The Stimulating Reps

Would that be a lifetime dead PR? I seem to recall you having a moment of reverse zen after hitting a 600lb SGDL? Maybe it was conventional though.

Yeah, that'd be a lifetime PR. My 9-year-old lifetime PR is 276kg.

Definitely never got a 600# sgdl.

[Hanley]

Eh. Should probably start logging again.

Caved and went to PT for elbow tendonitis and general hip/back fuckery. Great decision. I wish every city could have a PT/facility as awesome as Prime Performance and Physio (Belgrade MT). That place is fast-tracking to being a PL mecca.

Also of note: I started TRT. Goodbye Natty Card. Meh. Pretty great so far. I was worried about aggression (history of being a hot-head), but -- to my surprise -- I'm quite tranquil

Anyway
11/19: Bench: 25 reps @ 315 in sets of 2-4 (all snappy) + cardio
11/20: SSB: 245 x 8, then 5x5. just getting grooved.

If you're going to switch units you have a lot of work to get another patriotic meme, but it will be way more genuine in America-units.

Cannabis schtick is the low-hanging fruit now.

Chins/Pullups: 5x12 (6 of each every set)

EDIT: also added in quasi-myo sets of 1-arm bench supported KB Row
70 x 12,9,6 each arm (but the rest was like 60 seconds). Rear delts died

Well...maybe not. A gentleman (new to Montana and apparently oblivious to certain cultural norms) thought it would be okay to call me a bitch at my local bar on Friday night. I conveyed my displeasure and made boundaries clear.

Did you kiss him?

Something like that

12/5

Step Ups: 3x10 each leg @135

aaaaaaand….that’s all

[Hanley]

12/6

Bench 3x5 @ 340.

Data forthcoming. Felt like a total slog and peak force data supports that.

[EricK]

Is this thing still on?
