I wish I had the shoulder flexibility to do these properly, might give them a try tomorrow. Good stuff though.
Tuesday afternoon:
OHP - Just barely missed 175 twice. a few doubles at 150, was too much so more doubles at 140. Didn’t get in much volume since my elbows started aching again so I stopped. Not enough hammer curls, and my lat flare wasn’t up to par in the OHP bottom position.
All my own fault for not pressing in a whole week.
Much more later

Go for it, th more people BTNPP-ing the better!
Hitting my pec minor with a lacrosse ball really helped me. Go ahead and widen your grip too
Tuesday night:
close grip bench - 5’s and triples up to 200 for 2 sets of 2. Very fast. (First set I got completely out of the groove, second set the third rep was past the sticking point when my bench shifted off its supports and threw the bar to the side.)
I meant to do more sets but my bench rack finally self-destructed.
Circuit 3x - rear delt flies (with scap retraction), DB french press, hammer curls, front raises
Absurd pump
these last few days have been very low volume. Gotta step it up again
Wednesday late afternoon:
Squat - 325 for 3 doubles and then a triple. 325 for just 1 would have been a PR hahah.
Fuck yes.
Didn’t have time for more but I’ll be back.
wednesday night:
front squat - some sets, best were 245 x 1, 225 x 2, no PR’s. I’m no longer letting my upper back round and shifting the focus to my shoulders angling the bar up. Makes it much harder and hits the weakness that I’m trying to solve better.
Good monring-ish things where I rounded my t-spine. Just an idea, I don’t think it worked very well though.
Yates row (strict, no point to them if you get sloppy) - lots of sets up to 215 for 6ish. Then a drop set. Got a nice lat pump, but these hit my lower back pretty hard too lol
llast two days not worth logging - I really hope it’s just this motherfucking heat. doin my best to get some work in
Must be pretty hot there?

It got up to 100 both days, AND didn’t really cool down at night. That’s the killer
It’s still hot as hell and I have a rare free day today. So I’m drivin down to Iron Sport!
turned out my friend needed a hand, so Iron Sport didn’t happen unfortuantely.
Also, I don’t mean to be a drama queen, but I’m not gonna post here much anymore.
Just got on the Klokov press train today. Brutal, I luuuuved it.
I hit 125 for 1, and 95 for 6.
Which makes my Klokov press .76 of my OHP.

Stop being much a girly-man.
And what grip do you use for front squats?

Clean grip, I’ve always been very flexible so it was no problem from the start.
front squat tip: kinda pull your neck back, almost like youre making a double chin and get the bar as close to your throat as you can. This keeps the bar closer to your center of gravity and makes everything much more solid. It is uncomfortable at first though.
Also try to push your elbows up and together at all times during the movement.
Let’s see some big weights, birdman!
Killer progress in here dude. Also, hoodrat ingenuity for the win.
haha, thanks! gotta do what you gotta do!
Kinda wanted to check into my OG crib.
Smear dis shit all up on yo eyeballs, ballas
Also, just in case anyone reads this log 5 years from now and would be doomed to wonder forever about this, I’ll also say one more thing. It is completely possible to overtuck your elbows on the bench press (and I was doing it on overhead press too actually). This will wreak havoc on your strength and your joints, so don’t do it. Elbows stay directly under the bar as much as possible.
My chronic elbow issues are gone and my bench doesn’t suck (relatively) anymore. Good day.
PS: I was overextending my lumbar and SI joints on squats and deadlifts too. Don’t do that either.
