I bruised my thigh doing barbell rows this morning. Painful, but a more central row would have been catastrophic. Guess I should be glad my left side failed before my right.
I’m trying to picture how you managed to do that and I can’t.

it was pretty astounding to me too. i was doing light weight to failure and the left side went weak first, so that rep was pulled to the right pretty violently and mashed my thigh with the bar.

Ah ok. Nice work!
Also you’re nearing 40, do we really need to be doing stuff til failure? I’ve stopped maxing out, focusing more on upping my 4-5 rep weight.

i feel like the light weight to failure is a really good mix of cardio and weight every once in a while. i do it one day a week and rotate it around the schedule. you are correct that as a 40 year old, if i can't do something without injuring myself i probably should cut it out. Definitely don't max anymore, i like doing a 5x5 here and there on bench/squats just to see how far behind thecheese i am.
i have not 'worked out' in well over 20 years...i like to think i am active, but riding a bike and skiing and chasing kids is not the same as pushing weight around...i started with calisthenics and could not do 10 push ups/squats/crunches. the squats were the most embarrassing, i was really struggling to push my massive self up from the bottom, like shaking, and then my titties and gut were jiggling at the top of the motion. bad idea being in front of a mirror on day one.
i guess being formerly athletic helped because it came back very quickly at first, was able to bang out 10 of each without struggling, then added a 2nd set and a 3rd, and then i got cocky and started doing jumping jacks between sets after 2-3 weeks and strained my calf doing fatass jumping jacks which is the 2nd most embarrassing thing that has happened. i've been hobbled with a strained calf and we opened a new store this week which has me working 12 hour days, but i got a 20lb kettle and a set of 25lb dumbells and a jump rope and i'll prolly get a bench soon.
i know i can't outlift/outrun my fork ad that is where need to get better...trying to be conscious of carbs, especially late at night

On the bright side, if you do contain the diet the weight flies off when you've got the workout solidly in your routine. The frustrating part is when you're close, the last 10 lbs feels like old debt. Nothing you do makes it go away

I think Biden is supposed to make that go away in early 2021.

i am 6-1, 210. my heaviest was 232. the 20 came off as soon as i stopped the desk job, no effort whatsoever.
So I’ve been doing 5x5 on the big compound lifts for the past month or so. Really liking it so far, especially since I’m always lifting alone obviously. Do t have to worry about maxing out and all that. Plus it’s simple. Good stuff.
I didn't see this the first go round, very funny. However, I'm going to have to throw a flag on this whole setup due to the 45 minute eye makeup job she did before taping. Though I guess that would explain why the time tag is 6 am when she got up at 5.
Workout update: I have added in 100 shoulder tap shups as my warmup before lifting. 5x20 1 min breaks. Been a week and it's already pretty significant in the core/shoulders.
