First God bless whomever is telling people to use the lying ham curl machine to squeeze into ms do glute bridges in
BRO BLESS
Mobility banded leg work thoracic stuff
A bunch of banded face pulls
A1 seated oh press bar x 234466789
65x10 95 2x5 115x5 135x 5 bleh
A2 pull downs 5x10
B CSR 3pts 4/10
C1 HS row 5x10
C2 HS pull down 5x10
D deb clean and press 30 4x10
E meadows 8 way 4 x10 tiny weights
Notes
I need to do way more work on shoulder before pressing got ugly quick
I have poor shoulder mobility and it needs work
I can’t OH press or OH squat well anymore
HS machines suck balls if you have long arms
the handle on the row machine are on backwards
Where you grab is at maybe 8 o’clock facing down
I know that as of a few years ago Craig Liebenson and a bunch of the PT’s in Australia were huge on the bridge(think BJJ style and keep neck and shoulder blades on the ground not any of that onto the forehead sorcery you used to do) to “marching bridge”(just stick out one foot/do unilateral leg extensions), to swiss ball hamstring curl progression. That and unstable surface training were supposed to be the heat for rehab.
Ashamed to say I don’t know if it is still considered the current best practices/hotness.
I might have some of the old material/handouts saved on a hard drive somewhere if you are interested.
Did anything happen since I got your last e-mail? I saw a post by Idaho that has me worried there was a set back.

I am slowly admitting I shouldn’t train with a barbell too much
ha
that kind of sucked to type.
I am going to come up with some stuff to do at the gym
that will keep me interested - and mostly pain free.
the TRX stuff felt good
eliptical while there was some effort its tricky
I feel so bad for you. I wish there was something I could say. I can’t imagine giving up the barbell:(
Eventually you will work through this and be able to focus on the “cans.”
thanks Ksnap
the cans are pretty big.
Nothing wrong with big cans!
Get healed up. Stay interested and get back at it.
Nice squats and tabata Kev. I had to look up bss. Bulgarian split squats. I hate those. Probably because I suck at them. Usually only takes 2-3 lines of stuff to get me feeling dead.

E-mail was received and responded to.
In addition to “Can” vs “Cannot” I think including “should” and “should not” need to be done as well. This is both with regards to injury/ortho profile and, perhaps even more importantly limitations of training time and effort.
I am still quoting/forwarding your unified theory of combat training because it handles that so well. So there may be something to figuring out what you can do, that will also get you where you want to be. Training that is fun is good. Training that spurs a net improvement are also good. Getting both is best. If it isn’t fun and doesn’t net improvement than no matter how “safe” or “doable” it is to hell with it. Make sense?
I am literally drinking scotch and eating Swedish Fish while I post so this may be a bit off. I know, I know. Not bourbon. I am trying to be all classy and drinking/eating imported.

Bro BLESS big cans
yes I just have to let go - and get smart
thanks DB.
thanks- I like them they need work
Robert_A
I have not figured out the quote features here yet.
and I will send a proper reply to that email - thank you.
should and shouldnt’ are probably better words to add to the lexicon.
scotch and swedish fish FTW.
that theory came up at work - there is a woman I work with who takes BJJ
and there are some very accomplished lifters on the same job.
lots of head scratching and nodding afterwords.
for those reading along at home- I have always preached for MMA BJJ wrestling etc
skill work
conditioning
strength work
in that order- and bust your ass at all three til one impacts the other.
kind of simple- but really all the true tennants training should be.
to bad life is always more complicated.
scotch and swedish fish.
I am impressed.
training-
a good easy and fun day.
bb complex day
6 row x 6 RDL X 1 clean & press x 6 squat x 6 reverse lunge each
70 2x 100 3x 120 3x
notes
doesn’t look like allot but it was.
bar is 50lbs thus the goof ball numbers.
I would have liked to add cleans, and OH squats to this but im having issues in the shoulder region
thanks for looking
I have typed and cited that treaty so many times. Did it as recently as this thread:
The OP there seemed to like the paradigm as well.
Regards,
Robert A

Robert-
I thought I replied to this earlier…
thanks for finding sense in my little ramblings.
Yesterday there was a MIRACLE at the gym
A FUCKING MIRACLE
they moved the scale in the locker room that has been literally 6 inches away from a urinal a few feet next to a sink.
now I was thrilled I would’t have to put my hand on where Bro’s
unwashed hands have spread their cock DNA
today they moved it back.
WTF
next they wont let women wear tights
where is the Humanity?
2.2.16 some training
pvc at home banded shit at the gym
like allot of it.
TRX elevated push up x row 5x10 each
A dead lift 135x8 225 2x5 315 x5 405 2x2 ham cant do more.
B dimmel dead 215 2x15 135 2x20
C CSR - 3pts 3x8 abandoned
D low pulley row 5x10
E medley of face pull x standing abs x pull thrus 3x20
25 minutes on elliptical
notes
I should have done a set of dimels or some direct ham work before pulls
plastic ham doesnt really fire well - speed is missing entirely as that same fake leg - cant really be explosive.
CSR abandoned 4pts - somehow loading plates I hit my bro-bag
eliptical- meh trying to find ‘cardio’ that does’t blow up the fake leg
