Going to up the weight on squats this coming week. Definitely atleast 405 for some decent frequency work, maybe 415-425 if I’m feeling recovered enough. In mind that post. chain assistance is something I haven’t actually done in years, giving an extra day or two before squats will be wise. Today was easy as hell but the plight of ass and ham DOMS will surely prompt the destruction of shower curtains when I do my business.

also, down to consistent 230-231ish. Going to try to make 225-230 my normal weight again. I’m feeling so fat, but anyone would wager eating nutella 40x a day is going to cause that rofl.
“I just had one teaspoon of nutella.” - Said nobody ever.
Since when are you a teenage white girl with the nutella? Haha

I guess since recently. I just…couldn’t stop.
I had a bout with it at my last contest in between events I just sat against a wall by myself with people yoking 4 feet from me just engorging on nutella.

225x5
315x2
belt on
365x1 awesomely fast, stood up faster with this than 315
405x2
405x2 easier than 1st set, but the second rep i dive bombed and i kind of felt slow in the middle
405x2 good finish. tbh this weight felt heavy in the hole but very light on my back and toward mid-way.
20 Rep Squat Set (Late Jesse Marunde tribute, didn’t even know the guy, but i feel obligated to do these kinds of things not as a test of testicular fortitude, but more as a way to keep my head strong, and gut in check for the simple sake of it.)
315x20 this set dogged my mind before I did it, but in the midst of it I felt relief knowing I wasn’t falling apart that bad, even toward the end besides some cramping. I like shit like this.
#Cantwalk
So relieved to get this heavy day over with.
Light bench and will include some overhead on wed/thursday. Gotta keep my shoulders diesel cockstrong motherfucker.
Everything feels better when you get a good lift in.

In truth, it never really is more complicated than that. Or at least it shouldn’t be.

Did some external rotator flossing for my hips in between each set and I think it helped immensely today.

Srs question. When I train hamstrings directly, I feel like they become more actively involved in day to day movements but also my deadlifting and squatting. Only way I iso my hams is with bands mimicing ghr. For example my hamstrings got a pump/very warm from a warm up set of Deads. Was actually worried of injury. Does certain movements have potential to fux with other things? I never trained biceps while doing strongman in fear I’d tear a bicep. I feel like Chris now fuck.

I’ve wondered this stuff myself. I am inclined to think that all else being equal, a bigger/stronger muscle will be less likely to tear. I think that the chance of injury would only increase if you trained muscle groups extensively in isolation and then attempted heavy compound/complex movements with minimal training to put everything together holistically.
As long as you don’t add da sterons I don’t think you’ve got any tearing to worry about dawg.

I always heard the bigger the muscle, the larger the contraction on the tendon increasing tear. But Chris’ mention on da sterons is rather assuaging.
