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!
So was the injury in the chest area?0 -

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! 😊❤️
Well done ...See I told you ...you were a bada$$ ...I am so inspired by you

Thanks so much! I will do my best! So glad you're a part of this thread, I appreciate you!kinetixtrainer2 wrote: »
Nice lifts and camera skills 😏
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’ve switched from a volume routine to a strength routine but the lifts are basically the same. I’m enjoying the heavier lifts though.1 -

This is what I lifted yesterday. So far from where I was before...
This looks like decent strength to me.1 -

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.2 -

Sounds like a sufficient reason to start believing
I’ve seen some guys get similar injuries during combatives.0 -

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!0 -

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! 😁0 -

Yes!!! It took me time and some help from @kinetixtrainer2 😂. Use GIPHY to turn your video to a gif, click upload to GIPHY, then select the gif, then the little paper airplane below the gif, select copy gif link. Then when you post it on here add [ img ] and [ /img ] (without the spaces between the brackets) on the left and right side of the url.2 -
In order to write down step by step instructions I had to make one 🤣 so here you go... 195 x 5, I’m 122 my overall squat PR thus far is 210, hoping to get 220 in the next few months.

@jennacole12
You. Are. A. Beast!
When I grow up, I wanna be like you! 😁
I just did the math... I'd have to be able to squat 287x5...
Yep, I'm never growing up! 😂
Seriously... You are so amazing!0 -

Not going to lie you have some insane strength. I can hold my own in the gym, but I'm seriously jealous! Keep it up you're doing AMAZING things!
Sidenote: Do you like the knee wraps? I've been debating buying some but always get mixed feelings.
Anyway keep it up!0 -

Ahh thank you ☺️ I actually was in body building prep when quarantine started and my comp got canceled. I was so sad I switched over to power lifting and now I’m hooked 😂
Have you tried knee sleeves! I bet it would boost your numbers a bit!3 -

Thank you!!! I freaking love them! But only for a PR and I will warn you idk how one would wrap them themself, my coach has to do it bc it requires a lot of strength... idk if it would be as effective if I attempted them on my own. For my own PR attempts without him I 1. Never go as high 2. always use my belt and compression knee sleeves.2 -
