Pushed through the pain on every set, anyway first official autoreg workout. It’s all about finding my max in the days rep range, then staying in the pocket, delivering blows for as long as possible :slight_smile: Latter[/quote]

So it’s similar for what I’m doing, except ramp up in singles, doubles, or triples. Then drop 10% and do work sets.

The work sets are CT’s version of cluster sets. One set is: Do a rep, rack and rest for 7-10 seconds, do a rep. Repeat until you can’t do any more reps.

And then drop another 10-15% or so (to 70-85% of whatever you ramped to), and get a bunch of volume in.

Probably the main differences is that the layer system uses lower reps (nothing over triples) and that it’s based on force production (so everything is explosive and there’s no grinding). This puts all the work sets at 89-90% 1RM. It’s 89% if you ramp up with triples, then cut 10%.

But yeah, I really do like training with autoregulation. Some days I feel great, some days I don’t, but the quality of the workout stays consistent. Granted, I have a long ways to go.

wtf I wish I had that kind of overhead strength[/quote]

x2.

183

Yeah, i’ve seen with younger lifters that the lower body strength comes quicker, but in the upper body you have to build mass first, then the strength seems to come. Also I can’t press directly overhead, because I have a messed up left shoulder, with some pins in it. The bench is set as high as i can get it, around 80 degrees I think, so thats different than standing military strength.

I do keep my grip narrow (pinky on band) and tuck my elbows, to try and stress shoulders as much as possible, superestting different latterals, helps with this. i’m so chest dominate, that i’ve done 10x10 on a hammer strength shoulder press one time as my only exercise, and the next day my chest was wrecked, it makes it hard to grow my shoulders sometimes. I do have my 3mth update pics comming up, 1st of Dec.

My shoulders are where I’ve had the most improvement, that and my stomach have seemed to grow the most ;). Thanks for the suport. Latter

I forgot to mention, last night at the grocery store, this young chick was all up on my shit, half my age. feels good when your on the bulk, feeling like a blimp at 260, and you get some love. me and my daughter were down on our hands and knees at the lobster tank, tapping on the glass, whatever, and this smoken little chick, wearin some LooLoolemon’s, gets on her hands and knees next to me, starts chattin me up. Nice ! Like I say good for the confidence when you got your bloat on. tell the rest latter, wife just pulled in LOl

You da man

186

false alert, anyway, I think it has more to do with me being a big nasty looking guy, and when I shut out the world, and just zone with my 6yr, chicks seem to be drawn to this. The nice thing about living the life I’ve lived, is I don’t have to be concearned with image, and trying to look tough, like most guys. I played that role to death for 30yrs, and now I got nothing to prove, just be myself, I lived a hard enough life that it just comes out of me (shows) I guess.

I could walk around in a pink too too with my daughter, and not one guy would say anything to me, must be a vibe or somthing, but anyway I like it. I’ll run around a store and play tag with my daughter, while my wife shops, just being a 260lb kid :slight_smile: loving life. this seems to draw women like a moth to a flame. All those years trying to look cool to atract women, and all I had to do was act like a 5 year old, funny stuff. Latter

Ah i’m having a hard time on the mental aspects of all this again, i mean I’m there, I’ve locked into a program thats working, 10lbs a week to my squat, feels like a straight line to 500, it’s just mentaly exhausting, to keep force feeding myself like i am, and I’m basicaly hitting PR’s 3x a week in the squat. Like CT says, even when you think your training hard, you can train harder.

For the last 5yrs in the gym, guys would ask to train with me, and then never come back, I thought I was training hard then, haha, that was BBing type training, lots of reps, lots of volume, never thought aboout PR’s. My first couple months back Pling I did the same thing, even talked about it here, not training to failure, keeping reps in the tank, lots of volume Haha I’ve changed gears, it’s balls out now.

It’s harder this time getting strength, than it was the first time in my 20s I was training with real PLer’s then, guys that were stronger than me, it was fun, they’d challange me, and I’d step up. This time I’m all alone in my garage. It’s taken me 5mths just to get to this place mentaly, where I can break PR’s weekly. I can always add five more pounds, and I can always squeeze in a packet of oatmeal, and a couple boiled eggs. If the weights not moving, it’s mental - make it move, if it’s diet - eat more, if it’s rest - sleep more. Thats what i love about this sport, it falls on me. i know if my daughter was stuck under a car, i’d lift it.

