Workout: What did you do today?

[DJChameleon]

I'm gearing up to hit the gym everyday for a week to make up for the days that I was sick and didn't go.

I'm technically two days in already but my normal weekends off won't be happening.

[Guybrush]

How is your bumhole doing mate? Hope you're feeling better.

I was a little worried for a while as it was feeling a little wonky and out of sorts, but now it's alright.

Thanks for asking the ass king!

I also pulled something in my left shoulder / neck yesterday doing modified candlesticks. Gods dangit. It hurts when I turn my head right. Or left.

Also did inverted rows and 8 sets or so of incline bench press.

My GF was training to be able to do pull-ups for the past few months with banded pull ups and general back training and now she tested her ability to do a proper one without assistance and was surprisingly able to do two clean pull ups right away. I'm super proud of her.

Well done to Mrs G.

That's more than most men.

Tell her Big J from off the Internet congratulated her.

How are all my fellow roiders getting on?

I found a piece of paper with my lifts on it from when I started in 2020. Baby weights.

I haven't been in the gym all week. Trying to get used to this new work schedule I have. On the plus side though, I am getting mad steps in. I walk for about 3 hours and a half 4 days a week.

[Guybrush]

I'm still working out, pretty much doing the same things.

A week ago, I was back at this gym nearby for the first time since November or so and they have a hack squat machine that I'd tried for fun back then. I tried it again with the same weights I did back then and I crushed it. So I assume I'd do fine with 3 X 12 X 80 kg as well on that smith machine I was doing before. Would be nice to try.

How sore do you guys get from squats? I assumed when I'd work out more regularly the soreness would decrease but not at all. On the third day after squats I wake up and can barely walk. I also get a ton of soreness in my adductors and it's not like I use a super wide stance, it's around shoulder width. Not complaining, just wondering.

[jimmy jazz]

Not the day after but the one after that is usually the worst but it's bearable. I'd say 5/10 on the domsometer.

[DJChameleon]

Yeah I tend to feel it more on day 2 or 3 afterwards more so than the day right after.

[grindy]

I'm not so much surprised about the delay, that's just the D in DOMS, but that I get them in my adductors and that I get them so strongly at all on an exercise that isn't that stretch focused (although I do go quite deep).

[Guybrush]

I don't get much doms from the squats in the 20 rep range, but in the 8-12 rep range it's a lot. More so than any other exercise I've done regularly.

[grindy]

Well, looks like my elbow is acting up once again. This seems to happen whenever I try to focus on heavier bench pressing.
So looks like I'll only be training legs for the next week or so.

What's it feel like? Is it the tendon in the elbow? I get pain in my right elbow if I do skullcrushers either too frequently or too heavy. Shame because they're such a good exercise.
