.
- Progressive overload is boring and can make you cry. Hilar and true.
- Itās easy to use bands and chains to mask a weakness. Been guilty of that.
Hey Git, glad to see you logging over here again. I lurk this forum more than any other
