And I got your email, too! I’m following you on Facebook, but I don’t know if that’s announced in your daily bell list thing. I’m clearly not cool enough to have followers, so I’ve no idea what your world is like :grin:

    Holy unexpected leg weakness, Bat-people! Pushing up from the bottom was easy, yet I gasped and pause-repped the entire set.

I need a second upper body day in the week to progress my bench press. I swapped out machine chest presses with DB OHP to see if my shoulders are less stiff the next couple days. If so, machine chest press will be the central pushing exercise for my second weekly UB workout.

ya, my bench press stalls pretty quickly without frequency! Great workout nonetheless :smiley:

I hear you! The traditional bodypart split is a ticket straight to neutrality for me. Even my legs really benefit from twice-weekly workouts. How about you?

Thank you! I’m slowly returning to consistency. It’s nice to see you back here, too :slight_smile:

I just marathoned thru everything in your log since February this year. (Watching the baby pre-dawn, not much better to do!)
What a ride!
Hows the “new” job? Did the illness cause problems there?
How old are you, ish, btw?
What training goals, if any, post-illness?
Thinking back to SDP, do you feel it was effective for you, all else being equal?

Fwiw i picked up a lot of useful tips reading so far back in your log. Like the idea of tempo squats after DL, of focusing on just DL and Push Press, and others which I’m likely to forget quickly.

Cheers!
