Yellow is kinda cool. i think PB Andy’s gym is pretty yellow, too. I went to a powerlifting gym in NZ once when I was visiting and it was all red. Very nice.
Cav Its not weird Im kinda short.
Im used to most people being taller
My second sister and Mom are like 5.2
Peaches- I feel it in my hips flexors and I like how it opens them up.
Eric Cressey and Tony Gentilcore have a version - where you put one knee against a wall
and lunge into it…
the samson or worlds greatest stretch is supposed to feel like that
Lexi- I like Yellow as a color, I am not sure what any of these machines do
more I am confused by the ratio of chest machines to the rest of the gym
This weekend was busy- weekend house stuffs
little bit of bee keeping
lots of laundry
Lots of cooking for the week
baby food , dog food, people foods- the dog is 15 so we make her some geriactric foods
went to the local county fair-
little man got to pet
beef cows
dairy cows, sheep, goats, ponies, pigs, baby deer and a tiny baby pig.
good times
sunday I squeezed in a BW circuite
4x of
incline pushups 30
bw squat 30
v-sit ups 20
will try to train tonight
dude, don’t you know all you need to get the legz is the leg extension and partial leg presses? to get swolly in the pecz you need to hit them from all 72 angles…
Not for nothing but those little piggies are fucking adorable, I heard they make good pets, I kinda wish I didnt like to eat them so much
Ah, yes I can already see how that will be a mother of a stretch. Not at all what I was doing. Thanks!
Pete I did not count the shoulder press variants nor arm machines
I swear there might not be anything for calves
Peaches- yes its a good stretch
mattyxl dude the 1lb pig is awesomely cute.
training- bw 184 in gym clothes this is a trend
and I went to a county fair this weekend.
10pm gym is still loud and packed.

Notes.
hot sweaty and sticky
I pulled all this Hook grip
and in O-lifting shoes-
OOOOH I used the bumper plates on an Ivanko bar
[b] Hell fucking Yes [/ b]
Bumpers somehow feel lighter or move thru the air better
and I used them to pull- cause I am not using the hex plates to pull.
425 dbl felt great- 455 not so much.
Cleans after pulling light as a feather.
Rows after pulling heavy as a triplewhopper on a hot day.
what else- it all needs work.
there are alot of big dudes at this gym-
and I dont think anyone of them has ever deadlifted
that means I need to get on that hammerstrenf shit.
425x2 hook grip. Impressive!
yay, bumpers are awesome 
apparently if you load 'em up for deadlifts it makes deadlifting a little bit easier. you kind of lift them off the ground 2 at a time instead of the bar not budging until ALL the tiny little plates decide to move. or so i’ve heard.
Strong pulling. Haven’t really used bumpers before but they sound very cool.
Thanks people
Hams are stiff today, need some volume later this week to break it up.
The 425 dbl hook left me for dead, but I think I can pull on hook grip,
lexie is that how it works hmmm
Actually they are a little taller then conventional plates so it night be a shorter pull
When I say they move through the air bet term ita the collars, spinning more freely
Dday bumpers are fun make dropping weights or just catching weights bearable
What else worked 12 hours yestrday to make 18 mins of programming.
I’m not omplaing pays the bills and this hef is a riot, turns out he wrestled in HS and went to statesin OHio 2x,
We vullshitted about it and agreed it taught us both how to work
I look back at some of these entries and realize typing with an ipad can suck ass.
Sorry to be absent in people logs I do want to know what you are all up to.
trained again in the late PM tonight.

Notes.
Z-presses felt good the albino tore these up the other day - so Tony
inspired me to put some weight on the bar
pullups- been doing triples at +45 for a while , maybe I can start to push for 5’s
incline Db presses felt super hard
noticed on db’s rows my back and grip started to fail.
overall ok- I am still scared of all those hammer strength machines
I did notice that db’s go to 130 maybe 140.
thanks for reading.
nice. Glad i learned what z presses are today as well.
Solid work Kev.
That looks like a session I could enjoy.
Speaking of hammer strength machines, I remember working my neck on their 4-way neck machine. For whatever reason, was thinking of trying neck bridge exercises one day, couldn’t support my weight even, let alone move around. HammerZ are totally useless for functional (there, I said it!) strength. Gets you swole, but that’s about the size of it.
I will try to pimp out some viz soon
will figure out when- I am working thru the weekend and then the next 5 days after.
when it rains it pours.
DJS thanks for the visit.
Tod- thank you, it your crazy volume influencing me.
PG thanks- I have never used a machine for any neck work - unless it was some contraption
at a chiro or PT office.
Plenty of neck bridges, with weight, and plenty of neck harness work.
I cant do either now so I have a normal sized neck now somewhere between 17 and 18"
I have some crazy soreness in the obliques from those OH presses.

Matty I need to find my flip camera

K- thanks man if I have anything its decent grip and forearms
Greg - nice to see you here too
that is a departure for me this past session
more pressing then I am usually capable of
wanted to train again tonight but a long day of work
I did something better
wrestled and read books with little man instead
this is us riding the Ferris wheel at a county Fair we went too last weekend
we are both all sweaty as hell-
if you look close you can see two jacked up GrecoRoman ears in that pic
