Thats funny! I'll be catching up on your videos tonight. I had another couple of busy days!

Kettlebells are a great tool. They add some variety and are good for my shoulders. They don't make them complain. 😁

Just a nice light deadlift day to get back into the swing of things.

I want to get 10. It's so close....I got 9 a few weeks ago!

That third rep was slow, but there was no chance of failing it even if it looked that way. The safties were set just in case. All I have to do is go down to parallel and lean forward a bit. I have tested the settings with just the bar to get them dialed in perfectly.

It was a very thoughtful gift!

Nope, no complaints! After the schedule of the last few weeks, I am very happy with how the workout went!

Thanks! I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!

These knives are a neat gift! A 405 bench is really good! I don't know if I'll ever get there. I'll be happy with 315. Even though my shoulders don't bother me in everyday life they do get aggravated by bench and I have to go slow to keep them happy.

@@bigjsknives appreciate that BigJ

There are a few knives that I carry maybe once a month or so anf this will be one of them. I carry a Swiss Army Knife once in a while because it is very similar to what my grandfather carried. I enjoy carrying some items because of the memories associated with them.

Thanks! I think the last rep looked worse than how it felt. There was no question of making the rep even though it looked slow on the video. Like I said you have to look at the overall trend, not any specific day or week. It will get there in time. I take bench pretty slow to keep my shoulders happy. I'm slowly working in a few days with a bit more volume. Some volume is needed along with more intense days.

I was very happy with squats after how draining the last couple of weeks have been!

👍

Glad you enjoyed it! I will be posting a video of the handbell choir in a few days.

The back is pretty much better now! I have been too busy lately to keep up with youtube and am catching up now!

@@LCKStrengthTraining As cheesy as it sounds, I use an exercise roller with nubs, and it definitely helps.

@@Rickster1972 I actually have one of those foam rollers and they do sound cheesy, but they do help. The only thing to be careful about when using them is not to put pressure on the spine. After yesterday's squatting session all lower back discomfort is gone. I have found that squats help relieve back pain.

Thanks! I am a bit behind on comments. I have been too busy to mess with youtube. Now there will be a little breathing room!

It had to be a quick session. The tank was on E!

They did a great job! I'll probably post another video later this week or over the weekend.

I missed a bunch of comments, trying to catch up! you ended up doing pretty good for being sick.

I do have better equipment at home than what is in the gym. The gym is a lot bigger and is easier to record in. The biggest problem with lifting at home is constant interruptions from family!

@@LCKStrengthTraining I find it hard to get motivated at home versus a gym. Maybe it was just the camera angle but it seemed like you started your deadlifts with your hips higher and your knees a bit less bent. BTW, I am deadlifting on a deadlift bar again and what a difference.

Thanks! I have been quite busy lately and haven't been on youtube. I'll be uploading some workout footage and showing a little bit of what I have been up to.

It's funny but I always feel stronger on Friday than on Monday's. It's still good. Mondays and Fridays both keep improving.

The bench was 275 so another PR. Actually, my bar and weights are heavier than stated. It was actually about 280. The same weight even feels quite a bit lighter at the school gym. Thw swings were a squat replacement for today. I love those things!

@LCKStrengthTraining oh I stand corrected..275 it is. Wooohooo! Not much more to go to get the big 300..

@@MacBeanScottishFitness yeah he deserves more.

I did post a short last week and it brought trolls. I ended up blocking them instead of responding. I think I'll skip the shorts and just leave the channel small. There are a few of us that support and encourage one another and that is good enough. If I wasn't posting these videos most likely I wouldn't be quite as serious with my training. They bring a certain level of accountability and maybe a little friendly competition.

@@LCKStrengthTraining unfortunately trolls are out there, I just block them and after awhile they find other creators to attack. such cowards they are. Been there ,

Thanks! Bench is my slowest lift. If I do the needed volume my shoulders will complain. Just taking it slow and keeping volume within tolerances.

It's exactly what I had planned to do! That last rep was tough, but after #4 I thought I had just enough left for #5.

