J4GGA2's Log: Becoming More Athletic

Cheers mate, it’s been a while since I’ve done rep work on my big lifts. I wonder where my limit strength is at :thinking:

1 Like

I’d say maybe 300-315 pounds. Work in the 7-9 range and find out

Yeah I was guessing that too. Before kyrpteia I PR’d at 285 x 2 I think, and 265 x 3 with a 3s pause

Did you hit any jokers? You PRd.

I probably should had, but no

I’ll probably do a leader/anchor set up and do 5x5 FSL + Jokers after 2 cycles

Just caught up man.
You can’t just ditch krypteia like that, I was looking forward to see what it would do to you :slight_smile:
On another note nice pr’s and I like the low low TM on the press.

I definitely got bigger and stronger, but the mental grind of doing the same workout every day was a bit too much for me

Cheers, all my TM’s are still pretty low since I only upped them the normal amount from Krypteia, so I’m hitting FSL for 5 sets of 10 pretty easily

I’m seriously considering moving gyms.

$25AUD/week for a proper PL and strongman gym with full programming.

I’ve done a trial there before and set a deadlift PR thanks to just one xue I got from the owner

If it’s financially viable I think do it mate.

The gym gives real time return on investment IMO compared to what most people blow their money on

You’re a focused kid, as long as you remember that your effort will dictate the results, not the program or the gym or equipment :muscle::facepunch:

That’s actually a great point I haven’t really considered. I guess the problem for me, right now, is that my sleep, recovery and nutrition are so shit I need all the help I can get :joy:

Monday 20th of May
Punch the Clock: Squat

TM: 90kg

No warm up

Squat, all 5’s: 3 pullups after every set

  • 20 beltless
  • 35
  • 42.5
  • 55
  • 62.5 belt on
  • 72.5
  • 80
  • 3 sets of 62.5

Shoeless again after a while. I am noticably weaker without shoes, not a huge shock

Wednesday 22nd of May
BBB: W2 C1 Press

TM: 32.5kg

4.5 hours sleep. It’s been a rough week…

Warm-Up:

  • Rusin Dynamic Warm-Up

Press / Bodyweight Chins:

  • 22.5 x 3 / 4
  • 25 x 3 / 3
  • 30 x 21 / 3
  • then 3 x 3 chins

I’m trying to hepburn some bodyweight chins between every set of my main work for each lift. Just because I like chins

Press / Meadows Rows:

  • 22.5 x 5 x 10 / Bar + 10kg x 5 x 10

BPA Complex: 2 sets

Roughly 45 minutes all up. I’m going to have to pull my training volume back since my sleep is not great. I’ll probably do BBB and no extra arm work on upper body days and just SLBBB and core on lower body days

Since I’ve now got access to some neat conditioning tools, I’m making an executive decision to do Triumvirate instead:

Monday 1: Squat
Tuesday 1: Hills
Wednesday 1: Press
Thursday 1: Loaded Carries (sled, prowler, handles, yoke etc.)
Friday 1: Deadlift
Saturday 1: Hills
Sunday 1: OFF

Monday 2: Bench
Tuesday 2: Loaded Carries
Wednesday 2: Squat
Thursday 2: Hills
Friday 2: Press
Saturday 2: Carries
Sunday 2: OFF

Etc

Just gonna be doing Wenning warm up + AMRAP set + Assistance, since I need to keep workouts sub 1 hour
