just picked up a gig where i went to high school to help out after school with a weight lifting program, kinda like a supervisor/mentor, but the best part is i get to work out while I'm there

Sweet, You getting paid for it? I guess they must have some nice equipment.

Something is better than nothing. At least you will have the chance to positively influence some kids and teach them a way to stay healthy.

Did back today and just as my luck as usual, i think i tweaked something, during my last rep of block pull, at the top of the rep, i felt a pop in my collar bone, super weird, never happened before, freaked me out, it's not broken or anything, i can move around fine, in fact it doesn't even hurt, but it is kinda sore when i move my neck. i think it might be because of the weight and my over under grip.

it's such a awkward spot i have no idea how to even put pressure on it. i might try it with my hera cane. i think im gonna take a day off lifting tomorrow and go for a hike instead.

The soreness always hits me 48 hrs. after I do legs.

me too, thats what i meant. Ended up being sore for three days.. i hadnt been getting sore in the last couple months on legs. I added more sets and reps to my squats and squatted even deeper.

No i don't think so, the pain is from my neck all the way down to my collar bone. it hurts when i try to flex my traps. just the right side too. i guess 585 rack pull was too much for my upper body, because my lower back and legs were feeling good.

I have a thera cane and one of those muscle roller stick, other than that i have a regular foam roller, a trigger point foam roller, couple of lacrosse balls, a "peanut", and a couple of bands.

Damn dude, your upper body is so much stronger than mine.

I've had to do more stretching and foam rolling after doing legs. But the 3rd day they feel great. I can tell my quads are getting bigger.

Bah, Lee Dungarees carpenter pants fit better and last longer.


I am finally starting to get in the somewhat strong category again. Yay!

Started with Cosgrove's to warm up and then moved into deadlift.

135x2
185x2
225x2
275x2
315x2
365x2
405x2
435x1 because my back started getting tired & tight.

followed up with 3x8 shrugs & some other assistance work. Think maybe I am going to start on the Ed Coan deadlift program next week.

Levi's! I have an old pair of Lee's I wear when working on the Runner.

Good numbers on the DL's.

running boards? What are those?

I'm planning on doing legs well, later today since I'm up at 4am. I drive my wife's FJ on leg days cause it sits lower and it's easier to get in and out of. Can't lift it cause it won't fit in the garage if I do. Stupid FJ roof rack.
