    Remember Shane from the Youfit days.

    See him at Momentum every now and then even though ‘guests’ still technically aren’t allowed. He must be special.

    Early returns on the hex bar deadlift switch have been positive. Lower back feels much better

    Eat your beef. Eat your carbs. Lift a lot of volume. Lift heavy. You too can rip your shirt in a meeting

    it took me a minute before i realized it was the threads of the shirt and not an undershirt. i have blown quite a few elbows out on dress shirts and remembered them doing the same thing.

    It’s always around the ball of my foot. The midsole then pulls from the shoe and they make this awful squeaking noise.

    I’m a bit hard on my workout shoes though.

    It’s a good shoe for the average gym goer. Have had a pair for 2-3 years. Used them for lifting for a few months b4 switching to elevated heel and were fine. Use now for conditioning

    Nike is also kinda hit or miss. Seen different reviews for versions and Romaleos 3 were a disaster while 4s are awesome

    Bought a near $200 pair of running shoes when I was into that like 5 years ago and fell apart without a ton of usage

    Seems to be a lot of better gyms popping up OTP. A guy I know from my LA Fitness days then randomly also at Atlanta Barbell seems to work out at countless gyms a week. Mostly Oly stuff. But with full dedicated platforms, good plates, and I assume bars

    There’s so many OTP. Wish they moved in, but definitely more expensive. The Rack and ABB are really the only good powerlifting/oly/strongman gyms ITP

    First meet in the "Master" class today. Got all the state records (for old guys).

    Squat and Deadlift felt good. Hit PRs in both (242.5 squat and 252.5 dead) and probably had a little more in the tank for squat.

    Bench is REALLY pissing me off. Still stuck at 162.5 and missed at 170. I should have tried something lower, but got stubborn because I've hit it before. I just cant feel solid at the meets starting from the unrack. I'm going to really work on my back strength moving forward.

    Congrats on the PRs! That squat is growing, man.

    I feel you on bench. Im struggling with it as well. How many times a week do you bench?

    At least some variation 3-4 per week

    Like you, my shoulder has been fucky. I end up sleeping on it awkwardly a lot at night. Going to have a procedure in a couple weeks that should help me breathe easier and hopefully sleep on my back more.

    PT appointment went well.
    Good news: I don’t have shoulder cancer
    Bad news: my bench still sucks

    hes got me doing a lot of mobility stuff to let my shoulder move more freely through the ROM. Gonna do block work for bench for the time being

    Programming question for you fellas:

    I'm doing 5/3/1 and after my top set, I do an AMRAP at 65%. Usually that is a weight I can get 10 reps out of, but sometimes on bench or ohp it is only 8-9. Would it make a lot of difference if I went at 70% or even 75%? I suppose the best answer is try it for a while and see how it goes. i am definitely nitpicking a program that has worked for me so far.
