1x7/190 was shooting 10 :frowning: I have pulled these in the same place so long the floor is uneven. The bar kept trying to twist. I’m just throwing the trap bar in the car next time and taking it to the gym where the floor is level.

Shit got sideways last week. Sunday I loaded/unloaded a washer, recliner, gas grill, cast iron bench, and aome carpet. The gas grill bruised my right at the hip crease. Them had a peep emergency, then later in the week a peep pet emergency, and I bought a new pair of shoes, that made the bones in my right foot hurt along with my hip. Why can’t they make decent shoes that don’t cost $200?
Anyway, moved my weight stand, dumbbell rack all the weights, and pulled up the mats to put down a piece of 3/4 plywood yesterday. Put the mats back on it, moved the racks back and then tried to DL. Uh… no. Did a couple of sets and could not get in the groove.
So… I started to get pissy about the whole thing and said… Nope! These things happen, you just have to learn to deal with it. The plan is to just do the 2nd week, this week. It will be okay!

Some days, it just isn’t your day. Better to retreat and lick your wounds, get ready for the next battle.

There’s your cardio for the week.

As a dad of 2 young kids, please don’t tell me what this is.

That’s what I keep saying!

Oh come on now! Where’s your sense of adventure?

I had a sense of adventure 10,000 plays of baby shark ago. My missus even bought the CD so the little monsters could listen in the car.

:rofl: Fair enough. No way I could listen too it in car! Just no!

Combining ab work, cardio and baby shark is just a list of all the worst things in the world. Might as well throw some broccoli on there and call it hell.

Is there 531 for pistols?

I will never know :joy:

You’re going to have to use bands on the 5 and 3s day for balance. I’ll save the sharp stick for your PR sets.
