That’s always my issue too. I have a tough time doing enough to improve without needing a lot of cortisone. I think it’s because I let my weight get too high, but you’re a giant so there’s just not much you can do

@kleinhound he didn’t even do a jerk. Those were presses. And @alex_uk, those were muscle snatches.
Takeaways - I need to get stronger and I need to do an RDL instead of a regular clean.
My breakdown was 5, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 and I was on elbows and knees between “sets”.

I think they still count. And it was extra difficult because you just did Isabel which is arguqbly worse

It may have not been the best idea, but I was smart enough to do the harder one first.

I was supposed to do 190 for five singles, but the program gives the option of setting a new PR this week if you feel good. Well, 190 felt too light so I just kept adding weight. I’d like to hit 275 someday, but it appears I have a ways to go. I’m glad I hit 245 since @Cyrrex only did 242 lbs.

Took my sweet time on this one. It was nice not doing super sets at the start. The reason for that is that the incline was taken and I was talking to the Detective using it. Things were moving slow. I’m the only one on my team working today so no one cares where I am. I enjoyed the long, slow workout. It took over an hour for this one.
I feel like I was run over by a truck today. My shoulders, traps, and biceps (at the elbow) hurt from yesterday’s shenanigans. I’ll take it easy tomorrow. No lifting, maybe some cardio. If I do cardio it’ll be sprints or the elliptical. Those don’t hurt my knees.

Right, but I lifted kilograms, so I think that gives a bonus?

No. You lifted 110 kgs. If it helps you understand, I’ll convert… 245 = 111.36 kgs. 
Sure, sure, that is a compelling argument. Using math against me and all that.
Did I fail to mention that I am very close to sea level here? Pretty sure that makes the gravity more powerful. My lift may have felt more like 246 pounds, hard to say for sure.

Counterbalanced by the increased humidity, you are literally pushing several pounds of extra water in the air.

Really, the numbers are just getting too complicated at this point, it will just be easier if everyone admits that we lifted exactly the same weight.

Have you never heard of this wondrous little device called a ‘calculator’?

It is a little known fact about me that I can easily calculate that kind of stuff in my head. I always know exactly what I am lifting in both kilo and pounds. I can also at a glance look at what someone has on the bar and within a second or two figure out exactly what they have loaded.
So yeah, I know just exactly how much shit I am full of.

I can almost empathize, but for the fact I’ve never worked out in a kilogram gym. It’s indicative of tooooooo much time in a gym.

The kilo to pound conversion is easy for me. Going the other way takes a bit more effort.
