How much do u love saying that right?!?! I watched almost all the seasons this summer, I think I have one left to go!

Failed on 300 bench again but got a 3k bonus from work for being vaccinated so today is a win.

All I got from being vaccinated is being rushed to the hospital after collapsing :frowning:

Shit put me absolutely off the grind for 2 weeks, but just monday I got back in the gym again :fire:

This was the last time I’ll ever be able go that heavy on squats. I’ll continue to lift but I’ll focus more on bodybuilding rep ranges now, i hope i can continue with that for a long time but we’ll see… it is what it is. Stay strong :muscle:… chase them reps, chase them goals

Yesterday (Tuesday) I had a ā€œbrilliantā€ idea to go for a longer swim. With fins (doctor’s recommendation).
Anyway, swam for a whole 10 km, nothing too strenuous - well, obviously, since I had flippers on - but today (Wednesday) I had to postpone my gym session for a day, because of two awful blisters the fins caused me :roll_eyes:.
But nevermind, the weather forecast says it’s going to start raining in a couple of days, so at least I seized another day of summer :slight_smile:

Last time heavy deadlifting for me was disappointing… I wanted 500 but failed at 465… this was 415, i hit 445 and missed 465 twice… I’ll miss pulling really heavy weight but it’ll be okay training differently. I fell short of all but 1 of my 1 rep lifting goals but 1 outa 4 ain’t bad for an underachieving fella like myself. Stay strong :muscle:

Anyone here have experience with a Theragun?

Constantly got those aches and pains we all know about. I stretch 2x a day, foam roll, lacrosse ball, TENS therapy, and ice. Every single day.

Looking for something more, since I always feel like I have sonething nagging at me. The pricetag is a bit staggering though. I guess I could try it and return it if it isn’t worth the money. Just curious if anyone here has used one.

I have one (the pro), it’s amazing in my opinion.

Thanks! I feel like so many of my little tweaks are just so deep in there, hopefully this helps. I am also hoping it can help my back too by relaxing the muscles in the hips and legs.

Pro is the one I was looking at, too. Go big or go home, right? I’ll likely go for it…again, can always return it if I feel it wasn’t worth it. I’ll just call it an early self birthday gift :grimacing:

Just ordered one for pickup at Dick’s down the road. Glad I can pick it up today. Think I did too much this weekend, hips are killing me. Been getting new, sharp pains in my right IT band too :unamused:
