at least the last 2 minutes of it!
I’m in
yeah that does make sense. i couldn’t figure why you had trouble with the weight on your heels for the catch when you obviously don’t have the problem with regular squats. i’ve never had shoulder troubles so find it a bit hard to understand how shoulder troubles affect various things.
good theory farmerbrett

Shoulder W/U circuit
Band pull aparts x 20-20
Band dislocates x 20-20
Face pulls @ 66 lbs x 20-20
CG U/H Pulldowns @ 110 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
Incline Bench Press @ 135 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
Seated row, narrow grip @ 110 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
DB standing Press @ 41.5 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
Barbell Shrugs @ 231 lbs x 10-10-10
Push Ups @ bw x 15-15-10
Psyched to have incline benched without pain. There’s still slight pain at one point when I clean the DBs to shoulder height, but it’s not too bad. I think it’s when I twist them around to face the front.
Now I’m getting used to the higher reps and sets I think it’s time to start adding some weight.
I like the shoulder w/u, I’m going to stick with it. I gives me a nice little pump before I start.
Nice volume!
I will admit to doing lots of evil things for time not speed.
just time.
one wrestling place I trained we did the following
bodyweight cleans for time I think it was 5 minutes
bodyweight squat for the same time
seated on floor OH press for time what a recent article called z press
those were usually 2 mins.
pullups burpees or squat thrusts and pushups all went well past 5 minutes
10 minutes would be eeeevil.
Kevin - I’m really liking the volume right now, it makes a nice change. I think all this stuff done for time is as much of a test of character as strength.

Bike ride - top of mountain and back - 6.5 miles in 35 minutes.
It was quite chilly today so I wore a hooded top and the damn thing acted as a parachute all the way down.
I expected godawful DOMS after Monday’s 10 x 10 on squats, but they didn’t materialise. Weird.
Tomorrow is my last workout of the week because we are going away at the weekend. So I’m thinking of doing squats and deadlifts in the same session. Should be fun.
have a fun weekend. enjoy your legswole.
Haha…yeah, squats and deads together is a tough combo but it builds character!

Squat 135 for 10 solid minutes. Don’t rack the weight during that time.

I can’t decide if you made that up to see how gullible I am or, if it’s legit, to see how much of a sucker I am for a challenge?

Lol! No I read about it, really. It might have actually been an article on this site. It referenced a wrestler(?) who had enormous quadriceps but who never used more than 135 lbs to accomplish his outrageous leg mass.

I remember trying this back in '08 when I was training for my show. I was able to get to 3 minutes of squats and then almost die. Then the following week I tried with Leg press (thinking it’d be easier) and made 2:20 and went to the bathroom to puke.
A little late to the party, but I have a lot of old injuries. Massive doses of fish oil over time has as much effect as large doses of NSAIDs. It takes time, like week or more. It works and is a healthy alternative.
10 grams daily, 20 when I push the intensity up. I’m not using flame out. I will after budget heals up next year. But times as they are.
haha. that hungarian program is freaky. do take vids if you try it brett.
Holy volume! I like it, Brett. Ya’ know, sometimes what our body needs the most is whatever we haven’t done in a while. Powerlifters especially tend to get so firmly embedded in their rut, that they keep doing the same thing for years on end. I think this will be a great shock to your muscles, and they will do all kinds of cool stuff as they adapt to somethign that is different. Your joints will also appreciate the break.
Holla!
Would love to see 135 x 10min, that’d be amazing.
DCA - Look what you’ve started! I have no intention of doing that workout, it looks like a nightmare. Twenty reps is my limit.
MJ - Thanks.
James - If I do it on a regular basis I’ll alternate them, because whatever comes second has to be much lighter due to fatigue I noticed tonight.
ddot - Nevermind the puke, did you gain any girth from it?
Null - When you say fish oil, do you mean cod liver oil? and ten grams sounds like a hell of a lot.
Alexus & dday- I will not bow to peer pressure LOL. I’m not going to do it.
CK - That was my thinking too. Just do the opposite of what I was doing.

Back squat @ 242 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
Deadlift @ 242 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
EZ Curls @ 77 lbs x 8-8-8 (supersetted with) Pushdowns @ 88 lbs x 8-8-8
Squats were too easy. I’m adapting to this higher rep stuff quite quickly. I think I’ll start adding 10 lbs per workout. Performed the deads as touch’n’go, never done them that way before. It was really warm tonight, sweat was pouring off me. Drank a litre and a half of water in just over an hour.
The deads needed to be heavier too. I might use this lower intensity, higher rep approach to make my assault on 500, rather than doing the odd single and double every now and again.
Took some vids tonight for no particular reason other than my log was looking a bit bare, too much text.
The Mama Cass song is on an advert here at the moment and I like it. Apologies for it not being hardcore enough.
The quality of squat more than makes up for the music, more or less. Awesome as always.
No, not cod liver oil. My understanding is that it is mostly indigestible and passes right on through so to speak… I’ll have to confirm that though.
In the us it made out of a small fish that isn’t used as a food source for humans… Basically pressed, then oils separated and then “distilled” to remove mercury and other contaminants. Packaged in either bottles or more commonly gel caps. The remains are then used to augment animal feeds.
10 grams is a lot (relative to modern diets) but isn’t enough to return the omega-3:6:9:12 ratios to pre-industrial levels, certainly not early human diets… SO not surprising our diets are having such a corrosive effect on our health, when it deviates so much from the diets we ate for most of our species history.
There are other, flax, and a few other vegetable of which krill/plankton is some of the best. They are not all equal. But of the plant sources we can convert only so much a day and that is not much. Some o-3s we don’t convert can be utilized for other lower priority uses (lipid metabolism, cell walls, etc.).
The flame out product from Biotest seems to be the best source I can find (but currently can’t afford) even when comparing to the life extension crowds offerings.
So Dad was right, fish really is “brain food”, but it isn’t the protein. It’s the fatty acids.

Thanks, I did notice you said “more or less”. Ha ha.
Null - I take cod liver oil already. Thanks for the advice, I’ll look out for plain fish oil.

Bike ride along the river in the picture with my wife. 10.5 miles, nice and leisurely.
P.M
Back squats @ 264 lbs x 10-10-10-10-10
GHR @ bw x 5-5-5-5-5
Pushdowns @ 88 lbs x 8-8-8-8 (supersetted with) EZ curls @ 77 lbs x 8-8-8-8
Had planned to do five sets of 10 on deads at the same weight after the squats, but soon changed my mind mid way through the squats, they were tougher than I expected.
