There's a Ham in the Power Rack! Part II

[LunaLifts]

Catching up, good stuff in here!
I'm glad I can see, I feel like my face isn't meant for glasses. I can't even find a pair of sunglasses that doesn't make my face look weird. I've worn color contacts before, but my eyes get irritated by the end of the day (maybe it's because they're just color lenses though) so that'd annoy me too.

Plus when it's optional you're choosing for it to be a pain in the ass. I'm super careful putting them in, and taking them out after seeing multiple episodes of a show about parasites, and infections where people had their contacts exposed to tap water. Long story short, the treatment is a few months of searingly painful eye drops every few hours day and night. So yeah, when I have contacts I'm paranoid af, so I'm glad I don't require them.

I remember something years ago about bad contacts with parasites and people across the country were going blind from it. They recalled a chitload of contacts but many people were affected already.

I didn't think it was possible either!

Strong workout, many boats were rowed on this day.

I'm out of USP Labs Super Cissus, joint support. :/ I ordered some online but it's backordered. I may have to switch my cissus supplement to something else. I'd prefer the pills over powder, powder seems like a major PITA. For now I'm getting by on glucosamine and fish oil.



Lulz, well that's my breaking news for the day.

[Partyrocking]

Get SNS cissus.

Get SNS cissus.

DUDE, you're awesome!! It's almost dead on! How did I not know about this? Only difference I see is it's 1500mg instead of 1600mg, won't even be noticeable. Fark yeah, ordering on Amazon right meow!

Decent lift day and very hard run. I think I left a sweaty sprinkling of sweet honey glaze on the trail. Incline bp is still coming along well. It doesn't feel awkward any more. Repping out a plate on it is fairly easy.

[astronut96]

Awesome pressing Ham!

What have you found to be your ideal bench angle for incline?

[thehobbes]

Thanks! I go a little bit flatter than a 45 degree angle. It's a big enough angle to be difficult yet doesn't hurt my shoulders.

Holy ham, it was just 93 degrees out and now it's 53 out. Chit is getting serious when I don't know if I should wear shorts or sweat pants to bed.

[LunaLifts]

Daaaamn, nice dead/squat day. I had to stop doing heavy squats and deads in one day, because it kicked my ass so hard. Then again, I had less sets, and a couple accessories (that I ended up skipping because of the other two).

You had a big drop in temps too? Ours when from 80's to 60's overnight, I'd rather start off cold working out than hot so I'm ok with it.

Yeah it's hard to do both in one day. When I split them up they're really short workouts. Together it glazes my ham, hard.

Yeah, dropped to 49 last night. I may have to set the furnace so it turns on 15min before I wake up so I'm not all pissed off every morning lol.

That's interesting, somehow I hadn't thought about the angle of incline bench affecting shoulder comfort. The incline bench I use at my gym isn't adjustable though, so it may be a moot point for me, lol.

It was 32 this morning when I woke up, I was not pleased, and would have preferred to go back to bed until the weather became more acceptable.

Moot is a funny word. But yes if you have your angle where it's closer to an OHP than a flat bp it may bother your shoulders.

Ugh!


Guys I'm trying to get my workouts up, stupid Windows 10 keeps updating and shutting my computer down with no warning!

Went pretty heavy on bp singles, they felt a little slow but I got them there. Incline was smooth, not a ton of strength left for that though.

And today all of a sudden there were leaves EVERYWHERE! Had to deal with that for a couple hours so small children don't fall into my yard and get lost LMAO.

Very happy with DL, I'm right there almost at my PR weight. Squats went great as well. I always feel nice and warmed up for squats when I do those and DL in the same day. Workout days are going to be in a different order this week due to being pretty busy. It's all good, I like to switch it up sometimes.

Thanks! Incline has really been bothering my shoulder and I wondered if I had the bench too high. Based on you response, I'm pretty sure I do. Such a simple thing

[LunaLifts]

Good leg session, cut off reaper shirt looking badass.

Still strong AF!!!
