Are you only training like twice a week now?[/quote]
I had a really shitty bench workout so I didn’t even upload. Was a light day for squats so I didn’t post. I train 3 days a week atleast. Sometimes four if I feel like hitting upper back or some shit.[/quote]
So now it just looks like you only deadlift lol[/quote]
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Doing that Peter Rubish split know what I mean.
585 pull
11/17/14 - Change of pace today. Going to switch to benching every other week because I just feel that’s most advantageous for me overall in increasing my press. Also, where the fuck have I been? Not training of course. First week was a mandatory week off for me, and the second was…a combination of cumulative stress.
Log Press
110x5
200x3
250x5 pretty easily. Had 6-7 in me but I had to call it because I almost puked. (ended up throwing up shortly after). I think it’s Jack3d, tbh. That shit requires like 3-4 scoops to have any effect, if you’re anything like me ofc, and need a bare minimum of at least 350mg caffeine to feel anything lel.
With the way log felt today, it’d have been no surprise to have hit 290-300. Had to refrain from attempting a max press because I know I don’t need a kick to the balls right now lol.
Strict Overhead Press
135x1
185x1
225x1
275x1 literally just slapped on plates with like 1 min rest between each set and banged them all out.
Reverse Band Floor Press (black bands and zero band tension at top in rack position)
135x10
225x5
275x3
315x1
365x1
365x5 huge weight shift at like half way. flies up off the chest but cot dayum the last rep my triceps almost exploded.

12/4/14 - massive change of pace today lol. did no stretching or amping up for this workout. just went in with no music and just enjoyed myself. going to start push pressing, i’ve never felt my triceps get hit this way in a long time so im kind of eager to blow up my lock out strength.

Hey, Doge, I wanna talk to strongman vinny and not powerman Vinny for a moment. Man, can you teach me how to overhead press 275 after repping out more than 225 on another press exercise after taking two weeks off? Seriously though, your press is fucking beastly.

Sup Dogelord. I’ll always be a strongman because my squat and deadlift are shit and I can only pick stuff up over my head.
It’s a sad life. So many make me feel cheap but when I overhead press your deadlift max…is gud payoff.
12/8/14
Injured my right pec a little today benching. Nothing serious, as I didn’t experience any serious pain, swelling/bruising or limited ROM. However, I felt a click, and a rip as I ascended with 225 (planned to take it for reps) in the lower lateral end of my chest.
My warm ups felt fine up until 350 which felt misgrooved and awkward. Took 375 just for fun and attempted a back down set with 225 and that’s where it went to shit.
Going to skip my next press workout and take it from there.
Glad you didn’t drop a barbell on your leg again that was right facked!

Bro, bro, bro we gotta get something straight first… You only push press my front squat. haha
So does this mean you are going to return to strongman after wrecking some powerlifting meets? I think I might do a strongman comp (and probably embarrass myself) next November after I do a powerlifting meet or two.
edit: Sorry for bad English, but where were you when Csulli was kill? I was looking at logs of epic deadlifts, and saw that he hasn’t updated his log in eight days. T-Nation admins called and said “Csulli is kill” “no”.

lolol that last comment of mine wasn’t directed toward you. Also, not even sure atm man. I have to get my squat up above 500 first, and my deadlift a bit higher. A goal for a meet would perhaps be 1400-1450 with 1500 as a distant future goal. Totally precarious currently with my pec.
As for Chris, I was not aware of his dilemma lol.
12/14/14- Might start high bar back squatting now in oly shoes since today felt infinitely better than squats have ever felt as far as rep work goes, albeit with a light weight.
