What about for a bodymaintainer? But yeah, that ROM is completely FULL for the EVs of the world, not so much for anyone trying to get stronger.

Thoughts on OP surpassing the mythical triple digit weight barrier for RDLs?

What's the weight barrier for rdls?

A certain very orange and very ROM challenged forum denizen believes that if you put more than a 25 lb plate per side on the bar for RDLs, the only question is whether your spine crumbles before your hamstrings tear from the bone and rip completely in half.

I think even when I started out I still used 135 as a working weight.

Felt really good today. No joint pain at all during workout for the first time in awhile. 4 days in between pressing movements may be the right frequency for me.

I just saw a clip of Larry Wheels pressing 315 for x6, no belt wearing flip flops.
What a freak human.

First workout back in the states. Been feeling under the weather with travel grunge.

Been kind of stagnant for awhile so looked around for something else to try. I decided to give Gillingham's 12 wk bench program a shot.
So today was heavy day. The only awkward feeling thing was starting the day with a heavy single.

Bench
1x10 95
1x5 135
1x5 185
1x3 225
1x1 300
3x5 265

Dips

Traveling always takes it out of me. How did you like Taiwan, still thinking of moving there?

Man it was so hot and sticky, but that's what I expected going there this time of year. Had a lot of fun I like Taiwan. Close to Japan and Korea which is a plus and also Macau for when I want to get into those 4k/8k short deck games you know.

Pretty likely I'll make the move. I'm thinking maybe the end of next year. I want to sell my house here and everything before I move.

Kind of weird. I've lived in the states my whole life. Never did I think I would ever end up living in a different country.(Even though I did live in Okinawa for 2yrs in the military)

I will miss the short 1hr flight to Vegas during the summers.

Yeah it is outrageously humid there. The north side of the island gets really windy as well. Still it's a great place to live.

You should learn some Mandarin before you move imo.

I'm trying, but it's so difficult. Japanese was so much easier.

I just can't get used to all the tones. Have no clue how anyone knows this language lol.

Where do you live currently?

I am in Vietnam now. Left Taiwan in Feb and came here.

I found Mandarin far easier than Japanese. The grammar for Chinese is far easier and the vocabulary is pretty small. If there is a context to the conversation you often don't even need tones. If you move there you'll pick it up in no time I'm sure.
