Bench today. Some ups and some downs. Felt a little fatigued from pulling so heavy yesterday, but nailed my top single.
Bench 385x1 345x5,4 335x5,5
Chin 3x10
Narrow bench 275 3x8
Narrow belt squat 315 2x10
Dip 2x15
Curl machine 60x12 drop 40x12 this machine is hard af.
Felt the fatigue more in the rep work. I think 395 was there today, but I’m assuming with more rest I got more in me.
Leg day
Belt squat 435 5x10
Chin 6x10
Leg extension 190 3x12
Leg curl 175 3x10
Curl machine just did some burn out sets
Pretty good. Wore me out though. Feel like I need a nap.
Delt day. PRs all around.
Log push press 190 3x8
Log strict press 165 3x8
Chin +25 3x7
Belt squat 455x5 465x5 475x5
Incline press 255 3x6
Shoulders were needing some rest by the time I got to incline. Did some belt squat in between warm ups to give them more time. Happy with the workout. Would be crazy to get up to 200 for sets of 8.
Cardio. Felt like death.
Stair stepper 10 minutes 500 stairs. Made me realize how long a minute is.
Sled push 225 down and back 50’ 11 times
That was it. Gonna go for 605 on the deadlift tomorrow, so I didn’t want to go all out.
I figured I would give an update on the blood pressure. I got my telmisartan and nebivilol from India. I am using 20 mg of the telmisartan and 2.5 mg of nebivilol (at night). These are half of the recommended starting dosages, and most people ramp up over time. It isn’t uncommon for people to use 80-120 mg of the former, and 10-20 mg of the latter.
Mid day I am sitting at like 125/80, and first thing in the morning it’s was 118/75 (this morning).
I am doing my cardio (at least a little), and hopefully can get it where I want without the drugs.
I will say that I like the nebivolol. It is calming (it is a beta blocker). If I train hard, I kinda get a runners high. I actually very much dislike runners high because it usually means I can’t sleep well at all. The nebivolol seems to take that effect away. It lowers adrenaline / norepinephrine response.
Well that was disappointing
Deadlift 545x1 585x1 605 miss, dropped at lockout
Chin 3x10
Ghr 3x10
Plate holds 15kgs 3 sets until drop
I think yesterday’s cardio impacted strength. Also 585 was too heavy for my last warm up. Still I couldn’t lock out a 5 lb pr after 4 months on test. Maybe I should just cruise after this. I don’t think I’d be far behind if all I had done is cruise. I got to a 350 bench and 550 deadlift before blasting. I think I would have improved some without blasting in that time. IDK just frustrated.
No straps big dawg? Just hookin it??
Stair steppers kinda take me a bit to recover from lol
Yeah, hook grip. I did feel my legs were not completely fresh. That stair stepper is probably made by Satan.
Thenother day when I did 105 flights in 20 minutes. It was tough but felt just like some good cardio.
It legit took me 3 days to recover from that shit!!!
I did like 24 flights. But I also did decent amount of sled pushing. Probably not wise the day before a PR attempt.
Most definitely not lol. You should give it another go when you’re fresh
I probably will in 2 weeks. Then I might just switch things up for a bit. Maybe some bodybuilding. Maybe strongman. IDK
This is where I dropped it. You can see it coming out of my hand
I guess it wasn’t even locked out.
So close bro!!!
Still super impressive. Did the shock load of dropping it hurt? That always wrecked my back
No, but I was very dizzy. I popped a lot of vessels in my face to. I’m almost purple lol.
Buddy told me that ammonia helps prevent passing out. Didn’t believe him. He pulled it up in the mayo website. Learned something new. I know it can wake you up, didn’t know it could prevent passing out.
Bro, you’re a reverse teletubby

Seriously though, good shit, a little more reasonable prep and you have that.
Lol, a trainer at the gym says I’m an upside down triangle. Unfortunately my arms suck, and I store fat like I’m pregnant.
I popped an edible a while back but I can’t figure out what an upside down triangle is. Like do triangles have a normal orientation? Are the legs the base? Are you scalene with all different sides and shit?
There’s one in top the telletubies head lol.
This is my new favorite post on this website 
ammonia caps bro. haven’t used them myself, but many powerlifters do. Most people recommend tossing the cap into a small bottle after you use it - then you get a little stash of caps and just sniff the bottle like a weirdo (lol).
I never wanted to get into using them because it feels like one of those things you never come back from once you start…
