Thanks Dave. Sometimes I have some discomfort or tightness in the hips and hammies but the swings loosen me up and once the bar has over 300 lbs on it I forget about the pain and dig in for weight. Afterwards the hurt sets in but mobility work usually works out the difference.
Tonight went well:

I was in the depths of a pause zone trench for the 505 squat but the power and drive felt good. I have to say my entire body is really feeling a change from the heavy daily pause squats and benching. I feel more solid and sturdy and definition in my muscle tone is improving as well as vascularity amongst other things. Me like. The bench felt heavy but I locked it out, OH Yeah!
Thanks Crippler. I was paying for my insolence in lifting so much in under an hour this morning with lead filled concrete weighing down my body as I awakened too early(only got about 7 hours of sleep) in my opinion. But, after a couple hours of MARC PRO I feel a lot better and having my Dolphins win helped too. Watching football while doing therapy is great!
Completely wasted from work today. I’m not able to lift tonight most likely due to extreme DOMS due to Saturday’s lifting and today’s extremely labor intensive tree cutting and trimming. Tomorrow’s another day and this is light and easy week any way.
Sometimes it’s not to hard to listen to your body. Good idea not to push it with heavy DOMS and falling trees.
Eat, sleep and you’ll be happy in gym later.
Nice work GV
Yeah Joe, just getting used to lifting in the 500’s on a regular basis, maybe in a year it’ll be the 600’s.
Tonight lifting was fast and easy although my body is wrecked from another very hard day at work and tomorrow is looking harsh as well. It’s been in the 80s here temperature wise, which has made for unusually hot working conditions for this time of year. I want some cold.
T-Handle Swings:

135 x 10

Feeling really run-down tonight. My 3 year old brought home a virus last Friday and I have been fighting it until today. Today the bug finally is trying to infect me but I’m attacking it with everything I have(mostly garlic, zinc, vitamin C). Hope to get back to training soon.
It’s a seesaw batte(no pun intended) with this virus. Sometimes I think I’m winning a feel great and then at other times it feels like a steamroller has flattened me. Getting sick makes me mad and I hate to see my child in agony. Now my wife is feeling the virus. Will this never end? The challenge is not getting the baby sick.
Still feeling a sore throat and achy muscles related to virus but I made myself lift tonight. My thinking has been less than clear and I thought my strength was up to par but I found out the bug has caused me to be a bit weak.

Just doing this little bit had me dizzy and my back was aching terribly but I got some in. I haven’t had the energy to visit any other threads right now and I’m training for a virtual job from home to do in my spare time. My girls are all being hit by the virus. Damn it I can’t wait for this bug to go.
