There is to my mind a clear, meaningful difference between a mere superfluous use of pedantic verbosity to signal some kind of elitism, on the one hand, and an actual fine edge of meaning achievable...

C6W Week 5 - High Intensity Strength

Friday, 3/3

Deadlift:
1 x 1-4 at 465 (4 achieved @10) PR!

Optional exercises omitted

--

It's easier than the free barbell, has several failsafes along its path and requires no stabilization. Depending on your circumstance and goals, that can be a good or bad thing.

Cool, glad my banter isn't exclusively annoying lol. I'm in the company of doctors, PhDs and career professionals here, of which I am none, however.

I think red meat is the ideal food for this situation, personally, but also have never had the problem of struggling to eat enough volitionally.

Lol that's totally fair

You did those primarily or as an auxiliary variation for a max conventional pull?

The conventional deadlift is more fun, too, I think. Something has always struck me as a little awkward about the sumo variation. Maybe just to see how much easier it is, I'll switch to it briefly,...

Agree with all above.

In general, I would add that consistency and discipline are going to be required to make meaningful progress no matter what, and there are going to be times when it's...

"Sorry I shot you."

Lol

Yeah, it wasn't perfect. Wanted to try my hand at that weight for the prescribed set of 6, and I think it was fairly close; but I agree. A strict row would be locked down tighter at the hips. I think...

So I guess that is a superior variety in your book? :)

For my part, I don't care too much about the lack of an ecentric (and sometimes do control the descent slightly), nor about utilizing a...

Interesting... even controlling for sleep itself, how would you realistically beat your first time just on account of lack of recovery in general?

If I've got to pull any all-nighters soon I...

C6W Week 5 - High Intensity Strength

Wednesday, 2/3

Pendlay Row:
275 x 6 PR!, 275 x 6, 225 x 8*

Bench (T&G):
305 x 1-4 (2 achieved @10)

Interesting. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

It seemed to be a mixed bag on this workout, for me. Presses didn't go as well as they normally do (and I felt some latent lack of recovery there)...

Ironically true lol.

I did just about that on average (though in my case, it was a 16oz can, just maybe 3-4 days a week instead of daily) for several weeks and actually believed that I was experiencing an early onset of...

Just wondering about various experiences on this one. I slept about 4 hours last night in two broken stints and woke up very tired, but am following a program which has today marked as an important...

Another 80s classic ;)

I mean, it's pretty much a really common phrase lol. There are probably hundreds of movies that have that line somewhere in the script.

But only one is iconic.

Terminator 1984.

(Funny how all of these movie references are from the 80s.)
