Rack posiition improving already throughout the sets. As most things, it is a matter of just doing it and getting used to it

Thanks mate. It’s still not exactly natural and I don’t feel particularly quick. But I’ll keep chipping away.

That’s the spirit. It will take a while but it’s going to be worth it.

It’s a public holiday in Melbourne today (Tuesday). It is the Melbourne Cup Horse race or as it’s called ‘The race that stops a nation’.
I’ve lived here for 20 years and still find it funny that we get a day off to watch a horse race. Still I’m not complaining, instead I am getting a few chores done and enjoying some relaxation time. Leg and chest doms is pretty bad today. I must remember to keep eating :joy:

Well, the Victorians get a day off…the rest of the country usually knocks off anywhere between 12 and 3 (race starts at 3), unless you work for a horrible, you generally arent required to work after the race - in offices anyway.

It is all ridiculous. But its quite a big part of the aussie culture, as is the Bathurst 1000 V8 supercars endurance event, and the Boxing Day Test Cricket Match!

Growing up there wasnt a single television on those three days that didnt have it on. I still watch all three! I dont move far from the lounge room on Boxing Day…or the 4 days after it LOL - a Test goes for up 5 days. Often its part of a series…the first test is usually 1.5 weeks or so before Xmas. Xmas day the two sides (Australia of course, and whoever thier opponent is, India, England or whoever) share a Xmas day event on the cricket ground of the boxing day test together with all of thier respective families and staff etc which is pretty cool.

STRAYA!

These are proper work.

Lat pull downs (wide grip)

Good stretch and pump

Ab roll from knees
3 sets of 10
hanging leg raises - did these holding a bar and hanging to stretch my back at the same time.
3 sets of 15

Now that was a bloody good session. Felt strong and big today. Doesn’t get much better than that. Quality

Deadlift - @T3hPwnisher I tried hard to not go forward and pull back on the first tonight. I actually did this on the warm up sets and with the lighter weight almost fell backwards.
I think the touches were much more co trolled today, let me know what you think ?

I love the “come fuck me” music you got playing there as you do those horny looking hack squats.

Press work looks good. Just keep at it.
