Whats up. Finally starting a log, my lifting partner Jimbo and I.
My goals: Gain as much size and strength while lowering fat levels. I pretty much eat a shit load, drink lots of protein, and lift a lot of weights off the ground.
Achilles backround: wrestled, football, track in highschool. Rugby in college. My all time highest weight was this summer at a 5’11 252. I now weigh around 237-240 and are a senior in college (22). I want to start a cleaner bulk again end of October.
We are currently on a one muscle per day except for bicep/tricep/forearms. This will only be for another few weeks and then we will return to out usualy split which is Chest/tris/calves, Bicep/back/forearm, legs/shoulders/traps. twice a week with a heavy day and volume day
Jimbo:goals = gain size and strength
background - played football all 4 yrs of high school, threw shot put and discus in high school and hoping to throw shot put soon in college as well, also played baseball 1 year.
Back squat: 135x15, 225x10, 315x8,405x5 stopped here. 405 felt slow and weak. I need to warm up more me thinks.
Front squat from pins: 135x10, 225x10, 315x2. Front squatting from pins is hell of a lot harder than regular to me. Its like your lacking the gear to throw you up quick. It felt awesome though. Usually 315 front squat is simple but from pins it decimated my thighs
Romanian DL from blocks for xtra penetration: 135x10, 225x10,315x8
Leg press: 585x12, 765x12, 945x 8, 1035x6
Hack squat: 315x10, 495x8, 585x8,765x6
calve raises: some x some
lying leg curl:4 sets somexsome
Surge PWO + PWOD (Post Work Out Dip) necessary for bigger numbers the next day.
YES! Solid, solid lifting man! Was that you in the vid or your partner? Either way, AWESOME!!!
What’s your diet look like? I’ve talked to SO many people about diet, so I could help you arrange some shit if you’d like. If you want to ‘clean bulk’ I’d suggest the Mountain Dog Diet.
hlss: the University of Alabama. and thats me in the vid. my partner will be in vids we post for tomorrows chest lift. Hes about 20+ lbs lighter than me. but has solid lifts regardless.
And for sure Im down to work out something for my next bulk. Im going to be doing fasted cardio twice a week and then sprints another two days a week. + throwing drills.
Jimbo showed me neck press, we do it after reg incline. you grab the bar as wide as possible and literally bench to your neck versus conventional upper chest. it really blasts your upper pecks and delts. just watch out for your pinkys
Will be uploading some diet example and physique pics for hlss to help out with a new diet.
Lol… Just kidding. I hate auburn. What’s going on? Great log. You’re a big strong dude. Vids are awesome too. Are you gonna try to throw for the Alabama track team? Is that your goal?
yeah thats the plan, right now I’m fuckin around with some club baseball but both of us are training and hopefully will be able to walk on the team. We ordered a shot in the mail so we can practice our throws.
^^x2 Yeah Greg Jimbo and I are training to try and walk on in the spring. Well be posting some videos of us throwing and doing diff throwing prep drills here and there as well. Other than that my goal is just to get big and strong.
Not good lifts today. ate horribly because of so much school work and are still sore. Hopefully will have a better pull day later in the week.
pull ups some x some
DL: 225x10, 315x8, 405x6, 500x1, 565xfail -,- instead of trying to work to heavier singles i think i should have just repped 500 out more and moved to a lighter weight such as 530 or something. W.e. ill hit my 565 next week.
are you guys gonna try to throw shot only? Or shot and disc?
those DL’s were nice. I’m jealous of your 500… Hoping to hit a 500 DL soon. Why do you have your grip so wide? I only ask cause if you moved it in a few inches you’d save yourself some ROM?
good luck with the walk on situation guys… I’ll be pullin for ya
eh I should have had my 565 -.- Ill get it next week. and perhaps ill move my grip in a little to see if it makes a difference.
Still a while until walk ons so we have time to get strength up and practice throwing more. next week well post throwing drills. and for now we are just trying for shot but who knows maybe well develop into discuss as well
