Fatty's fat log

[artvandalay]

Ya, I think it helps build up the confidence of handling weights heavier than accustomed to and reinforces tucked elbows at the bottom. If you're weak off the bottom it probably won't help much but I think it does a good job of overloading the top 2/3 of the movement.

Good to know, thanks.

potato quality potato good morning potato angle

pistols 20/leg
lunges for a while. 2 songs ish

stuff: Unplanned pr.Been using the 55 pound thick bar the last little bit. Switched back today and everything felt light so I went with it. 505 was a bit of a good morning. Everything before was crisp and felt good. 465-485'ish felt like the sweet spot for working weight.

Baldy. With the name of your log, I thought you would look something like this:

You should consider renaming your log. Anyway, that was a great squat. I want my squat to be as strong as yours some day.

Ha, I like to set the bar low expectations. I'm not all that fat.

Thanks man. Put in the time, it'll come.

I'm also surprised you're neither fat nor goat-like.

bench
185 paused 6,7,4,7 tng10
pullups 8,8,8,7,7

stuff: really stiff in the hip today. long warmup, never quite got there. hip airplanes, reverse lunges. wider grip with thumbs on knurling lat pulldown style. Screw feat into the ground cue - night and day difference. First rep rock solid, tough time regrouping foot cue for second rep. Last 2 sets were ugly.

back off at 185 for a bunch sans slanger.

rc flies/bi's.
stuff: everything felt good today. deadlift felt strong and stable in the hips. 335 on slingshot was a grind and a half. The difference of how little it helped out of the hole at 335 vs 315 surprised me.
