    🤞🏻 I did it right..... after editing 6 x I finally got it!!! 🤣

    @kinetixtrainer2 I got it! Thank you 😁

    Awesome job! :smiley:

    Isn't that guy to the right filming you as well? :smirk:

    Haha! Yes he was! But he’s one of my coaches so he’s allowed, otherwise the clip would have been me knocking him out 🤜🏻😝

    No new lifts from me for a couple more days. Somehow dislocated a rib/cartilage in sternum and have been asked to take it easy.

    So I’m throwing it back to my first pr attempt at what looks like 225... Crazy how progressive overload works over time. 2 more days and I can get back in to gym and push some weight again.

    😬 That doesn't sound like fun at all. I hope you feel better! Nice lift 👍

    Oh man, so sorry to hear this! That must have hurt big time! 😔. Hope it feels better soon!

    Hope you feel better man. I’d be interested in knowing what caused that injury.

    Haha thanks C. Felt like the same old angle was getting kind of boring, so I'd switch it up!

    BTW... Don't you think it's time for another round of gifs, hmmm? 😁

    I wish I knew. All I know is I woke up out of a deep sleep in some discomfort. It escalated to being bad enough I couldn't sleep. Figured I did something to my back because it just radiated around my whole body. So I went to the Chiro ASAP to see if that would sort it out. Nothing was wrong with the back so some x-ray's later and an adjustment that felt like being hit in the chest by a sledgehammer it all just went away. Stood up feeling 100% (other than feeling like I was hit with the sledgehammer.)

    My only guess is I was rough housing with the kids the night before which may have caused it or falling asleep while watching TV the night it happened. I didn't even go to the gym. I wish I knew so I could avoid it. All I know is I can get back to it tomorrow and I can't wait!

    Isn't it crazy how that happens? Here we are... Lifting heavy, killing it... And then BOOM the simplest of actions knocks down. The last time I hurt my shoulder... It was reaching across my body and trying to pull a blanket across me that my cat was sleeping on! LIKE, C'MON, REALLY?

    Ugh that sucks! Muscle memory is a beautiful thing though! Start slow going back and hopefully you’ll be PR’ing again soon!!!!

    Still fabulous, and you'll be back where you left off, quickly!

    Awww thank you! Tall and long limbed does not work as efficiently for heavy lifting. Lol.

    I'll never break any class records, but I still love feeling stronger that I was! I hope to have quads as impressive as yours one day! 😊❤️

    I’ve switched from a volume routine to a strength routine but the lifts are basically the same. I’m enjoying the heavier lifts though.

    Yeah. The adjustment was right side lower rib close to the sternum. The more I think about it maybe I did it when I was doing pendlay rows. Might have pulled something lighter and bounced it off chest and didn’t notice and it took a couple days of movement that made it worse/noticeable.

    I’m not a huge fan of chiropractors as I haven’t had great luck with some of them but my wife swears by this one and I’ve seen them a couple of times. I’m not full blown believer but whatever she did helped significantly.

    Sounds like a sufficient reason to start believing


    I’ve seen some guys get similar injuries during combatives.

    I can imagine 😂 at least you never have to do this 👇🏻 I literally have to climb and modify gym equipment daily 🙄 we’re completely opposite 🤣

    I had started a response and I get got distracted before I saved.

    LOL yes we have height related issues but on opposite ends for sure. For example... I can't do standing ohp in my house because none of my ceilings are high enough. Haha.

    I also cannot find anything tall enough to allow me to do a full hang chinup. I hung a bar outside and even that is too low. (plus I will NOT go out when it's cooler than sweater weather lol)

    And for the record... Your back is gorgeous!

    This was a heavy 330lbs. I currently weight 155. Depth felt good.

    If you're adding a gif, it appears that it'll only work through the web browser version.

    Awesome weight to bodyweight ratio! Hope to see it soon! 😁
