Started back on nSuns last night. Going from 5 sets to 9 is rough, but I’ll pick the volume back up quick.

Thinking about picking up a new bench I found on Craigslist. What do you guys think?

I hit a huge 30lb PR on cleans the other day for 185.. I caught it really high though and I know I have some lbs left in the tank if I keep working on technique and getting under the bar. That's really motivating..I wanna hit technique work hard. That's one fun part of Oly lifts, I can PR while in a calorie deficit as my technique improves.

I wouldn’t trust that bench.

That looks like a human sized mousetrap.

It looks like it would be painful... but pain is just weakness leaving the body.

At $25 it's a steal!

It looks like the kind of thing you'd see laying around a DIY Eastern European sex dungeon.

Heavy squats tonight. Singles at 350.

Followed with some farmers walking and grip and neck work.

Honest question. Why would you do neck work? What’s the end game or goal for that?

I have a slight degenration in a disc, probably from an old football injury.

I can do light, controlled neck stuff to keep my muscles strong and try to keep damage minimized or risk futher degenration and spinal surgery. Spinal surgery is about a dicey an operation as you get, so it's an easy choice.

Heavy today. 4 single benches above 90%. 2 deadlift singles above 90%. Some platform dead work and then 3 giant sets of weighted pushups, GHR's and board press.

Did some tabata, alternating between sandbag cleans with 250 pounder and sledgehammer swings.

I think I may need a deload. I feel pretty beaten up.

Man your squats are getting back up there. Good to see.

Do you feel like the emom is helping the power cleans?

Neck work is done because a strong yoke is a health yoke. A strong neck makes you stronger and more resistant against sudden jolts therefore less likely to get a concussion or getting knocked out.

Usually should be done frequent with high reps and progressing very slowly. Submaximal daily work is best.

I don't do daily, but everything is submaximal, slow and fully under control.

I'm trying to keep strength enough to fend off surgery at any point, nothing more. It's been good and prevented degeneration so far and I've been working through the disc issue since at least late high school.

If it means a scalpel never touches my spine, that's all I need.

I would have gone further on squats, but Holiday food throws me off. I like the emom a lot. Focus on being explosive.
