This is seriously my favorite thing at Planet Fitness.
You can do pullups and knee to elbows on it. And best of all it's not a treadmill or stationary bike. I'm digging my Ohio bone yard bar. The only thing I don't like about it is the knerling. It's much more extreme than I am used to. But I'll probably get used to it. Would recommend for the price it was a good deal. |

Did 220x5x5 squats with more of a focus on form. No pad.
Felt great. I still need to stretch my hams mo betta, but just having never "set" for the rep before was an eye opener. |

Hank. I need a new iwb holster for my g19.
Take my money. --- Doing some triathlon Saturday. Looking at the past results?... I think I can win my age group... If I can string together things appropriately. If only they had a fatty division (Clydesdale =220lbs+)... I'd crush that division. Then it's full bore for the Indy Mary . As long as my foot doesn't be a bitch again. Coach is dropping back and doing a 100k tomorrow. Wasn't prepped for the 100miler. The rest of the crew is in Colorado for the 106 west triathlon... |

My neck has been stiff and sore most of the week. Swam last night and now my shoulder blade also hurts. Turning my head in particular lights up the shoulder, so obviously they're related.
Guess I'll take a rest day

Doing 100 squats isn't going to make you stronger, but it'll increase your conditioning. I get that Rip doesn't like CF anymore due to his falling out with them, but seriously... |

Not sure of how much I miss them just yet. Been hitting the generic grocery store Pure Protein powder hard at about 100 grams per shake. Tomorrow morning, strapping on the plate carrier for a military charity workout. I think he wrote that under the premise that people on his site/reading his articles are training for strength. Unless he is just way to stubborn to realize people have different goals. The way I read it is that training strictly with the purpose to get really sore is stupid. Especially since if you are really sore for a few days afterwards it is likely to negatively affect training that occurs in that time frame, regardless of goals. Being too sore can also negatively affect recovery, I know I sleep for shit when I am really sore. It comes down to training smart for your goals. If you are doing more work just to do more work without a specific focus, you are probably being counterproductive to your goals. So adding in 100 air squats at the end of a SL5x5 day just because you don't feel like you did enough work would be counter productive, but doing 100 air squats after a big squat day to 1)move blood around or 2) push your cardiovascular endurance or 3) some other specific training goal, could be beneficial. That is what I got from the article anyway. But my reading comprehension may be low today, I feel like crap. I am a bit under-recovered and my wife or daughter brought home some disease. I made the sand bags for farmers walks. I used 50 lb bags of sand. So I duct taped two bags together x2, cut 1" PVC pipe to length for the handles and tied them on with 550 cord. The 550 cord is stretching too much, so I'll have to re-do that. But it is a lot of fun. My wife got all excited about it and had me make her one, so she has a 50lb bag now. She's used her's more than I've used mine so far. lol. Trying to figure out how to effectively incorporate them into my training. Any thoughts on what day(s) would be best to incorporate them? Basically my schedule is T: Squat, Th: Bench, Sat: Deads, Sun: Shoulders/Accesories. MWF are recovery days, so I will do some light work to get blood moving. Any reason for stopping BCAAs? |

Dumbest metric ever. |

Speaking of sore-
That 100 squats in 15 minutes I did on Tuesday still has me very sore. I'm meeting with my powerlifter friend tomorrow morning for help on the deadlift so I went to the gym this morning to help knock some rust off and feel a little better. Sorta worked, I'm moving better now. The best news was I did bench presses, overhead presses, triceps and even some (really light) curls today. Wrist was feeling really good now that I've been back on the peptides for just over a week. Knee feels good again too. I did 8x5 at 95lbs for the ohp and 4x5 at 105 for the bench press, after 5 months I figured that would still make me pretty sore, I couldn't go any heavier without hurting the wrist, but that's a great start. Tried to get into a front rack position, not even close. |

No reason for stopping BCAAs other than ran out of them.

