    Cool, thanks!

    Yeah, I like to be in a hurry, but I really have zero need to be.

    Yeah, Dillon's right.

    And there's no doubt that I'm a habitual overreacher. I'm paying for it with various tendonopathies right now as I type this. Come February, after this meet that's approaching, I plan to scale back and make more moderate gains for awhile, and let these bones recover.

    No rush!

    Chinese buffet at 6. Gym at 7:30. Don't recommend it. Blah.

    4 Day TM
    Week 1 Day 3
    Time 7:30 pm
    Length-37 minutes. Could have been done in 25.
    Volume-6485

    Intensity squat
    245x5 heavy on the back but easy reps. Haven't squatted heavy in a few weeks. So much room for progress.

    Intensity Deadlift
    275x5
    These just felt awkward. Like my arms aren't long enough to reach the bar and set my back?? First time pulling in shoes. Need some work.

    Deadlifts look strong. The bar isn't touching your shorts, though ... evidence that it's not in contact with your leg throughout the rep? Probably part of the awkwardness is that.

    Squats look strong, too; depth is hard to judge at that angle, but the movement looks reasonably smooth and well-greased.

    Geoff,
    Sorry to hear about the tendonosis. I definitely recommend the Chinup protocol for anything elbow related.

    I see that on the deadlifts. I'm about a quarter inch away from my legs. Not sure how that happened. Good catch.

    So my back position is ok? I see everyone else so much lower and flatter.

    Working a 16 hour shift today so getting up at 3 sounded like suicide. I should be able to lift Friday and Saturday to get my lifts in.

    No doubt man, 16 hours is wild.

    Weird thing, tendonopathies have been silent for over a day now. Like basically out of the blue. Did God grant me a miraculous healing? I am far from deserving, but right now it seems that's what happened.

    Currently halfway through my shift. Fun stuff.

    Awesome! You did chins yesterday, right? My elbow felt awesome for a day or so after chins then it slowly crept back. Healed eventually with them though.

    So I worked 17 hours. Been up since 4:30. But I slammed 2 whoppers and a chocolate shake so I said screw it.

    4 Day TM Week 1 Day 4

    Intensity Bench/Volume Press
    Time- 12:30am
    Length-45 minutes
    Volume-7638

    Intensity bench
    135x5-5th rep was a grinder. Good news is I kept my wrist from bending. I think fatigue played a big part in the grind. Felt like a 3rd set, not a first.

    Volume Press
    5x5x82.5-Pretty happy with these. Utilizing the stretch reflex by breathing at the top, then coming down and back up immediately for another rep. Or just holding my breath for 2 reps.
    Right shoulder still pops during these but no pain really. Just going to attribute it to my old injury.

    Gravitron dips
    12x112 assistance
    5x52
    12x112
