Yes, if you are referring to plates.

My body is wasted after this last week. fell asleep on the couch after work today, which is abnormal.
Friday was painful. Times should be better next week.

basketball and squats the last few weeks. Still on the push up, pull up and dip routine during the week. Slowly but surely gaining reps. Feeling leaner and more explosive lately, and as a result squats feel extra solid. Nothing earth shaking but moving in the right direction.

Nice work man. I have never noticed the deadlifts from the plate before, have you been doing that long? and how are they working out?

^^^^^ I agree. 25 reps was probably plenty. I am usually happy with 16 good reps. Lately it seems like I get so little done, so i want to go for it when I can even when its too much.

The last couple of weeks I have cut out friday basketball, and am feeling better for it.
Been sleeping real well lately and my back is the best it has been in years. Todays squats were garbage so I called it a day, but last saturday I could have got 6x245 but I went soft mentally and reracked it for a 10 count. That's progress.

I feel pretty boss after today's workout. This month has been a step forward for sure.
Not sure if I have ever got 10 reps @ 225. The third set I didn't have it in me, I had to rerack the bar a few times to get to 8.
spent quality time on my lower back and hips this last week. Its been a quick payback on that investment.

« on: February 24, 2016, 07:37:48 pm »The gym was closed for a week, or I probably would have played.
I feel like I play an adequate amount of basketball, but I need to cut back on work and kids.
It does seem like it limits the amount of progress I can make on lifts though. Everything is kinda a cumulative drain for me,
giving me excuses and low motivation to go get it.

body was above average today, but I got my mind straight and was able to progress a bit.
No way 20 reps was happening today though.
The past few days I put extra work into mobility. So much to workout, but the positive results sure help.

I could die happy tomorrow with your current no-pads performance, Always been in awe of your ability to grind through everything. Keep it up!
I can also knock out pistols and shrimps with ease, but 1.5bw+ on a barbell and I fall apart.

Things are feeling solid the last week. No basketball and decent sleep the last week, so I am feeling fully recovered. Been working on my mobility in my hips also.
Still doing about 150 push ups every other day with my feet raised. I need to get back into pull ups and dips.

neck tweakage is gone. Had a bit of a holiday over the last weekend.
Squats are feeling really quality lately, been getting in more mobility work then the none I have been committed to for the last 6 months.

Most mornings that I play basketball I usually do about 20 pull ups, but for some strange reason last week I tweaked my neck doing them. Not sure how that happened? Sometimes you don't realize how good you are feeling until you don't.
