Hey Git! Nice to see the wraps are working for ya. Awesome on the PRs!

And thanks for the link to the flexibility info! This is something I greatly need to work on. I also like how the snatch vid is this tiny girl in tiny shorts - even I wouldn’t dare…[/quote]

thanks!

And re: shorts, please go to Strength and Conditioning videos on the site, see Single Leg drive on the right and report back. kthx

HAHAH! Glen Pendelay knows where its at!

Anyways, those girls must be track athletes with their long, sinewy legs…If I worked out in boom boom shorts, with my thighs, everyone would be like “what’s that noise? Is there a seal in here? Wait, it smells like something’s burning…is that seal on fire?”

HAHAHA…is that seal on fire?..HAHAHAHA. You funny

Maschy, thanks for the laugh…first one today!

Git, look at you go on those squats! That was some awesome leg day.

I don’t train partial squats per se…but I do train box squats to slightly above parallel. Since I’ve just gotten out of rehab for squat depth, all of my free squats have to hit depth as I’m consolidating my new depth-knowledge.

Actually I don’t train rack pulls or board presses either. Rack pulls don’t address my pulling weakness, which is breaking it off the floor. And board presses seem like overkill when one’s one rep max is only 92 lbs.

I can so totally relate.

Found a guy locally selling a solid rack with pulleys, bars, olympic DBs, 400lbs of weights and some other stuff. Saves me a bunch of $$. He is on the fence though. Says he wants to use the stuff but is “too lazy”. Yay for lazy.

Weiner-faced lazy ass decided not to sell. He’s not going to use it, he’s just doesn’t want to confirm that he is lazy by selling.

The search continues. Probably the Rogue stuff.

Cycle 6, Week 2 (5s)

Weight = 198. I’m up about 5 lbs in the last 5 weeks. Need to slow this a bit or I’ll catch the fatz.

OHP
110 x 5
120 x 5
135 x 5…doing prescribed reps only this week
115 x 10,10,7 (rest period too short. out of gas)

Flat DB bench
55 x 5
65 x 5
75 x 5
80 x 5
85 x 5

Preacher machine for mah bicepts
5 sets

Cycle 6, week 2 (5s)
Weight = 199 (+1 lb)…putting weight on relatively quickly after stallng for 2-3 months. Once I get to 200 I’ll tighten up a bit. Or maybe do some cardio.

Deads
225 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 5…boooring. By taking it easy this week I better hit a home run in week 3.

Neutral Chins…a bit harder with the extra few pounds
7,7,7,7,5

Cable rows supersetted with pulldowns
3 x 10

^Send me your diet ASAP will ya!!! I need all the xtra I can get.

Nice work on the chins.

Even just a half a pound more destroys my chinup ability. Looking big and strong in here.

In case you was bein’ serial, I might as well toss it up here:
Breakfast - 4 large eggs with cheese maybe ham, cup oatmeal, coffee, juice
Snack - shake made with milk, frozen banana/strawberry, 2 scoops whey, full fat yogourt, cottage cheese, olive oil, maybe some powdered greens
Training - shake with powdered Gatorade, whey/aminos, creatine
Lunch - leftovers if I’m organized but there were a few double cheeseburgers or other hi-cal crap in there
Snack through day - 1-2 cups of nuts
Supper - whatever, something proteiny + rice/veggies
Pre-bedtime - 1-2 scoops of whey with milk/water and natural PB on slice of bread

Not set in stone but that is the general idea.

you can add weight and still kill the chins. very jealous.

Absolutely I was being serious. Putting on wt has always been my biggest hurdle. So, thanks for that.

Its expensive to feed you. Whereas, me…I’m a cheap date.

^Cheap would be the last word to ever come to mind in speaking of you Kimba.

How many calories is that, because it looks like a shit ton.

Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t think it is a hyooge amount but it would be an interesting exercise for me to check. I’ll give it a go.

Cycle 6, Week 2
Bench…forgot my log so kinda made it up
135 x 5
160 x 5
190 x 5

CG bench
185 x 3,3,3,3,3

Incline DB…1 minute rests
40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85 x 3, 90 x 2 + 55 x 12

Preacher machine curls
4 x 8-10

Not sure what to make of sticking to prescribed reps in week 2. Hard to bring much enthusiasm to it.

Did a tally of a typical day. Some will be less. Few would be more.
calories = 3400
carbs = 295g
protein = 270g
fat = 165g

Keep in mind that lately (last 3 months) I’ve been doing ZERO cardio. Some scheduling related. Mostly lazy.
Yes Kimba, I know. I know…I’m starting tomorrow. Or the next day. For sure.

^& you’re putting on wt w/those numbers? My post workout shake is that alone & I’ve only put on 2lbs in 3 weeks.
