Did you time your max lifts with the the greatest harmonized sound drop in 80's rock history?

Doing back and my gym got a few BLUSLM lat pulldown bars and they are pretty cool.

Any of you do hack squats often?
They have never felt comfortable to me. I can see getting hurt doing them more than just a regular barbell squat.

Never felt good to me, tried a bunch of different types of platforms too.

Did back, bis, shoulders also this week.

They seem retarded to me.

People rave about the pendulum squat though.

Farmers walk/Incline barbell press/Crossbody db hammer curl - alternate sets for 25 minutes

Just looked what that was
Seems like it's more natural feeling for your back.

Week 7 of Coan in the books.

Hitting totals was hard.

Realized I'm about 10lbs lighter than when I did in April, with higher weight goal, so that is likely the issue.

The extra running and rucking is making me a bit lighter - we'll see how it goes - don't want to get in a spot where I'm doing a shitty lift.

Yesterday leg day
Today chest/triceps

Shoulders/Traps yesterday
Chest today

I appreciate the kind words Donny.

The ruck is my favorite because I had a friend ask me about it about 5 months ago, because he didn't like to run but wanted more challenge to a walk - so I lent him one.  It went so well that he gets up at 5 am and goes solo 4x a week, but now we have a standing time early Saturdays where we go through woods and up and down a small mountain near us.  For me it's great, because doing something like this with a buddy makes it much more enjoyable, and I'm also seeing this guy progress and want new challenges - so it makes me do better too.

It's more like a speed bump, but that qualifies here.  They also ski it, and the "black diamond" (all relative again), is steep as fuck with weight.

I'm sure it is going skiing downhill with weights on your back
