Zedhed's challenge!

[burnthiscorpse]

I saw a video with a guy getting a broom stick and holding it in front of him then snapping it behind his back to stretch his shoulders... It looks painful... Kinda scared to try that

You dont snap it bro...just rotate nice and easy. That is a great stretch/strengthening tool. BUT....just use a fitness band not a broom stick. The fitness band will allow your shoulders to move as they need to with added resistance pulling them apart. Wont be so akward. Blue or black fitness band is fine.

You dont snap it bro.
I used to do that with a towel. I feel the towel is better cuz its not rigid.
Then you just rotate it slowly over your head and behind your back. Only go as far as is comfortable or you can fuck youself up bigtime.

Tried doing it and it gives me a sharp pain in the palm of my left hand. Damn that hurts

Super fucking stoked about today's workout! Last time I benched it was 105 and I had a lot of struggle on the last set of 5x5. Today I easily pumped out 115 for 5x5! New PR! Also went from 115 on squat to 125 and bent over rows from 75 to 85 and easily pumped those out! Again thanks zed for this awesome program! Super stoked to see my progress in 6 months! My goal is to get up to 225 on bench for 5x5 and 350 on squat 5x5!

Hey man you'll make solid progress for a few months but keep in mind, progress isn't always linear. Just dropping in to say that so you don't get discouraged if for a week or two the weight isn't budging like it is now.

 

[Bsdr]

Yeah I know. I don't get easily discouraged. But I never settle for less than I could or should be doing

Hey bro super happy for you but your only to be adding in inc- rements of 5 lbs. Want you to stick to the program. And dont get discouraged if you get stalled out. We do have plans for that.

Blah 5 pounds just doesn't seem like enough :/ I struggled a lot on my last set for 105 but managed to do the 115 on all sets fairly easy. Is it ok to go up ten pounds until it becomes too much?

And yes I read the whole ebook on the program. I read up how to get past your stalling points. It's nifty

Nah the whole point is to regularly have progressive overload- the more you jump up, more likely you are to stall- that's why some guys have micro plates- like 1lb plates- muscle have reason to grow if you press 150 this week for 3x8 n next week you press 152 for 3x8.
