Just hit back to back PRs on front squat. 5@205 and 2@225. The transgingerfication is working already.

I used the horrible protein powder to make some protein pancakes. They were edible.
Low bar squatting is still fucking up my arm, no matter how I hold the bar. Going back to high bar; but working pause squats. Hopefully that will help correct whatever I'm doing to fuck up my back. |

I downloaded a calorie counter app. I knew a ball part estimate of how many I ate in a day but I plugged it in and I ate 5,000 calories yesterday.
 
I'm actually feeling pretty good, bulk is going pretty good so far. I don't feel fat, I do feel bigger though. |

Front squat is the suck. I seriously can not get the right form no matter what I try. I either lean too far back and the bar chokes me out or I lean too far forward and the bar wants to roll off my shoulders. Any good videos for from squat someone can recommend?

I might have to start doing some sort of cardio. Maybe jump rope. I need to find something to do while staying on the property. |

There should be a little pocket the bar sits in. Keep elbows up high. |

Alan thrall has a video where you use straps to help keep your elbows up on front squat. It helped but I still have trouble. When I first started doing front squats my upper back was weak and thoracic spine was really stiff. If you don't have any thoracic movement you will have a lot of trouble getting your shoulders up and elbows high. I don't think foam rollers work, but if you load up a bar really heavy on the rack and use it to force your elbows up and shoulders under the bar, you'll get better incrementally. It felt like 135 was going to crush me when I started, mostly due to collapsing in the upper back and inability to keep elbows high. Mobility fixed it, I front squatted 325 two months ago. I also widened my grip slightly and that helped. I started without being able to touch the bar with my fingers in the rack position and now I can keep a full grip on a good day. |

Lol.
The new job is dragging a little so I'm still working the old one, headed out of town next week to Kankakee Illinois, about 50 miles south of Chicago. The current field guy said there was 5 shootings the first 7 days he was there and they are fishing people out of the river. I'm even a little nervous about finding a gym in the area for two weeks. Give me the wilds of remote Nevada any day. ETA- I just looked at the demographics and crime stats on Kankakee Il. 41% black and 6th most violent city in Illinois. Cover me boys, I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb. |

I got my 40# weight vest in today from amazon. My body armor from ar500 is off in no man's land somewhere, as someone here warned me it would be.
On a related note, I know that being even heavier for Murph on monday is going to destroy my shin muscles (anterior tibialis?). The heavier I have gotten (now 263), that muscle has started to tighten quickly when jogging and almost gets to the point of a cramp. It's not a cramp, but just really tight and screaming at me to sit down. I ran a mille on Saturday using a stride which probably used my toes a little much. About 7:45. And my shin muscles were rock hard. It took about 20 to 30 minutes before they started to feel normal again. I'm pretty sure it's not shin splints. I've read about compartmental syndrome. But I'm thinking this is just due to being a lanky guy with a lot of added mass (except on my calves - so no fat guy legs or anything like that that are used to running with this weight). Or do I have compartmental syndrome? I read on the internet somewhere to try and run more on my heels, or flat footed, to take pressure off my toes. Any thoughts? |

I think that was me that warned you about AR500. They took about 9 months to ship mine, and a lot of emails and phone calls. Try massaging the bottom of your foot with a baseball or golf ball. That tendon along the shin connects at the bottom of the foot so that's a good way to work it loose. And 7:45 is pretty fast for a 260+ pounder, nice job. |

The heavier I have gotten (now 263), that muscle has started to tighten quickly when jogging and almost gets to the point of a cramp. It's not a cramp, but just really tight and screaming at me to sit down. I ran a mille on Saturday using a stride which probably used my toes a little much. About 7:45. And my shin muscles were rock hard. It took about 20 to 30 minutes before they started to feel normal again. I'm pretty sure it's not shin splints. I've read about compartmental syndrome. But I'm thinking this is just due to being a lanky guy with a lot of added mass (except on my calves - so no fat guy legs or anything like that that are used to running with this weight). Or do I have compartmental syndrome? I read on the internet somewhere to try and run more on my heels, or flat footed, to take pressure off my toes. Any thoughts? Shorten your stride and increase your cadence, that really helped my running. I don't know about any of that medical stuff. Oh and stop being so fat. My friends already rag on me for having such a short stride for being 6'5. I'm not sure it could be any shorter. Sounds like you're screwed. |

I attempted to max squats a couple days ago. First time attempting to max in a really long time (since improving my form and depth).
Anyway, rocked 315 and 365 but failed miserably on a 395 attempt. Previously I had done 385 but with bad form. I probably won't try to max again for a while, but will work in some heavier sets. |

Mango something or another, the selection in small-town Utah is worse than you'd think- and you'd think it's pretty bad. I don't drink messican beer on bigotry principles and won't drink bud light on snooty standards, so that leaves bringing beer home when I travel. I'm back down to 213lbs though. Haven't lifted in over a week now. |

Random question about powerlifting from someone that's never powerlifted: why is the bench press paused while the squat is not?

Yeah, I don't feel comfortable around there during the day and would just plan on not being near there at night. Memphis is like 25% shithole that bleeds into the rest of the town. It has a ton of good things going for it but that small criminal element ruins it for the rest of us a lot of times. |

Extension hinge past 45 deg with no weight and there's a bit of pain. Try to load it when 90% like a push-up or bottom of a burpee, and it's a no go. I've been doing wrist mobility since Feb. The pain seems to come and go without cause or reason. The last dentist appointment was $950... This is the fourth appointment in this year... I'm being told she has three more like this... That stupid thought of, "Is she fucking the detist?", crossed my mind. But if she was, I'd hope I'd be getting a much better deal on her dental work. Maybe I'd get a little discount or something. |

Yesterday while painting, I was rolling around the idea in my head of another "vote trade" thread. The idea in this would be trading Trump votes for writing in Spooner. I just got busy in the afternoon and never got around to making the thread in GD. Also, it was probably funnier when I was on beer 3 than it would be in real life. |

Get fatter? How close is that to your DL 1rm? I think I saw a little twinge of your hips moving before your shoulders, especially on the first rep(which causes just a hair of rounding maybe? could just be the angle or the guy who thought he was funny by interfering with the shot). But seriously, it looked good. You handled the reps really well. How did it feel? |
