Trying some new twists on rep schemes and rest periods. I tried to really stretch the bottom of the flies. I guess it’s dynamic stretching.

Paul, I’m most likely not attending this meet. Just not feeling it.

Stone lifts: 150 lb atlas stone and 225 lb natural stone x a bunch
5 sets neutral grip chins
Had a great time with the stones tonight. I shouldered the atlas stone on both sides a bunch of times. I pulled the natural stone from different angles and positions. The stones really work the grip.

17’’ box front squat with chains barx10 135x5 185x5 225x5 275x5 315x3 225x10 135x5
The front squat to a 17’’ box with chains really help make squatting pain free for me. Im guessing the chains added 25-35 lbs at the top.

I’m a big fan of Zerchers.
325 is some serious weight to keep close.
I use my fat bar. Before that I would wrap a thick towel.

Paul, first thing I’d do as president would be to the install a powerlifting gym in the Whitehouse.
Clee78, I’ve been pulling knee sleeve on my arms. Makes zerchers very comfortable. I’m hoping to get some carryover to my other lifts.

I wrapped the band around my back for added resistance with the push ups. The natural stone and atlas stone were fun to play with.

I’ve been dieting for a week now. So I was happy with this workout. I didn’t feel sluggish at all. Do you think my stomach look smaller yet?

I haven’t lifted for almost 3 weeks. I got sick and missed a week of work. I dropped 10 pounds. I wasn’t supposed to lift until this coming Monday but I’m feeling much better. So I started back today.

I Thanks all. Feeling like my old self again. And I needed to lose 10 lbs. I need to lose 30 more.
I was going to front squat but my oldest asked to MP with the axle so that’s what we did. I know it’s not exactly the same but I used the Swiss bar like a log for clean and press.