Thanks! The work set plus backoff set has been working quite well and doesn't leave me as fatigued.

Positive lifting content on youtube is forbidden! LOL

watching from work :(

@MacBeanScottishFitness go home. Retire..lol wife and son can handle things now lol..

Same here. I am about to start watching a few videos!

@@thebodybeatdownDiTi maybe in about 4 more years

Thanks! Part of the reason for the angle of the video is so that the plates as well as depth can be seen. I have to keep an eye on form because I have a tendency to cheat on depth sometimes.

Thanks for the sub. The Body Beatdown had recommended your channel, so I had subbed. It's good to see us regular people getting it done!

@LCKStrengthTraining Oh he too?! I know Astronimus did.

@@jere.nurkka You might be right on who recommended your channel. It's been a few weeks and I may have it mixed up. That happens! I think Astronimus took his channel down. It seems to be gone and all his comments on my past videos are also gone. I know BBD had some problems with trolls maybe he did to.

Thanks! It has been a few months since I did 405. I was verry happy to go even a little higher and it was easier!

LOL slowly getting there!

I did more than a few today! It was 2 days combined into 1! It will not be long and you'll be back at it. It just seems like every time you are making progress something happens. Hopefully this is it for a good loooong while.

BBD recently made a video on hot chips which started the craving!

Thanks! Most of the trolls post from their mother's basement!

@ 🤣🤣🤣🤣very true

Eggs, sausage, and potatoes what's not to like? That is if you can consider chips potatoes! 🤣

It was good! At first I was a little disappointed with the chips, but they "built up" as I ate more!

Thanks! I do have a rack at home but it is hard to get in a workout there without constant interruptions from the wife and kids! Lunchbreak at work is much easier.

Thanks! Squats are a very technical movement and require constant work!

I need to be doing more volume 1 day a week. The trick is to do enough without doing too much and aggravating my shoulders. I have been gradually trying to build up more volume slowly on Mondays for a while now, trying to increase how much my right shoulder can take.

🔥🔥🔥LOL Go do a ton of deadlifts and you'll fall asleep!

It's funny that you say that! My M.I.L grew up in South Korea and she squats all day long working in the garden. When I help her I use "white man tools" that is tools with a long handle so that the work is done standing. She wants no part of it. She uses her short handled tools while squatting.

@LCKStrengthTraining yep.. they know best

There is a lot that goes on. Squats are such a complicated movement. A couple weeks ago I fixed one of the students squats. He had his heels coming up off of the floor and ended up on his toes at one point during every rep. In about 10 minutes he was doing a near perfect squat. The mechanics can be a little different for each person.

@LCKStrengthTraining nice job.

Yep, it will not be too long! Slow and steady I'll just keep plugging away at it.

405 should not be a problem right now. The last time I did 405 was right after getting to 365X5 and I just did 380X5. While 5's are going up every week I wanted to keep pushing them out then it will be time to move to lower reps and more weight on Fridays.

I usually go up to 405 without straps. I could probably get the workout done with reverse grip, but I don't want to have to focus on grip when doing sets. The other issue is that double overhand grip is the safest way to deadlift and there is no way that I could do a top set overhand without straps. They are very easy to use. Next week I'll explain how they are used.

Thanks!

I hate when my hair is long enough to require brushing! The Jack isn't cheating......it's using your brains! 🧠🤯🧠 Slow and steady works. Squats and deads are going up 5 pounds a week for sets of 5. That isn't bad! 380X5 tomorrow!

@LCKStrengthTraining brains? Zombies got my brains lol 😆 .. you'll get your goal easy. You're stronger than you think.

@@thebodybeatdownDiTi I had found a gif of Homer Simpson with a banana dancing inside his head for brains. I wanted to put that in the post, but it is not supported in the comments! If I get 380X5 today the rep max calc says that is a 427.5 one rep max. Usually I can do a little better than what the calculator says.

I hadn't done skullcrushers in a long time. I need to be doing some extra triceps work to help bench. The chinups hit biceps pretty hard. What you didn't see was the cardio.....I'm ready for a nap now! 😴
