3:59…insanity.

Next time, could you run a couple of extra sprints for me? I really need some cardio.
Not too many, though. I don’t want you to wake me up.[/quote]

hahaha, I run them in bare feet on a turf field…quiet as a church mouse…well except for the panting, wheezing, moaning and grumbling! Mostly grumbling!

Deads can definitely impact bench IMO. When I run Bulgarian method working up to daily max everyday except on deads day, the day after deads is almost always my worst day benching of the entire week.

If you have the energy left to grumble, you are light years ahead of me.

4:00!? You slept in!

Nice Zerchers. Reminded me that I saw two different guys doing front squats, yesterday. And they were, at least to my uneducated eye, doing them properly.

Thanks Skip, Zerchers are brutal for me. I harbor hopes of doing 300 but man is it work.

Oh good so I’m not completely crazy… Thanks for the input Dave

I agree about deads/bench. Deadlifts take quite a bit out of you, don’t forget they work every muscle in the body from your toes to your head. BRUTAL!!!

BTW - what is FTW in the thread title?

Thanks for the thought Chris, FTW = For the Win.

Nice work, Paul. And nice description. Although, I doubt it looks anything like that. Not enough scales…

Dead hang chins…if I ever go into dead hang position, I am stuck there until my grip gives or my shoulders dislocate, which causes my grip to give. So, I guess it is the same thing.

Let’s see what we got here. Everything lookin real good. If you’re getting 165 over head with crappy form you’re doing great. I’m kinda with Stick on the deadhang chins so those are great and the pendley’s are extremely adequate. What’s the bodyweight now?

roasty toasty…off work his week…actually kind of nice to be awake when I lift…

Peace

Killer work as always OG! I like the way you mix up the grip/form. I presume that’s to maximize the benefits?

Yep…nice work, as usual. Being awake for your workout…you might you prefer doing it in your sleep.

Enjoy the week off!

Thanks brother, yeah I had 2 things ( amongst many) that really were problematic, my grip and my hips shooting up (basically Straight legging everything heavier than a paperclip)… So instead of warming up with Conv I decided to use 5/3/1 on Snatch grip to work those problems and then bump the weight and do some Conv work with reps and weights that I am feeling for the day( right now working 315 -375.). I have 9 or 10 days between DL work so I seem to be ok in terms of recovery.

I do the RDL snatch grip to add grip work with more time under tension ( reps are bit higher ) and help with P-chain / hip snap…with a weight I can 'feel"…

After surgery last summer and 4 months out of the gym I had lots of time to think about what to do when I got the green light. Just thankful to be lifting and having bad asses like yourself check in on me.- Paul
