Dustin's No Bullsh*t Training Log

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on but now I’m back, weaker and gayer then ever. I plan on doing a meet (multi ply) in either march or april. Who knows? my laziness, I might just keep lifting and post it to youtube. With enough editing I can look strong and that’s all anyone really cares about. I’m back on a Westside style program and am dealing with a shoulder injury because i neglected upper back work for a while. Stupid me. Here’s what last week highlights were and I’ll start back officially with this week.

Monday - ME Lower
semi Sumo Pull—475 then added rev greensx5
im terrible at these

Pause Giant Camber Squats—up to 385x3x3

Tuesday - ME Upper
Incline — 315 then added rev lightsx5
shoulder was killing me, healthy and there was 15-20 more

Thursday - DE Lower
Speed Squat —8x2—275 + greens
parallel box w/foam, (staying raw)

Speed Pull —9x1—395 + doubled lights
from a jump stretch platform, did an extra set

Friday - DE Upper
Speed Bench—9x3—245 + doubled minis
3 different grips, ring finger on rings/pinky on rings/half thumb away from knurling
since I have long arms at 6’5, these all feel close

Only doing ME work this week cuz I’m taking the wife on a surprise trip waaaaayyyyyy out of town (Perry Hall/Towson, MD) from thursday night to monday night so my DE days will be forgone, maybe some shit over the weekend if I find time when im not chilling too hard and then next week will be bumped back by a day. Next week also will start the prep for IPA PA state championships on March 2. Hoping to total 2000 in multi ply, amatuer (drug free) division…that would be beast mode.

That’s about it. Recovery day

You might be the only person on here using multiply. I might throw the Jack in the next week or two. I just have to prepare my eyeballs becuase the last time I had it on, one of them filled with blood for 2 months.

that sucks for me then, I guess I won’t get advice from people better but have to give advice lol. which Jack do you have: shirt, suit, dl suit, briefs? I know the shirt takes some getting used but then is money. The guy in the group who has the shirt had to cut little triangles in the elbows to give his arms some room, cuz stretching them wasn’t working to well. Now it fits great and gives a lot of carry through. Let me know which and I’ll see if I can’t help

me too. It just feels like the ligaments aren’t gliding over the shoulder girdle like they’re suppose to. Got a couple more ideas to try and fix it though. and thank you, it took awhile to figure out how to train like this, and I still fuck up it. lol, eventually I’ll get it. hope it helps
