Decent day. Got in late to the gym but got it done. First back day without deads. I plan to ad a core day on Wednesday. Abs and lower back work will be the focus and should help to keep my lower back somewhat strong.
Solid effort Shane. Man, hip cramp during CGBP? Getting old sucks… Nah, I’ve definitely had hammy cramps during bench. The rest of it looked good too. Yeah, I hear you on the O Line/D Line gap. Couldn’t agree more. It seems like lots of teams have good D Line but only a handful have good O Line. All the Panthers fans are screaming to spend every draft pick next year on O Line. I would have to agree.
I know, it’s crazy the cramp I got in my hip yesterday. LoL. Getting old absolutely sucks!
Falcons fans are screaming for the same. Our line is built for a completely different blocking scheme than our new head coach wants to run. If you can’t run the ball you are not going to be hard to game plan for.
Nice core/cardio session. I’m trying to imagine an ab wheel that sucks. Is it like those grocery cart wheels with the flat spots the bump bump bump all over the store?
Decent day. I wanted 8 at 225 but without a spot I wasn’t going to push it.
I have got to get my weight down. I did start creatine again and have been taking it daily for about a week but I don’t think the weight loss issues are that.
With me not doing squats and deads I am going to roll into a PPL next week. This will give more time to schedule in extra conditioning.
“I wanted 8x225” he says… I want 1x225. Hell of a session Shane. Taking creatine? Man, I haven’t taken that since college. What is the reasoning there? To be able to lift more?
As a fellow knee pain sufferer, BFR is one of the things that I think has helped me keep some quad size by allowing me to train hardish while my knees are pissed off. If you haven’t tried that, it might be worth a go.
I appreciate the advice. I think most of the things that are pissing my knee off right now is just overall load that I put on it. Heavy dead lifts I think might have been the culprit. It is feeling a lot better this week. Plan forward is to work in the 10-20 rep sets instead of doing heavy triples, singles, etc.
Nice leg day on Friday, Shane. I would have been in DOMS Town all weekend after that. Sorry to see the Falcons got smoked this weekend (well not really sorry but sorry for you ). At least you have the Bull Dogs though.
Great looking session Shane. You had DOMS and still crushed it! Nice! Way to destroy some leg press and bench. Crap ton of other work too. It reads more like a novel…
