Reverse bands does look like fun. I’ve gotta get some bands to play with.
Good luck with the deload and the healing. What happened to your thumb?

They are cool I never tried them before as the bottom of the lift is my weak point, but needed to switch things up considering Thursday I did 480x5 Sunday I did 500 with thin iron plates which made it a lot harder and did the 320 farmers pick attempt.
About 2 1/2 years ago I damn near cut it off in a lifting accident Had to get about 30 stitches and it cut the tendon sheathes but not the tendons. It is fine now but my right thumg is less then 1/2 as strong as my left which has really limited my grip in the past.
I need a stone trainer!!!

Its just the end of a barbell I unscrewed
Those reverse band DLs look SO awesome. Very nice.
Your pendlays are also really strict, mega awesome.
And your DIY stone trainer is also very awesome.
My Wolverine is just very awesome lol
Nice reverse band DL man, I fucking LOVE those things.
Good luck leading up to, and dominating your contest man!
“Your Wolverine” haha thanks Nikki!
Ink, yeah seeing you and DF do them has had me itching to try them. My weakness is off the floor but lifting 6 plates from the ground still felt cool.
Thanks man there is some strong bastards out here and the lightweight cut off is 231 so doubtful domination will be going on but I’ll hold my own and get some pr’s
Man, I just hit 5 plates in RBDL’s recently, and that was the best feeling ever. Can’t wait to hit 6…and 7…haha.
“Domination” is in your mind man, and you’ll kill it. PR’s will fall from the sky that day
Yup Ink its gonna be a blast!
Forgot the extra stuff I did yesterday
ran the rack with dumbbell shrugs
125-25 15 reps each no rest
3x20 on the neck harness. I consider having a neck one of the worst qualities a man can have.

Yes, big traps are good, VERY good. Carry on.
Hi Kalle! Nice work in here as always!
I generally workout fasted, and do what I think is my best training on carb-loads (3k - 5k calories the night before), but that’s just me. I’m also not tossing logs and picking up anything huge and impressive. lol!
Btw, your semi-deload is pretty huge! Overachiever 
I feel compelled to chime in on the neck discussion since bodies are my business. Necks are wonderful because they allow us to look around, but SO MANY things can go wrong with them. The mobility of the upper cervical spine is a blessing as well as a curse IMO.
And yes, big traps are preferred to smaller.
Looking good Kalle!
Masch, thanks I’ll keep carrying on till I get mini Kazmaier traps
I’m the opposite I am horrible to be around if I go 4 hours without eating I need my eats.
By deload I just mean switching the movement up a bit. It is still heavy and Ain’t easy by any means.
Veggie, haha all this talk about necks I don’t know if I said the joke right. Just joking about how when you got a thick neck and upper neck people refer to you as having “no neck” so having a neck I consider negative. Just trying to get my neck back over 18"
Wish you could help me with a spinal decompression from across the coast I am sure that is something I need badly. I crack my own back on my foam roller every day haha
THANKS
reverse bands looked awesome nice work.
we are about the same height - you might have 15 lbs on me and your twice as thick
My neck is probably the smallest its ever been at close to 17" its not bad having no neck-
mine is super delicate and brokenated.

Thanks KMC,
I’m 5’6 and am a fairly chunky 195ish at the moment.
17 is still big for your weight. Mines about the same right now I think, your neck is jacked from wrestling?

12" Log Strict Press
95x5
145x5
165x3
185x3

Got off work late and was taking my mom to see Leon Russell perform for mothers day. Which was amazing, dude is a legend.
Oh I get it! Lol. You guys and your vanity ;D
OK good luck on your quest to having no neck.
2 PRs in 15 minutes? Very awesome.
those log presses are solid
your not that chunky- cause your conditioning seems solid too
I am like 180 something
and yes My neck is herniated and fused from wrestling
