Nice work boss.
Nice biker shorts too

[bigwade800]

those are the rehband pants I finally pulled the trigger on. Not very flattering on an ogre like me but, they keep my hips warm.

Just emailed you training footage from today and looking back on it, it was the twisting front squat that did it to me today. How do I fix this issue?

Nice job coming back after the 500 miss not long ago and smashing 505.

Plain and simple, you are loose. if the knees push forward at all, even in the hole, the chest drops. There is also a panic mode, you had the weight going but, once you felt it roll, you dumped it. There is only one wya to learn to grind and that's to do it. It is an acquired skill and an art. You have to dig in. the looseness is causing the issue.

I had 505 on the brain and have no idea why. I woke up at midnight and couldn't' go back to sleep until about 2 or so. It was not ideal. Going to the clean grip has helped and it's been a process and while it's not my biggest front squat ever, my best ever was 535 with misses at 555 and 565. I had crossed arms and I never feel like I was as upright or as locked in as I do with the clean grip. It was nice to have it go finally after all this time. When I stood up, I knew I wasn't right in the middle and had to let it settle back on the heels and balance it. To be at this point in my career and hit 30 under my all time best, I'll take it.

I was stiff and tired. Last week was a big lifting week, stressful work week and I have 2 girls lifting at the pro/am in 2 weeks cutting, that's a joy..then Missy the weekend after, that's a joy as well...it all caught up this weekend. We went, most of the training group to a brunch and day drank...i was worthless the rest of the day and my back is still fkd from Friday.

That was my first thought as well

[penny0527]

Not with me!

[bigwade800]

Meet time around the gym can be sketchy. i started to go off this morning but, it's one of the girls first cut and she's not handling it well. So, I refrained. But, I will only go so long before saying something.

[penny0527]

I was thinking this morning I may have to bring my stance in to get less hips involved.

[penny0527]

Did I get a well worn Texas bar when I was there? I never had to tape my thumbs. I'm scared what will happen when I buy my own bar.

[bigwade800]

I don't think so. I think you had the new one.

[penny0527]

I don't think so. I think you had the new one.

Maybe I've lost feeling on my thumbs then

[bigwade800]

you simply get used to it


every now and then it'll sting and I imagine once the SM contest is done and I'm pulling weekly again from the floor, it'll be painful for a bit. I pulled the 13" pulls this morning hook with no issue whatsoever but, it was only 325.

So basically Harry is a pussy and uses tape?

[bigwade800]

something like that

[anandagirl]

So basically Harry is a pussy and uses tape?

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to penny0527 again."

I didn't get to do much this morning so, no training news

but, I got shipping confirmation on the new 2.5 kg bumpers. I got them from CFF via Werksan. These are the plates that are the size of a bumper, you can drop them if need be and weigh only 2.5kg and they are also IWF approved. Doesn't seem like a big deal but, for our little place, this is a big addition.

As the house addition gets done, we also have another 1 ton ductless unit to add to the gym which will give us 3 units.

These are just little triumphs for us as when i started, having bumpers period was a blessing and when I added turbo fans versus box fans, we felt like we had arrived.

My how things have changed. Can you imagine if you ever had to move??

[bigwade800]

There is a reason why I haven't. I rented the house for about 5 years. I started looking and that is a huge pain in the ass. The owner, who is a great great friend of mine, offered to sell it and made me a deal I couldn't refuse. Part of the deal was the addition and the rest is history. I have put my whole life in that house and little gym.
