I’m good thanks, life is life but we all just gotta get on with things :slightly_smiling_face: .

Enjoying catching up on peoples logs and hoping to be online a bit more.

How strict are your rows? I’ve usually avoided standing BB Rows because I was ended up cheating as the weeks went on. Using them now as an easy progression in correct scapular movement without the ego and compensations I have in some of my other lifts. I feel a bit more control already and my body is definitely responding - exposed a weak link and had to start at just 55kg for a set of 10. Up to 60kg 3x12 in just 2-3 weeks.

Easy Conditioning - 4 mile run, steady state. Weight this morning at 224.4lbs so little over 6lbs down in 2 weeks. Probably want to go to around the 215lb mark in the next few weeks before I start gaining again.

I don’t use any body English and always try to feel the and retract my shoulder blades especially with higher reps. It’s nice being able to do them with no pain after I aggravated an old bicep tear a while back.

I hasten to add I was resting 45 secs - 1 min between each round so overall including the swings and quick warmup it was about 12 mins of work. Just was a little out of breath although I did wake up this morning with some soreness and fatigue which I think carried over to today as the barbell work wasn’t easy.

Was wondering why my core strength is poor on Thursday’s and then remembered I’m effectively giving my core a workout with the beltless squats. Been doing all my FSL sets beltless recently, my mobility seems to actually be getting better doing this. Been really pleased with my squat depth. Bench is continuing to progress, weights yet to be a challenge tbh.
