I Got A Feeling

Everything looks delish. That turkey looks perfect!

thanks CL…

It was delicious

some training 11/26/16

mobility - tight glute- really tight on the fake leg side.
lots of work there

A TRX prone ham curl
5x10
B SL dead 135,225,275 x5 315 3x5 straps bleh
snatch grip - 225 2x6 135 2x10
C low pulley rows 5x10
D prone ham curl 5x10
E seated ham curl 5x10

2 500m rows

notes
I am lacking in some mobility - new for me.
and seriously lacking the ability to drive off my leg when pulling
so these became a stiff leg the bar was very stiff too- not my favorite
hams have been lacking- need to give them allot of volume

Id do more single leg work- but it seems to flare up my fake knee

have been meaning to catch up with all you people…
work work life work.

barometric change - can suck a dick.

training 11.30.16
short but decent session

pvc at home -much.
mobility activation banded work

A box squat - stupid high box. 135 x10 225 2x10 315x8
B Squat 135-275x5 315 5x5
C bb complex 70 lbs 3x8-10 of
BO row x RDL x clean and press x good morning x reverse lunge x squat

D1 face pulls
D hanging leg raise- off slings 4x10

notes
some of the activtion stuff Ido is working
band around knees to squat - RDL - walk - and glute bridge
its working.
squats - box - stupid high like over 15" seems to help get things moving
315 5x5 felt good save for the last 2 reps.
complex- made me cry.

bought a bunch of gear on a black friday sale

new wrist wraps , knee sleeves- duh.
some forearm/elbow cuffs and even a slingshot.

the wraps- sleeves are awesome.
anyone with any elbow-forearm tendonixxxxx should check out some of
Mark Bells products.

I even messed around with the sling shot.
Ill play with that more later.

training 12.3.16
mobility activation junk
lunges, bands - shoulder shit more shoulder shit
scap work - banded walks - banded squats, pullovers all manner of shit.

A box squat to stupid high box
135x10 225 x10 315x8
B squat 135-315x5 then EMOM 275 12/3
C ham curls 5x10
D standing calf 4x10
E bb ab whell 4x10

F barbell complex 4x8 @65lbs

row x RDL x clean and press x good morning x split lunge x squat

notes-
new sleeves- awesome - these are the slingshot brand- good felt very safe
wrist wraps bought the 26" super sturdy- even loose they cast your hands.
and the elbow cuff- go buy one - a set - right now.

squats -meh- out of gas for anything much
did an emom instead
complex - humbling.

Is it weird that I get excited reading about your new gear?

not at all!!
I can not gush about the elbow/forearm cuff enough.

training 12.6.16

mobility smashed on my glute to unstick it
did a SHIT TON of shoulder work -
including using a hex head dumbell to smash my pec while laying on a lacross ball.
an ungodly amount of dislocates, and banded shoulder shit.

A bench wut 95 4x10 135 8x5
B squat wut 225 8x5
C dimel 135 3x20
F medley of face pull x rope triceps x pull down abs
4 round of 15-20 did many many more face pulls though.
E light pulldowns 5x10

notes.
MARK BELL UPPER BODY CUFFS ARE THE SHIT!

compression cuffs- didnt use wrist wraps ( cuz the weights where small)
did use knee sleeves. I wear them on my forearm- below the elbow

after allot of shoulder and pec work - tried some bench.
while not comfortable - its not painful did dislocates and band shit between sets.
squats while light 8x5 didnt feel like allot til I got home.
dimels - so love these

some much needed face pulls thats it.

training 12.8.16

unending mobility
123,456,432 dislocates, banded pull aparts,
leg band shit blah blah blah

some TRX work mostly face pulls

A squat bar many 65, many 95-225 2x5 work 315x5 335x3 365x2 315 4x5
B1 flat bench 135 6x5
B2 CSR 2 plates 6x10
C1db clean and press 40 4x8
C2 CSR 2pts 4x10
C3 rear delt raise 4x many

notes
shoulders while stiff felt pretty good
chest supported row - much needed
bench experiment - lets see what a few weeks of tiny weights will do.
shoulders seem ok-
definitely have some stuff going on with my thoracic- everything is tight.

abusive PVC and LX ball have been helping allot
theory one- is that there is some serial impingement going on - neck shoulder elbow
and everything in between

Or the ā€˜new’ broken shit trumps the old broken shit.

its like buying a shit car- thats better then your really shit car.

or its like hitting lotto
I like the latter

looks like youe squats are going good.

they are moving- so that is good thank you

I am trying to scratch some numbers out of my head
then I think I can settle down with some smarter actual plans or proggraming.

training 12.10.`6

mobility and activation buckets of it.
band work - external rotation much

F seated ham curls 8x10
other tiny db and band junk

20 minutes arc trainer bleh

notes.
this was supposed to be a accessory - shit I should be doing and some conditioning.
ha
glute air humps- felt good
did a bunch of OH squats at 65lb to get loose- did not
get past that.
gear whored it up after 315 added a belt to knee sleeves & wrist wraps
doubles felt heavy but moved fast.

shoulder stuffs just to get a pump.

Mobility work by the ton for me too and that seems to be key in staying viable. Have to love the struggle.

yeah this getting old shit can suck.

But hard work can fix that.

Let’s hope so!

@ChickenLittle thanks!

@OldGoat I have to do allot

but I heard ā€˜if its important do it everyday’

while I used to love the cold it can be rough
in my new situation

I have been laid up with a Flu
and I have been working a bit on mobility stuffs
using some 'back arch" ( read back bend

Bro! Good to see you posting all over. I assume that means things are going well (well, besides the flu) and that you’re not over-working yourself.

mobility - lunges x lunges
lots of stuffs from trx through bands.

E1 tricep OH db extension 50 5x10
E2 lilly shrug 60 5x10
F1 plate raise 25 x 5x10
F2 face pulls 5x many

notes.
didnt squat- did something to my hip and glute
guess which one. the one attached to a pipe cleaner

I will humbly admit this crushed me.
looking back - I have done very very little direct tricep work
over the years ( like 3 sets a week if that )

push press - weak sauce no leg drive
or stability from legs for that matter
javelin press- why did I ever stop doing these ?
direct tricep stuff? why did I ever not do any?
