I’ve pretty much came to the point to where I don’t really care about back squatting. I can pretty much always back squat 40-60 pounds more than I front squat because I squat high bar narrow stance just like I would front squat. No need for it anymore, plus I don’t like the toll my knees and low back take from it. Maybe one day I’ll care again, but not today.

Did a bunch of airdyne sprints and about 20 minutes of steady stuff. I have a nasty strain/knot in my right trap from the vest and farmers walk yesterday. Might need to see a masseuse

9/11 upper hypertrophy
Love/hate relationship with this training day. It’s a bit monotonous, but it leaves my shoulders and elbows feeling great compared to most other pressing, and I think it’ll allow me to fully recover before overhead work Thursday. Will probably try it for a few weeks

Happy belated man!
WTF, I do 1 mile with just the weighted vest and my traps are lit up. This would just be ridiculous.
Also, congrats on the 240lb log. I might just have to bust mine out tonight and see where I’m at.

Noooooooooo then my jealousy will just continue to fester and grow
Lol, I don’t know man. I think our push press/log press aren’t too far off, it’s the strict press that I’m slightly above average at. 
Your strict press is more than my best log 
I guess if you look at it that way…

And 25 lbs bodyweight 
So you’re actually stronger than me pound for pound!
Which is a totally worthless measurement, especially with how lean you are. I’m envious
You’re a tough person to compliment lol

Sandbag over bar

Picked up a lighter sandbag to do some throws, felt like a tape measure rolled up inside my neck. Was one of those confusing, dizzying, wandering pains rather than the ones you cuss at. Mild numbness in my pinky and ring finger on the right side. Some localized (around the upper trapezius) tingling, numbness, and pain. Hmmmmmmmm
I love the bro-ness of genuine lifting compliments haha and lurking in here watching two strong ass gentle-bros give each other compliments is the epitome of what this site should be, credit where credit is due, and call outs when needed.
