I know what works for me is more wt on the bar for singles and doubles on these fs and then after I get a tolerance my reps comes after.

So after a few hours I did my pull up assignment and some upper body stuff and cardio at 24 hour fitness. It wasn’t anything to write home about but I did bench. Not much but I benched…so I filled my quota for the next six months of benching.[/quote]

Reps for front squats are killer… For me, it’s more of a conditioning challenge. I love me some singles and doubles :slight_smile:

Haha no love for benching?

162

Always a pleasure to watch your vids.

163

^^ Yeah, my day was made. :slight_smile:

164

Consul–I agree. Repping out fronties is a real conditioning test for sure. I think my problem is more of my brain having reset itself and thinking the wt is more then it actually is from em taking time off .

I find the more I hold heavier wts, the more I get used to it and know, well fuck, this is not that much and I can do it. My legs have been very good tome and its typically my mind that causes issues likeasnekay bastard.

And yes… benching is a horrible movement. In all forms. I shall never speak its name again >:) I’m not really joking either.

SNAP :smiley:
Kristof :smiley:

Thank you, I love the vibes:) :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Today was another try at fs and misc stuff.

fs 205 x 3 singles
anderson fs 133x10, 143x10, 168 x 7, 173 x 2, 133x9
wide ass gm’s. WIDE ass as in my legs way the hell apart for 65# x8.

these fry my glute ham-tie in. I need to do more gm’s.
db snatched 30# x8 /arm, 40# x8/arm, 45#x 6 /arm
First time trying Rear delt Destroyer …I used 10’s, 8’s, and 5 pound lil dbs. Depending on if I am sore or what I’ll up the wt next time.

I have a feeling I’ll be sore. I didn’t do all the 60 reps, 30, 10 since it was my first time. Just tried 37,17, and 10.

OH MY and I got to borrow an internet wifi radio…so much fun :smiley: The stations are endless…I recommend one if you can afford it. I can’t so I borrowed one and will hold ontoit as long as I can get away with.

165

Thanks for reminding me to get some single leg work in too, bulgarians and yes, those awesome pistols :slight_smile:

Ah, I see. I’m sure that mental barrier will pass with practise :slight_smile:

Why don’t you like benching?

167

VIKKI :smiley: Thank you :smiley: Pistols…argh …

Consul–Benching is a horrible exercise. That’s why i hate it. AWFUL AWFUL THING.

OH MY GOSH> I actually woke up before work to lift. I am really proud of myself too I won’t jinx it. I’ll just report the lifting

fs warm ups then 210 x 2 singles, 180x2-- goal is getting my mind used to being under the wt again.
anderson zerchers 135x2, 185x2, 205x2, 225 x 4 x 3 sets, a wonk ass 240
wide gm’s 95# x8
chins 9, 3

168

Yay for waking up and getting er done!! It IS hard first thing in the a.m.

Have you decided on a new program?

169

Hey Coyote :smiley: No new real program yet. I’m winging it off a oly percentage chart I found a while ago. But …basically no, no program :slight_smile:

Monday
deads
warm up singles 135, 185,225,255, 275, 295
conventional with chains 225x2, 245x3, 265 x 3
deficit conventional using 25# plates 245x4, 265x3

That’s all. New strategy needs to be tended too whilst I deal with serious work stress overload. I’m going to have to move deads day to a either a day before or something.

After a while I did pull ups and some ohs at 24 hour.
ohs 133x10, x8, 138 I ended up push pressing it up and way too far out into a snatch grip,133x8,x5

made me think of snatch grip deads. SO I did a few sets of very low wt reps. Mostly for lats and traps vs regular deadszos hammie and lower back.

89#x10 x 3 sets or so. I mean to gain an upper back.

Today was a nice surprise. I added the wt’s in my head wrong and ended up doing wt I thought was ten pounds lighter. HA HA

Fronties 135, 155, 185, 200x2 x 3 sets, 210, 210, 215
195x3x3sets,x 2 , 185x3 x 2 sets,175 x3 x 2 sets, x4
pause at the bottom 175 x 2 x 2 sets

I am happy with this. The heaviest fs day I’ve done in like 6 weeks. YEAIIIII

170

Today felt like a deadlift day so I did deadlifts

deficit conventional with 25# plates for the size change thing
245x3, 265x3x 2sets, 275x3, 285x3, 295x2
normal conventional dls 185, 225,255, 275, 290, 305 once again I added the wts wrong in my head. 325 didn’t go.

ghr’s x8 x 3 sets
snatch grip deads for upper back growth 135x8, 155x8,175x5, 185x5, 200x2
I like these. OH MY GOSH I like an upper back exercise.

All this time for some reason I’ve thought I had big traps…um…no I don’t…and I’mnot even sure hwy I even thought I had big ones to begin with .

I am deficient in traps. Specifically anterior ones. My upper back is pretty spindley and wispy. I’d like a meaty beefy one. Or at least a stronger one.

I’m going to go ahead and guess that she leans over, grabs the bar, and picks it up.

173

^^ Exactly. And with flair/zazz to boot. :smiley:

174

My hero! Will be checking out your log a lot from now on. By the way Brute if you will kindly critique my form in one of my threads that’d be amazing. I should have prolly started the thread in this forum instead of the powerlifting one.

175

:smiley: Thanks guys :smiley:

Not to sound like a chump but my deads are NOT up to my normal standard :frowning: Don’t get me wrong I am most grateful to be a healthy young person who can dl…just come back in a lil while and I hope to show what i’m really worth :wink:

Hey Dally :slight_smile: Oh goodness…I am not the form police by any stretch of the imagination :{ That’s incredibly exciting that you are just getting a wiff of how cool pl can be :slight_smile: I’d suggest looking at lots and lots and lots of vids of lifters. Try and find competitive ones --for the most part they have good form. I’d suggest heading to powerlfiting watch and finding some of the top female names, look for them on you tube and go wold.

Everyone and there dad is gong to try and give you tips to help you out but it really takes time to get used to your strength. Be smart, take your time and just have fun :)Read alot, watch those damm russian lifters…men and women who annialte wt :slight_smile:
