* old guy at gym told me how bad the upright row is to my shoulders because thats how he got injured. i just said it never bothered me, just to keep conversation quick and get back my 6ft+ distancing bubble...
* these cable upright rows i'm doing are a totally different motion compared to a barbell/dumbell. the resistance angle is very different. free weight upright rows make you pull from your feet up (all Y forces).  the cable uprights im doing is pulling from a resistance line about 3ft in front of me. im pulling up and back. lots of Y forces but definitely has an X component to it. seems to work because i can pull almost the entire weight stack routinely without injuring anything. i keep it at 160-180 most of the time to minimize fatigue to my core.

* a friend from gym recommended i check out another gym close by because they have new platforms. my 2nd workout was 12:30pm so i had time to eat and sleep. i performed a lot better because i was not as empty. the food i ate was still there. makes a big difference when im not fat.
basically the same equipment as my main gym but no elieko bar. the cable rowing goes to 200lbs so i'm happy with the rowing. can only go 180 because i start getting pulled up at 190

* at 24hr fitness
* the squat setup felt very good as expected. elieko bar and a very forgiving floor. could have 440 already in the morning at this 196lb bw.  too bad i only get to reserve one 1-hr session a day. lifting at my other gym in the afternoon.

afternoon
Squats315-365-405, 405-405-405x1
Rows bw chins neutral 5-5

* at fitness 19
* went gym hoping and tried another commercial gym close by but this one is not limited to a 1-hr only session. very new equipment but the elieko bar in 24hr is enough to keep me there. the life fitness cable pulldowns only go 2:1 and i can't do my rowing because of lack of weight. the 2:1 only maxes at 50lb effective. will go 24hr fitness again trmw for my main workout and do my rowing and abs on the little gym. the decline bench i tried at this gym for my ab work has a lifted foot support which totally screws up the pulling action when you are nearing the top ROM of the situp. feels like it disables some strong hip muscles and i can't finish the rep properly. legs have to be curled down like a leg extension. can't complain. gyms opening now.

* got another per month membership on a smaller commercial gym fitness19 thats also 10mins away. the smith there has a fat bar and it threw me off a little but both commercial gyms now have a wood platform which makes it a lot more comfortable to squat on. the 24hr has a 1-hr time limit. people losing their patience because some dont let others work in because of the covid.

happy father's day, your kid is cute as hell

thank you. baby Leo knows the squat command and does a rep or two when i say it. lol. perfect form with no shoes, also sips a spoon or two of whey protein for more gains.  :strong:

pic taken 6 months with all the baby cuteness still in tact. quads are solid already. does stair crawling workouts daily.

* felt strong on the squats and decided to go 315x10. i could have done 425 today but still don't feel like doing very heavy on this setup. the lack of bar knurl is messing with my form. if i explode very quickly at the hole from the pause, the bar rolls out of position. wanted to bring my own center knurled bar but all sources are still out of supply.

accumeasure caliper at 5mm (8%BF). 196lb. added progress pic because next week will be the 8th week of the leaning down. il slowly go up to maintenance calories again ~ 2700-2900kcal. cant find a good before pic but this one looks like im really bloated. posing with mini-me

* gym owner explained to me that the spiral handles attachment hit the back better because it disengages your arms by taking your little two fingers out of the gripping. i can see how that helps but didn't know from all the years i spent doing rows that a simple grip modification makes so much difference. rowing to target the right muscles is a lot more complicated than the squat.
* also found a way to use a 1:1 weight stack using the latpulldown instead of the cable crossover station for my rows.

* removed cardio. bw steady at 194-196 so i started eating a little more rice. felt very good and added a little backoff 315x3. the double arm rowing i'm doing is using a spiralstrength grip and it also feels very good on the mid back contraction. grip is awesome too.
