Weird, but impressive

:joy::joy::joy: I do sonograms for high risk OB. About 87% of our patients are there for obesity. It’s very hard on my right arm.

You’re leaving this wide open

Sounds like that is part of the job

Bring it.

I mean, heavy on your right arm…

You’re there to take pictures…not to provide Euphorigenic augmentation.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to locate a 400g baby in a 158kg woman? Using sound waves? Far more time consuming and prone to injury than Euphorigenic augmentation. And while I know for sure I am exceptional at one, I feel confident that I would also excel at the other. And I will leave it to you to decide which is which.
(I would like to point out that I took the time to convert to kgs for you metric system loving men).
@Cyrrex I apologize for the serious left turn that has happened in your log. I blame @wiseman83 .

As far as I can tell, there is still nothing serious happening here so no need to apologize.

Trying the thing that is all the new rage, but I have a lot of tweaking to do. First, I started at 4 inches off the ground, which is a spot a definitely and absolutely hate. Second, my equipment is not optimal. I couldn’t even use the pins today, so I did it of stack plates…which makes everything more awkward. Also, I have some new-ish straps that seem ill suited for heavy work like this, so I actually took them off again after the first set at 190. All in all, I hated it.

Then I put it on the floor and hit a conventional rep PR at 150. Not exactly a massive set, but man the last couple reps were murder.

That’s gross!

Nice work.

Thanks, but I feel like I am falling behind.

That’s what you get for being a follower.

I disagree.

It just LOOKS like something I would like. But sometimes there isn’t a problem that needs fixing, just need to sack up.

High rep deadlifts hit different.

I did some pretty wild sets there for a bit earlier this year. Felt like vomiting most days.

Given my specific history (explosive back injury), this kind of high rep stuff is probably better for me than heavy, low volume stuff. If I was a more responsible adult, I would make it a focal point in my training.

Alright, so more bench today, and mixed in some DB OHP at the end, just because. Top end strength feels weirdly insufficient, but then I absolutely destroyed 100 for a PR. Every rep felt good.

Of course, my arms were rubber for the OHPs, but whatever.

You seem to be hitting an awful lot of PRs for all the whining about feeling weak. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Good job. :blush:

He’s like Sampson from the Bible, except it’s not long hair it’s moaning about lifting, if he stopped his bench would drop 50% instantly.

Also congrats, but you beat me by 2 reps, as my teenage daughter would say (you’ll have to imagine the sassy tone) - rude.
