Thank you! I hit 225 last year about this time and haven’t seen it since. I was hoping to get back there and was totally thrilled to surpass it! Even if it was only by five pounds.

Freakin’ sweet, CL!!
I agree, rings are the least expensive, best piece of upper body equipment a person can buy. Add a box to raise the feet level with the hands, and rings totally revolutionize pushups. The twist motion they enable makes pull-ups a tendon-friendly, full-back-and-biceps exercise. Add a box to raise the feet a bit above the hands, and ring rows, aka fat-man pull-ups, become a legitimate rowing exercise.

Absolutely starving, can’t concentrate on lifting because all can think about is eating…lol
Maybe try again later.
Things I have figured out this go around
- I need to do more twisty things
- Need more single leg work
- Still have no lats
- Need to work on posterior chain my ass is not holding up its end of the bargain

Single leg glute bridges and Bulgarian split squats may very well address items 2 and 4. That’s exactly where I’m at - doing the low weight, single leg stuff to get my glutes and posterior chain pulling (ha literally) their own weight again.

That’s what I was thinking. Yuk!

Right?! I was “inspired” by @Frank_C who started doing the Bulgarians and keeps feeling better and better.
