Abs, quad sweep, round shoulders and bicep peaks?! You’re all muscley now.

Your conventional deadlift is already looking better! Just a few days ago it looked the bar was drifting out and away from you and I didn’t want to jump all over your case. Yesterday you were already pulling it closer. Good job!

Keep up the strong work.

Lol! Thanks! And fat, you forgot the fat.
It’s funny, because I just got a lecture yesterday about not getting too muscly and gross looking :roll_eyes: Pretty sure that’s never gonna happen. :rofl:

I’m slowly getting back into swing of things on the conventionals. A couple of reps of the 165 today got out in front of me more than I would have liked. As always, thank you for help.

I think learning how to use the lifting straps might be a life changing experience. Those were THE best rows I have ever done :rofl: My back is on :fire:

Had to go to the hospital again yesterday so food was not on point. Ok, basically non existent. Time to eat!

Lol! Thanks, but I have a looong way to go.

What’s the goal? Strong woman competitor?

Goal is to keep getting stronger at a bodyweight between 125-130. I would love to be strong enough to compete some day.

Every damn set the left shoulder is lower than the right. Bybthe end I am consciously trying to pull it up even with the other. Hmmm… now I have to figure out how to fix it.

Good detective work. Maybe you are like me…lopsided.

Apparently so. It can lopsided the other 23,75 hours in day. It needs to straighten up when i am trying to bench…lol
I don’t notice it on the OHP. Didn’t notice it on the trap bar carry. Why is it doing it when I am benching?

Happy cake day! BTW

Is the left dropping or are you elevating the right one? Im guessing it’s the latter. I’ve never seen someone accidentally depress a shoulder but elevation (shrugging) is quite common.

Could be, the left arm is the one that is flared out and not holding up its end of the bargain. Just going to have to work on it. Thanks!

Looks like I’m not the only one who gets to work on scapular stability. I just shared a good video about that in jshaving’s log.
