Weird, but impressive

We have a few bars like that. The one complaint I have about my gym is the state of the bars. Desperately in need of some good power bars and a decent deadlift bar

Decent day today. Very sleepy and low confidence to start out, and even failed the first attempt at 92.5
but then I focused a bit and paid more attention to what I was doing.

Tried some of those kelso shrugs, but found them to be awkward
felt better just standing up and leaning forward a bit and shrugging in that position. I dunno.

Titties. Topsets have been lackluster lately, but the backoff sets are the real point here and they are getting my max effort.

Oof. Poor sleep the past few nights, especially last night. So “hard day” on squats was less fun than usual (and it is never fun). Strength was fine at 165. Wussed out on the 140 set, too drained to push it. Made up for it a little at 130.

Quickie today. Too many short sessions lately, life getting in the way. Bumped my TM up to 95 today, which I am not sure I am ready for, but figured the best way to get ready for it was to just do it. Only thing it really does is make all the sub-max sets a bit heavier.

Get your priorities right dude. What’s more important: your life or lifting some arbitrary numbers that no-one really understands?

Damn straight. Just quit the day job, get yourself some Tren and go for it. Lets impress those internet strangers.

Becoming increasingly clear that the prowler is not going to be a singular cure for my conditioning woes (due to lack of time or availability of the thing), so I am going to start my relationship with Bob up again. Gave him a good buggering for about 15 minutes this morning. Trying to go low-impact with the punches (donkey punches?) so as not to piss off my elbows.

Bewbs. My focus here lately is to just be better at the stuff between 70 and 90% and I think I am doing that
slowly but surely.

You have any home fitness stuff? Kbs, jump rope, etc? Tactical Barbell has a few workouts based around hitting a heavy bag. “Devil’s Trinity” in particular might be up your alley.

KB swings x 1 min (24kg 2H)
Burpees x 1 min
Heavy Bag x 1 min

x 5 rounds

No KB, but if I want to add a weighted component I could easily find a substitute.

But then you had to go and mention burpees, lol.

I’d honestly just do sprawl drills and keep it combat oriented.

Pull day. Started with some deadlifts just to see what was what. Been months since I have done them, so pulling 200 just sorta confirmed for me that I can continue to ignore them.

Prowler was accessible today, so hit that for 5 minutes or so.

As long as it doesn’t affect us.

Who even are you?

Oh, so now you suddenly show interest.

A guy who probably won’t deadlift again for a bunch of months.

4327

Even though you don’t deadlift very often, you never seem to have a problem getting it up.

4328

Getting it up is never the problem, mate. Maintaining rigidity through the process is sometimes troublesome.
