Thanks George. No help there, I just walk them over, sit down with them on my thighs, and roll back and get them into place in one movement. Nice thing about doing this is it like a free visit to the chiro, cracks my back every time:)

So when you fail, do they just come down and rest on the side of your chest?

Yep, and then ‘gently’ drop them, and hope they don’t roll over anyones toes.

I’m cool with any site that digs on Doug Young and Pisarenko.
trying to get my training back on schedule, I prefer having my ME lower on Saturdays because, a) gives me 48 hours before ME upper b) it allows me to do what I want Saturday night without fear of how I am going to feel squatting/pulling the next day and c) Sundays are too short anyway, like to spend it with family.
So despite have DE lower on Thursday I made it in today. Cut it a little short. Here is what I did:
DL 155 x 10, 245 x 5, 335 x 5, 425 x 3, 515 x 3, 605 x 2. It was easy, but haven’t pulled form the floor in awhile. Thought about going heavier but since this is where I got injured in July, decided to be happy with this for today. Could have gotten another couple of reps, or added weight. Next time.
Shrugs worked up to two sets of 12 with 495, sans straps.
Ab wheel 4 x 15-20
RDLs 245 x 10, 335 x 6, 425 x 2 sets of 5
legs extension 4 x 15
standing calve 4 x 15-20
Today was definitely another half assed ME lower workout. I gotta man up on these days. Pissing myself off. A year ago in my log I have notations like “ass flu, squatted 545 x 5 w/o wraps” lol. I am not joking either. Need to try and get a tidy Saturday squat crew together. I think it is doable.
30 minutes elliptical this a.m.
Yesterday did nothing. Sinus infection snuck back up on me and felt listless. Did manage to eat a lot of crap though. This messes with my tastebuds so bad that nothing ‘good’ is appealing to me.
That sinus infection just doesn’t want to go away. It’s not weakening you at all. Deadlift 605x2 and call it an easy day…I hate you again.
Sure has been making me feel weak. Starting to feel much better today, almost no PND, escpecially after the curry I had for lunch burned everything out. Benching tonight, looking forward to it.
hope the curry doesnt burn out the wrong end…
602 easy day. I need to eat more.

But he’s so cuddly…
Nice lifting, Boss.
Sinus infection bedamned, I benched tonight.
Raw warm ups: bar x million, 135 x 10, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 5, 315 x 5, 365 x 3 (closing grip, this was easy, want to take this for a rep pr ride soon).
Increasingly looser shirt added: 415 x 1, 435 x 1, 465 x 1, 470 x 1 easy, for recent PR (not all time)
3Board 405 x 5, 455 x 5? last one was fugly, tris were getting fried fast.
no funky shirt, raw back off 275 x 15 to get me all swole
rope down/extension super set 4 x 15-20 each
lateral raise 4 x 10-15, last sets 55s x 10
Will start training in squat suit very soon, maybe Saturday. Going to order a gansta single ply shirt for Xmas. Looking at a meet in February, maybe. PND kicked in after the 435 set of benches, so everyone was extra impressed at the 470 while hacking phlegm:)
Nice numbers on the bench. Be great to see you hit 500 by Feb.
Thanks Eco.
this a.m. 30 minutes elliptical.
yesterday did nothing, literally. Sinus shit knocked me back on my ass. Slept the whole day. Feel ok now, but I am making an appointment with a specialist. I know I need surgery. My nose has been broken more times than I can remember. And each year I am paying for it a little more.
Back to work today, feel good, but that could change. Will try and squat later. Much to catch up on.
