The training is suffering this week as well.
Sick last week missed 2 sessions. After working out Monday the cold/flu came back again. Plus dealing with all these appts for firefighting is eating up time too.
Planning on press day tomorrow and legs and pull either friday or Saturday hopefully

Congrats on the PR bro. They’re always nice, no matter how big or small.

Thanks brother, just started getting under a barbell for bench a month ago when I switched to PL. Always been a DB guy and my chest is my weakest. I will take any PR any time. Thanks again.

365x5 all felt light, off the ground quick. Hook grip still holding out, knees took a beating today.
Squat Volume, did what I could and then said fuck it, so not really much volume.

Low bar? High bar should have zero effect on elbows.

Doing squats after deadlifts is no joke. My knees definitely take a beating from sumo too man.
Yeah, that's something I don't do anymore. Going to squats after deadlift is much harder than vice versa. The low back fatigue from doing deadlift before squats is too much for me.
I don't really ever have much in the way of knee problems from sumo deadlift though. Bothers my hips more than anything.

Think it's still low, what I have noticed is I cant get my wrists straight no matter what 8 try lol....
I don't think that would matter much in terms of hurting your elbows. You might be like me and just can't low bar with your current level of mobility without hurting your elbows

Well l, I got to try bar higher then and see what happens... can have squats screwing my bench lol

Ya know all this shit started when I went to th TMX4, maybe until i get better at PL I should just got back to 531, I dunno.... I really like PL but after BB it's a tough way to lift. Kudos to you almost elite and elite brothers.
Nah, just gotta iron a few kinks out and you'll be all good. You're just getting started.

Keep working on it, you can find something that works
You and me both, even after all these years. We all go through the times when we wanna quit and feel like we're never gonna reach our goals. There's a lot of trial and error involved.

On a side note, planning to check out that other gym this week. More into Old School BB and PL. They even seem to have mini meets in the gym and they are registered with the PL body here.
