Nice job, Charlie.

Push day. Heavy presses, hit incline 225 for a nice 3 second pause 3x3. That was the highlight.

Nice days, Charlie and Huy!

Yeah, Charlie, I am hoping this rear delt/lat thing isn't going to be long term/permanent like the rest of the shoulder, but it might end up being that. Time will tell, 37 years of heavy lifting has to catch up some time, I guess. Maybe some surgeon will use my as a guinea pig for a bionic joint.

Nice job Huy and Charlie! Nice PR Charlie!

Hopefully you kick it Tom, although joint work has come a long way in 37 years.

Tonight was best bench day for me in a while, back up to my precious stall point
Bench 5x5
Cable rows 4x10
Stair machine 30 minutes, added 92 floors to my tally.

A friend of ours teaches a Group Powet (HIIT) class and invited us to join it today. My elbow handled the lower weigh/higher reps way better than I thought. Not sure that such a squat heavy exercise class was a good idea the day after heavy squats/supp leg lifting/stair machine. lol

High reps and pretty low weights for me for chest today. Felt good and I was pumped like a MoFo, Charlie.....just wasn't impressing the chicks with my strength today.

I am determined to lift my own body weight, and I'm beginning to wonder if I should just shoot to lose 76 more lbs.
Best things I did to build pull-up strength and do more was negatives, slow descents, and not going to failure.

Heavy negatives at the end of your back workouts will help a lot. Your lats and biceps respond the best to movements where you have to hold weights. Start at the top and just hold yourself there. Lower a little bit and hold there. Continue until you are at the bottom. Try to make it last 10 seconds.

Use 3 second descents on your pull-ups.

In general for strength you want to stop a rep or 2 before failure. You need a I keep your CNS from getting fatigued.

Those will all help. You will get there in no time.

Agree with Christos, always try and do some slow work on back. I also like to take that last possible rep on rows and hold it at contraction until I can't grip the bar anymore. I did just that when I did back today...a bit lighter than usual, but I dropped my rest periods by half and upped the intensity that way.

Add me to the list of holding shrugs for 3 seconds minimum and last 2 reps as long as I can. Big Traps are the new abs

So this afternoon there was a tremendous and audible, yet not very painful, POP from my right elbow. Today I was able to do more chest and tricep work than I have in nearly 2 weeks.

Squats, Deads, Bench (flat, incline, decline), Flys, Close Grip Bench, Reverse Grip Tricep Extensions, Dips ... finished up with 30min on the stair stepper. Then came home and mowed the lawn lol
