Last three months training have been ass….

Got Covid pretty bad it knocked me off my game for a few weeks, multiple deaths in the family and work been wilds :mjcry:


Last ~4 weeks I started up a “Whenever I can get it in PPL” just so I can feel something again :wow:.

Plan on doing this till YE and then start up another Wendler template :blessed:.


Also time to really care about cardio :unimpressed:

Covid really had me for a second (28 but ex-smoker).

Damn dude, take it easy. :whoa:


Sorry for your losses. Gains need to be the last thing on your mind.


Y'all know I ain't a big fan of cardio, it's another reason I ain't never smoked with cigawettes. :hubie:

On a pendlay?!? Are you using mixed grip to do it? Or straps?

I might use straps sometimes but they don't seem to really help. SymmetricStrength says they're legal.

Mixed grip? Supination? I don't do that for deads, the fukk Imma do that for rows? :mjtf:



You better join #HookGang. :francis:

Imma try it out tomorrow. I normally just do standard grip but my brachioradialis in both forearms limiting the amount of weight I can do. I hit 225 but it felt :sadbron:

?? How you got hip drive on a pendlay row?



After looking at this vid hip drive isn’t the correct word or maybe even Pendlay :dead: …. Way to Strict.


My deadlift setup includes me moving my hips/legs from a standard position(press of the floor) to more upright (think of an upside down L) a few times before liftoff.

So I mimic that set up for my rows & it’ll create some type of momentum & I’ll move my body up a couple of degrees.

But yeah I ain’t doing it like that video. Only similarity is a complete reset and the row is done off the floor.

Why you trying to create momentum for your row? :usure:

You're talking to the Great Coli Sage and King of Sage Monkeys whose famous hook grip goes for over 6 bills on dead liffs.
Hook gripping a Pendlay row is nothing compared to that.

1st Round Playoff Exits
past few days have me to the point where im tired of eating
not a fan of waking up feeling full

dont see how fat people do this all the time
Yeah I caught myself a few times. I legit couldn’t eat anymore. Like I could feel my stomach was full even though I had a ton of food on my plate.


I think a lot of it is psychological as well as cultural.

Not finishing your plate is seen as disrespectful
