The fat bar sounds diesel. I am going to have to give it a try.
I’m going to do direct arm work tonight (gasp) with the new bar. See if I can’t get my forearms all pumped up. I want to try some fat bar zerchers this weekend. I feel like a kid with a new toy.

Seems like fat-bar Zerchers would be easier on the forearms/elbows…
good luck

Thats what I’m hoping. Thanks
I did several sets of curls,reverse curls and lying tri ext with the fat bar just now. Definitely can’t handle as much weight but felt good.

suck it up:)
we will be doing full ROM zerchers tomorrow as our supplemental squat variation. should be fun. i’ve only done the really heavy, off the pin type.
arm work and stuff is fun and all, just don’t go all bodybuilder on us.
I’m doing zerchers and squats tomorrow. Been doing chins and pushups between patients this morning. Lats are feeling much better but the left shoulder aches even with pushups. Have to really get on the ball and do all the shoulder rehab stuff (thanks JW for the info).

Your welcome, Steve. Hope the shoulder crap works itself out.

A lot of sarcastic answers came to mind but you’re much stronger then me so I thought the truth would be best. I do adult ultrasounds of hearts and the carotid arteries.
I somehow had an image out of One Flew Over, but all the patients were members of this forum. Imagine Meat in hospital robe getting ready for a heavy squat:)
Anyone of the guys on this forum in an insane rage could really do a lot of damage.
Not that its a lot but I got in 50 chins and 100 pushups today. I can’t workout tonight because my youngest has a hockey game. Looking forward to zerchers tomorrow with the new bar (really just a glorified 2’’ pipe).
10/24
squat 335x5,365x5,410x8
fat bar zerchers 4 sets-(I like regular bar zerchers better)
3 kids hockey games today and a pro game tonight gave me only 25 minutes to workout. Only one game tomorrow so I hope to do way to many reps and sets.
10/25
1.cleans 135x5,155x5,175x5,195x5,215x5,235x1
2.ab rollouts 135x5,155x5,175x5,195x5,215x5,235x5
military press 135x3,155x3,175x3,195x3,215x3,235x1,135x20
1.lunges-regular,over head,plyojump lunges,etc. 20 reps each set(10 each leg)
2.dips BWx10,10,10,15,15
3.fat bar chins BWx5,5,5,5,5
I was wiped after this. Felt great to get that low blood sugar shakey feeling. Having a big turkey dinner today. Really looking forward to it.
Good cleans. Did you do them using the fat bar?
Thanks Harry. I didn’t use the fat bar. Maybe next time. I hope to get to your power clean numbers someday.
Very satisfying workout yesterday and a huge turkey dinner last night with family over. I couldn’t have planned it any better. Wish I had more days like that.
