Tim’s Gym GV
Just for fun
Sometimes I need every square inch in Tim’s Gym.
3rd of 3 sets.
Today. Some beltless, strapless sumos, kb swings and sandbags.
Today’s giant set. Creaky back seems to like the reverse hypers so have been doing them a lot lately.
Banded dead lifts. KB swings. Not sure what the halo variation is called. And got a new toy. I have always wanted to add jumping rope to my workouts but my version involves loves a lot of tripping. And swearing. And the ceiling in my basement presents additional challenges. Recently learned about cordless jump ropes!
Bar path check. 315 squat with DIY weight releasers. 365 eccentric and 315 on the way back up.
Finisher 225 for 15 with the slingshot.
Weight releasers. 325 on the first negative. 265 for 4. Working my way back to 315.
Some 100 lb DB rows in bench day.
Love the slingshot when the shoulders don’t feel quite right. 225 for 15.
Need to get the heart rate up more.
Slingshot bench. 275 for 6. 30 days till my 59th and want to hit 315 again.
Today’s giant set. 100 lb incline dumbbell press. 225lb Pendlay rows. And some slams.
Pain is a sign your body needs a change. You should NOT have pain in your low back after heavy deadlifts or squats. Unfortunately I hear time and time again, athletes believe this is a “normal” response to the back muscles working hard during these lifts when in reality it’s often a sign you’re not staying optimally braced & using your hips appropriately!
Pain is also NOT soreness. I need to make this very clear. Muscle soreness, unlike pain, will almost always get better after warming up well. Sore muscles is a natural process of training and normal for your full body to feel sore after a heavy training session. If a proper warm up can decrease and eliminate your symptoms, you’re not in pain. You can keep training hard. You’re just sore.
If have low back pain or an intense low back pump after deadlifting isolated to the low back - be sure to check out my YouTube vid with “How to fix low back pumps when lifting.”
