Decided to bend some stuff today
5/16″ X 7″ CRS: All single thin beat up leather, no chalk, no bands, none of the other sissy shit people are trying to pull bending these days.
- 1 Bar Double overhand, really easy
- 2 Bars Double Under hand
- 1 Bar reverse
horseshoe, biggest shoes I get locally are DC1s (sad) but they are now really easy to heart. I have bent less then 6 shoes in the last 9 months. I am ordering some thick DC5′s this week.

Plate curl with my thin 25- 110 reps in 10 minutes
Thats it. I will need to rest tomorrow. My tendons will be pissed from all the steel bending. For the record bending does not test well, but it is part of my deal.

I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas waiting for the coaching call I signed up for. So excited to learn about testing my exercises.
I’ve seen how a movement can test well twice a day, once before I do it and the second time after several hours from doing it first time. This has happened with both my regular training and rehab work, but very rarely. Why does it happen?
Tomas, there are days when I have done 5 or 6 mini training sessions just because everything I do during the day affects everything else and suddenly things are testing well, or they’re testing well again. As long as the PRs keep coming, I don’t worry about frequency too much.
Is movement supposed to only test well once a day?
Probably not. I wish this happened a lot more frequently.
Peter,
You will learn a TON in your call with Adam. Long live deadlifts and metal music! Great combo.
Adam, how dare you do something that does not test well–hahaha!
Everyone has the option to do things that don’t test well, but you better be prepared for the cost.
Cya later tonight Adam.
Rock on

Funnily enough, I’m glad you made the last comment about it not testing well, because I was going to ask if you’d seen much change in how often bending tests well. I think previously you said it tested okay about every 12-14 days or so, right? No change in that?
I find a lot of things (or just movement in general) test so much better when I’ve just been talking about training that it’s ridiculous. I can be tired and hungry and stiff, but if I talk training theory and experiments for a few minutes with someone and get excited about it THEN hit the weightroom, goddamn the results are different!
I pulled two doubles of my previous Double Over Deadlift 1RM in 2mins yesterday, then a new reps/set record at another weight, all inside a 5 minute training session, and it felt/tested great. I think primarily because mental state was awesome re: training at that time, even though nutrition and sleep had been screwed for the 24hrs previous.
Maybe I should just start blogging and see if that helps. Anyone find they’ve usually had awesome sessions after blogging re: fitness?
