Yea I'll be fine. Lower back isn't sore at all.

Whats the plan for volume pressing day?

[im2manly]

Whats the plan for volume pressing day?

Volume might not have been the right word. But i was thinking hypertrophy blood and guts based.

knee started to hurt so I called it a day.

[HunterMC6]

Knee still bothers you eh? That sucks a lot hope you get that worked out some time soon man, I want to some high DL'ing and squats to go along with all this crazy upper body work you are doing.

Knee has improved alot just not all the way. I think the combo of running on hard pavement, at my size, was probably not wise especially for not for 2 miles. I squat high bar and, although I feel douchey using this term, ATG so I don't foresee squatting near 405 for a long time. However, I am planning to add 20lbs per week to my DL each week. Next week I plan on pulling 515 for a double, then 535, 555, 585, etc.

[PeterGibbons316]

Not sure if you are already doing this, but running on asphalt is amazingly softer than concrete. Dirt/grass is even better, but the risk of unsure footing and ankle sprains goes up.

yea I should probably only run on dirt/grass but the whole sprained ankle thing freaks me out.

in?



Oh wait.

lol how much do you DL?

Ironwill is going to be 65 in September, and even he doesn't have joint aches like you do.

Ummm living up to that forum name I see. Those should be some intense pulls do you think you can jump 20lbs every time you pull and stay on that pace without stalling?

[-Lucifer]

Bill weighs 193.

[im2manly]

Given that I am pulling really light weight right now I should be able to keep it going for some time (hopefully)

Bill weighs 193.

Ok lu, sorry. I only weight 120lbs more than him. Why are you trying to troll me in my journal lu?

225 x 5
275 x 5
315 x 3

135 x 3
225 x 3
315 x 3
405 x 2
455 x 2

Mobility work and stretch those legs/hips. My left knee was hurting because my IT band was so ****ing tight. I foam rolled and stretched that bitch out last night so well that I woke up with almost no knee issues this morning.

yea working on hip mobility would probably really help. Need to build a foam roller at some point.

Don't waste money on a new one, Manly. Buy a 2 ft long PVC pipe and cover it up with hockey tape. Cheap and effective.
