Nice. I am ready to get back in the shirt. Adding 3 board next week, 2 board the next week, 1 board, full ROM, shirted again.
Sound good, or do you have any suggestions/a different plan?
congrats on the new shirt. sorry i been away for awhile.
after the shit I went through with my hip lately, i fucking hate doctors. Ask your doctor if he minds that you will kill his ass real slow if he’s wrong.
other than that, peace and love and unicorns and shit
Hey MJ, peace, love, and unicorns jumping over rainbows. get it right.
30 minutes elliptical.
Did this while watching Rocky III with 4 year old. After seeing the training scenes with Clubber Lang in a dirty gym and Rocky in a Vegas spa, my 4 year old says of Clubber Lang “He obviously wants to win the most because he is training harder”.
I raise them smart.
as soon as he knows when, and how loud, to yell “belly”, he’ll be perfect. Congrats

that’s a fine plan…
knee achey and a little gimpy today, still better than last week
pulling:
raw, conventional 145 x 5, 235 x 5, 325 x 5, 415 x 2, 505 x 2, 595 x 2
block pulls (3 inch block) 505 x 2, 595 x 2, 645 x 2
every pull was slow and methodical, beings scared of something popping, but nothing did.
none were explosive, or committed
hack squat 4 x 10, very light
shrugs 4 x 15 w/405
leg curls 4 x 15
reverse hyper 4 x 10
4 way neck 4 x 15
calve raise 4 x 15
cable abs 4 x 15
felt like shit going in. every Sunday it seems I have beginning of work week insomnia, which sets me up for horrible Mondays, and horrible Monday training
Nice work -
glad the knee is holding up.
mondays suck here too.
Im never awake at work and it just drags ass on monday
Glad to hear the knee is getting better, nice pulling.
Didnt get to do 3 board, was rushed for time and low on spotters (lifted later than normal) but I worked up on decline to a solid 385x1 and a rough 425x1.

Neither had I till the last couple weeks, lets me hold a barbell with almost zero bad tension on my shoulder
Wondering how much benefit you guys think there is in declines. I used to do them. Haven’t for a few years now. Nor inclines, for that matter.
Thats good news about the knee acting better. A double at 595 would have been hard a bum one.

Some people - Metal Militia, namely - swear by them, saying it mimics the position you are in as an arched bencher. The only decline bench I have had access to in a long time is a crappy super steep one, that almost feels like benching upside down.
I think some incline work is important, to keep that pec/delt tie in healthy. I am liking dumbbell inclines with bands, and close grip inclines lately.

Making progress Joe. I would place it at 85% right now.
early a.m. 30 minutes elliptical
DE bench 185 + dbl minis 8 x 3
JM press 225/275/315/365 x 5, PR
Dumbbell Incline 3 x 10 w/110s + mini around back
pulldowns 8 x 10, various grips
laterals 5 x 15
ez curls 4 x 8-10
rope down/extension 4 x 15-20
face pulls 3 x 15
nice work-
It still amazes me that the barbell big numbers are insane, but
sometimes just thinking of how to set up for incline presses with 110 db’s
makes me think pretty hard about your training

I REALLY like declines! Shoulders hurt less. It seems to spare my wimpy fried delts.
Muscle activation studies showed 40 degrees were optimum.
More then that and steep decline in activation…
I would do declines but every time I try my shirt rolls up over my belly and everyone sees the Hannah Montana tattoo on my stomach, it’s sooo difficult to explain.
