Nice new thread title. By the way, my youngest son’s name is Reznor. Sucks about the back, but I’m sure you will be back strong in quick order.[/quote]
That is a great anme for a son.
I was pissy for about a day and a half and then I got over it.

How do you like that HS Decline Press? The new gym I go to has the seated press and the incline press. I can actually incline press much more than the seated press.
They own the lying-down flat press that my other gym had (bought it at foreclosure auction) it’s just not out on the floor yet. I love that machine.

The HS Decline is a pretty nice machine, but it seems to hit my tris really hard and I find that I have to fiddle with the seat set up more than I have to do with other HS machines.
That flat press machine sounds very interesting, sadly we don’t have one or I’d use the hell out of it.[/quote]
The HS decline really hurts my shoulder. I cant find the right seat position. Great training aorund the bad back.
Thanks jw, it sucks but I’m hoping to make some progress while working it out.

We have a ton of them and i’m going to make use of a lot of them over the next few weeks.
Around rep 15 things got uncomfortable so thats where I stopped. next time I will most likely do 10 reps and add sets for a bit.
I find walking lunges with DBs work the hell out of my lower body (glutes/hams mostly) without loading my lower back. But damn they hurt.
Your new log title doesn’t make me hungry. That’s both a positive and a negative. 
x 2 on the walking lunge suggestion. They hurt really bad so they must be good.
I see my ART girl every two weeks (2 x a month). Its sort of for maintenance these days, to make sure that my various proto-aches and pains stay minor.
have no fear, at some point my log wil inspire your appetite again.

This kind of sucked in the, I needed a roast beef sandwich and a nap when I was done, way. Interestingly I have never done Incline bench before, it felt odd.
Damn, that there is some volume…and supersetting stuff is good for the ticker!!Nice work Joe
mmmm roast beef sammich.
Nice work in here, Joe, I hope the back heels up.
I always find incline bench really funky and unstable when I haven’t done it in awhile. So I totally get what you mean when you say it feels odd. Can’t believe you’ve never tried it before. What made you do so today?

Well until I know exactly what the hell is wrong with my back I’m going to do a traditional bodybuilder split, Upper-Lower, with more volume. So I needed some more compound lifts that wouldn’t make things worse.

Now lets see if the front squats were a bad idea.
I’ve been known to pretty much fall over doing walking lunges.
The bodybuilding type training is a nice change from straight powerlifting stuff. I do some of this once a week with good results. Perhaps you’ll even come to like it, just a wee bit?

Yeah I can just see it now, fake tan all oiled up and doing burn outs.
Perhaps if nothing else it will do something for my invisible biceps.
All this volume. You gonna get all swoll up. Admit it, you’re sneakin into the bathroom and hit a pose in the mirror. I love the incline bench. Staple of shot putters.

I’m keeping the incline presses even when I hopefully go back to 5/3/1.

I took my naked farmer’s walk bars out of the box and gave them a spin. I only got one set of callors so thats annoying but fixable. Without weights they weigh about 20lbs each so I did eight laps of 90 paces with not stops between laps.
I’m going to pick up 4 25lbs this week and use that as a start.
I’m going to work suitcase deads in with the farmer’s walks if I can.
