I see you have a goal for Thanksgiving. Have you considered support briefs in the future? If you were to want to continue squatting, and prolong your hip issue a bit more, i believe those, and box squats would help.

I only say that, because of Dave Tate from EliteFTS has had both hips replaced. He uses briefs, and squats to a slightly above parallel box.

Just possible ideas for the future brother. Keep up the good work.

I like that idea. What kind should I get?

Spud Inc has some called the Gateway briefs that are highly recommended. Inzer has quite a few different single ply options. Metal has the "m" series, and are extremely cheap now.

Just depends on how much you want to spend, and how much support you'd like/need.

I had a hard time getting my breath during the 3 main lifts. It's like I was just completely gassed. I don't know what was up with that. Once I got past the pullups I was good to go. Weird.

I'm trying to remember if when I come up with this routine if I meant to not touch a barbell or if that was inadvertent.

When I did that same giant set last week to start, 3 sets of the rotation, last rotation to failure.... I was DONE the rest of the workout. I was useless! :32 (18):

Lower A

Extensions: 3x12
Curls: 3x12
Squats: 12,10,8
Pin Pulls: 12,10,8
Seated Calf Extensions: 3x25
Split Squats: 3x8

Pretty sweet workout this morning. There were only like three other people there and that makes me happy. That plus the fact that I don't have shit to do today made for a very focused and enjoyable session.

I've never done pin pulls before. I chose to go that route today over conventional deadlifts because I had already done curls, extensions and squats. I figured, why put more on the knees when the targeted area is lower back, glutes and hams.

Push A (Chest Focus)

Incline BB Press: 10,10,6,5,5,5
Seated Shoulder BB Press: 10, 3x8
Flat DB Press: 3x12
Lateral DB Raises: 2x10 dropset 12
Dips: 3x12
V-Bar Pushdowns: 15,15,12
Front Cable Raises: 3x10

It took a long time to get this one in. I had to wait on a few work cells. I didn't let it bother me though. My mindset was strong af. On my main press I thought a lot today about how so many vets said on that one thread about chest growth to go 3x6-8 on working sets and hit it heavy. The two sets of 10 were warm up. The set of 6 was just to bridge the gap to where I wanted to work. The last 3 sets I felt I was putting in good work.

One of the most consistent and clearest results active members.

Pull A

Seated Rows: 15,14,13,12
Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns: 3x10
DB Shrugs: 3x15
Lawnmower Pulls: 3x8
Standing BB Curls: 3x10
Rear Delt Flies: 3x12
Machine Iso Curls: 20,17,15

Since I have learned how to roll my shoulders back and down and limit the range of motion on the seated rows to keep pressure on the targeted area my back is improving. It has also allowed me to perform those high reps that Snake taught me about at high weight. Good stuff.

SPECIAL THANKS to Galatyjoe for his post on my journal. I feel it really brought good energy and enhanced the entire thread.

10-21-2020 Update. My midsection is so compromised until I have the hernia surgery. 10-21-2021 will be better. Picture updates are always tough for me.

Totally understandable. Mine is actually compromised right now due to excess caloric intake lol. Abs are still hurting from situps yesterday :32 (18): can't really see them tho

 

[CJ]

Looking good my man!!!!!

 

[Skullcrusher]

Arms, shoulders, and upper back coming along nicely.

You can see your lats and v-taper starting to take shape.

Keep up the great work man!

Lookin’ good. Do more laying dumbbell flies with the palm ends coming together to shape out your pex & burn that little fat that accumulates on the side of the pec. I don’t mean to purposely point out but I know what exercises address what. Hope you take constructively.
