Yes. Several times they have had problems getting me under for surgery. When my son had his wisdom teeth cut out, they kept coming to me in the waiting room to tell me they hadn’t started yet because they couldn’t get him under.
Lying in bed with a hot water bottle against my lower back
The one week I try to take training up to @T3hPwnisher levels and my spine decides to fall apart ![]()
Hoping this old wives tale medical technique works some magic on me man.
I am so fucking pumped to train
That. Sucks.
Take it easy for a day or two to see how this plays out.
We are mere mortals, trying to emulate him will leave us broken. @aldebaran and I discussed this a few weeks ago. @T3hPwnisher workouts and effort is bad for us.
No fucking shit @theinneroh mate
I can’t walk ![]()
It is always worth taking into consideration that I’m training with a goal ultimately of self-destruction…
Yeah man you could have at least gave us a heads up ![]()

Get well soon chong.
And here’s the fatal flaw: if you were broing out, you could just do machine flyes and arms!

Will report later
Back is starting to heal up however left out the trap bar
I’m convinced it was the trap bar high reppers that caused it in the first place ![]()
I, too, have issues with high rep deads even with a trap bar. I get it in my right lower back. I have done well with the TB approach of the 1 set a week, and even with Dan John’s simply working up to a heavy double and calling it a day for DL.
Yeah @antiquity mate, god knows what was going through my head.
The pursuit of gains comes at the expense of intellectual capacity ![]()
Good press man.

I like the look of that. Think I’ll give it a try after I switch to Black.
I hope your back gets back online soon! In the meantime, I agree with the others - it’s prudent to avoid high-rep deadlifts and place safety first with barbell lifts, especially those involving the lower back.
Ya’ll are killing me here…
I could see someone losing tension/bracing on high rep TBDL. It would be easy to let up just a bit during the last few inches of the eccentric and then yank on the concentric.
But like you said, self destruction and all that. ![]()
It can be lost anywhere at any time in my experience. I tend to get hurt me rebreathing at the top than during any rep.
No mate
You’re killing us by raising the bar to insane levels and maniacs like me trying to keep up ![]()
