done for the day. trained at a different gym today for some machines i needed. not the most motivating environment on the planet but it was not crowded, no egos and is very clean. so it's hard to beat that with a stick. i actually felt kind of sick going in and it slowed my workout down just a smidge but i knocked it all out in about an hour and 20 mins total. got some new bars in that are a replacement for my preworkout meal macros. they are very very tasty and have zero preservatives in them plus they dont taste like powder and arent hard as a freaking brick. quick note on the gut issues i have been having, i think it may be from changing up coffee brands. so we are going to test that theory out here shortly. it's that or i am getting sick

done for the day. another nice kick in the nuts with this one haha. great workout though. i was a little upset with the depth on my first set of drops but i was wrapped and didnt have good feeling. my training partner said they were all rock bottom ham to calf so i will take it. should have shot a vid just so i could take a peek myself. now hopefully between the squats bulgarians and stiff i dont have a repeat of a broken ass for 3-4 days. that sucks when it is painful to step up and sit down haha

done for the day. i had a little bit of shoulder pain and issues today and i wasnt able to go quite as heavy as i wanted because i was rolling solo. i still pumped the hell out of my chest and got in a very good productive session. other than that, nothing to note other than having a little more stress than usual and not getting a lot of sleep last couple of days. it will balance off in time and i will adjust as needed

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!

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
