Back today.

Depending on how I'm feeling, I may try to 1 rep up my whole olympic set (300 lbs) on the deadlift.

It will determine if I need to buy more weight soon. Mwahahahaha

(May end up in hospital)

Pulled it up twice with no worries. Time to buy more plates. Hammies are feeling good today....

Goal is 2.5x my bodyweight. So assuming I get back down to 160 soon, that would be 400 even.

Chest and Shoulders today. The best.

Nice dude, I'm working to pull 300 by the end of the year.

My work out today consisted of chopping 1/2 cord of fire wood. I will do the same thing once a week for the next 6 weeks. Not sure how that will relate to my golf swing, but I don't think it will cause too much harm. The beer afterwards is the best part. :beer:

Is that dangerous for the back with that much weight, going so heavy with few reps?

Not as long as the form is good. I was just testing my 1 rep max, not something I would do every week...but there's nothing wrong with it as long as you have a lot of experience with the specific exercise.

Nice.  Get a video of the 400 lb pull.

Will do. I could probably get up somewhere between 325 and 340 right now. So it'll be at least a month or two before I get all my strength back.

That's one thing I'm missing. Gotta hang my big whiteboard down in the gym so I can keep track. Same with some mirrors.

Squats today. Just 6 sets of heavy squats. Then some pushups and ab work. Fun times.

Due to a recent bout of injuries from being so out of shape, I think I'll start doing pull-ups and push-ups. I have a Yaniro board from my rock climbing days, and some metolius rings to do some pull-ups. I doubt I'll ever do front levers again, but at least I need to get in some semblance of shape. No more cerveza workouts any more. :-X

Posted by one of my FB friends. I won't be doing any of the exercises, just eating the candy and enjoying but thought this was funny.

Rolled my shoulder with a tennis ball. The muscle right in the armpit felt extremely painful from overworking it. The rolling made it feel good enough to make some swings. Switched to using my old Burner 1.0 irons so it does not put as much stress on this muscle.

Planning on doing pullups once possible without pain.

Worked on my deadlift form today. I tend to have my hips too high at the start and the back can get rounded. So focused on the following cues.

- Start with my shins about 1 inch away from the bar

- Drop my knees forward and out until the shins touch the bar. This gets my tailbone down.

- Pack my lats. This gets my chest up, back flattish.

- Then push the ground away from me keeping the bar in contact with my legs.

Anyone else feel or work on pieces like this? It feels like more of the weight is towards my heels and like I'm "falling back". Definitely felt it more in my glutes.

5x5 145 lbs

5x5 Sumo 145

5x3 205

3 pull ups or chin ups between each set.

I've fortunately never had a problem with deadlift form. Squats on the other hand...

Yes, I have been working on this too.  I can tell by how sore my back is the next day if I rounded my back during the lifts.  Yes, feeling the glutes tighten is my indicator that I have good form.

Just like golf, we all have our own priorities. Never had to worry much with squat form, sometime right right knee likes to cave in as I'm coming up but always been good with starting my squat with my hips.

Thanks. Did some more form work this morning and it felt pretty good. The cues to pack my lats and feeling the bar ride up my shins seems to really help.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
