But whatever i had has run its course, just lingering a little. I should have gone 2 weeks ago, gotten an inhaler and antibiotic and would have been fully recovered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Glad to know the deload is going well. I feel you probably know your body best, I understand the hesitation to want to go to the doctor I am very much like that. I have to remind myself it's usually best to have the peace of mind that everything is ok and not let something that could be treated early get worse. Looking forward to see how your strength rebounds after a light week. Will give me motivation to start mine soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work has also been very stressful and I know that its some of it as well, stress can affect recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That convertible in the top pic, is a 32 Ford Phaeton with a V8 all original. He bought it from original owners up in Maine was stored in a garage since 1948. Very rare and worth a fortune. Some of motors he has are worth 10-20k. He's not even rich, this is just from buying and selling all these years. He just bought that Willys pickup. That one in the 3rd pic is a 1934 coupe was in magazines back in the 60s, I typed in the owners name on my phone, found his address and we knocked on his door, few years later he bought it. The one next to it is his own, he's chopped channeled, did all the body work. Its all NOS chrome. I hope to own that one someday, not only because its awesome, but he built. I'll see if i have a better picture of it. 1 hour ago, John Knowlton said: Is this the same uncle that has the Tractor and fuel tanker.

Blacksmith513 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) This morning deload WD2 Orange Spring 5 reps 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, 2-2 ,2-3, 3-2, 3-3 Didn't want to go higher. Strength is better today, but my endurance is still not there. Sledge levering 14lbs 5 sets 20"x3 reps All bending done in suedes DO 60d timber tie 12 seconds 60d timber tie 7 seconds 60d galv 8 seconds Reverse 60d galv 11 seconds 40d bright 18 seconds 40d bright wraps touching 19 seconds 2x3 ring dips these are way harder when you turn your hands out Sidewinder and Sidetwister I like these 40d brights... Easy to kink but slightly challenging to crush.. Home Depot sells them and the 60dbrights for 17cents a piece. Almost free. I'm going back to buy more. I'm thinking about training to lift the blob instead of the inch for now. I could be wrong but I honestly think if I cut out inch work, and use either RGT or 2 3/8 loadable handle not both, train for the blob and focus on getting my strength up in general I'll still end up lifting the inch in roughly the same time frame. I'll talk to Jedd on Tuesday, not giving up on my goals but i've learned A LOT since July and i think you gotta evolve. Lifting the inch is a very specific goal and like I said, I feel i need to focus on getting strength up and just getting stronger with thick bar.. Plus I really like pinch, especially 2x5, feels natural and i wonder if thats from working with lumber every day.

matek Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Great workout! 13 minutes ago, Blacksmith513 said: 2x3 ring dips these are way harder when you turn your hands out Just the fact that it's ring dips already makes it harder than regular dips. When I did gymnastics a little bit in my teens, we had to do it both on parallel bars and rings, and the stabilization factor made ring dips much harder. 38 minutes ago, Blacksmith513 said: I'm thinking about training to lift the blob instead of the inch for now.

And what you lift over your lifetime affects what you lift in sport. So if open hand and thick bar feels natural, maybe the blob is well-suited to the strengths/abilities you've developed from working with lumber every day. I'd say go for it if you want to do it! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy blobbin! Thank you.. Ring pushups and rows i did for many years, I suck at pull ups but i've slowly gotten better at them. Ring dips aren't to hard but this morning i tried them and its way harder when you turn your hands out. We will see, the inch is still my main goal. 4 hours ago, Douglas Carney said: I'm assuming there would be a lot of carryover. And what you lift over your lifetime affects what you lift in sport.

Yeah, its true and sledgehammers levering has always felt natural.. But it took a long time for it to not hurt the tendons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its certainly not something id feel comfortable maxing out on. At least with one hand you got the other to help stop. Tomorrow Id like to get a sandbag set up with 75lbs and start going zercher squats with it on bending day... I'd prefer to start light. I also plan on shouldering and carrying my 160lbs sandbag, hopefully i can get after my 180 soon. i shouldered that one once or twice. I used to do timed walks with my 160lbs sandbag on one shoulder and a 35lbs kb in one hand and a 55lbs in the other. Then finish it off with bearhug carries. I was so well conditioned then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gripperer Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Very high reps on those club swings. Is that 800 total? Seems like it could be good cardio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it could be good cardio. 10 sets of 40 each arm so 800 total. I'm still new to this so I wasn't swinging full force but it got my heart rate up. It really feels good on the shoulders, and chest and upper back a little. Put on some good music like Pink Floyd or Allman Brothers and zone out, very relaxing. @John Knowltonyou inspired me to try out a new Mexican joint... Got a carnitas quesadilla.. It was amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Easy first day back on rower. 5 min warm up 3x250m 1min rest 2 min cool down.. 10 minutes of yoga My breathing is pretty much back to normal. Weighed two of my sandbags, one is like 56lbs the other is 120lbs, then i have my 160 and 180lbs... I'm gonna start squatting the two lighter ones this week. Maybe i'll see if i can still overhead press the 120lbs one. I should be able to. Edited April 3, 2023 by Blacksmith513 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
