Ya it sucks. Takes forever to build strength and muscle, it sure goes fast when you stop.

This is what he sent me Verlon. I need to get this torture device:thumb: That will do the trick bud. You can just use the lacrosse balls as well.

This one is the voodoo floss. Good stuff too. You can use it on about any joint. Maybe not the neck:hug:

Nice Nick:thumb: Someday I hope to get back to Oly lifting... I found that power and oly don't go very well together. I'm putting 6-7 days a week into moving my squat bench deadlifts, just doesn't leave anytime for Oly stuff.
My whole goal for getting stronger is to help improve my golf swing balance, speed and power. I find Oly Lifting a good tool for that

I will do some video watching.
On a different note, I don't seem to be able to follow what everyone is typing when they list their weight, reps, and sets. I see 225x5x10 as 10 set of 5 at 225. Am I following correctly?

We need some weight lifting thread badges by our avatars lol,
315 x 10 x 4
That's how I would type 315 pounds for 10 reps for 4 sets.

That makes more sense to me, but it seems like most state the number of sets before the number of reps. Sorta strange.
I didn't really think about it like that, thanks. I was lifting a good bit more before that's why I'm kinda depressed about it.
I always put my sets first then my reps... Not sure if it's the correct way or not but it makes since to my pee brain and ultimately I'm the one who needed to know:rofl:
Deficit Deads about a 1.75-2" deficit
315x3setsx10reps
355x2sx8r
375x2sx6r
Back has finally felt good enough I could try the deficit deads. I have just been doing regular the last 3.5 weeks. they were hard as heck but I got them:thumb: Also sent my coach some video on my lifts and he wanted me to sit back into the bar more on my deads. Super hard to modify your technique and start deficits 3 weeks into your programing but hey I'm dumb like that:rofl:
Paused bench
225x3sx10r
260x2sx7r
225x6 feet up close grip paused
Leg press
lots of reps with moderate weight.
Cable flys
95x12
110x10
125x10
140x3x10
15 minutes of hiit. Sweat pouring off me. Stretching and foam rolling.
2.5 hours of torture
315x3setsx10reps
355x2sx8r
375x2sx6r

I'm using my reebok nano 3's. Nice flat semi hard sole:thumb: Currently looking at some Nike Inflict wrestling shoeshttps://www.wrestlingmart.com/shoes/nike-inflict-3 or a pair of Nike HyperKO boxing shoeshttp://www.athleteps.com/nike-hyperko-volt-sequoia/
I like loud ass shoes
It distracts people from my mediocre lifting:rofl:
Been using the Nike free shoes I bought from my brother, very soft and thin shoe. Almost like being barefoot, I like em.
