A vera nahce log, by Niki Sims

[Sean Herbison]

Supplemental lifts, like Pendlay rows from Monday, will go up to 9's.

How do you even measure RPE for rows? I never have any idea what RPE I'm at. Doesn't help that they're all for sets of 10.

Press: 1 twizzler

Accurate.

In for #teamfemur.

And the chins (#chinspo).

I will be following this log. Mainly for the humor

I hope to not disappoint.

I'm just excited about seeing some giraffe cleans on the reg

It's like watching a daddy long legs jump

If I start to chicken neck, it's a 9.

Yeah, really anything for 10 reps is a 9 sooner than you expect it to be.

Accurate.

But it was just two hot tamales when I first started. Much progress.

If we both did power cleans in the same room and someone filmed with shaky camerawork, it would basically be the first Cloverfield movie.

[Bryan Dobson]

It's good to see you are not afraid to work the deadlift hard. The first 2 reps if today's squat pr I was able to view looked legit to me. The hip crease was clearly below the patella from that angle. Usapl white

Or like praying mantis doing zumba.

Any fear I do have of deadlift volume is immediately replaced by an extreme desire to take a nap.

I think there may be some lumbar flexion here that may be happening because I'm trying to overextend it in the setup.

And maybe even just knowing you get to keep living?

There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift. - YouTube

Jesus, you weren't kidding about the femurs.

Have you tried getting new parents? I hear that helps.