I didn't like that so much, too much grip work in the same day. We're neighbors so we can just do them when the kids are outside playing any day anyway. We are also planning on using them in different ways, sometimes on the shoulders, sometimes lunges like you said, etc. I use a lot of products from bulk supplements, including their BCAAs. All the labdoor reviews from them are awesome. Been using their stuff since summer started or earlier. Cheap, no fillers. Their BCAAs have a soapy flavor that gets magnified when you shake it too much. You get used to it, it is a good value though. I make my own workout drink blend with 6 or 7 ingredients from them. So if you are looking at reintroducing them, amazon prime for the win. |

But it is a lot of fun. My wife got all excited about it and had me make her one, so she has a 50lb bag now. She's used her's more than I've used mine so far. lol. Trying to figure out how to effectively incorporate them into my training. Any thoughts on what day(s) would be best to incorporate them? Basically my schedule is T: Squat, Th: Bench, Sat: Deads, Sun: Shoulders/Accesories. MWF are recovery days, so I will do some light work to get blood moving. Any reason for stopping BCAAs? I usually do farmer's carry type stuff on recovery days. Another thing you can do if you're making sandbags is just make a sandbag, like 100# and do lunges with it. That is awful. No reason for stopping BCAAs other than ran out of them. Sand bag get-ups also really suck. Lie on your back with the bag on your chest/shoulders, get up. Repeat. Go fast. Get pooped. Will that get me yoked? I want yoke. I hadn't thought of those actually. Might give them a swing with my wife's bag first. Seems like those would suck.

First week in October. It sure is in SoCal lol. It'll get into the high 20s at night sometimes, but still gets into the 50s during the day during the coldest part of winter ...which is why the outdoor gym isn't a big deal.
ETA- I paid the $10 or whatever for Tinder premium so I can passport my account anywhere in the world. Currently laying groundwork for my long layover in Zurich and then St Petersburg

So I've got a local gym that;s closing. I'm going tomorrow to see whats left for sale.
Planning on grabbing some 45 plates and maybe some dumbells. 50 cents per pound fair? What's a bar worth? Seems to be decent equiptment. Machines are Cybex and cardio is Precor |

Seems to be decent equiptment. Machines are Cybex and cardio is Precor I honestly wouldn't give $20 for the bars I see at gyms. Most are really beat up and crappy stuff to start with. I met with my powerlifter buddy today. He gave me, my two boys and my wife a lesson in how he'd like us to deadlift. The wife doesn't have long arms so she's still doing conventional deads, but since the boys have my ape-length arms he got all excited and wants us to do sumo deadlifts. I told him I had a goal of a 500lb deadlift by the end of the year and he thinks it pretty possible, here's the training plan. This is for 6 weeks, then we will alter from the straight leg to a conventional deficit deadlift, then change again to the sumo 6 weeks before the end of the year and over that last 6 weeks work up to a 500lb pull. Warm-up using no more than 225lb doing Sumo style. This will get me used to it, but I'm specifically not to be pulling heavy yet. I'm to be working on form and getting the muscles used to doing it a new style. Seems reasonable. Main workout- 7" straight leg deficit deadlifts/good morning deadlifts, 10 @ 135 10 @ 165 10 @ 180 10 @ 180 Accessories- Lat pulls 3x8 @ whatever I can finish, I'll experiment with it Landmine rows 3x8 @ whatever machine rows 3x8 @ whatever I do this once a week, still doing my farmers carries and some shrugs, maybe some other things once a week and my more or less Texas Method for squats. |

What's your all-time snatch PR? Do you think you'll be able to top it with the training you're doing? That was it, a 2#/1kg PR. Yes, I will PR clean and jerk as well. I'm actually not quite as strong technically due to my knee, but it doesn't really matter. I can still squat 375-390 or so, and until I can clean that much it just doesn't matter. My lock out is getting stronger though. Now if I could stop the pain in my elbows and fix my jerk technique I'd be set. |
