I can see you were hungry for heavy pulls as well ![]()
Don’t be or the results will be screwed ahah
Jesus… on the machine right? I have one of these in my gym, I’m so eager to try it
It’s the hammer strength one, the one you put plates on. They have the weight stack one too, but i can go up to 360 on the hammer strength.
Normally i’d do 360, but I went pretty hard yesterday.
I got the dexascan day mixed up. I was nervous and slept like crap last night. Woke up heavier. As I was rushing to the appointment, I got a confirmation text for TOMORROW!!! So I get to spend another day thinking about it.
I was just going to walk on the treadmill until I saw your post. It’s your fault.
In case of doubt, always choose deadlifting over cardio ![]()
The dexa had me baffled
, but Francese told me that water is interpreted at fat? I have been bloated the last few days.
Today was
day. Easy on the joints, hard on the mental.
