GuineaPig’s Training Log - Hunt 300 Deadlift

12/1/18

Muggy day at Iron Revolution for some gains. Last meal was big and an hour from working out so felt a little bit bloated around the midsection but could just be my imagination

Squat
150kg x 3,3,3,3,3

Feeling beat up on squats so dropped the weight to 150kg and reps to the lowest end of the rep range. Reps felt better as time went on.

Hmm was thinking today that I feel kinda better dive bombing reps.

Front Squat
100kg x 4,4,4,4

Front Squats feeling alright so more reps and sets. They are smashing and bruising my clavicles and throat more than anything but my mama ain’t raised no bitch. Lifetime rep PR at two cookies is 6 I think… or was it 7. I remember my 1RM was 115kg though. No rush just gains and that’s a good thing because back squat is feeling pretty shitty recently.

Bench
85kg x 11,8,7,8 Rep PR

Bench set up felt good today… for the first few reps lol

Meant to do volume but decided to go ahead with 8s and rep it out and if there was a rep PR there would go for it.

And there was a Rep PR there today at an RPE 10 in all its uneven lock out Guinea Pig life flashing before my eyes glory. No film though so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

Bit awkward cos 11 reps doesn’t go in my rep PR recorder (max of 10 reps) so time to increase the weight next workout. Finished off with some more reps for a volume PR too.

OHP
40kg x 9,9,9,9

Not so casual anymore on the OHP with the last few reps slowing down with less than 30 sec rest between sets (enough time to hit a warm up stretch for deadlifts).

Sumo Deadlift
190kg x 6,4,4,4 Rep PR

Working up the weight felt heavy af so wasn’t anticipating a good top set at all but once the straps were on 190kg moved well for a Rep PR. Phone ran out of batteries long before this so no top set.

Also why are straps so much easier than mixed or hook grip? I remember someone saying that it’s almost like an assistance movement for your comp deadlift.

Anyways pulls felt better as it went so ended doing some 4s after. May or may not move up to 195kgs next session… maybe.

No time for more bullshit so I’m done there.

Nice session.

For front squats, try protracting your shoulders further, if you can, so the bar can rest in the hollow between your delt / top of your pec and clavicle. The bar is never actually on my clavicle but maybe I just have a better delt / pec shelf to rest the bar on ;).

Also try and focus on keeping your back angle at the bottom of the front squat, quite noticable that your hips shoot up an inch or two before the bar starts to move, could be your upper back collapsing a little. Still looks sexy just staying tight might be something to focus on.

Depending on how loose your straps are, you may be pulling from a slightly better (higher) position. Same goes with hook grip over double or mixed grip albeit less noticeable.

What Irish said. Also security of the grip gives you more confidence to pull at 100%. I think Physiological as well as psychological effect, when your grip starts to slip you naturally reduce effort because you don’t want to be pulling at 100% if/when your grip goves way, protective mechanism.

All that tren has buffed up your upper chest and delts is all lol

Thanks for the advice though. How’s Sheiko and your diet going?

First week experience on Sheiko has been good, I like the high volume approach and feels like its going to help me grove my lifts for the comp. Squatting again tonight and looking forward to it.

One of his Bench specialisation programs might be what you need in 2018.

Diet still 100% so far this year, no cheats and calories / macros hit every day and down 4.5 lbs total after Wednesdays high carb day.

531

I vaguely remember you having a lot of weight to lose…

532

Haha maybe if I had your power belly but right now it just makes putting on the belt awkward cos in between notches

Im dropping another 13lbs total to lift in the weight class I’m aiming for. But only looking to do half that through diet, the other half through carb depletion and, worst case scenario, a little bit of water cut.

1lb a week for the next 7 will do me fine.

Good luck but it sounds like you got everything sorted so don’t need any luck.

I’m dieting too. The KFC Diet where you eat KFC and get fat. No seriously I’ve been slowly dropping weight fir about a month now.
