I second this. Self care is very important - helps relax and get that recovery going when you melt away the stress. But I never considered how looking run down in the mirror equates to feeling run...

Last week was good, very active even on my rest days. Looking to keep that up. Took it a bit lighter today.

I've been going between high bar and low bar squat lately but think I may keep trying to...

Haven't been posting here. Work and life have been busier but for the better. Took on a new position for work that's had me busy as hell.

I'm still hitting the weights 3x a week and getting some...

Still at it, but things have been busy, and then relaxing. Had a nice 4 day vacation. Missed Monday last week workout but made up for it somewhat by doing some laps in the hotel pool.

Ate a lot...

Think I was a bit nervous pushing hard on smith squat yesterday. Missed reps. Bad snow storm over the weekend and the roads were still a mess so didn't take the hike out to my regular gym, hit planet...

Great workout on Friday. Body weight is back to trending down post holidays which is good. Winter wonderland here in my neck of the woods. Will have to go out and brush the car off and shovel it out...

First bench press of the new year. Still struggling with 190. May deload down to 175-180 and try to hit that 5x5 to build strength and go back up to 190.

Happy New Year!

Things have been busy so haven't posted, but have been staying on routine. Hit dumbbells at home Christmas morning, and New Years day hit Planet Fitness. Actually went for a run in...

Good solid day in the gym. Put up 60s on incline DB press which felt great - could really feel the stretch. Went low rep heavy on the smith rack pulls. Was surprised how hard it was compared to...

Week has been solid so far. Hit Planet Fitness on Monday as there was a bad storm, and it’s closer than my regular gym. Went for a long walk on some hilly terrain on Tuesday. This morning was awesome...

That's fukkin awesome bro! Looks hard as hell. How long have you had these in your routine?

Its less a matter of grip style, and more a matter of how tightly you're squeezing the bar. Think more along the lines of dumbbells tough.

Also fwiw personally I wouldn't recommend a suicide grip...

Late start to the morning so hit up planet fitness. Was bummed I wasn't going to do barbell deadlifts but the smith rack pulls actually felt nice. Overall solid workout!

Day 3 PF
Friday, December...

Others have mentioned great advice. I'd second going lighter on weight and also avoiding that death grip. It's helped me when I had elbow issues.

Great day in the gym. Took a lot of sets to failure, great pumps.

Man it just sounds like you got sick or something lol there's tons of **** flying around. I've caught something a couple times myself already since around Thanksgiving.

Don't read too much into...

Officially 37 today lol as my body weight has been dropping I've been focusing more around hypertrophy. Still using the smith machine on squats to hit the quads more, but I think next week I'm going...

Got a good workout in yesterday. I've been around 173lbs body weight, and the weights have def been feeling heavier. Down to 171 this morning, trying to keep that trend going. Goal was to get to 170,...

Had a good workout Monday. Caught a stomach bug over the weekend but luckily was good to go for Monday. Today I hit the stationary bike for 40 minutes so it feels good to have gotten the cardio in. ...
