I fucking hate barbell rows more than any other movement and cannot find a way to do them comfortably.
I don't get it.

My mom hyperventilates when she watches me compete and she cried when I tore my arm. At my first contest, they had an ambulance parked off to the side. That's all she needed to see.
As a side note, once again, I am reminded that I fucking hate barbell rows more than any other movement and cannot find a way to do them comfortably. I'll stick to DB's.
I think recognizing that fact is the key to long term results. There's no sense in getting discouraged when you're in the business of moving heavy shit because sooner or later, you're going to get fucked up. The hard part is explaining that reality to our mothers.
I posted this article on the main page in a thread, and since no one really reads the main page anymore I will repost it here. The very wise and well spoken Matt Perryman (great lifting blog here) wrote a great piece on periodization and Westside that sums up things Enright and others have argued ad nauseum about on the main page.

I searched for Redneck Rocker, and I only wish this was me.
12/6/09 - Sunday - Bacon Tribute Workout
I normally do a few box jumps or broad jumps as part of my warm up to get the neurons firing. I thought it would be a good idea to try and jump onto a 46" jerk box after making a 42" plyo box easy. I missed, and my shins broke my fall, my left on a large metal bolt sticking out the side (apparently jerk blocks aren't child safe). The gash was tremendous. My shoe was filled with blood before I got to the locker room. So now, waiting to see if stapling will be required. I will update with gore pics.

Cock tease.
Morale of the story: Fat people shouldn't try and jump on things.
