I told you brother it is no joke and a challenge if you do it exact in the way i describe, glad it has added a level of difficulty, that will help with progressing in overload and endurance over time lets get it

Hell ya bro. I'm loving it. It'll take a bit to dial in the weights but I can already see the benefits. I was like I can seated row 190 for 15 all day long but man those pauses took it outta me. I was pausing on both sides of the movement and I gassed out at 14 lol. Regularly I could probably hit over 20. Going full flexion and pausing the eccentric felt amazing though. Loosened me up real good for the working set.

Hell yes!! That is fucking amazing i llve hearing that brother!! I told you man if you do it on both sides of the movement you cant cheat you cant out momentum it... you have to use every fiber of the muscles in the body, an it will push you mentality because now you got to fight the mind and body dig deep and find a way, and ig you got 10 movements as an example your in for hell lol.

Learn to love the pain. The pause on the concentric was really new to me but it makes sense with certain movements when you get the really good squeeze. Appreciate the help bro. It's definitely never leaving my programming from now on.

Thats what it is all about brother being a community and helping any time i get the opportunity glad i could be of assistance my dude yeah trust me you will definitely feel it next few days lol.

Now imagine doing a complete full stretch and holding a dead hang pull up rep for 3-5 seconds before you pull up and through the movement and do that for every rep.

Lol actually I have done that. I do dead hangs when my back or shoulders get tight. I used to program dead hang pull ups a lot but started prefer weighted instead

I do it with dips with a 3-5 second pause at the bottom full stretching

Last night was pretty sad @Masonic Bodybuilder

who played? LOL

Oh man that would be a killer. Especially if you tilt forward and get that crazy pec stretch deep down. It could be dangerous to though cuz if you fail deep in the stretch I'd be worried about tearing something. It's almost like there's no safe way out when you're that deep. I have a rack mounted dip bar and I always worry about smashing my face off the post if I fail deep lol

 

[BeMe]

who played? LOL

Oh you mean in the "hokey" game last night? LOL

 

[LevButlerov]

Oh you mean in the "hokey" game last night? LOL

yes that Canadian thing LOL

 

[BeMe]

yes that Canadian thing LOL

Actually its your American thing for another year. Florida beat Edmonton for the Stanley Cup last night, so you're the hokey champs LOL.

I saw in a post where you said you're from New Mexico? You definitely get a pass cuz NM is probably the least hockey state of them all. I honestly know nothing about New Mexico, which is weird because you guys are bordered by such big well known states. Why is it that you guys are so undercover?

NM we have 0 hockey lol but I was at muscle beach the other week training a client, they too warm as well. @BeMe

@LevButlerov literally the only stuff I know about New Mexico is the stuff from breaking bad. I know the southern part is all desert but what about the north. You guys are really close to Colorado so it's the northern side less desert lake more mountains and forests?

Log Day 68

Long day at work, but it was a rest and cardio day so perfect timing. Hit the treadmill to walk and run and got my steps up to 12K. It's been a little while since I hit 12K steps which I think may have been hurting my recovery. I'm well recovered today I think that's due to my cardio work. Need to stop skipping cardio when I'm exhausted and just power through cuz it's good for my body I think.

Ate pretty shitty last night. My wife wanted to order in from the BBQ spot so I got some Brisket and fries. They don't have any veg or rice options. Atleast the fries are homemade and good, but I think the high amount of salt is making my skin dry and body hold water today. Salt restaurant food tends to do that to me.

Last night was pretty sad @Masonic Bodybuilder

No way they win next year for the 3 peat! They will likely lose a lot of good pieces this offseason.

Oh god no..a Panther dynasty would be horrible lol.

Ya the rumour is my Leafs are gunning for that scum bag Bennet. Hope we don't lose Marner for him.

You must be the only Canadian happy that Florida won lol. The Panthers are the biggest rat team in the league...and McDavid deserves a cup...how can you be happy lol. Sad sad day I say.. ah well maybe next year the cup will come back to its home country and the Oilers can get them 3rd go around.

@BeMe I am north of Santa Fe, and it's nothing like the desert vibe you see in Breaking Bad. Up here you've got real mountains, thick pine forests, and alpine lakes that make it feel more like southern Colorado. Even in summer, it stays cool enough that you're not drenched in sweat before the warmup's done.

Oh, I am not happy they won, lol. I am also a Leafs fan too. Glad there is 2 of us here!

Oh wow that sounds amazing. Heaven on earth. I like the idea of living in a lesser known spot with a lower population. The interior of British Columbia is kinda like that up here. My wife and I are planning on buying an RV in the next few years and traveling around the US and Canada. Santa Fe New Mexico is now on my list.
