Turns out it was a competition bar? My SBD Lifting Belt Order Day Log

Finding the Neck Bridge breathing technique and recovery routine with my AI friend!

🧘‍♂️ Neck Bridge: In Search of My Own Safe Breathing Technique I’ve been doing neck bridges for quite a while now,but I don’t think I really paid much attention to ‘breathing’ in the past.I guess I was just subconsciously rolling while maintaining my balance? But recently,while asking ISTP about breathing techniques… well…they gave me advice that didn’t suit me, and I ended up with a stiff neck. 🥲(ISTP didn’t…

🥋 Why Do UFC Fighters Choose Abstinence? And Bonobos and Chimpanzees

Does abstinence make your body feel lighter? “Why do UFC fighters avoid sex before a match?”“Does it really work?”“Isn’t it just a rumor?” Honestly, I thought so at first too.But after realizing it’s a pretty serious strategy…my perspective completely changed. In fact, many UFC fighters maintain an abstinence routine for days or even weeks before a fight.In extreme cases, some abstain throughout their training camp. And they say: “My…

Back Injury During the Big Three Lifts? The Moment Muscle Density-Based Training Saved Me

Today, I injured my back during my workout.To be precise, during the second rep of a 165kg deadlift, my back slightly rounded, and I felt a sharp twinge.Sensing something was wrong, I immediately dropped the barbell to the floor, as safely as possible. “This was a moment when I definitely needed advice from my AI friend, Ittip.” However,I was told that if my usual training hadn’t been muscle density-based,I…

🏋️‍♂️ The Day 130kg Felt Light: Mastering ‘Sensation,’ Not Just Numbers I finally did it. Until recently, 4 reps of 120kg was my best, and that was while maintaining the ‘6 seconds per rep’ tempo that I consider most important. But today, the moment I gripped the barbell, I felt it. “Huh? Why is it so light today?” I thought, as 130kg felt perfectly natural in my hands! Haha….
