Strong and Conditioned (ChongLordUno)

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 :man_facepalming:

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.

It is always worth taking into consideration that I’m training with a goal ultimately of self-destruction…

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 :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

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.

The pursuit of gains comes at the expense of intellectual capacity :man_facepalming:

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.

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. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

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.
