2/6
deads 415x5,465x3,525x1,365x8,315x10
ab roll 315 5x3 sets
GM 135x5,155x5,175x5,205x5
I had to lift in the am today. I’m headed 3 hours north for a game. We’d better win.
I really wanted to get 525x2 but there was no way. I added a 65%x8 and 55%x10 to the deads. Don’t tell Wendler ok. My back was fried after the deads so I had to do ab rolls to loosen it up before I tried GMs .
Whats an ab roll?
I think I need one or two a dem.
Good look on the game.
Nicw work ECO…safe driving and best of luck to your son(s)?) in the game.
Great pulling, Steve, goos luck on the game.
If you like the ab wheel, you might like one of these. I have one, I just don’t use it enough. I need to get it back into my rotation:

Thanks guys. Had a great hockey weekend. Next weekend we have 8 games.
Its the same ab roll wheel we had as kids. I just use a loaded olympic bar instead of an ab wheel.
Jack, I’ve seen that gadget before. It looks like a killer of an exercise.
How did the young’uns game go? BTW, nice lifting
hey Eco, Have you tried using fat gripz for db shoulder work. I jacked my left shoulder a while back and doing much with it has always hurt and held me back. I got some FG’s, and even though I had to drop the weight, when I did arnold presses today, I had no pain at all and I’m noticing a better range of motion and almost no pain in just everyday movements when I used to have a lot. I know I sound like a paid comercial, but in just the couple of weeks I have used them, they have helped an awful lot.
JW, won some,lost some. Good weekend for hockey bad one for diet. Deloading this week.
UN42, you’ve got the perfect look. Bald is beautiful (first hand knowledge). I may have to get a pair of fat gripz. I’ve been using a fat bar hoping it helps. Thanks for the advice. I need all of it I can get.
that was some big pulling before the hockey weekend. I’m glad everything went well.
Thanks MJ.
2/8 deload
cgb fat bar 219x5,5,5
chin bwx2,2,2
dips bwx5,5,5
Not sure if this was a proper deload but I didn’t feel like reading on the proper way.
My 10 year old’s workout
1.zercher squat 20 5x5
2.MP 20 5x5
3.50 mtn climbers
He skated on the neighbors rink for 1.5 hours then we came home and worked out together. I told him he could workout twice a week during his season. See if he sticks with it.
That’s a pretty good workout for a 10 year-old!
I see the boy is already on his way to being a monster like the dad.
Nice work with the kid. I can’t imagine skating for and hour and a half then doing zerchers. Even 20 lbs. Damn kids have energy.
Nice pullling and its cool the little guy wants to train like dad.
Thanks guys.
My son is so hot and cold. Sometimes he’s begging to workout with me and other times he’d rather play video games. I’d like to see him workout a couple times a week. If all goes as planned he’s hitting squats and bench next workout.
Time with your son…priceless…enjoy it brother!! Oh man, you make me wish mine was still 10!
for me, the key to the deload is 80%. either 80% poundage or 80# rep-age. i usually skip the main lift and do 5x8 on the accessories.
That’s gotta be fun hittin’ the weights with your boy.
2/10
cleans 135x5,185x3,205x2,225x2,245x.9
zercher off pins 225x3,315x2,405x1,495x0,0,405x3
front squat 225 5x5
plancs 15-30 seconds
Didn’t feel like deloading today. I started the zerchers off the pins at dick level. I nearly passed out trying to zercher 495. Both times it started to come off the pins and my vision blurred and I got light headed. I super setted the front squats and plancs with no to little rest between sets. I cleaned 245 to the top of my chest but couldn’t snap my wrist to rack it. Next time.
