Get Shredded!
I prefer the seated hamstring curl personally. Just gotta be sure the initial movement into contraction from fully stretched isn't fast or jerky... You lose a ton of tension for a good portion of the lift if you're jerking the weight from the stretch position and, we like harder

Makes me think I’m doing that a bit too Sammy, I’ll have to watch it next time. I have noticed that if grab them handles in front and pull myself forward so as to not let my back rest on the backrest, I can do about 20 more LBs, but I’m assuming that’s bad form? What you think mont?

Some claim more hammy activation/stretch that way but I dunno.

Alright alright. I've had a few things goin on with docs and shit(nothing serious really) that's just had me mad and stressed out plus started a new work schedule that's been kinda hard to adjust to. Damn near got kicked out gym last week too lol. Actually tried to cancel but that fat fuck of a manager needs the money since so many people done been ran off. Some dude never saw before asked me to turn off my music cause he ain't wanna hear cussing lol and he didn't like my response so called upstairs and had employee come down who I cussed out and eventually threatened along with the snitch caller. He's kinda big dude and likely intimidates people(prolly 25-30lb bigger than me at least) and used to getting his way so did not like whenji told him what a bitch made pussy he was in front of his friend neither of which did a single rep thru my whole squat workout. My partner said he was even gonna call the cops after I left till he got talked out of it. ANYWAYS, I'm switching my training just a little bit to accommodate new schedule but sticking to the fortitude principles as best as I can cause I love the muscle rounds and frequency. I'm afraid each muscle twice a week is gonna have to do for now tho. I'll be regular on my log from now on too so......

The world is full of idiots my friend. At least you were composed enough not to knock him upside the head with a weight.
Hope all goes well with the health. Keep on keepin on brother.

Yea, hate to admit it but if he'd grew a pair and stood up or said something remotely threatening I would've. Kinda lost my temper

No it's same one just upstairs part. Fuck them. The manager wouldn't cancel me so imma go play music like everyother day and do my thing or he can cancel my contract. Not letting one stranger asshole fuck my whole life up. I love that dirty basement of a gym

That’s the right attitude! He isn’t worth thinking about ! Jackasses everywhere so you just tuck him away during exercises! Most mgmt teams are great but , every once in a while you get a negative cancer and guess what ? It will go poorly for him in his near future ! Only good people last ! Very true statement! I wish I was the owner , you know what I’d do ! ! He’d be @ 7-11 quicker than lightning serving Slurpees! Have a great Wednesday!

Me tryna work the "kink" out my elbow and forearm. Dunno if it'll show up on video but couldn't get quite down to chest on incline smith today either
I can't see it from the side.

We need to go back over your training....... Your split looks funky.. I know you were going to adjust for work but, I think you might have strayed a bit far...post it here so I don't have to go through the log lol m

LaCrosse ball or a massage gun and start hammering the fuck out of the forearm and Tricep... If your rom is limited that much from any type of pain it's most likely an impingement that can be worked out thru tissue work.

Are you doing any type of Tricep warm up before these sets?

Everyday, aside from leg days, I do light cable laterals, rev cable flies, and on any pressing days light rope pressdowns.
