Not quite ready to be this size again
BigRif circa 1995 ( Big Chief Jim McGoldrick sorting his wraps )
Solid session. Warmed up quite a bit but it was no problem. The entire 18 minutes was strong and I didn't look at the clock til half past 11 minutes. I was able to maintain high power output for each rep and set.
Left lat attachment at ilium started to talk to me with right hand swings. I brought my left in closer and that seemed to make a big difference. this has been talking to me on speed days for a few weeks so it was good to get it sorted. Or at least I think I did.
Doesn't bother me with heavy weight, just the high volume.
Speed swings

this is so weird. About 2800 cals yesterday and very low carbs but something must have switched in my metabolism cause the weight won't drop and I'm not willing to train lighter or eat much less. Gotta fuel my life and my training. Not to mention my sanity
I do believe it's mostly upper body muscle but, wow.

"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Change in season affecting your weight perhaps, or stress response to something? In any event you are a beast embrace it!
naw, it started happening the last 8 weeks or more. I'm growing and that's cool but I'm not going up a belt size,thats for sure. I can't embrace that :) just gotta count cals. I'm done for the day right now, 2400. should be enough. but I want more which tells me I've been eating too much.
I'm 60 too so things do slow down.
but thanks man, I am happy with my strength and power and endurance, that's for sure
