Solid pulls. What’s ur best pulls right now / all time.
Have u considered joining the hook grip master race.
My best raw conventional gym pull is 650 lbs. No straps, no belt, just shorts, T-shirt and shoes. Contest, a Dodge Dakota extended cab pickup (Going by feel) or 11 reps with 800+ (We didn’t get a solid number, it was a full size Ford 4-door with a trunk full of silver dollars). I stoppped pulling max in training a very long time ago, but I can still pull over 500 for sets of 5. I am a natural deadlifter, and a fair squatter, and lousy at overhead. Best push press was 305 on an axle.

DB Shoulder Press (Always standing if anyone id reading, I wouldn’t do seated unless my leg was broken)
70 x 11 x 3 sets
Left shoulder is not right. Wasn’t ;ast time I did these either. It gets better as I go, but still wasn’t really right by the finish. I don’t know what, just not right. It feels like Licis looked with the Circus DB in that training session with Halfthor that was Youtubed. Just isn’t setting up right or executing right. The right side had several more reps per set and felt like butter.

Jacked up. Got weird with the left arm. The form actually almost felt right on the left on the last 7, but it got weird and had to stop. I don’t know if it’s that my shoulders need more rest or what.
I haven’t logged the last few days, but in addition to the bike I have done some high rep light stuff for delts and biceps.

With all the cycling I imagine u feel as healthy as a vegan yoga crossfitter
I have to say, I still hate cardio. The first 4 minutes suck out loud, the next 4 minutes are a little less awful, but once you hit around 14 minutes you stop feeling it, literally if I don’t stand up once in a while to allow some blood flow.

DL - Conventional - tried the Pendlay ar this time
295 x 7?
365 x 9 x 5 sets
Lower back was complainng before I started, apparently I got a pump from the reps and had to sit after the last set for a few minutes and let it deflate a little so I could walk comfortably. I have too many tests next week, I think they’re trying to steal my biologic secrets.

Front Squats
135 x 5
225 x 5 x 4 sets
No rack, so I’m cleaning the weight to start each set. The names my wrists were calling me were starting to penetrate my thick exterior and hurt my feelings, so I let the bar go after the clean and just let it sit on my anterior delt for the sets. I got sweaty so it slid around a little and tore up the skin, but my wrists are happy so I’m going to call it a win.
Uhmmm… you can use straps on those front squats, we won’t tell anybody. It will be our secret. 
Don’t have any with me, they’re in Nicaragua and I’m in SC right now. It’s purely a flexibility issue, my wrists don’t like to bend that far anymore. For the bar to be on my delts is just an unpleasant stretch in my old age, my arms get in the way/

As Klokov says put more weight on the bar and it’ll bend ur wrists until they flexible enough lol

Monday 7/6
I am sure there is probably a name for what I did, but I don’t know what it is. I operate on the principle that I do what I think will do something I need done, as opposed to seeing exercises and giving them a go. For example, 20 years ago we were using an exercise to help newbies learn to squat but had no name for it, I recently discoverd that people are referring to it as a “Goblet Squat”. I don’t know when it got that name or where, but there it is. So if there’s a name for what I did, someone can enlighten me.
I layed on the floor on my back, arm perpendicular to my torso, forearm perpendicular to the floor. Lowered the hand by rotating my upper arm, first set toward the feet. Second set without a pause between the two, towards the head. The range is from the floor to 90 degrees. Then I switch arms.
20 x 10 x 3 sets
Definite issue with the left side, it hurt to get the DB to the floor. I don’t know that I could have made the full range with anything lighter, I was forcing it down the last bit with the 20.
