You need to be 110 lbs to be cut at 6'3.

Proven undeniable FACT!

Not a dunk but VC jumping for a block... wasn't a maximal jump either.

WTF, at that low weight? Maybe the bench you're using has no cushioning...

Anyway, what kind of soreness did you feel immediately after doing them? If it felt in the lowerback then you're not keeping the lowerback pressed and neutral (if you have anterior pelvic tilt you might find actually using the glutes during the hip thrust a hard thing to do).

Damn, the paused leg press calf raises were that bad in terms of generating soreness? Or was it that + the basketball game?

I read somewhere that after 47 minutes the cortisol level starts to build up pretty fast so...

source? sounds dubiously specific.

That's correct. "Dubiously" is the right way of describing that number. Who knows what the reality is? It definitely depends on the person but...

Well, that sucks. :/ I guess I need to look into ways to restrict cortisol release. Off I go.

Try jerking off in the gym. Then you have another 47 minutes available.

Haha so how did the hip thrust go? For me, having a big butt and stuff, doing hip thrusts with plates lower than 45 lbs is pretty much impossible since I can't fit under the bar. By the way - make sure you SERIOUSLY pad the bar if you don't want to be in serious hip pain.

I took Maalox... what's that doing? Took it for stomach pain.

Um... that's not a roman chair. I have no idea how it's called but it's not.

I took about 1 hour to 1 hour and a half, but that includes changing my clothes/shoes and stretching so... probably more like 50 minutes to a hour of effective working out and resting in between sets.
