Abducted by robots

What's the occasion? Ethical, health, voodoo?

Little bit of column A, B and C. Hardest part so far is not getting lumped together with the shrieking, flannel-shirt wearing harpies. Might start up another diet log.

Brickwalled at 190. Probably my upper back and lats that are lacking in activation so that my lower back has to take all the slack. Gotta revamp my setup and cues.

Band pullaparts

For some reason I seem to have forgotten abdominal tension for quite a while during the squats, alongside the upper back. Probably due to focusing too much on my hips and medial glutes.

Landmine swings

Good stuff, adapting seemingly well to the diet!

Nostalgia took me back to Limp Bizkit starting a few weeks ago; I've discovered plenty of quality in the musical department, and owe them a lot given how Sam Rivers' custom Warwick Streamer Stage I with red LED fret markers was the coolest thing I'd seen, which inspired me to start playing. Wes Borland's also an oddly intriguing guitarist with plenty of individual quirks that I'm just starting to pick up on now that I've played guitar for a while.

Cue: make a point to BURY the bar in your palms!! A lot of the slack in my back comes from a shallow grip - the same way my upper back tension is the foundation for a stable platform in the squat, proper lat and upper back tension is the foundation for a stable pull.
