"He runs, an activity that we defeated eons ago when humans discovered we are slower than every other animal on earth and can ride horses" - joelash302
If you bench like a 15 yr old, I bench like a 16 year old
I got called out in a thread and that's just my little way of saying not a fuk is given to haters. I'll own my lifting and forget the excuses.
This would be a hyper day, but there may be some routine changes in here. Not to be a routine jumper, but being able to bench, back squat (love you, manta ray!), and deadlift nearly 100% healthy now has me amped up 1000% to pound at it and make it suffer. Thinking about running Madcow for the main lifts, while adding a little volume since my recovery seems good. The goal is to get back to where I was in shorter order (mainly squatting), then cover some new ground. The routine listing will be more boring, so I'll try and just record more video and post that.
It finally seems like I have my diet in order. At the end of my cut I was feeling the need to go overboard once a week, and it was continuing on into this bulk. I feel a lot more stable now and have been able to control myself again.
Sorry about the lack of updates, but the fun doesn't start until tomorrow. I did sort of a deload workout yesterday, just working up to a moderate squat triple, and warm up sets on bench. I was tempted to take a week off for the first time in as long as I can remember, but we know how that goes.
Since you're actively shooting video, would be you be willing to vid the yates rows to help a brother out?

Don't listen to what people say about your bench numbers. Is it heavy for you? Are you continuing to make progress? This is all that matters. The only person you need to compete with is yourself.
These pissing contents about how much weight people move are juvenile.
Of course, but here is a video with the man himself showing how it's done.

Nice, thanks for sharing that. My form is pretty close, on my heavier sets I get a bit more upright to reduce stress on lower back, not sure if this means it's too heavy or not. The actual rowing portion is still pretty strict though. I'm also doing an underhanded grip.
Good stuff, will rep but you're always on spread for providing lulz.

Thanks, but that doesn't bother me. I just went in there to stick up for Jason a little bit and got caught up in trolling them back...fun for me, but I was wishing I didn't do it because it gave them more attention on the subforum than they deserve.
That's the way I used to do my BB rows, but I didn't care for it. I didn't feel like I was getting enough ROM with them.

Give and take with everything, but they also seem to hit the back differently. I feel Yates rows more in the lats, while a bent row hits more rhombus and spinal erectors...traps, basically a lot more upper as opposed to mid back. I know the difference in grip width plays a role in that, too.
If my lower back was 100% maybe I'd do more of a bent row, but I have to pick what's best for me so I can stay healthy and besides, there are a million different exercises that can go in a routine to target the back.
The good: Everything starts pretty light, so there were no problems. I enjoy full body, so that's always fun.
The technical: Lower back strength will have to continue to improve bringing back squats into the mix. Pretty tight this morning and I would have like to have gone deeper with my reps. I'm using a belt on the one main sets for squats and working on hook grip for all the rows.
Thanks for throwing in the rows on that vid, appreciate it.

Sick work on the Yates row and squats. yates row already more than your BW. Thats how ya do it! Good shyt.
I don't train really to win contests. Not to win friends. Not to look pretty. Not to look at some chick's ass. I train and train very hard cause it's uncomfortable. It's painful. It's demanding. I like that. Time to bleed. - Manu

good luck with your new routine,
btw, your Bench is not going into a straight line, take a look in some vids from Rippetoe and etc
Thanks, let's both kick some butt. Good pick up on the bench, but it's planned. I know Westside teaches the straight bar path/limiting ROM, but arm length, grip, and other stuff plays a role in that too.
I love full body work out but it could be hard if you don't have alot of energy. Healthy
foods give you energy and also raw foods give you energy. check out whyeathealthyfoods
^^^ Took the advice of the above, ate 5 pounds of raw meat, crapped my brains out, and died doing squats with pink dumbbells.

Little hard to get into this WO, but I guess it's more of an active recovery type day. Just pulled conventional since sumo felt sloppy. I'll stick with it as the weight goes up.

Reason: forgot to add the accessory work
Looks like I might be logging on here more, so I better get some reading material.
What up, B. Getting lazy with the posting with the holiday season. Speaking of which, I hope everybody has a great one and I'm going to have a ton of reading to do to find out what has been going on since the little break.
