over 100 pull ups
150 BODYWEIGHT DIPS
100 pull aparts
41 Reverse hypers 150lbs

  • Massive PR of 150 dips. Going to say the hangover i had yesterday gave me extra strength today
  • I am really proud of that. I know it’s not a lot but it’s improvement

Death by Clean and press (95 lbs) made it to round 7

Notes:

  • Dishwasher attempted to flood my kitchen last night so my sleep was terrible
  • Served as something good to get the blood moving
  • Planning to do another conditioning session later

Tabearta: 95lbs 2 reps per round (16 reps total)

Notes:

  • Kinda personal and like a journal entry but I found my old wrestling mindset work sheets and I saw I had put “Win ADCC” as my goal for wrestling career. While grappling didn’t end up being my passion, I wonder if that goal is what allowed me to make a crap ton of progress in grappling and athleticism in a 4 year span.

Nice work on that Taberta!

I did that for the first time the other day with only 65 lbs, and I was absolutely dead by the end—well done!

Thanks! Doing those all ways makes me wonder how in the world @T3hPwnisher can do 3 in 20 seconds lol

Hell yeah dude! Those reach goals are crucial. People that set “reasonable goals” get awful results.

For 8 rounds with time to spare! Haha. Slop is the trick. Cluster into a back squat thruster.

Bench: 165x5x5
Deadlift: 295x3x5
Kroc row: 90x25 (each arm)
Curls: 20 lb dumbbell 3x10 (incline curl) 2x10 (standing hammer curl)
Reverse Hyper: 190x30, 150x15
100 band pushdowns

Notes:

  • Switch for kroc rows today bc I honestly felt super tired and beat up
  • Thinking recovery issue is coming from switching to a leaner meat and cutting out eggs (i hate eggs and they hate me)
  • monster dinner of stuffed bell peppers, rice, and Barbacoa chuck roast (chuck roast were 3.49 per lb this week)

I just applied for a mindset coach spot for a mindset program my wrestling team used. We will see what comes of that

Ended up going kayaking so i’m counting that as conditioning

Notes:

  • Kinda a “bitch” move to do that as conditioning but Saturday i plan to do the 3 bars session again so light conditioning will balance

Squat: 225x5, 175x22x8x5x5x5x5 (beltless)
Press: 90x15x5
Pull ups: 55x5x5
150 pull aparts
100 shrugs 35lb kb

Notes:

  • Planned on not pushing the squat widowmaker super hard. Got 22 then decided i wanted 30 and so on (used 12 deep breaths as my timer between sets)
  • I had to stop myself on the squats. Wanted to keep going but if i’m still feeling it I’ll destroy myself tomorrow
  • Proud of my pull up progress
  • It’s LSU V Alabama in the city. Sold my student ticket for $85 (worth it. I can buy more surge!)

Grace (95lbs)- 4:55

Notes:

  • Didn’t have enough time to get the Linda in (football party prep)
  • Caught my jaw ever so lightly in one of the jerks (not recommended)
  • Whole 1:35 quicker than last time

Been there! And also dropped the bar from full length overhead on top of my skull. I’m honestly amazed my most recent MRI showed zero skull trauma.

You probably made that bar into a cambered one after it hit your head!

Man, you get into college and right away you start smoking chicken. That’s the youth of America for you.

But seriously: that looks delicious.

Ohp: 130x5, 115x8

201 BW DIPS

Notes:

  • Hips back and knees out really does feel best for my build (with squat shoes on)
  • Dips have improved from 60 to 201 in the span of 6 weeks so that’s super cool
  • i can barely afford to feed myself with the level of hunger i have now

I’ve decided to get 235 more dips before thursday (birthday) just because 1000 dips in my 6 week block is a pretty cool way to send of 18
