deficit rdls
135 x 4 x 8 (very slow, good stretch)

hamstring curls 3 sets to failure
ss w/banded ab crunches

nice session, still getting back into the swing of things, feels damn good to be moving some actual weights around, and man, i missed deadlifts.

getting a new adjustable bench for the rack tomorrow, ordering some more plates soon and some pegs for the platform and rack to add in some band work.

 

[Gibsonator]

all weights used at this point are to get back acclimated and also to test things, see where I'm
at, where we can take things and break down form and such.
Metal is writing my training plan as we go and I'm following whatever he gives me 100%
taking videos of top sets and such to critique form and see how the weights are moving.
thanks for following brothers!

Good to see another joining the strength realm.

I've been a closet powerlifter fan for a minute just never crossed to the dark side and followed a program of any sort.

Good luck! Keep the joints healthy.

got the new adjustable bench today, pretty nice, it'll do for the garage gym.

I’m in. 85% for Trumps comments and 15% to support Gibs

 

[Thatgoodfellow]

Just know there’s no turning back. You’re gonna enjoy this style of training to much. Looking forward to following along.

How do you get 1 normal facing picture to, two sideways?

 

[Seeker]

Just got a chance to go through this thread. You're on your way to some exciting and challenging times buddy. Saw your videos this morning and you're looking solid with that power rack you put up. Maybe I'll drive down one of these weekends and pull some iron with you.
