@Stormblessed Thanks! Posture does make all the difference with how traps look haha

Conditioning:

45 min walk with some run sets in there (didn’t track. wanted to see if my hip could handle it. It could!)

BB Curl: 65x11,11
Ab wheel: 11,7

Notes:

  • Probably going to do some extra conditioning on the bike for more strenuous cardio

@DJoftheJungle1 Thanks! I’m turning the corner on the hip so that’s some progress!

HP W2D2

12min EMOM: 325x2 (focused on getting a quality hinge and keeping brace)
DB bench: RPE 7/8- 60x6, 70x5, 80x4
DB OHP: 50x2x10
BB Cossack squat: 65x2x8

Notes:

  • Feeling really good running this
  • I noticed that my hinge was breaking and I was going into more ATP so today was about keeping the brace and hinge locked in
  • Lastly, it feels like I learned to use my lats recently in hinging movements
  • These ironmasters are great until you can’t do math and go to war with them

HP

W2D3

Hang power clean: 175x3, 205x3
Bench: 25 reps in 14min (10min): 195x5,5,5,6,4
Front rack pin squat: 185x6, 215x5, 235x3 (almost blacked out)
Nordic hamstring curl: green band x3x5

Notes:

  • the creator of this program will ratelle followed me back on instagram so that’s cool
  • I spent way too much time drilling hang power cleans to get my hips into it like @Koestrizer said too
  • Bench felt good. Going to straight bar from cambered bar is sooo easy
  • almost blacked out on front squats. I can’t lie the pin squat aspect makes this lift hard

HP W2D4

Time: 30 min

OHP (10 min): 140x5,5,5,4,3,3
Bench: 175x8,8 1 RiR
Chin: 25x8,6+2
French press: 55x2x12

Notes:

  • Physique is slowly improving. Not eating like an asshole and not drinking for the past 2 weekends has made all the difference
  • I was reading the sobriety thread on the Wendler forum and I saw something about "Now I force myself to train regardless of how I feel. Not as a punishment but as a “hey if you got super fucked up, you’re ass is going to pay for it”. I like that
  • I did have some beers last night so for a day after physique picture this is solid. We went to a few breweries and I tried a selection of stouts (pecan praline, tiramisu, deluxe chocolate, and one with bananas and chocolate) and a creamsicle sour

That’s a blast from the past. If it’s the one I’m thinking of I think I have some posts in there. How is that forum these days? I usually join once a year or so, but I’m not really doing anything 5/3/1 lately so it’s been awhile…

Its the one linked through his website. It’s uh kinda something. I love Wendler as much as the next guy but some of the posts on there are a little too glazing of him for my taste. Overall, it’s kinda what you expect for a forum related to Wendler: lots of great info, cool experiments, and lots of him telling people to lower their training max

HP W3D1

12 min of 1 jump over 24in box into 1 30in hurdle jump into 1 tuck jump (didn’t track reps)

SSB Box squat: 25 reps in 14 mins: 225x3,3,3,3,4,3,3,3
Dips: 50x5 (7/8), 65x4 (8), 80x3 (RPE 9)
Deficit SLDL: 265x5 (7/8), 295x4 (7/8), 335x3 (8)

Notes:

  • I put up some decent numbers for myself today
  • Yesterday my hip and shoulder were so inflamed but I slept like a baby. Most have been something about being at my moms doing Christmas decorations all weekend
  • I might have undershoot 335 on the SLDL. It was supposed to be RPE 9 (so 10 lbs in the tank) and I feel like I could have hit roughly 345-355 easily. Oh well I’ll send it next 2 weeks from now
  • My hip has turned the corner and I’m not waking up in pain but I’m still hesitant to run on it. I’m just going to keep spamming the mytrl routine and foam rolling my IT band/side of the glute
  • I’m curious to see how the lower volume works out on this program
  • Hip hinging in lifters really helps my hinge mechanics. I should try them next time I deadlift
  • I really need to find something to compete in

Dude I’m right there with you. I saw you were interested in a supertotal. Would you try to do them in comps or just a crazy long Saturday at the gym?

I really need to find something to compete in

Do like I do and go sign up for a novice grappling competition. You’ll have no expectations, and most likely be able to employ some “white belt magic”

Problem is I’m actually a blue belt haha. I’ve been looking at getting back into grappling but it’s just way too expensive. I do like the idea of just popping into a comp or an open mat though

Probably in the gym. I have more interest in doing a powerlifting comp than a oly comp but it’s still minimal. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve seen any oly comps advertised

I have been thinking about picking a rugby tournament my gf wants to go to and then actually going to practice to get ready for it

Looks appealing

Conditioning + arms + abs

Zone 2 on assault bike: 30 mins
BB Curls: 65x14,14
Ab Wheel: 10,10

Notes:

  • I might break the assault bike up into sets of 15 minutes because my ass hurts sitting that long and it’s boring
  • If I do that comp, I’m thinking about doing the farmers and SB/sled as density rounds on conditioning days. Then use log as a main lift, sandstone over bar as the deadlift density, then tack on the SB hold somewhere on the upperbody day

HP W3D2

Time: 50 min

12 min DL emom: 335x2 (had to put on straps last set)
DB bench: RPE 8: 75x5, RPE 9: 90x3, RPE 10: 90x5 (explain in notes)
BTN Press: 115x6 (2 RIR), 6 (1 RIR)
Cossack squats: 65x2x10

Notes:

  • DB Bench: on the 90x3, the bench wiggled and I lost a dumbbell so I said fuck it lets do an AMRAP with the 90s and got 5. Slightly off program but oh well
  • DL’s felt good. I watch the 5 step deadlift set up and a bromely video. I think I just need less knees forward and more knees right at elbows to keep a good position to use my glutes
  • I need to get a carpet or something for cossack squats. My feet are sliding on the horse stall mats
  • My buddy wants to do that comp I posted so time to start implementing stuff next 6 week cycle
  • @SepCalla I got through the prologue of Hyperion today and I am hooked. I’ve been listening to more of it and there’s a great chance I’m going to binge it. This is right up my alley

Alright I got some more goals planned out:

The dec 20 thing is still up in the air. I need to test out my hip soon but if it still works, I’ll just do as @T3hPwnisher says and use some brute force and ignorance

I’m doing that strongman comp in April

There’s another local strongman comp on may 9th that I toyed with doing because fuck it but I hate the promoter

I’m also going to do maggotfest (rugby) with my GF in May 16. Sounds like I need to get my ass to practice

Lastly, we are going on a cruise the week after maggotfest so there’s a deload

Is the hip impacting your lifting, or more running/conditioning?

2320

Squatting super deep is becoming less iffy but running was flaring it up but that was when it was being achy 24/7 and I couldn’t extend my hips at all. I’m back doing being able to extend my hips and it doesn’t hurt all the time
