Getting sick sucks! Hope you feel better!
Ink for a warmup, i would just use the bands with the bar and do a few sets there for cns activation. I actually find it harder to balance just the bar with bands than with weights added to it.
Trav, thanks man. Thankfully it’s not a full on bodily assault, just my nose and sinuses.
Choke them around the dumbbells, it will make em tighter. How tall are you? That does make a difference.
I’ll do that, a few warmup sets with the bar + bands, thanks dude.

haha I meant you. Youre gonna have to play around with and get creative with your set up cause of your height. Ive got about over half a foot on you, so just choking the bands makes it tight for me.
DF, yeah i’ll have to play around with that, one thing i could do is go to my golds gym and use minis attached to the safety rack.
ME day
Pin pulls from bottom of knee:1355,1355,2253,3151,4051 No straps or wraps up to this point. add wraps 4950,took wraps off added straps and nailed it(see vid)
545*0 my feet were just a little off the edge to the front(see first video for setup, end of video) and couldn’t quite overcome it, readjusted footing and nailed it.
Sumo pulls:1355,2253,315*3
Done, i felt like like complete shit. My sinuses are really pissed at me and i’ve had a headache for most of the day as well. My plan was to at least get the ME work in and keep volume low, i think i’ll keep that approach the rest of the week depending on how i feel. If i continue to feel like crap, i’ll probably just take the rest of the week off and just sleep as much as possible.
get well soon!
Shit man, little readjustment and…BAM, that 495 flew up.
Crushed that 545 too, while feeling like shit. Damn dude, I’m starting to dislike you, in a good way. Keep kicking ass.
LWI
Thanks Mim, i actually do feel a little better today, but we’ll see.
Ink, thanks brother. Get ready to hate me even more.

Maybe I’ll mail you some anthrax. Have you been vaccinated?
Takes alot to get shit done when you’re sick! Good stuff
haha ink you bastard, actually i haven’t that i know of.
Thanks trav, i feel much better today, just a little chest congestion.
ME bench: Bench with slingshot felt pretty light last week, and i got my own slingshot so i thought i would go for another pr and break mine in.
Bench with slingshot:13510,13510,2253, added slingshot and wraps2751,3151,3651,375*1(pr)I missed the groove pretty good this time, but i was still able to get it.
Jm press:7510,12510,1758, 7510(nosebusters),10(jm presses)
Meadows one arm tbar rows:4510,9010,13510,1806(started to get hard because the plates were pressing up against my forearms),90*10(really strict and for feel)
Pinwheel curls:3010,5010,70*10
Done, felt pretty decent today. So hopefully i’ll continue this progress and saturday will be another great lifting day and that will hopefully carry over into next week and beyond.
QUIT TAP DANCING…youre bad at it anyways.
Nah, but seriously, drive those feet in the ground. Otherwise, good ass PR!
Curious, how much carryover does the slingshot give? I want to try one of those out.

My heels would be hard pressed(no pun intended) to reach the floor somewhat comfortably. I will try to experiment more with foot placement next week on DE day and see what i can come up with.
I would guess it gives about 10% ish.
Oh, you’d know if you were vaccinated. It’s 6 shots (or, it used to be) in the ass cheek or arm (you choice) and each one burns like the fire of 1000 suns.
On the “heels to the floor” tip from DF, you don’t need to make contact with the floor, just the action of you forcing your heels down helps lock your body into position. At least, that’s what I read Dave Tate had said about it.
And the slingshot looks like it’s somewhat the same idea as if you take a mini band and form it into an “8” with an arm through each loop and the band across your chest. That seem right?

Ink that just might work, though i would use one of the thinner longer bands, maybe the monsters or the red long bands. I would think the 41 inch ones would be the ones you would need.
I think that bench is high compared to comp benches, maybe put plates under your feet for better leg drive? Comp benches are 42-45 cm high (literally just learned that today in the PL forum haha)
Trav, you may be right. I’ve thought about putting weights or a step up for my feet, but i don’t have any good flat plates to use and i’m just lazy and don’t go looking for them on bench day.
DE lower: Squats felt like i was about to bottom out, but they are still high. I need to continue to work on my core, hip and glute/posterior chain. I need to sit up taller at the bottom of a squat, i lean forward way too much.
Squats with bands:1352,2252,2252,2252,2252,2252 As i said these felt so damn low, but i still need to get lower.
Deads with bands:1552,2552,2552,2552,2552,2552 Felt slow today, video looks slow too. Probably going to lighten them up next week.
Wide stance good mornings:15510,2055,255*5 I like these a little more than conventional stance.
Glute ham raise:3*5 with bodyweight.
Done, got a little too amped pre workout and hit the wall alot sooner than normal, but kept on truckin. Everything felt pretty slow as well.
DE Bench:
Speed bench with orange minis:bar10,bar5,/warmups 1353,1353,1353,1353,1353,1353,1353,1353 Felt a little slow, could just be me being mental. Tried to get heels on floor, but floor was too dirty and they kept slipping, toes tucked underneath me seems to feel pretty good, just need to remember to get good let drive.
Db shoulder press:6010,8010,95*12
Db rows:7010,1306(no straps dead stop style),1806(tried to do them without straps but grip not strong enough, put straps on and did them dead stop style) 8010 with pause at top of each rep
Rope extensions(overhead)7015,10015,115*15 Light work, elbows a little tender, i will be more intense on ME day and go heavier.
Farmers walks:110’s15yards or so down and back, 120’s115yards down and back.
Done
