Man, what a shit excuse, lol.
But nice underpants.
What’s your max pull, anyway? I saw a bunch of sets on Insta the other day where you had full command of 170 or whatever.
Mate no idea. Max In comp back in Oct was 182.5. As I said above only have enough plates to make 177.5 so won’t be testing anything heavier for a while.
Chances are the bar bounced into your hand when you set it down at some point. It happens sometimes
It’s like there is a lump in the palm of my hand. Could just be a callus on the top but it’s pretty tender underneath.
I’d lay good money the bar hit you there. You wouldn’t necessarily notice during the set, it would just bruise up later.
If you don’t ever let up and squeeze the bar throughout the set without resetting your grip it is a lot less likely to happen. Greg hammers us on that, you don’t open your hands or release your grip until the set is over.
Thanks Mark good to know
Wow I was behind. Glad you’re ok. You’re a dude
Thanks TFP. All good now, bruising has all gone and bike is good. I don’t know about being a dude, I think I was just lucky. You keeping Ok?
Honestly all good here. We’re fortunate in that work can keep me. At worst we’ll not hit our bonuses this year, which so what. This has been a good opportunity for family time and we have been able to amass enough weights to stay amused. I really can’t complain.
Thanks for asking!
Good to hear. Stay safe mate .
Good looking top set Rob (and back off as well)
You’re rocking
Body feeling ok today. Washed the wife’s car this morning which involves lots of squatting to help mobility. Went for a nice walk with the kids. Think I might ha e a beer or two to celebrate!!
Lunch time beers done now it’s time to prep food for the week. This week I shall be mostly eating chilli!!!
Isn’t that what you eat every week?
It looks well good, I might have to rethink my food diary for next week.
I have two meals a day at work. They are either chilli and rice or, chicken and rice or potatoes. The chicken is either cooked on the bbq grill or slow cooked with tomatoes and beans. 2kg of mince or 2kg of chicken for the week worlds out to be approx 40g-50g of protein per meal.
I do similarly, under normal circumstances.
