I am finally back to posting. My laptop had to be repaired and I tried posting with my phone but it was way too much of a pain in the ass. Not much has happened since I last posted anyways. I had to take about two weeks off because I had a nasty respiratory infection. As long as my laptop holds up I will posting again, unfortunately the computer guy said the laptop can't be fixed again without needing to replace the mother board. Right now I can't justify getting a new laptop unless I get one of them little net books.
Training update, I restarted the 5/3/1 program ahead of scheduled. I did modify the deadlift day to just be a higher volume squat/hip thrust day. I don't feel my lowback/hips are healthy enough right now for deadlifts. Right now I am using only 100-135 pounds for the hip thrusts. I am waiting for my hips to become stronger and more flexible. I am going to let my hip thrust numbers climb for awhile until I add deadlifts back into the program. I struggle to keep good form with 135 for 3 sets of 10 reps. Here's what real strong hip thrusts look like
I also bought a pair of Merrell barefoot training shoes. Learning about the human body and how it works from massage school has me convinces that modern day living is causes most of our aches and pains. Modern day living means sitting in nice cushion chairs, wearing built up shoes, doing the same activities over and over causing overuse injuries and poor posture. My feet and ankles have always been weak. I am going to try this barefoot style for awhile because orthotics have failed me. I even had a pair from a doctor but they only do some much for my flat feet.
My training for today
Deadlift Cycle 1/5s week
Barbell Hip Thrusts 135 x 10,10,10
Manta Ray Squats 135 x 10,10,10
Called it a day after that felt too lazy to do anything else.
