im not sure what happened but my back flared up yesterday. There was nothing obvious that precipitated it but I writhed around on the couch most of the day. Monday’s ME movement was a low box squat and I planned on skipping it altogether but wanted to work an empty bar a little bit. Tight belt and heavy bracing worked up to a massive 225 single in gym shorts.
GHR 4x10
hanging leg raise.
band traction
at least 4 mile walk.

my hips are killing me right now

Subbed brother! I am too lazy to journal. But I will surly follow along and support!

Floor press 275. To be fair, my back still messed up. I imagine this looked like a bizarre decline to the untrained outsider.
supported rows
JM press 4x12

Glad to see this going again!

@monsoon never done floor presses. What do you like about them and any reason to work them in?

It’s another ME movement for the bench rotation. I am experimenting to find what carries over to my bench. Having the arms fully on the floor at the bottom prevents any bounce or momentum and it’s do or die because there’s really no way to dump it.

speed bench 135 with red bands tripled 9x3
think I figured out what hurt my back last week. On my first couple sets I noticed that I was flopping around on the bench. Hopefully a little more attention to form fixed that.

YTW
and just for a little fun because I was wearing a snugger shirt, curls and side raises
