TweetRight on brother. Glad all is well, you gotta wonder if every show that does actually happen will be slap full or very small turnout. Either way, it’s good to see you logging again.

their is talk of making us wear masks on stage along with spectators and all the other guidelines. with all the shut downs it is def going to be interesting to see turnouts and how bad it is going to hurt the promoter's bottom lines. right now in the states that i normally compete in they have canceled all the local shows through august and they pushed all the national level ones to start in sept.

done for the day. pretty good session today with only a little bit of lower back/hip issues. low back and hips are pretty beat up from the treadmill and not being able to get worked on but it didnt have a big effect on pulling. it's more so after which i get pretty much daily. strength is rolling pretty well and pumps are running really good. not excessively depleted so far so i actually feel pretty damn good. overall a pretty good day in the books. i think i have 2 maybe 3 weeks until we drop the hammer and start going damn hard across the board. going to do some theraputic phlymbotomy work here in 4-6 weeks when i fire up all the heavy harsh stuff. got a damn good doc now overseeing my health while blasting and keeping me normalized while cruising. could maybe translate into a better more healthy physique, if nothing else i will def be healthier haha.

done for the day. nowhere near as strong on anything today that i would have liked to have been. i do have an excuse with the incline bb because i havent touched a bar in many months. so i knew going in strength and speed would be way down but it also tanked on the db presses right out of the gate. huge disappointment for sure. sleep is good but recovery is down a bit, being sore for 4 days or more is the norm right now. i need to iron out where the recovery issues are coming from because i am clueless right now. could be maint cycle before the blast since i fired up and got cranking then had to shut down due to the shows being pushed. that's my guess right now. other than that a pretty decent day in the books but nothing to wright home about.

done for the day. had an exact opposite day from yesterday. felt very very strong today with almost no issues at all. first day putting any kind of bar on my back also since i have been belt squatting for months. we shut that one down a little on the lighter end just to let the low back get used to progressive weight and not busting it up to bad training. i am already beating the hell out of it with cardio. hips actually felt good even with the squats. i can honestly say that we absolutely killed this session. programing will be changing up next week so legs will start the week off. so only a few days to recover from this one before hitting it again.

done for the day. back with my buddy again in his facility. when i can get in with him to train his place has lots of stuff my normal one doesnt like chains band pegs a lot of different specialty bars etc.... so we are able to change up things like the normal skullies with chains and a bunch of other cool stuff. pretty straight forward day in today. strength was pretty good and as usual pump was painful and miserable. elbow as always was fucked and not happy at all once i got my sleeve adjusted and warmed up it got better but getting there is quite painful. sucks adding more wear and tear on different and new spots but all apart of getting older and part of the game.

done for the day. buddy didnt train today so my son and i went to my normal gym. since everything is secretly open only about 5 total people in the facility which is very nice. a little bit of elbow issues with the shoulder presses but once warmed up a little it was only minimum. since training in a different facility for so long and coming back into this one, strength is a little bit different on different machines and weights but still holding pretty good. all in all a really good pump with a good tempo and session. my boy actually shoulder pressed 85 for 8 perfect reps which is good considering he is over 6ft tall now and long and lanky. the exact opposite of me haha.

done for the day. hell of a kick in the nuts session today. moved some damn good weight with very little issues. hip/low back doesnt like the bb squats at all but still able to move up in weight a bit. got to continue to progressively overload to get the back and hip used to loading again. moved with a damn good pace and added in the reverse hypers post to open up the low back a bit more. great pump and excellent session.

done for the day. had an outstanding strong day in today. elbow held up pretty good but still nagging and tender but not so bad to make me pull back on weight. made improvements on all the presses so that's a plus. kept a pretty good pace going and got a really good pump. great session and really happy with it. did think i tweaked or strained one pec but it cramped up on me during legs yesterday and i think it was doing it again today.

done for the day. pretty good strength and energy day today with a good pace. we are doing the db rows bridged with feet together, so no cheating or twisting full lat activation. so they are way harder than the standard form and almost impossible to cheat on. great activation and pump for sure. we swapped out the dbl heavy band for the monster minis on the deads. the lock out on these was absolutely brutal and felt like about 600lbs. i could feel the tension from the trap all the way down to the erectors without even forcing the contractions. cool thing is with bands that heavy if your not locked in tight it will snatch it out of your hands and you cant lock it out. good stuff across the board with no issues at all. great session.
