    Watching a video that has a young lady (powerlifter) that went to see Chris Duffin about her squatting form.


    Yes, I think she is cute.

    Edit: Seriously, there are some good cues/reminders in the video.

    Jeez, what a clusterfvck. I'm also real close to the prime viewing area for the eclipse and the amount of extra people in town is unreal. Just got back home from an 8:30 a.m. appointment that is about 40 minutes from the house.
    Again, traffic is a total clusterfvck.

    Well, I was wrong. Mrs. AG cannot hear. Looks like a pair of hearing aids in her future...or 2 cheap funnels if the hearing aid prices are outrageous?

    Glad you liked it, Fitchick!! I enjoyed it/found it informative as well. Plus, I'm pretty sure that at the beginning of the video where she kind of made a face, her dog was in the background wallowing around on the bed. Naturally, I'm automatically a fan of hers.
    Actually looked up her stats.

    Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Was a rough day at work. Not work wise . Just very sore, might have pushed too hard or something.

    Either way missed gym yesterday so I made it a point to get in there tonight.

    Hit shoulders. Was good, did pre exhaust today. But I'm realizing I'm not motivated right now. Not sure why, but head is definitely not in the game.

    Seated db laterals
    Seated db palms up front raise
    Ez bar up right
    Smith press
    Behind back cable laterals

    Was ok, but kept having to tell myself to keep going. Tomorrow will be another day. Move on and get past

    Back today:

    Pull downs: 3 sets heavy (normal weight - yeah) 10-12 ish
    Incline Smith Rows: 3 heavy 8-10 reps. Such a great contraction on these.
    Low cable rows: 3 sets 10-12 ish reps. Hanging 50 lbs on top the stack. Not ready for normal 100 lbs yet. Still scared a bit here but feeling them big time
    Dumbell rows over 35 degree bench (simultaneous): 3 sets 10-15 reps. Wasted by the end of these.
    Shrugs behind the back: 4 sets 15 reps
    Dumbell shrugs: 2 sets 20 reps

    Back is making progress.

    Food intake has been great lately. Most days getting in 7 meals. Today will be 6 but I make up for it volume wise.

    You have been through a lot. It's okay if your head isn't in the game. You have recovered fast and are already back putting the work in. Be easy on yourself

    You took the step today. Tomorrow you will get up and do it again!!

    Chest/cardio this morning. Didn't go too heavy and just 3 movements, 3 sets each, then an hour of cardio, or almost the same amount as kel has done the last 25 years.

    Feeling pretty good. Got a ways to go but the path is getting clearer.

    Worked late this morning and going back in early this evening. Absolutely have to get to the shop to lift tomorrow. I'm hating myself more than usual.

    Spoke with Marcus a little bit ago. Sounds like things are improving and he will be back training soon. He is taking some time off soon with Mrs. Marcus and enjoying the countryside.
    Things have been tough for him, so let's keep him in our thoughts.

    Morning Cape, AG, Clarky!!

    Trying to decide if I want to do back or shoulders today?

    The fluff has happened, about 7lbs of water weight from gear.......ahhhh. I was feeling really lean and doing well. I am going to eat chicken and broccoli this week and see if I can pull some of it back off. It really discourages a little (even though I know it's temporary)

    Did hamstrings and glutes yesterday. Felt good. I want change so bad . I can tell my arse is getting more thick, but can't tell if that's the fluff water weight.

    Alright I am done griping like a girl.

    Time to get my arse up and put in the work.

    What's body part should I tear up today?

    Back or Shoulders and Arms?

    So glad you were able to talk to him.

    He is for sure in my thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks for the update.
