Today was the first day I really had to nut up. I moved at a pretty good pace through the squats because if I waited too long the soreness would start to comeback. Weight moved easy though. So far the only thing really bothering me is my traps from carrying the bar, haven't had it in this spot for awhile and the skin is all pussified.

Nice squatting! Good to see your happy with your form.

Sick squatting....



If you're not squatting twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon your work capacity is shit. Man up and get on top of it.

I emailed the realtor. The building is 150x32, perfect for a 40 yard strip of field turf. We could be like the DeFrancos of the midwest, only less Jersey Shorish. And with a coke lab.

LMAO...


Sounds like a great plan guys.

No real mark up in coke. I'd find another idea

Notes:
Squatting seems to be getting easier. It's amazing what focusing your efforts on one thing while maintaining the others will do. Chronic soreness has went away, from what I read most people seem to experience the same thing after week 1. Video didn't record the second set for some reason. After the first I remembered to drive my elbows forward and it made of world of difference in upper back tightness. Squatting high bar feels as natural as walking down the street for me. And my elbows don't hurt anymore. Fuck low bar. Taking time off for chin-ups because they were bothering my strained pec made a bad lift for me even worse. Gaining weight didn't help either. They are going to be a big focus going forward so that I can get jakt lat fibraz like Mittens and Godsen. I need to do them everyday I'm in the gym.

Me or DSon? I just wanna lift there. You two can play tiddlywinks in the back with tutus on for all I care.

Good, about time you started training a REAL lift. :icon_conf

 

[fat_wilhelm]

Nice squats. Are you hook gripping because you saw how sexy I looked whilst using it?

 

[Donut62]

I never really practiced it because it would have required lowering the weight I was using in training. It wasn't that important to me to put my deadlift in a holding pattern. I figure since this month I won't be doing any heavy pulling it's a good time to give it an honest go. So far it feels pretty strong, though my thumbs hate me.

 

[fat_wilhelm]

In a few weeks, you won't even notice your thumbs.
