*shrug*

It drives me nuts that the bar falls to one side of the V because its not a perfect V its more like a \o/ and the only attachment that is a perfect V is the tricep pushdown which just doesn't work for this. Aspy I know.

I saw a video about finangling the single hand cable attachments with two carabiners to allow more freedom in the articulation of the movement at the wrist. But I'm not going to take them off the machines at the gym and I'm a bum who hasn't bought any yet.

I have done the single arm rows on the landmine as well - both the "Meadows" style and the more strict to the side. They are a great anti-rotational exercise as well.

because its my thread

That Nuckols guy doesn't know what he's talking about, AMIRIGHT?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My paranoia about injuries has resurfaced its head. Unfortunately just a few weeks after my right glute med/QL issue seemed to finally go away....

I think I have a (minor) inguinal hernia on my right side

"The bulge" isn't there just like standing around, I don't feel anything moving around normally but I feel a pinching sensation when I'm in the right kind of hip flexion.

But the kicker is I'm pretty certain I feel a protrusion on the right side that isn't there on the left when I brace my abs "down" really hard.

Last week Monday in squats I felt something in that spot when I was coming out of the hole. Not painful kept up the rest of the reps/sets but definitely a feeling I didn't like. I hate anything that feels 'off' in the gym.

The odd thing is I have this faint recollection of feeling this years ago. I should really start keeping a "nuclears wtf is going on with me" log when I get these annoyances.

175 @ 172.5 bodyweight



dat face and grunt

Nice! Is this a PR or PR for your weight?

Thanks.

Both actually. It wasn't until the comments in N1's thread about him doing bodyweight that I even thought about attempting it myself.

I've stabilized around 173 now for the past 2 years and I had never attempted it at all in the last 2 years.

Solid

Nice!

More random **** because I want to post it

225 x 20 squat. Depth not perfect but close enough over the 20. Bar path pretty damn straight up and down though which I'd say is more important then being 1/2 - 1" high on depth on some of the reps.

No lift.

But at least they not yugoreps (rest 5s per rep).

Syndrom was a funny guy. Hit 285x20, but could barely hit like 390 max. Obviously his reps were way too long for his max to be anywhere near the calculator.

Also looks like you gained some holiday bloat and you are out of the tinybro division.

loco,

I'm pretty sure Yugo reracks the bar after every squat rep.

And it sounds dangerously like you're acknowledging the fact that squatting is harder for talls because of the longer ROM and more work required? Such a statement is heresy around these parts. That said, I think larger components were a) he was focusing mainly on olytarding, not driving his 1RM squat and, as a corollary, b) as I recall, he infrequently did near maximal work. Actually doing heavy singles gets you better at doing heavy singles than doing a 20 rep squat program. Shocking stuff!

I'll re-film with better consistent depth.

I also owe a more clear 175 OHP as well.

"nobody cares - but I'm sure some might be curious"

If one recalls (as if) back in 2018 in the LC thread I asked about anything to read regarding parenting because the new girlfriend had a 3.5 year old and I was beginning to feel like I wanted to be invested...

I disappeared because I let life with her get in the way of lifting (I know I know) and thus posting. I have lurked though. Mainly because I spend a whole lot less time on the home computer and the work laptop is AlwaysOn VPN and they block twoplustwo because "gambling"

Anyway . . .

Life happened and I put a ring on it (6/11/22) and made a small person who is articulate beyond his years, funny, darn good looking and just turned 3 yesterday. Born the week COVID lock downs began in earnest. I have been blessed to work from home full time and being present with him through every day. One of these days I need to finally put the time back into the gym. Havn't got fat, but lost about 10lbs since I stopped lifting and eating to maintain that low 170s. I probably couldn't even begin to put 150 overhead, let alone repeat that 175 for some time. But then again I could just grab some SARMS, right? :****ing huge ass eyeroll so hard I got whiplash:



...and now to lurk again for another few years or until I start lifting again. toodles

Double congratulations!
