*right glute pinching bad; shut it down
Lots of glute, hip, psoas and hamstring stretches before leaving.

These workouts are ****ing brutal! Not wanting to short change myself on the RPE has me really testing the waters and I'm straight wheezing between every set. Much of the time I can't get tight enough because of the panting, probably why my glute started pinching kinda bad near the end.
Got to bench with a new guy because the high school crowd was in full effect so we shared. Helped him with some stuff and he went from 290 x 5 @10 to 290 x 5 for two more sets, then 290 x 4 @10. "Bend the bar, eyes in line with the bar, push back towards your face..." Plus he's got gay wrist and he benches with a very narrow grip. We talked about it for a bit and he was eager to listen. He said he runs the Texas Method; I've seen him deadlift four plates and bench 3 so he's got some skills. Nice to have a spot and a lift off - that's why I went with the 275 on the last two sets. I would've undershot bad if I hadn't done that. Bench is still feeling good and the shoulder is holding up - no pain in the elbow either, plus I pressed with no wrist wraps today. Bench rest periods were short - just enough to swap weights and let dude get his set in.
I like the positioning I'm getting on my pulls also. I shut those down because I noticed my form go to shit on the last set. No hip thrust, legs locked out too early... So my "@9" observation was based on keeping good form. I could've kept pulling but fuxk that, right? I would rather keep hammering the good form as I climb back up the ladder than get back to the 600s using all lower back. @PillarofBalance : thoughts?
Continuing to see the weight loss trend while still hitting good caloric numbers daily. I can't wait to see where I'm at in June.
Videos are all ****ed up. Turns out when the phone screen touches inanimate objects it will cut off, or go slow motion, or switch to picture burst… Plus I had my son filming some of it - those are the ones that look like we’re suffering through an earthquake. I missed some of the paused deads and it was too annoying by the benches to film that shit. Hoping to bench Wednesday morning with my homie so we can get some footage of that. Heavy triples excite me.
@EastCoast1 How's the hip positioning looking in these deads?!
