Have never really felt the need to isolate my triceps so much. I will do it often but nothing crazy. Best tricep work IMHO is heavy floor presses and overhead presses.
12/21/14 - took squats for some volume again. honestly because I need to rebuild my technique and atm I’m still super tentative and I need to find my rhythm again. I am a much better front squatter than back.
Back Squat (no belt)
135x10
185x5
225x5
280x8
280x8
280x8
280x8
uncomfortable they felt, but ended up getting a really sick lower body pump. short term goal is to work up to 350 for 3 sets of 8 beltless. building volume before i begin training squats heavy again. my fucking right leg is still noticeably smaller due to the injury last March. Gotta get back into consistent squatting soooo bad.
1 mile farmers walk and that’s it.

Is this the real life? That sounds like it’d be hard, and painful as fuck.

I pace myself and use a moderate weight like 120ish per hand. But nope it’s very fun and not painful at all.

585x3 PR. plan was 600 for a double but i took 585 instead with anticipation that i wouldn’t even get it once. but I got a lil crazy and knocked out 3 so fuck yeah.
Still can’t do pull ups cause it fucks with my right pec. Ugh.

Got 19 inches with a pretty srs pump today. Will post a pic next overhead session so I can get a tri pump too.
Forgot to include my ab training.
Did some band resisted planks. I just set it up (band) in a rack horizontally and lie underneath it on my stomach so the band is on my low back and just plank. Easy way for me to train them weighted alone.
12/27/14 - Boys and girls…
Push Press (had originally planned to use the axle but said fuck it)
45x8
135x5
225x3
275x1

365x1 HUGE PR. And yes, it wasn’t even a push jerk. I fucking push pressed this bitch. As if that wasn’t enough, I tried it for a double, twice.
So, finally got 365 overhead at a bodyweight of ~235. The fact it wasn’t a grinder really shocked me. I have no idea how I managed to put this much over my head, but fucking shit, it happened.
Strict Overhead Press
185x10
185x10
185x9+1 push press. so fucking close to 3x10.

Nice PR. The first one looked so easy, was surprised you didn’t get a second.

Thanks a lot. I honestly felt the miss was not due to lack of strength, but a lack of familiarity with that high of a weight. Keep in mind, my PR on front squat is only 425.
Ridiculous! Great Job Man!

Thanks man, that was a big one that I had to make happen before 2015.
12/29/14 - 2 days to spare.
Front Squat (holy fuck!)

135x5 better, switched to cross arm. hurt my biceps.
225x3
275x3
330x1
370x1 feeling better, but my biceps feel like they’re going to tear. I understand you now Chris.
420x1 5lbs below my PR. Felt easy.
460x1 35lb PR. Been wanting this for a very long time. No knee sleeves, no wraps, just a belt.
Rushed today. Literally only had time for warm ups.
1/2/15 - was not up for deadlifts at all so i just destroyed my entire post. chain in other ways today. going to get back on a cube structure for my deadlift in the next few weeks.

also deadlifted 385 on an axle double over hand with no straps or a belt for fun. it was sitting on the bar from someone else and i was watching misha, KK and malanichev battle eachother last night with 440 so i wanted to see if i could do it.
