Do you also train judo or is it just a funny name?

[nobody in particular]

post snapping my shoulders up i found a groove i could still bench with relatively pain free and put me in a similar ball park poundage wise. One thing I changed up big time that actually made a noticeable difference from early on was the first warmup set of any significance (old school weights with tinier holes and 55lb plates)where I made sure i did a full smooth touch n go 20 rep set. if i wasn't certain I'd do 2 and then move up.

may not sound like fuck all, but I wish i was less of a dickhead prior to this and had been doing it from the very start. really makes a difference. no soreness (of the bad type) post training and some gains (esp given I'm technically meant to be a cripple)

interestingly once the weights gett near limit,i find more than around 5-8 start tp hurt more than less. it's almost like whatever is left and keeping the joint in place only holds out for so many seconds at heavier weights.

Retired from powerlifting at age 40. There was a huge gym by me with a snack bar, bowling alley, etc, a real premium gym called sequoia in orange country. For your membership monthly price you could go to any of there instructional classes for free. Pretty cool. So i went to the beginning class and fell in love w judo.  After a month, i joined two hard core judo clubs in my area. I ended up going to classes 4-5 a week. Got my black belt in two years. Yes it was a ceremony black belt, as to get a REAL ronda rousey Japanese black belt would take years.

I did all of the tournaments, always the oldest guy there. If i fought a young kid, i has a chance. But with the older guys i always got smoked. Lolllllll never got hurt, as you learn how to fall and break fall.

But to do judo now would be suicidal. 😂

You can do lighter weights with higher reps?

I know.  But when you're doing a pair of 75s on DB incline as I described, whatwith the deep stretch holds at the bottom for 3-5 seconds per rep, using nice, smooth, negatives and you're stiĺl getting over 30 reps per set til failure, I reckon that's milking the lighter weight for higher reps to the Nth degree.
