Flying through the air, man.

I set up a regular three cone drill with the last cone at the bottom of the hill, and proceed up the hill once I pass it. Sometimes it feels good to work yourself to death on something stupid

Masochist.

SO are you done race training now?! Back to heavy shit?!! :smiley:

DE Bench 19/07/2012

Bench with Fat Bar
50%x10x3 with Double Mini Bands

Pull Ups x50 reps
Upper Back x100 reps

Triceps x3 sets
Biceps x3 sets

Got in to train this morning before having a huge day of work travelling between two stores ( I work for GNC), and tried a sample of this 1MR pre workout stuff. I felt like I was going to have a stroke. Do not want.

I am done running around, for the most part. I’ll still do some cardio to control my weight if I have to ( I really like being below 200lbs), but I think that maybe my training will get a little heavier starting on monday!

Are you out at APC again?

Nope, I lift at Mount Allison ( and go to school there, a well). I started the 5/3/1 this week, hoping to take a nice long kick at this can. My weights are embarrassingly low, and my raw free squat technique is very, very bad. But this is a lifetime pursuit, right?

So, with that in mind.

Monday

warmup

Deads 3x5 ( 11 on last set)
Walking Lunges 3x10
Abs 3x10

Tuesday
warmup

Axle Press 3x5 ( 13 on last set)
Axle Press 3x10@75%
Pull Ups x 50 reps
Upper Back x100 reps

July 26.

squat 3x5/5/10
Good Mornings 5x10
Abs

My log/ my training are both so shitty haha

Very, very right. Also, glad to see you working on raw stuff. 5/3/1 in the long run is great.

I’m glad I finally started this raw stuff. I feel like these next months ( maybe a year?) are going to be spent building the foundation that I didn’t really have before.

This morning:
warmup
Thumbless wide grip chins B/Wx5x5
Bench 3x5/5/10
Dips- 50 reps
Rows-50 reps
Face Pulls-100 reps
ran a mile

I’m starting to think that I (and everyone else) should really start working on their raw strength a lot more before getting in gear again (or ever). Why did I get in a bench shirt when I had perfectly good shoulders and pecs (ie, injury free) and only had a ~275 raw bench? Makes no sense to me. Even if I wasn’t in gear for long, it still seems ridiculous.

Good job on getting back to the roots of lifting.

Also I think alot of guy that get into gear just get sick of it too early. I used to deadlift in a suit just about ever other week now with this shieko/more volume I can’t be bothered to put it on I’d rather just grab my belt and maybe my shoes and go to the gym

I think you’re probably right about that too. Not for everyone, though. I can speak for myself and say I don’t much like benching for an hour, then putting the shirt on and benching for another hour. That’s a slight exaggeration, but still.

I agree, I think that’ a good point. As far as the long training sessions go, I hate em. Benching or squatting in full gear with a group of 6+ guys would regularly take two and a half or three hours. That’s not my idea of a good time.

My shitty training:
been out of town since friday afternoon
ran hills on saturday and sunday
deadlifting later this afternoon

I’m throwing this up here because training upper back is awesome and great for you

Ahhh I can’t wait to watch this video at lunch. It looks like it’s telling me I’m doing my band pull aparts wrong.

I have no idea how some people find 4 hours in the gym enjoyable. I mean, I like training, but that’s just ridiculous. Even if I did 2 hours of fun shit like strongman events, I’d still get bored.

GL with deadlifts.

I think it’s more of a fun twist on a classic movement than a re-invention of the wheel. I tried them for fun today though, and it was WAY more difficult. I liked it. I hated being in the gym for three hours. I have other hobbies to enjoy ( and this was during the school year, so I was pretty bogged down with academics and shit).

Training today:
extra warming up due to stiffness from being in the car for four hours this morning
Deads x 3/3/7
Walking Lunges 3x
Abs 3x

Hill Sprints x20

Feeling awesome

up to 135x10
followed by an additional 5x10
Chins- 50
Defranco’s 3D BPA 3x10
Hillx15

“BBB” for your press? If so I think that will work nicely. Volume on the press seems to really help. Not that I have a great press :stuck_out_tongue:

I really need the extra 50 reps of practice haha, pressing is not something that I’ve done a whole lot of. I enjoy it, though. It’s fun to work on things that you’re awful at and see quick improvements at them.
