It happens sometimes for me. I know what it feels like and to what degree. The set in question felt pretty locked in though
This one was hook grip so positioning bit different but in the intensity was up there
I eat tasty things still. Just not enough protein. Kinda a bother to do the cooking and eating
Tired today so just payed around with new deadlift variation: double pause deads. Single pause is good but a bit stale so throwing in another pause on the eccentric just before the floor where me weak point is doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
Did some Romanian deads after but they pump up my lower back more than anything and not in a good way. It’s tough time/energy wise to do assistance work after the main lifts I find myself skipping it often enough.
Minimalist training hasn’t been too bad last few months though so maybe just keep it to one assistance movement per session for volume after the main lift.
Tough squat/bench workout. Hard work but good work.
Tempo squats are gonna be appearing more often this cycle. They are definitely hard work: 4x3 at 155-170kg.
Last set in wraps to play around with using long nose pliers that I recently got from the hardware store to wrap my knees easier. I feel pretty handy with all these tools I got now lol.
+10 gains for the song choice.
Squats are looking pretty solid man
Ye slow and steady no worries. Just realised me laptop actually does blue-tooth so now i can film on me phone while playing music which is nice. Playlist is a bit stale though. Every now and then i add a song but is rare.
New slippies arrived which is nice. Had to send it a bit to break em in.
Top set 260kg x 3 @ RPE a little slow. Probably could’ve hit this cleaner that day I repped 250 but meh I’ll take it. Without actually going for a max I think I’m just about at the short term goal. Not used to weights moving slow so needa practice that sooner or later
Hit the first rep with hook grip and hands held up well. Accessory work highlight was stiff leg deadlift PB 170kg x reps. Gonna be smashed tomorrow no doubt
Solid lifting! That a rep PR?
Ye. Haven’t hit more than 260 without bumpers for a single or reps
hook grip sumo master race… those looked pretty good… i think im bout to widen out my stance now that hips are becoming more mobile.
you do any exercises specific to adductor mobility?
Little bit before u lift or after first warm up. Not too intense. Get urself some notorious lifts too. Shins vertical stance grip doesn’t matter but you’ll need if going wider
looks like theyre all sold out hahah… nice
Ye I got in early. Like 30 seconds early. Sold out in 3 mins. Next drop for u I guess. Bearfoot Ursus are good apparently but they don’t have me size
Didn’t pull up too bad today considering I went big last night and followed up with stiff leg deads. Was crushed for days, especially through the lower back, last time I went big on deads without the stiff legs so funny how that works.
I’m surprised your lower back gets much involvement at all given how upright you are
They are working to stabilise regardless of how upright we is as long as the load is out front squat of us. Also me stiff legs are pretty much start from like 5-10 degrees to parallel torso angle.
Yes of course you have to stabilize with it but I’m going to bet my deadlifts are a very difference experience for my back than your deadlifts are for your’s.
Probably. Isa different for everyone but we are quite far apart on that spectrum. I’m on the cool end
You’re on the filigree end.
Dunno what that means but I’ll take it as a compliment
I’ve never seen that word either but google translator assures me it’s what I’d want to say in German.
