Are you using a harness for neck curls?

Are you using a harness for neck curls?

Nah, just lying supine with plates held to my head.

I have a neck wrap and a harness, but the velcro doesn't cooperate with my hair and I haven't been too motivated to figure out a workaround. Maybe a headband or a do-rag or something would help.

The harness has hooks for cables, but since my cable setup is a bit more primitive than what would be found on a dedicated machine with a proper stack, I've only used it sparingly.

You look pretty otherworldly in that lighting. Kind of awesome, especially the eyes.

[Clearwater47]

Yeah, watching that video makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong by not lifting outside in the dark. Such an awesome environment to lift in!

It did seem to help elevate an otherwise pretty mediocre lift!

Those damn mosquitoes might change your mind. They were hungry!

Dude. The last two years at this time we were in downtown Baton Rouge, so I didn’t realize the extent of the swarm. We’re out in the burbs now and holy shit. I take walks at night and in the right light I can see even the blacktop just covered in them. How long is this gonna go on? We moved here in May last year and while of course there were mosquitos in the backyard as the day wore on, it was nothing even close to this.

Also, sweet bench PRs. You’ve got me, in every rep range, by 40 lbs. Makes me want to try all of these different movements that you do, and gaf about overhead press. Grumble grumble.

Mosquito Abatement claims the numbers right now are on par with the average for this time of year.

I don't remember seeing so many of these huge motherfuckers last year around this time, and I wonder if all the wet weather a few weeks back has something to do with it.

There were bats overhead while I was deadlifting, so hopefully they're all out and about to help thin the herd.

Thanks.

There was a guy I used to see at one of the Y locations nearby when I was starting out years ago. He would warm up with sets of 10 at 275. Never knew his name -- we'd just nod to each other at most -- but my unofficial nickname for him was "Meathead Billy Corgan" (I never called him that to his face).

I hope to make Billy proud one day and complete a set of ten. Maybe even play "1979" to commemorate.
