Why won’t they ship to California because of prop 65? I largely ignore those stupid warnings since it seems everything can cause cancer.

Sounds like they dont want to bother with compliance.

Either they dont have a lot of California customers on the site or it's a political statement.

I've done 100 pullups today.

A month ago they were on my no-go list after all the shoulder issues, and it hurt to do even 1 (though it wasn't difficult). So I'm pretty happy with that even though I was supposed to do cleans today, and this was a lazy compromise.

Any recommendations on where to buy gym equipment? Rogue doesn’t have anything in stock and is a bit pricey. I would need something to do bench presses and maybe lat pull downs. I have a funny feeling that California is going to be the last all of all 50 states to reopen gyms.

You know people in this thread told me my shoulders would explode if I benched too much but I've been benching every other day for like 2 months and my shoulders feel great. A little tight, but overall they actually feel better than when I started.

Maybe you bench with impeccable form?

I've been suffering from a sore lower back and real spicy hip flexors and I'm wondering if it was the squats, the deadlifts, or both, that I did last week on Monday.

if you manage fatigue appropriately anything will work, from one huge bench workout a week with all the accessories to two-a-days seven days a week (doing like one set per workout lmao)

I felt pretty beat down yesterday so I didn't do anything but today I feel great. My general fatigue hasn't been a problem since I haven't been squatting, am only deadlifting babyweight, and am only jerking/ohp whatever I can muscle clean.

I mean that’s fundamentally correct

Your shoulders will explode if you bench too much, so far they haven’t, ergo you haven’t benched too much

It’s simple Greek logic you see, from philosophers past

Nah, I got an inflamed shoulder from loving up clean and jerks and then doing a strength focused SBD template where I benched 4 times a week with RPE8-9. I got rid of it with just dropping some weight and reducing the volume.
Yeah if you train like an idiot and don't plan your recovery you will surely keep a hosed up shoulder.

Please add your bench 1RMs. Cause I think it's a difference if you are stuck at 190lbs or *checks RamboeMoes log* ~380lbs.

I've tried all sorts in the 7-10 years I've had this shoulder issue. Train more, train less, don't train, get physio etc. It keeps coming back.

The 100 pullups weren't a good idea as it's pretty uncomfortable atm. But it felt good at the time, like so many terrible things.

Right now I work up to a single heavy set of 1-3 reps @9RPE and then do 3 sets with 4-5 reps where I try to hit @8RPE on the first of said sets.
For example:
2x170kg
3x4x150kg
