Crap wife reminded me we have plans this afternoon . Have to move lifting to Thursday.
Ted Arcedi lives in my area. He owns a local business selling workout equipment. I bought some used 45âs off him a few years ago. Nice guy.
Not going to lie . Im jealous even at my age I might find myself geeked out if I meet him.
Bench: 340 x 9 âŠehh started to feel sloppy so I said enough
Buffalo Bar Bench: 3 x 5 @ 260 ( all reps paused)
Swiss bar inverted rows: total of 50 reps
Incline DB press: 3 x 10 -15 @ SW
Lying rolling DB extensions: 3 x allot @ SW
Band pulls to throat: 3 x 20
Wasnt sure how this session was going to turn out⊠considering how things had went the past three session along with how I felt today, I had only planned on doing the bare minimum of reps. Well ego kicked in and made myself a liar
Whatâs the buffalo bar like to bench with?
Like the old camber bar for more ROM?
It not that bad to use Itâs not as extreme as the old school cambered bars. But yes Iâm using it to increase the ROM and working the lower end of the movement
Nice !!
Iâve had my eye on one of those for sometime.
How does it sit in the rack J hooks for squats and BP?
Do you need to adjust it ever time ? Does the corner of the bar get ground up where it sits?
Well when i first got it I didnât have allot of issues with it fitting some what secure in my j hooks. But I had a fabrication guy modify my j hooks for something( for the record I donât have a bench with up rites so I rely on my power rack.) after I did that things got slightly wonky but not too bad. I will say even before that the bar would like to slide slightly when unloading 45 plates due to how it sits in the hooks . Havenât notice allot of grinding on the knurling as of yet.
Trap Bar Deads: ( for the record LOW handle since my bar doesnât have high handle option)

Hip prehab stuff
Was actually still feeling fatigued in the lower body from Trap bar deads on Saturday.
Do you have any real good stuff for the hip?
If your talking pre or rehab stuff . Not really since I view that stuff above my pay grade. At least in regards to advising other regarding that sort of thing especially if someone might be dealing with a issue.
I myself will hit up a physical therapist I know when stuff arises on my own end.
Keeping your cards close to your vest. I can respect that.
Lol⊠its nothing like that. I just feel im not qualified enough to advice people on specific rehab stuff . Prehab the only wisdom I have is identify the root cause and address it before things go down hill. Be it mobility issue⊠muscle imbalance and so forth. I honestly dont have any Ace up my sleeveâŠ
Youâve got good experience you can share.
in this case in only dealing with myself⊠Happy cake day
