Just the thought of flaring in the bench makes my shoulders scream.
Getting old is great, ain’t it?

yeah, and I benched flared for 20 years before it finally caught up with me.
I know BBers bench flared. But what’s the benefit? I did it for awhile, but I attribute it to bad form. My coach now yells at me the minute I flare.
Interesting to read the litany of your injuries. I suspect many of us have a list like that. Workaround is the best modus for me anymore.

No question on this…both of these.
Heal up brother.
I like the “nap in the hammock” workout the best…tis the season for that.
nap in the hammock was the bomb, going to try to keep that in my regiment for the next few months

How old is your youngest now? It seems like he was just born. I hope the shoulders/back/knee/pelvis/plantar faciitis (holy shit) all heal up real soon.

god, you make it sound like I am so beat up…
Logan will be two in June. he is a maniac. call him the heart attack kid. a few months back, while under my supervision, he managed to figure out how to open the dishwasher and retrieved two steak knives, one in each hand. twenty minutes later he climbed on top of the stove, and was sticking his fingers in the toaster.
he also worship’s his big brother to the point of impersonating him.
you say ‘what’s your name’
‘ewan’
‘how old are you’
‘five’
he does a great curious george impersonation as well

A couple of questions if I may:
- How heavy you go on this here machine?
- Dynamic or ME?
- Bands or chains?
- You do a linear periodization or conjugate on this?
- What is your PR?
LOL.