I could lift 1000lbs if life depended on it, so i know it’s mental, getting my squat back to 500. Thats old advice as well, when your lifts aren’t moving, switch your focus to just one lift. It’s taken all of this, and then some. Latter

Good stuff man, we’re in it for the long haul so we’re gonna hit the hills and valleys just gotta push thru em

189

whats wrong with people, i’m on house arrest, have ADD, and a bunch of shit. I hate FB and all the other gay shit, so I ramble on , try and help, or make fun of people here. What’s everyone else’s excuse LOL got my first friend request today, I don’t know what this means. Someone invited me to friend they’re hub. I’m moved, I just don’t know what this entails.

i also got a notice that i posted a link to competitors web sight, wish they had have told me what websight I posted, so I don’t do it again. I try and respect this place, what would I do all day without it. I had a bail variance to leave the house to work, worked for 5 weeks, it was fun, but contract ended, back at home for the last two weeks, now I’m really going nuts, got a taste of life. i’ve been phoning all my friends that own buisinesses, saying I’ll work for free, it’s the only way I can leave the house, other than with my wife, and she works 60hrs a week, plus runs my gym. Wake up bug people on Tnation, workout, bug people on Tnation, go to bed. This is the life I always dreamed of as a kid, oh ya tomorrow’s a workout day whoot whoot. By the way, I don’t drink, or do drugs anymore, just board, and in a wierd mood. Latter

So, stop with excuses. Train like hell, eat rest, and guess what most of us never reach a threshold limit, and we MUST crumble physically, emotionally, and psychologically to Achieve Your Beast, not best. Sounds like a past, we all have one, use yours as your untapped hunger.

When I lived in a prison in Gatesville, trained in another, and worked in a third unit on a riot team I saw REAL TESTOSTERONE ball busting men work out HOURS a day, now where is the research to back it up? No one reccomends it, but he’ll go get on a visitation list for a stae prison, not you, others, and let’s reconsider what “hitting it hard” means. They also eat crap meals cooked with lard and have no opportunity to pack six meals, chug shakes, and I never saw someone slip some BCAA’s to a buddy on the down low.

Point, I am not fit, fact, not a bit(h fit, I am over weight, am training my hand to mouth habit, choices, and pushing for me is pus$ y status for the likes of yourself. So, get up workout, eat hydrate rest, workout, eat shower or soak (which gets you 1.5 liters of wayward in 15 minutes, rest, eat, rest and workout. Then come back in a month and motivate the f)(k out of people like me.

Wayward water, fumble finger, tingling from grip strength workout.

192

I don’t know why I feel the need to get on my log every night before I go to bed, after i’ve taken my sleeping pills LOL but I do, so just ignor every forth or fith post, and i’ll try to curtail my behavior. As far as motivation, and the guy above repeating Paul Carter’s sacrifice post :slight_smile: come on now, do you have any idea what it feels like to eek out 3 reps with 400lbs then do it with 10 more pound the following week, then the following week, and so on and so on.

You have to take yourself to a place mentaly that most can’t get to, judging by how maney logs I go to, and people have been using the same weight for a year, basicaly. I’ve put a100lbs of real weight on my squat in 3 months, and I’m going to put another 100lbs on in the next 3 months. This takes a kind of mental comitment, that I rarly see, everyone talks about it, but I don’t see it. how maney people you know squatting 500 for reps-----exactly.

As far as the ball busting prison workouts, hahaha i was on the other side of the fence from you bro, and to be honest, I’d rather nopt have a stinkin turn-key on my log. There’s nothing cool about being a blue shirt ass spreader, so go somewhere else

193

I got a call this morning for a walk on part for a show called Remedy, I’ve never heard of it, it’s on Global I was told, when I know moree I’ll post it. I do know me and my wife get a night in toronto, in a hotel,payed for by part of this gig, so thats good, and the last one I did was 75$ hour, to stand around for two days, then look tough for ten minutes, can’t go wrong with that, more latter

Posted twicve whatever Latter

195

Your on your way to be the Canadian equivalent of Dany Trejo ahha. That’s cool man I got a buddy who designs sets and props in T.O. Very cool shit!

196

I was thinking have you ever thought of designing art and furniture with your welding skills. I met a dude who redesigned old farm wood and the likes into furniture. It’s all the rage with the yuppies apparently. he makes a good living doing so.

So what part of the criticism was brutally hones, 2 . I never spread ass, I have standards, 3. When a woman bitches and whines guys chime in, it is weak though, on that I agree, 4. I am not a bro. But I’ll leave. You aren’t motivating, you blame others, and want a fight and to be taken care of, life sounds great for you!

198

It’s a log bro, i’m logging my workouts, i’ve been training myself and other’s for over 20yrs. i’m making a come back, because I let myslf go, if any of that inspires others great, if not, go somewhere else, it’s my personal strength log. On a personal level it bothers me that your a jail guard, it’s all through my thread that i’ve done alot of time on and off, up until 10yrs ago, and you and I know what goes on. since I got sober 7yrs ago, and left crime 10yrs ago, I no longer have a filter on my mouth, thoughts, or typing.

I know this is different than mopst people are used to, but I lived my life for 30yrs having to watch everything I said, and did, being mindfull of my image, when I finaly moved to a different lifestyle, it was refreshing for me to just be a zaney, and off the wall guy, not giving a shit what anyone thought of me. it helps in real life that i’m 260lbs, and have been in a couple hundred physical altercations, I don’t act tough anymore, but people get a vibe from me in person, and generaly let me be.

The point is, i’m having more fun now in life, sober, and full of life, being a father, husband, buisiness owner, than I ever had before drinking, drugs, money, women, harleys. Thats me, off the wall, and this is my blog, go somewhere else’
