Multiply Lifting and My Inevitable Death

End of week 3.

Warmups, then more tomfoolery.

  • Prone W-y-t-A holds

    • 3 rounds-20 seconds in each position. Use weight as necessary (I use 2.5-5 lbs bc the positions are difficult for those with poor shoulder posture)
  • Mini band Tricep extension

    • 2x25, rpe 7
  • Lat pulldown and seated row

    • 3x10-15 each, rpe 8
  • Rotational lateral raise

    • 3x10, rpe 7
  • Serratus wall slides

    • 3x10, pause at top squeezing serratus
  • Reverse grip Bench

    • 3x12, rpe 8 (use slower tempo in descent)
  • Flat Db press

    • 4x8-12, rpe 8
  • Tricep ext

    • 4x10-15, rpe 8
  • 2 Row variations (a pull down and a horizontal row)

    • 4x8-12, rpe 8
  • Bicep curl variation

    • 4x15-20, rpe 8
  • Single arm standing Db/kB press

    • 3x15/side, rpe 8

This is definitely outside my normal training and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. I’m invested into it and i think it’s going to pay off in dividends. Just requires a lot of work.

I need to decrease the time it takes me to get to the main movement- thats probably my biggest issue right now. Especially on lower days.

Warmups:

Lower

  • Deadbugs (draw abdomen inward and keep knee high toward chest)
    • 2x10/side
  • Hip hikes
    • 2x15/side
  • lateral lunge
    • 2x10/side
  • Front elevated split squat (lean hard into the front ankle for mobility. Keep back leg straight)
    • 2x10/side
  • Rear elevated split squat (drive rear leg down into bench to activate hip flexors)
    • 2x10/side
  • Glute bridge
    • 2x30sec-1min
  • Goblet squat, slow tempo and pause in bottom, glute squeeze at top
    • 2x10
  • Raw front squat
    • 3x5, rpe 8
  • Single leg squat to box/bench
    • 3x15/side
  • Banded toe raises
    • 4x15-25 each
  • Psoas March (vacuum abdomen inward)
    • 4x30sec

So there’s something going on for sure causing my lowerback/Hips/vagina/something to feel wonky on things like front squats, RDL, conv deadlift, working all that out is a biatch. I felt pretty crappy I could only front squat 185 x5 beltless put a belt on and I could do 225 for 3x5 RPE8, but clearly there’s something affecting my bracing and stability.

More brick work.

The W-Y-T-A’s I think currently.

I don’t like any of the lower stuff because it’s my major weaknesses lol. 90-90 hip lift is a good one though.

Squats felt pretty good, body was mostly moving how I wanted it to. Depth was a bitch but I was also super bloated so that never helps. 540 was super high but :man_shrugging: that’s gear baby.

ME Upper

Same racist shirt as last week ( got some new ones on the way ) sadly my overkill won’t work for me. The seam sits too low on the tricep so there’s no way I’ll ever touch.

365 x2 off a 1 board, more than last week at 1 board lower so I’ll take that as a win, 375-380 was in the books probably but not worth it.

SSB JM presses 135 3x15
Biceps 2x20/2x20 working my way into 4x20 with a weight then moving up in 5lb jumps for 1x20 of the 4 sets until i’m at 4x20 with the weight then repeat.
Copenhagen planks 4x30s

Once again the goblet squat walking lunge combo destroyed my legs.

Speed pulls felt pretty good. Overall solid day.

The incline was a biatch with that timing. 95lbs lit me up, the 3s negative was ok but adding in a controlled 1s up was tough. I’m sure next go around will be easier.

Did better on the laterals this week, used 10lbs, no box. Deadlifts were ok up until that last one and as I’m typing this I notice it was supposed to be block pulls. My start position was off but what else is new lol. Overall solid day with 500 and some chains.

Squat stuff… was pretty beat up from Friday still so did a lot of extra activations and warmups.

Worked up to 580 for a single on the duffalo, could of maybe squeezed 30lbs extra onto the bar but totally not worth it.

If you’re actually reading you will notice I’m not doing a ton of accessories or builders currently. Doing a lot of corrective stuff to fix imbalances. Seems to be mostly working, i’m slowly feeling my body get into a better state of movement.

still good work for sure

Yeah, i probably need to update my log lol, just been doing the thing.

Inzer LUP :heavy_check_mark:
Titan Boss briefs :heavy_check_mark:
Katana angled sleeve scoop neck kens collar :heavy_check_mark:

Got all my new gear in, going to see if I need a pair of briefs for deadlifts.

On week 13 or 14 of my initial 20 weeks, I feel like I’m getting pretty close to where I was in January just got to learn all the new gear.

Starting week 18 of my 20 week off season. That will put me at 19 weeks out from my planned full power meet. February 20th 2021.

Feeling pretty good most days, my glutes are still giving me lots of issues, elbows recently have been crabby but some intense massage seems to have calmed that down, now just to keep them healthy for a month.

I decided to jump into a bench only meet for a charity October 17th.

Training has been going pretty well. Squat’s been moving well, bench is coming together nicely in the Katana. Deadlifts I’m undecided lol. Off the floor in the LUP it was decent, off of blocks it was very iffy. Might end up with a dead lift specific suit.
