Thanks for following my silly pursuits!

Ok back wasn’t ready for DL’s and doing all the suited stuff throws my raw form off.

just worked up to 405 for a bunch of singles getting my grove back, low back was fried. Wonder why? haha

farmers walk for 60ft

190x5 runs working on moving fast gonna increase 20lbs every week/other week

Yesterday sucked, I got to figure out how to structure my off season training this next week.

I did go to my friends birthday party and eat about 2lbs of smoked pork and uhhhhh bacon jam which was amazing. It was 3lbs of bacon that someone did magic to and made into a spread. I just wanted to eat the whole jar with a spoon.

Still 202lbs this morning lol

bacon jam?!?

sounds evil.

deadlift gonna be a slow build back up
Deadlifts

worked up to 405x3 and they all felt awful so I stopped. Feels like I just get pulled forward or the bar is to far in front and putting ton of pressure on low back. I haven’t really felt good deads for over 6 months and haven’t trained them from the floor or without a suit so I knew this was coming it will come back but for the moment my back squat is higher then my DL haha

4" deficit dead no belt working on getting low and into position these felt great

225 3x5
275x2x5

bb rows

3x10
band ab pulldowns

nice PR on the strict press :slight_smile:

Sumo deadlift

Never done these before I want to try them out I think I got good leverages/strengths for them Going to try again Saturday.

just did a bunch of singles with 225 and 315 playing with feet width, angle hip position, etc Not sure I have any better clue what I am doing after this

My legs were so damn pumped and hips are shot… great times

What up Squat PRs!

Strong work in here as usual man. What fed is the meet you are doing?

I’ll look back a few pages in case I missed it.
