Ballsack. No 300 push press by January 1 for me. Tried split jerks for the first time ever. Felt weird but damn does the weight fly. Did some light pause bench today, pec feels good. Could actually do some dips again too. Praise cissus!
 
That's the hope. If Ohio State scores a defensive or special teams touchdown, they will win. Their defensive line is going to have their way with Oregon's front five, but everyone behind needs to play assignment football and not get tricked.

Penn State is looking good, Wisconsin played great, so if Iowa and the Buckeyes can pull off a win it will be a great year.
 
Nice work in here, Donut.

I tried SJs for the first time on Wednesday and they felt really awkward. Found it tough sometimes to stay tight throughout the motion.

Are you watching Northwestern? Holy Shit! - They just missed a field goal to win.

If OSU, Penn State, Iowa win along with Wis, then the talking heads will probably talk about how old school physical defense is back, and the best way to stop gimmick offenses.

The commentary gets so annoying. Talking heads have a memory of about 3 weeks.

Good day. Can't lift tomorrow because of some things going on, so I benched today. At this point not reinjuring my pec is priority number 1, but I still want to feel 90% weight in my hands and keep the groove fresh so I did a hardcore reverse band workout. Bar was an inch out of the bands at lockout, and took about 45 pounds off the chest. Enough that nothing felt twingy. Took it easy on squats to save up for last big deadlift day this week.

I don't watch basketball, so I'm guessing they beat OSU. That's very nice, Kurt, *pats head* forget about the pain...
 
I would do more high rep pressing for the bench to help heal your pec. Something along the BBB in the 531....then again anything in the 2-5x10-15 range will work....some lighter flyes might help as well...

nice lifting.

I was going to warm up with some light squats but wound up playing around my form a little bit and went way heavier than I should have. I moved my bar position up a little bit and wore my oly shoes. The 440 was completely raw and I could have tripled it. I was going back through my old data because I started to make a connection in my head about these pec strains, and sure enough, all three times it has happened is when I have went to lower bar position in the back squat. Lately I have really been holding it low, and I think the extra strain on my shoulders from it is causing the problems. Luckily I don't have squat this meet, but I think I am going to try moving it back up and use closer to my old form next training cycle. Similar to this. I don't think I'm much weaker that way and it is 1000 times less strain on my shoulders and elbows. They always feel sore after squat days. /deep thoughts

Deadlift went well. 585 was hard but on video review I had gripped the bar off centered and it wanted to helicopter the whole way up. Regardless, feeling good for another PR at the meet.

Took my RHR this morning and it was 51. I don't always log it, but I have doing 15 minutes of treadmill walking after every lifting session and 30 on all off days for over 3 weeks now. Previous to that it was up to 60-62 when I stopped doing it. Feeling like I am recovering much better now.
