Nice dude! Glad to hear you're doing well!

For the dampening if the rowing machine, between 3-5 is the general consensus that best stimulates water. Going above that is considered unnecessary. I'm assuming you're using a concept 2 if course.

Last week:

Monday - Worked up to 100kg snatch 130kg clean and jerk
Wednesday - Worked up to 80kg in sn and cj
Thursday - Up to 105kg sn

Some squats mixed in there too. Also managed to do a normal looking 3x5 pull ups, i think my pinched nerves are starting to get back to normal so i'm not super lopsided. About 4 weeks out from competition.

I set it at 6 or 7 because someone told me to do that. Who knows if that's a good setting. I guess I could try 3-5.

Go to "more", "Options", "Display drag factor". You should move the damper so that the resistance is approx 115. US heavyweights like to have their dampers all the way up to 135~, but lower back injuries are also much more common. I personally have the damper on 120~. The relationship between the damper & the drag factor depends per machine and changes over time, the only way you will know before your row that you are on the right drag factor is to go through this process. Takes like 20 secs though.

Meh, been down with bronchitis for a week now, really sucks. Coughing my lungs out and just walking two flights of stairs leaves me out of breath. I was so excited to get back into lifting after a diet of ungodly amounts of vodka, beer, and barbecue last week. Of course, that might have had something to do with getting sick ...

I injured myself like a dumbass last week by playing basketball barefoot, so I had to basically take last week off. Back to lifting this week though. Even though I was basically fine by the end of last week, I had graduation and family stuff to do so I just had no time to lift over the weekend.

Bench Press - 145x8x4
Incline Bench - 110x8x4
Chin-ups - BWx8x4
*Lateral Raise - 25x10x3
*Front Raise - 15x10x3
Dumbbell Curls w/ Fat Gripz - 25x12x3
Barbell Shrugs - 230x12x3
Face-pulls - light band x20x3

*supersetted the two shoulder exercises

Everything felt pretty good today. I think I'm just going to stick with the higher volume on everything and take some time to work on my lower back pain. If it's mostly cleared up in a few weeks I might go back to some lower rep work, but I think I can still build enough strength with sets of 8 so it's not too big of a deal.

As someone who does almost everything barefoot I am interested in how you got injured. Please elaborate.

He could have been stepped on / landed on by someone wearing shoes. Stubbed his toe on pavement. Kicked the basketball pole. It's a mystery until mtl returns

The actual injury isn't very interesting. I had some minor scrapes/cuts on my foot, but the major issue was a gigantic blood blister on my foot. It's starting to shrink, but it was pretty massive when I first got it. I couldn't really walk on my foot for one day because my foot was pretty sensitive and I didn't want the blood blister to burst, and I figured that since most lifting requires me to be on my feet it would probably be best just to wait a little bit.

Sorry for the anticlimactic story. I probably could've pushed it if I really wanted to, but given that I had to walk for graduation I just didn't feel like risking anything.

Ha nice. I walked three days after ACL reconstruction, you probably would have made it

Glad it helps! 125 sounds right for someone your size. A 2k is quite long, and a higher drag factor really doesn't necessarily lead to lower times. Protip: if you are doing 100m sprints or something silly, then you should aim for a higher drag factor (150 or so). I don't know why on earth you 2k so often though, they are zero fun haha.
