The baseball facility finally agreed to let me put my weights in there for S&C work, provided I have insurance (which I will) and fence it off to keep it safe from 8 year olds running around. Went to Home Depot to get plans to fence it off - looks like it'll be about $200 with hardware costs.

Cannot wait to get going. Hoping to install stuff next weekend.

Chuck is the greatest. There's an awesome video of him with Louie Simmons backstage getting ready to squat and it's intensity plusplusplus. He's basically ripping off all his helpers heads. It's great.

Also a better version of those Bombay drinks if you have access to an espresso machine, X number of shots. Brown sugar, twist of lemon & coke. Burger joint in Perth used to make them, MachOnes. They are prettttttty good.

I've thought about it. I thought it would be better to have logs that are like 6 months/1 year old and active in a sub forum or something. Something to give people motivation to stick with it. Those are the good logs anyways.

I dunno it could be like new logs/ older logs separated.

I dunno.

Why would you want a log forum? Without the logs H&F would be so low volume it wouldn't make sense to exist.

Splitting forums should be done to solve a problem, I really don't see one here.

Quick poll for the heavy guys out there, let's say 210lbs and over.

How many pushups can you do? One set to failure, decently strict.

I'm ~215.

Today I did 25. A few days ago I did 20 and that was my max. I aim to get these up in the next few weeks. It seems like it would be pretty easy to GTG on these and quickly progress.

I did a couple more sets of 20 today, pretty easy until the last 2 or 3

Edit: Last week was the 1st time I had done any in forever

so if i can set up my deadlift with good lumbar extension and almost maximal thoracic flexion and maintain a rigid spine during the lift, i should be safe? serious question.

on friday i tried doing this with a light weight to see what all the rage was, and i liked it enough to want to tape myself from the side to ensure my back doesn't come undone. i felt fast off the floor. 10x1x315 was the workout so not exactly enough to really judge this, but it felt good enough that i want to mess with it some more.

I imagine you were faster off the floor, but that weight is too light to see if it would give you trouble at the top.

Looking forward to a vid and seeing what you+others say about it.

that issue as described in SS is caused by lumbar rounding. that was one of my points in the other thread when people compared to KK. i think i can keep lumbar extension while having my upper back in pretty ridiculous looking flexion.
