I use bands for bench and sometimes deads. I like the feel and extra tension. They really helped with my bench. My left side has always lagged behind my right for some reason. I think the bands have helped correct this.

I love bands for pulls alot, the tension as you said really transfers over when I pull w/o them I tell myself when I do not pull with bands that they are still on so I use as much force as possible.

Bodyweight

Tricep and Bicep fuckery

Well on Tuesday I did deficit deads and yanked them too much even though I prefer yanking lol. My shoulder and neck were acting bitchy today . I had planned 225x10x1 on hang cleans but the end of the movement just was aggravating my shoulder too much. Did more bb movements today

Looking good Matt. Glad to read your bench is getting back up there. I like how throw in exercises I’ve never heard of and have to look up. Hope the neck and shoulder calm down.

Thanks bro! I am the hippster douche of tnation always doing stuff that people have to look up lol

Ok I will be embarking on a 6-8 week program that is not PL centric, the idea is to shed some fat while still lifting relatively heavy weights in a rest pause style, I will be training every other day using a rotation of workouts A,B and C with an added Olyish and Farmer walk day cuz I cant quit them. I hope to be in the 220 range when its all over, then embark on a PL peaking program on my way to my comeback meet lol.

I was doing good for a while and dropped to about 231 at my lowest. back up to 242…I dont want to be over 250 again.

soooo today went like so…

Back Squat Rest Pause (15-30 sec between sets) - 315x7,4,2,2,2,2,1
I squatted on sunday and plus some hammy and quad work (didnt post), I was pretty sore from that…this was difficult for me.

Incline Bench Rest Pause (15-30 sec between sets) - 185x10,9,5,5,5
Went to light on these so I went over the amount of reps, first time trying to gauge a 10 rep max so there is going to be some weight judgement errors.

Chins (neutral grip) Rest Pause (15-30 sec between sets) - 25x9,5,4,4
Again went a little over because of the 10 rep max scheme.

Dips Rest Pause (15-30 sec between sets) - BWx5,9,4,4
First time doing dips in years because it wreaked havoc on my shoulder, didnt feel great, but not horrible either will tread lightly

HS Shoulder Press Rest Pause (15-30 sec between sets) - 225x9,5,3,3
Did more than this but it seemed that this was the point where I should have it.

First day down, it felt good, squats were very tough as I usual rest a lot longer and I was sweating like a cat in a chinese restaurant

I like your new program and think it will really benefit you over the long haul.

Hey, that cat comment was racist, only yellow people can say those things!

(not serious -exactly the kind of comment I make irl and I plan to use it LOL! Or I’ll innovate and sub in dog in a Korean bbq spot giggle…)

Good luck Matty. What kind of diet are you doing? As a fat kid, that’s my biggest problem.

Predator diet, all uncooked meat

All of the rest pause work should help you with the weight loss goal. You are a volume whore and will likely handle it fine, I would be lying on the floor needing an oxygen mask half way through it. I did some rest pause work when Lilly was doing my programming and didn’t handle it well because I suck.

Thanks brother, Im a fat kid too, all my favorite things to eat are fried and fried. Its generally a low carb, nutrient timing type diet that I am following. So far so good, what I am having trouble with is getting the right amount of protein in on a daily basis the first few days I only got in 160-180 grams, yesterday 240 which was tough.

Thanks bro, I have to get out of my comfort zone, while the exercises themselves are pretty basic the short rest periods are really out of what I am used to. Coupled with an actual nutrition plan I think I may end out coming on top.

Following your new rest/pause program with intrigue to watch you get the results you desire and come out leaner and strong as bear.
