A Caveman's Quest for a 100kg OHP

1 hand DB OHP 28kg 3x3, 30kg 3x3
JM press, ramped up to 80kg 2x4

not so good tonight, had to train in the eve so i didnt get any fasted training in. id be doing 80kg 3x3 by now if i wasnt away and ill over june/july, pissed off.

TheBird: 100kg is what im aiming for by the end of the year, im focusing on it to the detriment of bench, but its worth it for me

Box Squat 142.5kg 3x3, 152.5kg 3x3, 162.5kg 3x3 - nice and hard

front box squat 82.5kg 3x3, 92.5kg, 102.5kg 3x3 - pretty easy, could have added 10kg almost

goodmornings x10 42.5kg-62.5kg

another great session

back: 1hand snatch 32.5kg 3x3, 37.5kg 3x3, 42.5kg 2x3
BBrows 5x10 60-90kg (lower back a bit too fatigued for this)
1hand Tbar row 5x10 worked up to 30kg
curls, rear delts, shrugs

after reading Dan John’s full-body livespill, i have decided to try it John is alway worth listening to.

OHP: 51.5kg 3x3, 61.5kg 3x3, 71.5kg 3x3 - hard but good
Front squat 71.5kg 2x10
DB ohp 28kg 3x4, 30kg 3x4
Dimel deads 100kg 2x15 - murder on the grip
JMpress worked up to 80kg 2x5
shrugs 100kg 4x10
Curls 2x10

Great OHP dude, your so many miles ahead of me its sad.

Howd you find the total body routine? Dan is very rarely, if ever wrong.

it was really cool, and added 15mins max to today session because i supersetted stuff. hopefully the 6xweek squats and presses will jack up my numbers noticibly

Today was fucking beastly!

GoodMorning 5x10 50/55/60/65/70kg

Dude,

When your BB Rowing, do you touch the bar off the ground on each rep and pull into your chest?(Penley Rows) or do you keep the bar off the ground and pull from your knees into your waist(More yates rows).

I cant figure out which one I should be doing.

Impressive squatting.
And where did you get the prowler from? Do you get strange looks from other people at the park while your pushing the prowler? I know I get strange looks just doing hill sprints.

Anyway keep shuffling bro.

Oregand: i dont do pendelay rows, but i do keep my torso more parelel than not. i find my lower back takes all the strain during pendelays, compared to lifting the bar out of a rack and bending down - which lets my hams take the strain. i treat rows as a ‘bodybuilding’ movement, so i like to keep the tension. Pullups, however, i do from a dead hang because im trying to get stronger in them.

TheBird: i got it from a dude who was copying the design and selling them on Ebay, £200 + free shipping. arent you down under? your best bet may be finding someone doing the same in aus, or making your own

God did today suck
OHP 53.5kg 3x3 (fine), 63.5kg 3x3 (fine), 73.5kg x2 - absolute fail
DB OHP 30kg 2x5, 27.5kg x8
pullups, calves, facepulls, taught a friend to bench

may switch round to 1hand DB for main press, then do BB 5x10 assistance + tricep
last pressing sesh till aug 24th

Looking strong cave!

Don’t worry about feeling sucky, one workout does not a man make.

Your post in the ‘ultimate workout’ thread was great by the way, the 2x per week 10x3 work out thingy, I think I’m keeping that for when the season starts again.

thanks mate, took me 20secs to think of it, whereas that other guy probably wont get it at all.

Squat Day:
Hang clean + PushPress, worked up to 95kg - video to be uploaded
Box squat 152.5kg 3x3, 162.5kg 3x3, 172.5kg 3x3 - good stuff
Front box quat 92.5kg 3x3, 102.5kg 3x3, 112.5kg 3x3 - hard but good
GoodMornings 5x10 52.5/57.5/62.5/67.5/72.5kg
some leg curls, calves (finally starting to add some size)

boom, i think i won the wager between accipiterQ and myself

Yeah, threads like that make me laugh. You training philosophies are similar to mine, although I can fanny I a bit when I’ve finished my workout lol.

Where a bouts are you in england BTW mate? PM me if you want. (no homo)

S.E london/kent mate, lucky i found a gym with a squat rack, let alone rubber plates and floor

This is the guy i get most of my insperation and methods from:
http://chaosandpain.blogspot.com/?zx=6cbfdc74eb205eb8

i thoroughly recomend taking half a day and reading all of his entries so far

Back
Hang clean/PP and BBrow complex - double bbrow reps of PP: 60kg 8/16, 65kg 8/16, 70kg 6/12, 75kg 5/10, 80kg 1/10, and a few heavier sets of rows
some shrugs, tricep work, rear delts.
I havnt had an inspired back session for ages. i think it would be best to do Row variations on press and squat days to get the work in, leaving the third day as olympic/strongman/arm stuff, eg 1 hand bb snatches, BTN jerks, lots of prowlers.

1 hand BB snatches 10x3 ramped
BTN jerk 10x3
Prowler: 15mins of weighted push and pull for max distance in set time
sounds great
