Didn't feel very strong today. I think the caloric deficit is starting to catch up. I'm at a point where I think a bodyweight overhead Press might be possible this year though.

Yeah, I'm still competing 105kg, when I have time and when the oilfield isn't consuming my entire existence lol. I've been thinking about bulking back up, but pretty happy walking around at 240 lb. It's been a while since I've posted here for sure. I stumbled back in looking for some queues on training DO axle. I suffered a complete distal bicep detachment about 10 months ago on an axle continental clean. I had surgery a week later, and am now all healed up, back at it but training axle clean and press all DO, because I'm too scared of alt grip cleans now haha. I'm way off of my best axle clean and press due to DO grip weakness. I've been stuck at around 320 DO axle dead forever, and can't seem to break that plateau. How is life been?

Sorry to hear about the tear man. That sucks big time. Probably the biggest news is I'm a grandpa now and have a second grand goober on the way so lots of babysitting and changing greased shorts. Training wise this seems like a year of recovery. Lost a lot of strength and am just trying to build back. I'm also cutting a bunch of pudge and am down to 247 now with 230 as a goal for the end of the year. Started training grip stuff again for the first time in years as well. Found a few people interested in it here in Alberta and we're having a comp towards the end of October. Workwise ive been laid off since the beginning of December. Might have a good opportunity though with a possible interview next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccos1 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hang in there. I remember heading into my basement at the old place and really hitting the steel. And deadlifting. Those were the two biggest things that evened me out. It's still tough thinking about it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
