I agree and I have been learning something new for almost 2 years now. Thank you so much for this. I am always reminded of things that can be added back into my workouts that haven't been done in awhile. Still your biggest fan!

you know i am pretty much always around whenever in need for you guys. that's what this little book is for also as well as to keep me accountable to myself and not be slacking and whimpy like today.

How do you do a standing cable crunch?
Sounds awkward?

actually not awkward at all. it is pretty much the same as a kneeling cable crunch except you put your feet back further than your torso. i use the lat pulldown station and put my legs under and a little behind the thigh pads. then you basically just bend over at the waist and contract your abs down. i use it to both warm up my abs and lower back as well as loosening and stretching out my hams and back. it is a great prehab rehab move for your lower back

Having a hard time picturing that but think I got it, I'll try it out and see... Facing away from cable machine?

yessir. you straddle the seat to the pulldown station (of course attach the rope to the cable over your head). then move your feet back to where they are under the leg pad a bit(you need to play with this both for the stretch decompression on your back and hams as well) reach up and grab the rope and then crunch all the way over at the waist. once warmed up all the way i can almost curl all the way into my legs. it's pretty cool because i can pull with and through my lower abs much easier standing than down on my knees with a normal rope crunch

done for the day. great workout no issues other than tris/bis being a little tender. i did some chatting with a female competitor when i first got in because she asked for a spot as i walked through the door. os it cut into my calf and cardio work for the day. that's good though cause they are a little tender and i havent recovered 100% from my trip and sleep, so it is good that i am not hammering my body for no reason and i need to be growing and recovering. not that i am not but i know i am a little compromised atm. i should be good to go with a full rest day tomorrow though or at least i am hoping so

done for the day. killer session today and actually moved some good weights. the 405 shifted on my back a little bit and i got a little twinge but nothing major at all. sucks to start off a set with a little slip before your first rep but i got it done pretty easy. pump was stupid after first few sets of leg curls and didnt let up the entire workout. overall i would say a great day all in all and got it done early in the day to rest and recover.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Keep crushing guns. Still following along. For me sometimes that twinge is nothing, some times the next day I feel it. I can usually tell by how the rest of the session goes

oh yeah man, if it is at the top of a movement i am normally good to go, if at the bottom it is an oh no damn it moment for me 9 out of 10 times. if i get any nerve shooting down my legs or butt it's lights out next day. this one was more of a hey dumb ass dont shift the weight again or it isnt going to be good sensation haha. i hate being jacked up from earlier in my career and getting older. seems like everything takes so damn long to heal back up from these little stupid injuries.

I hear ya, I dont have an off switch and really letting an injury heal the way it should is pretty non existent. If I can move one part of my body thats the part thats gonna lift. I hate being dinged up.
