Hello HST folks. So, that was rather a longer time away from these shores than anticipated. I've had lots of family health stuff to deal with (not mine for a change). I'm hoping the storm may have settled for a while. In the past month I have been able to get back to some lifting and I'm...

Just done a bit of catching up on your log after a lengthy absence. Well done, that man! Some great recovery training. And now PRs in your squats and a plan to squat 6 days a week, which is obviously very pleasing to my ears, virtually speaking. Rock on.

Good grief, Tim! Very sorry to hear about this but very glad you are all alive. It could have been so much worse. All the very best to you and your family as you travel along the healing road together. Speedy recovery!

Thought this was pretty impressive and a good demo of Good Mornings

The fact that you can make 15 bodyweight chins and say they were easy (V-grips or otherwise), and then repeat the process for a second set, is really quite impressive. It makes me wonder if you might manage a single-arm chin if you did a bit of training for it.

This may not help at all but have you tried using straps for rows and chins? Might reduce the forearm pain enough to allow you to keep doing them.

How are you figuring out relative quad and ham involvement? Are you going by subsequent fatigue? Also, did you see Candito's world record DL attempt t'other day? It was live on YT. He was lifting traditional-style a while back but now seems to favour sumo, presumably because he can lift more...

Clean & strict press competition as part of Klokov's recent Power Weekend. Awesome!

Thanks for GM advice, Jester. Are you deloading on the pins or is it more of a static hold under load? All the best with your 280 attempt too!

Thanks Tim. Feels like I'm spinning wheels more often than not due to other commitments but the occasional PR of some kind is always welcome. 50 and still kicking. :)

205! Great result, Mick. PR's are even sweeter at 50. How was it? Smooth or grindy?

Can you recommend a vid that shows GMs the way you do them? Is the exrx.net example what you do? How about bar positioning? Low on scaps or high on traps? http://exrx.net/WeightExercises/GluteusMaximus/BBBentKneeGoodMorning.html
