Hey MiM!

Hi Powerpuff, welcome, and thanks for the comment. Regarding squats and bar placement, one thing I’ll say is that when placing the bar lower on your back, it will probabl feel like it’s going to slide down our back. It’s “normal” though :slight_smile:

Friday night training

Deadlifts
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 2
335 x 1
365 x 1 (heavy, but bar speed was constant throughout the lift)
*Didn’t want to push myself too hard

Hooked up the pro monster mini bands and did 225 x 5 x 5 (LWI)

Below the knee rack pulls
275 x 3
315 x 3
365 x 1 (Last time I tried this much I failed, so I’m calling a PR)
405 x 1 (Commercial gym PR, same max at home though, which makes me feel even stronger since I’ve been weaker at the.cg-but no camera damnit!) Form wasn’t the most beautiful thing ever, but the lift was solid and felt AWESOME. LWI, BITCH!

Shrugs
225 x 15
*Straps on
275 x 20
295 x 15

Seated face pulls
15/12/12/10

Was pretty beat after that, yesterday and today my whole back is fried. Solid workout.

Off day yesterday, had a yardsale all morning and into the early afternoon, and that shit is exhausting in itself.

Ate like a pig this morning, going to do shoulders/OHP’s tonight. After reading N’s meet report, I’m even more pumped.

AHHH so sweet…

NOW LWI SMALLFRY!!

:wink:

865

PR’s like a MFerrrrr!!! keep it up buddy

866

Thanks guys, I’m tryin!

So I didn’t get to my shoulder workout last night, busy with housework (BLASPHEMY!) so…my question is this…

Should I blow off shoulder training to get some squats done? Legs feel fine, low back is a little fatigued still though from DL’s. OR, should I do a bench workout instead?

I’m getting antsy to get my bench and squat up, and don’t want to feel like I’m “wasting” workouts not training one of the judged lifts, ya know? Both bench and squat need to go way up, and with a few weeks left, I feel like I’d be able to add a couple pounds to my squat easier than I could to my bench.

Thoughts?

867

Just do curls for an hour and a half. Having big arm will increase you’re squat and bench by at least 25lbs

868

Nice job ink.

If it were me, i would have the big three as my core or main 3 workouts. They would be my priorities. Then if desired i would either add in accessory/recovery days or add some shoulders in as part of bench day.

Just some thoughts.

I would holler at Meat for meet prep advice.

Thanks guys, I’ll shoot Meat a PM about it, but I am also thinking to focus on the big three, with a DE squat/bench day if I feel fresh enough for it between “main” days.

In other news, my singlet came in today, so I think I’ll squat tonight (didn’t get to it last night, as life has a way of butting in sometimes) in this sexy peice, under my regular clothes to break it in and see how snug and uncomfortable it is.

Clark Kent, anyone?

871

just don’t go commando in your singlet.

they do shit like that in SF.

ain’t funny ~

872

under the clothes? Blasphemy!!! You have to rock that bad boy… loud and proud my friend… loud and proud

also… I’m reeeeeeeeeeeally hoping that your singlet looks like either one of the end ones here. Thats how I would get mine but with a big screaming bald eagle on the back

(cropped out the faces cause its my buddies pic not mine)

874

Edgy, I won’t be commando, but I need to get some tighty whities…can I borrow yours?

Greg, mine’s just black with white edges. When my numbers are impressive, I’ll get the loudest, most awesomeest one I can find. We’ll see about rocking it in full beast mode tonight. If I’m feeling strong, I’ll tear down my clothes like an NBA player

Ink, can you take a pic of the clothes ripping thing for us ladies? Just askin’…

Seriously, your training looks good. Go kill it tonight and then give us the play-by-play.

876

Veg, there wasn’t any ripping going on, but I was how at hell wearing a t-shirt, singlet, hot ass pants [not hot “ass” pants, but they were very warm ;)], then a huge t-shirt over that, so after I did a couple warmup sets, the first T came off, and then before my last set, I dropped my pants while this dude was using the smith machine next to me. I know he liked it :wink:

This is my last “heavy” week before my meet, next week will be working up to openers, and then next Saturday/Sunday I’ll work up to all 3 openers in 1 session, as a “mock meet” run. Last chance to put in effort. Last chance to see where I’m at before stepping up on the platform in front of everyone in my sexy ass singlet :wink:

So, without further ado, last night’s training:

Squats

Bar x 10 x 2
135 x 6
185 x 3
225 x 1 x 3 (All sets felt perfect)
245 x 1 (Easy and smooth)
265 x 1 (Again, not as hard as I remember, smooth rep *vid)
280 x 1 +5lb PR! Took it “easy”, as I got a meet coming up so I didn’t want to reach 100%… (Vid)
155 x 20 (Never done 20 reps over 135 I don’t think)

Dead Stop GM’s
Bar x 8
95 x 5
115 x 5
135 x 5
*Felt good, stayed tight on every rep

Leg Press
2pps x 12
3pps x 12
4pps x 10
5pps x 5

GHR’s on a lat pulldown machine, with a “push” at the bottom
10/8/6

Done. Felt fantastic all night, and everything just flowed smoothly. I got my squat form locked down now, really digging the bar into my lower traps/rear delts, breath into the belt, unrack, 2 steps back and 2 steps out, breathe out and back in, ass back, GO! Also, when it got hard on the last rep, I tried prying my chest up to avoid falling forward and it worked perfectly. I got this thing. Damnit. I got this bitch.
