I did them after rows on M-F. It was a lot of work espcially when doing them from the hang as MC2 suggested. I subbed RDL's for deads on Wed, though.

A slew of PR's lately. Nice work PB.

I don't know about peanuts but I heard Guinness is a fun guy :sulk:

Also, nice to see someone using Starr's 5 x 5 while losing weight. Good Luck with it.

Nice close gripping. In my earlier, stupider days I did the hands touching thing and not only did it bug the hell out of my wrists, my weights were severly limited. Now my middle finger is where the knurling starts on my bar.

Looks like WoW claims another one ;)

Yeah I'm considering a full week off just to get better. Cold took a turn for the worse with body aches and the whole bit, although today is better. Sorry for all the whining lately, btw :rolleyes: Is trigger point therapy anything like myofascial release? I have a foam roller I can use.

Thanks Shadow, appreciate the encouragment. I feel a little better today. Tweakle: I saw a chrio a few months ago and it seemed to help but I wasn't fond of the 'visit everyday for 10 weeks' program he laid out for me. Anyway, the pain I'm feeling is one of extreme tightness in my glute/hip...

Week 1 Day 3 Just typing that makes me shake my head. Week 1... Fighting off a bit of a cold today and feeling run down. I hope that's a big contributer because I felt weak as shit today. Drop under bar drills bar x 5 x 5 Squat Bar x 10 60 x 2 x 5 80 x 1 90 x 6 100 x 6 110 x 6 120 x 6 Hip...

Good to see you back G5.0. You seem to be handling life's little curveballs very well /Dr. Phil 4 plates on your first 'take it easy' workout in weeks? That's no joke lemme tell ya. Haha! I know that feeling.

Sorry about the injury. Hope it's not serious. On a positive note, really nice front squatting. You must feel confident with the rack :Chef:

Rows keep going up, nice. How did 195 squatting feel? I still get anxious getting under the bar, I don't know what it is about that damn lift :evil:

Yipes. Sorry to hear that Shadow. We had to put the dog in my avi down about 4-5 months ago and it was one of the toughest things I've had to go through. I still get emotional thinking about her. I too worked out that day with red and puffy eyes. Big Hersh R.I.P. :tuc:

Just saw your new avi. Clearly, you need to bring up your traps...try smitty shrugs with a 3 second hold up top will bring in the trap/delt tie-in. Maybe save it for another journal since this cycle is primarily pecs and bi's.

OK guys I'll switch to Youtube and see if that works better :) Thanks for the positive comments – I have to admit to having some anxiety about this week and just starting all over in a few days. The 2/3 week load also crossed my mind. Hell I was thinking of 1 week loading. But we’ll see...
