Andrew_live: Gym Time for the Win Time

1 serving Anaconda
light stretching
a few warmup DL’s

Did the 30 min Deadlift Challenge again today.

The original article with the instructions is here: Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION

Basically 315# for 94 reps in 30 min. I use straps and belt though. Next attempt will be raw.

I sweated like a pig and drenched the whole place. No joke. Sweat everywhere.

Did a bunch of ab work to finish off.

Sauna and Shower

Weigh in at 217

GTFO of the gym.

how are your joints feeling with the bench program you are doing?[/quote]

My shoulders are starting to really feel this. They’re staying sore longer. I’m going to take that into account and up my rotator cuff work and just do what I can to play it safe.

94 reps of 315 in 30 mins! How are you feeling today, can you even sit down?

Sitting down isnt too bad as I’m just letting myself fall onto the seat but standing up is a bitch. My entire posterior chain is feeling really swole. Even my traps are sore as hell. Not a common occurrence for me.

I need to start being awesome again. These shitty workouts are embarrassing and I dont even want to post them but it might help me somehow.

It might do you some good to look up some of the 5/3/1 variations that Cephalic_Carnage has written on here. C_C how do you train thread I believe.

5/3/1 is a great progression, combined with the proper accessory work, can really do wonders. PM me if you’re too lazy to look his stuff up :wink:

Boo yah!
Fuck yo momma!
YEEEEEEAAAAHHH!

Actually, the whole barbbell row thing sucks. Just didnt feel it. The chest portion on the other hand kicked ass…kicked chest…kicked pectoralis major.

Sprained my ankle doing jump rope. 6 hours of sitting in a hospital later…no beaks. Wooooooooooooooo… Doctor says to stay off it for 2 weeks. Not happening. Swelled up and bruised so I bitched out and took Tuesday off.

*Failed

This workout was insane! My forearms are killing me from the muscle clean push press, rode the shoulder pump train all the way home, bi’s and tri’s are still throbbing in the morning.

NOTE: Beginning to get stretch marks on the inside of my elbows and ever so faintly on my shoulders. Probable cause: Increased shoulder workouts and increased work on the incline bench.
