Did they actually own their house?
I “own” my house but in reality I owe the bank a ton of money for it and I make payments. I am required to have insurance. If I don’t then they’ll get it and charge me for it anyway to protect their interest.
Nope but it was a homeswest house. It’s like a housing system in australia (cheap houses) for struggling families or something and yeah different to getting a mortgage from the bank. They pay the money off to the housing company i think, so i dont know what happens now. Im guessing theyl have to pay money back still and pay for the house to be rebuilt. I hope not

Thanks man! 80kg per hand feels light on my grip. Its still the other muscles that need to play catchup. So Its going to skyrocket!
Larry Wheels is answering my question about OHP form. I always wondered if it had to be from a dead stop. He let’s it drop a bit to utilize the stretch reflex. Works for me!

Confession: I use straps at anything over 120kg on the bar. Partly because I have to grip stuff full force at work all day and partly because when I strap up it allows me to focus on form more without worrying about grip. (Read also a pussy)
Loving the fact you are finally getting to do the things you wanted in your training, enjoy!

Need to work on that leg drive and getting it consistent, also pack shoulders from what i can see. Any other form issues let me know.
Strict barbell OHP
3×5 30kg shoulders were fried from the axle
Lat pulldowns
220lbs ×8 too heavy ( was using pretty strict form but wasnt engaging lats enough)
180lbs ×10 better
140ibs 2×10 perfect
Axle curls superset tricep pushdown 3×10
Facepulls 3×10.
Very pleased with today. After the pulldowns my lower back felt alot better because it was feeling all jacked up and the pulldowns straightened my back a bit. figured out that my upper back is rounded from the axle press vids and it never used to be like that when i was lifting last year. In my 8 months layoff my posture got super retarded.

Ya know, it really depends. The bar dip strict press is a popular move for Instagram, and it does exactly what you point out, and from there it just depends on the reason the press is being trained. I’ve known some folks that even went so far as to start at the top of lockout, ala a bench press. I prefer to start cold off the chest, but at the same time I do touch and go from there, so it becomes a bit of both.

Reps with trainer and 1
Number two forced close ×10 seconds
No.1×5
Trainer ×33 reps PR
Few sets of hand bands. I need to find the sweet spot for grippers now that I’m lifting again. I don’t want to tire my grip and affect gym performance but then i want to improve my grippers so… for now I’ll try one day a week with heaps of volume and see what happens. I cant do higher frequency like i used to

If I were you, I would try to do it 3 or 4 days before whenever your event training is. Cause it looks like you do alot of grip taxing lifts on event day. Which is also awesome, cause now your grip strength is gonna explode with the farmers, axle work, etc. Doing axle deads and farmers hold made my grip strength skyrocket.
