Alex man--awesome to see where you are these days, looking back a couple years ago. You clearly love this and kudos on making it such a huge part of your life. And the amount you give back is really...

Crazy week! Last few days of early morning training:

Quick one.

TSA Week 16, Day 1

First non early morning session in months. Took a personal day to travel back from Massachusetts. Spent the day in Worcester watching my younger brother in the pool...

Thanks guys. #1 adjustment was just starting with hips lower. Otherwise just a couple mental cues involving pushing through the floor and keeping the lats locked down. But the hips shooting up real...

Awesome to see you tearing it up in here dude! Crazy strong.

Only thing about free meals is...I wish I implemented them a lot sooner :D

Great attitude man.

More small improvements on DL. I'm resetting almost every rep and making good technique come before just mindlessly ripping to get x reps in.

Deadlift
350 x 7 *3...

Nothing major! Digging chins and pull ups these days. I think I always wanted to try to get good at them but never actually invested the time.

Squat
310 x 7 *3...

Getting caught up in here--training looks business as usual!

Got some red velvet with your code--thanks in advance Bob.

Bob-definitely man. I'm probably not far off at all from where I "left off" with them in the fall.

Alex- Both! But this is by far the best I've felt benching. I can get super tight and it almost...

Spent some time looking at last session's DL, and 1st adjustment is hips are just starting way too high. When I shoot them up before the lift, I don't bring them back...

Really stoked about bench lately. Took a quick video of set 2-- 200lbs maybe not a ton of weight, but it's like a warm up on my working sets of 8. Probably gettin close...

Haha really good. They had a recent one on fear that's good too.

TSA Week 14, Day 2

I'm gonna drop a 5 min video I caught this morning in here--at first I started to think ok, this is probably going to be a little too "motivational" for me, a bit over...

Agreed, JP. For me it's being more consistent and warming up the same way I'd pull something heavy. Which sounds easy but if I'm not actually thinking, it turns into a slight cat-back RDL.

I have. I'm finding that I'm just not using my lower body nearly as much as I should be. I never felt uncomfortable pulling conventional, in fact for a while it was probably my best lift. I just...

Return of the Conventional DL

After 12 weeks of trying some different things with sumo pulling, we are going back to conventional. Reasoning is nothing was really...

Good thoughts for you bro. Sucks at the moment, I'm sure, but I know you and this ain't anything you can't handle.

Looking forward to seeing you rehab and continue to kick life's curveballs in...

I honestly don't have much thought on it yet. Which maybe is a good thing. But in a couple more months I would think I'm good for 425+ squat, 285+ bench, and deads I'll start to have a better idea in...
