Great video! I was utterly charmed.
I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Christmas![/quote]
Charmed? I’m going to give this guy I paid to pose as me a $5 tip!
Shoulders…a weak point so I’m going to add in more volume and see what happens. No real plan today. Just feeling out some stuff (and getting away from the swirl of family at my house).
Joe…I just got back from a party at a friends house (fun time…the kids had a big Nerf war with their new guns. Nothing says peace and joy like a clean head shot) and had 3 bowls of chili plus other stuff. I hope it works.
N. and kimba, she does take vit D but not in the dose that I would recommend (4000+ IU). And some fish oil but mild amounts. That is a good reminder. If she sees it in writing somewhere she is more likely to do it. Time to look for an online article.
Hey Git! Glad to hear the holidays went well. Sorry to hear about your lady but I think the light is an awesome idea! sometimes i sit under my grow light and that helps tons

Ha, it’s a suck up duel at sundown. Hmmm, sounds wrong.

185 x 5…set each of conv. and sumo
225 x 5…set each of conv. and sumo
275 x 1…conv.
315 x 5…conv. (vid) Weight felt a little forward. Need to pull back more.
375 x 5…sumo (vid) Using conventional as a warmup for sumo doesn’t work that well (shocker). Felt off. Live and learn.

That’s quite a bit of volume doing lots of warm up sets of conventional “and” sumo deads before you even get to your work sets, so that’s not too suprising you felt “off”.
Alot of good work going on there.
Has it warmed up a bit with you now? I noticed no gloves!

Yeah, a few too many warm-ups but it only makes sense to use the same lift to warm-up as work sets to get the pattern down and work the necessary muscles. I wasn’t fatigued…it just felt like my body was “confused”.
Yes it was warmer today…+8C. But going back down to -2C tomorrow.

light weights buddy! when are you going to put some weight on the bar?
In addition to putting weight on the bar, also f*ck the bar at the end to finish the lift (plus the ladies like it!)[/quote]
Hey blame Wendler, I’m just following the progression. I’m supposed to lift 420 next week. We’ll see how that goes.
And, you are right. I’ve been feeling that I’m pulling ‘up’ too much and not ‘back’ enough. Thanks for confirming that for me. Let the bar humping commence!
