Whie I would have phrased it differently (because I am one of those annoying people), I tend to agree here. You will get used to the feeling if you keep doing it.
Just use it normally and keep the handles held high/pushed up.
Maybe you are a pussy.
But front racking does suck.
Congrats on the pr!
Do you do any other stuff that you don’t log or is this the extent of your training? (This is curiosity not my usual cynical sarcastic posts in your journal).
That’s the extent of my training, which tends to be a bit less than all you psychos.
My app just records the time of day, which is why it presents like that.

It’s less, but it works for you!
How long are you in the gym on average? Is there any cardio or stretching/rolling?

Cardio and stretching is for losers (also I don’t have time). Five minutes of walking as a warmup.
I am usually training for about one hour in total. Most sessions I am operating at or close to my maximums, and I find I do less work in terms of total sets when I take that approach. Back in the days of 531 BBB EMB I was doing a lot more total work.

Two days ago I did some jumps (which were shit, I suck), and some bulgarians. Didn’t bother to record. Day off yesterday. Deadlifts today. Neither good nor bad, but I should be able to rep better at 140 than this. I guess I won’t be threatening @simo74 for the crown any time soon.

Here’s a cute little PR. I really shouldn’t have tried….the first rep was pretty okay, but the second one was an RPS 5. Right side in particular did not really want to come up. But come up it did, and my boy didn’t have to touch the bar. So it counts. Depleted much of my energy reserves, though.

You’re the one who said it was cute. I was simply agreeing. As is our agreement.

Wanted to do more today, but still having some bit of lower back doms from a few days ago. Of course the goblet squats use a shitload of lower back, but not in a way that might fold me in half. Anyway, the squats that I did do were slow, smooth and deep. Just they way you mom likes it.
