I mean…I really was just going through the motions. Usually I would get all psyched up for even making such and attempt, and would revel in the result afterwards, but today it was all just, meh, whatever. Like I was just doing a lift that I earned a few weeks ago and just went through the motions.
You talk about lots of stuff, I am unclear as to whether I ever agreed to any of it.
Could you two start a joint log where you just affectionately bicker with each other. I’d love it.
You never really listen to me.
I feel so unappreciated
It’s three biscuits wherever people use 20kg plates instead of 45 lbs. Isn’t decline easier because the angle makes more > mehanical advantage. ROM less important.
Your feeling bad and mine are obviously very different. I got pinned and you hit a PR. Nice work
Yeah, I will go along with that…in this case, I think the mechanical advantage is defined by the movement taking advantage of slightly stronger muscles. In the same way that an incline is at mechanical disadvantage for not taking advantage of those same muscles.
We were all lined up for a Netflix variety show, but then Corona hit.
Congrats on the PR!
Congrats on the PR! 140 kgs is no joke. I hope that one day I’ll reach this!
Barbell decline is not my fav, but I love it with DBs. This is the variation that hits my chest the most
Thanks man. I have never tried DB declines, seems getting in position would be a pain.
I only use a 10-20° decline
Day off yesterday, and I needed it. I did give Bob a bit of love, it has been several weeks at least since I have done that. Got to figure out how to get better at that.
Deadlifts today. It is starting to get a bit easy, even though I have put 15 kilo on the topset since I started this TM program (in…June? July? Dunno.). So tempting to push the top end, but smarter to push the sub-max, so I did a joker at 160 just to see how that felt. Not exactly an AMRAP, I probably could have gotten a few more out of it.

Did some ab scrunchy thingies as well.
Nice pulling sir. Well done
This is a great improvement and 160 x 10 is no joke! Amazing!
Almost double my bodyweight, and thinking back it is probably a rep PR, but that would mostly be because I never really tried repping it out. I can feel now that I am roughly nearly as strong as my best DLs of the past, although I won’t likely attempt to push maxes, so it will just have to be hypothetical maxes for now.
Bonus pulling day, of the vertical nature. Made it more about reps than weight, which is tough in its own way.

You’re doing a good job with your deadlift progression. Non straining singles mixed with some rep work and letting your strength grow organically is a great strategy. No reason to go berzerk at this point.
Thx. And happy birthday!
Thanks
Squat Day. Had thought I might try a bunch of reps at 130, but my CNS is apparently a bit blitzed from Deadlifts two days ago. Did it at 120 instead. My entire posterior chain is just lit up today, nothing felt good. Decent work, anyway, so whatever.
