Smolov Jr. for Bench

[John Hanley]

Which rant? Link? I read some of EnP stuff, but don't keep track very well.

I think it's gone.

But wtf? Grumpier? Fuck off.

I think we're cycling together.

Can you reign in the grumps for long enough to give me a brief summary of what you're talking about then?

Will trade you a hug in the form of pair of lisp parentheses.

what you're talking about then?

You mean hurting myself with smolov? Or my rant?

If the former: I managed to hurt my rotator cuff doing a modified smolov.

If the latter: I thought The Banned was flippant and somewhat cruel with Rippetoe. I was in White Knight mode.

That sucks, sorry to hear dude. Benching is my least favorite exercise to be honest and I would quit doing it altogether if I could rationalize it.

I assume this was in regards to the PTSD thread? I have to say I think Rip has probably gotten crankier over the years as he's basically willingly exposed himself to a ton interactions with people on the internet.

Going to start it Monday. Anyone have any success or horror stories they want to share regarding the program?

5'8", 202 lbs, 44 y.o., 2 years training, orangutan arms, 295 TnG 1RM on 7/19(so very recent 1RM)

I did it a year ago. Worked real well. Just got some proximal biceps tendonitis at the end of it.
