You had to press a towel? Or did you wear a towel while pressing? I’m confusted.
I’m with you on the Pendlays. Do you always keep them in rotation or do you mix it up a bit?

James it was the heaviest fucking towel in the world!
Whether it was prescribed by Mike or not, Ill always keep Pendlays and Lever Rows in the rotation, definitely my go to back moves

What are these?
Nice work on the high pulls, that’s some heavy ass weight!
Thanks Bro!
What I do is actually a super set, between band pushdowns and tri ladders.
So your telling me a Smith machine does have a purpose other than making high school kids think they can bench about 50 pounds more than they actually can?
LOL yes! albeit with 0 weights!

I think it has come to the point of a full deload. Its been about 22 weeks (including a meet) and I am physically and mentally beat to shit. I need a re-charge, my lifts have meandered my aches and pains are increasing and mentally Im in a fog. I feel like I am looking like shit too. I am known to sweat alot while training but today I went through 3 shirts. My headaches since the meet hasnt stopped (MRI this Friday open this time).
Basically I am fried. I’m not enjoying anything right now, especially training.
