I would like to start on my shoulder but it's hard to know exactly where to inject. More of a broad type pain.
I've seen people use a chip bag clip and create a fold of skin between the delt/bicep not very far from your underarm area. I've also seen a youtube video where the guy just spikes it into his delt like a mad man. Just some ideas.

In other news I am taking the day off early from working out. Planned on breaking tomorrow but I tweaked something last night that I think will be fine in a day or two. Getting old sucks. So I've got Day 19 and this entire week to finish which will take me into next week.

I’ve gotta be honest though I am starting to get a bit of shoulder and elbow tweakage.
Working out for first time in 7 days was a little taxing on the system lol. Hate that I am behind as I want to finish the program, see what increase in bench I have, and move on to some programming to address two specific activities I enjoy as hobbies.
I cannot say I am a fan of these tricep pushups. I'd rather get tricep work in other ways and I feel like even though I try to mimick the example given, that I am working more of my shoulders than I should be.

re: Record number of LSU applicants, most from out of state
Posted by rmc on 2/17/26 at 7:53 am to Jim Rockford
My experience with a kid who just started college this past fall - LSU could give a shite if your in state kid goes to school there. They have tops. That’s LSU’s entire pitch.
My kid goes to another SEC school and just about every SEC school was more interested in my kid than LSU.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong but that’s how LSU is these days. Maybe every school does the same - goes hard on out of state kids.

If they don’t I’ll get it a little later tonight in my wind down time.
re: Pre Workout Breakfast Suggestions
Posted by rmc on 2/13/26 at 11:59 am to LSUMaverick
I don't usually eat pre workout if I am working out shortly after I wake up which is 90% of my workouts. I know that's not conventional wisdom. FWIW, Gary Brecka suggests you be slightly fasted, with some essential amino acids. Which I've always heard EAAs/BCAAs as a supplement aren't doing a whole lot unless you have a weird diet.
I did the first option for both bench and dead. I set out to do that but didn't firm up that decision until I got the 4th rep on the 1st set done.
I am going to be out of town until next Thursday and will probably not have access to a gym that is practical while gone. Going to keep the body moving with a calisthenic workout each day, and where I am going 10,000 steps a day is required. This will back me up and I will have to probably finish the program in the first week or March.

I’m looking for some guidance on which plans are more time-consuming vs which are more streamlined? Or even just about how long it took you to finish an average workout from any given program? I love the style but sometimes really get stuck at the gym forever.
Right now he is programming Benchuary. 2 weeks in and if I've had a workout over 55 minutes its been because I walked on a treadmill for 20 for cardio.
I ran FOTH and Oak Tree Remastered. Both of these usually, but not always took me over 1 hour to complete probably 90 minutes on some days depending on how much I rested between sets.

Behind the back wristcurls are one option. Do it with BB or ez bar. I suppose you could also do it with DBs.

I won't get into some of the other topics re this thread but I can tell you that the ZHS baseball coach is a good coach - one of the best in the area for HS coaches. ZHS has had the good fortune of him staying in that position. There is significant coordination between him and the middle school. I'm biased because he is a personal friend.
This workout put a hurting on me. For getting the workout in, in an orderly and timely fashion purposes I switched super sets to be 2A/3A and 2B/2B/Farmer's carry. Probably my issue.

re: The NFL Chose to Focus on Hispanic Populations, and Away from Traditional Conservatives

It’s completely illogical. Why would you have to alienate any demographics by pushing unpopular politics? Are young Hispanics really not going to watch the NFL unless they push dripping left wing political agendas? That’s absurd.
You raise a good question. I don't know. I've got a relative who is married to a Puerto Rican. This is obviously anecdotal. Some of them in the 20 year old/30 year old generation couldn't wait to see the halftime show.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here and saying I don't think enough whites are turning it off to matter. I think the money is still enough.

Imagine convincing yourself that in 20 years, the NFLs fan base will be mostly queer Latinos and their allies.
RFK needs to take a lap.
I think you should look at it from this standpoint - will enough straight male conservative whites give it up to matter if they are pulling in all of those Hispanics?
And look, I'm on your side of things.

I have seen weeks of outrage and confusion on the Bad Bunny choice, but it was always crystal clear to me:
The NFL’s choice to have Bad Bunny perform at halftime, in a dress, entirely in a foreign language, is proof to Conservatives that the NFL consciously does not care about losing their viewership, because:
1. They make up a negligible part of the revenue stream (more importantly the projected revenue stream over the next 10-20 years).
and/or
2. They don’t believe Conservatives will actually tune out/stop spending money on the NFL.
Many of my friends “boycotted” the halftime show, but tuned into every second of each half. The NFL obviously did a risk assessment and decided they don’t care about losing the small group that tuned into the Turning Point show (or didn’t watch anything for 30 min.)
The future of revenue is in Spanish speaking communities. Caucasians (the majority of Conservative voices) are already a minority in 8 of the 50 states, and will be a minority in 34 of the states within one more generation.
Goodell is playing the long game.
This is a good analysis of it IMO. Caucasian birth rates in this country are down and will continue to go down. Immigration is/was up from Spanish speaking countries. NFL says - we have all the Caucasians we are going to reasonably get - some MIGHT turn the channel at halftime. What's the next market we can go after hard? That is easy to answer. Hispanics.
And to be honest, at some point you can't continue to be mad at the NFL. The market is what it is. White's are not having kids, aka new future consumers.
