Manveer Gets Competitive

[Eric K]

Sorry. Forum weirdness. Great work regardless.

Based on that video evidence alone I doubt you'd get any whites in USAPL...vids can of course be deceiving but that's my two pennys.

Only one Beer?

Shame on you.

I apologize if you've already answered this a million times; I've not been keeping up with logs until recently... which heart rate monitor do you use for TRAC? Or do you use one at all? I have a fitbit w/a HR monitor, but IDK if wrist monitors are sufficient. I've been considering buying the monthly subscription and using it for informational purposes. How are you liking it?

Thanks!

Second and third reps were a little deeper. Black shirt makes it harder to tell, but yeah, needs to be a bit deeper.

You don't need a HR monitor for TRAC. Also, TRAC is free now.

I was actually just thinking about asking about your meet schedule last night while scrolling through IG and my wife asked me if I had signed up for any meets.

Might not do it. In laws might be in town that weekend.

That's good to know! Thanks

That's good to know! Thanks

No problem. FYI, Mike T doesn't even do the heart rate test that's currently in TRAC. I don't do it either.

Wanted to deadlift yesterday, but there were some travel delays coming back from the west coast and I didn't get home until 9:30p. Went pretty well today. Left glute hurts a little. I'm tempted to do the good mornings I have programmed this week, but I have to remember that it's not worth aggravating this injury for supplemental work.

Congrats on showing some hard earned progress on the dead

Thanks, Bryan. Having 3 full rest days after squatting obviously helped my readiness, though I was traveling and not really getting the best recovery on those days. I'll take a deadlift PR any day, though. They are rare these days.

Slept pretty hard the last couple of nights. Was exhausted after my trip. Feeling good today.

Significant improvement over last time. Time to increase the weight. Lats are smoked.

Great deadlifting!
