365 Powerlifting the one who is hosting my next planned event doesn’t require the singlet for strict curling and you can wear a hat on the platform so I am going to be big pimping in my tank top hat gold chain cargo pants and skate shoes. It is a full meet though with squats and deadlifts and bench press so it may not go as quick no idea if curls will be first or last. It’s also a less aggressive bar they use the Rogue EZ curl bar so that’s why I have been using it as well. They use the black bar. The open record for NC at 220 is 171lbs. They do a lot of NC meets it seems it’s bigger here than elsewhere.

You have no clue what a working set is asshole and most people I know don`t count their warmup sets either......what a concept! 

When was the last time you did Skullcrushers,French Presses,Squats (legit depth for reps without a mis-count),Hack Squats,Leg Press, any type of pressing exercise for shoulders,any type of rowing exercise that didn`t involve using a cable,Deadlifts,heavy Shrugs,etc. etc.

I`ll wait! 

I did shrugs and military barbell shoulder presses  last week

Better bars will feel better in your elbows and wrist doing skill crushers as well and this will help you get those extra bags of groceries you have been struggling with

How can you curl with your shoulder surgeries?

Guessing the shoulder surgeries were more bullshit lies.

How can I squat how can I walk how can I bench will power training structured rehab determination

[Hulkotron]

Did I read correctly that bhanks is doing a meet where you have to squat/bench/deadlift?

If so that is great, we will finally get an answer to the 315 deadlift question.

Front squat:
4 x 6 @ 80%, decrease rest as sets go on.  Start with 2:00, reduce by :30 each set.  (so 2:00 between set 1, 1:30 between set 2, 1:00 between set 3)  That got real..

4 x 50' dumbell front rack walking lunge (2 db, one each hand, one db head resting on shoulder, other one in front of shoulder).  Starting at 50# ea., build through sets

For time (cap of 10 mins):
27-21-15-9
Cal row
30# wall balls to 10' target.
I BARELY made the cap...9:58.  Fuck that 30# ball

15 mins bike at 70% max HR....NASAL breathing only.  Try it, its not as easy as you think.

[Soul Crusher]

Ate a cobbler pie

Vaped

Ordered a new skateboard


I'm freaking wiped out.   Anyone know anything I  can take or order for recovery?

Nice, I don't think I could do the breathing and the drop front squats sound brutal.

Started a new program - had to do the wall ball shit.  It was 8 sets E2MOM: 15 sec wall ball max reps, 30 sec static hold at bottom of squat.

Also had to set 2 RM on deadlift, then do max reps at 80%.

Pretty tough.
