I will be upping food soon, I had thought I might of lost some weight from my body carrying less glycogen or something odd like that related from dropping the high rep work that I was doing as my body weight seemed to drop a little when I did that. I actually noticed my self looking ‘smaller’ in some muscles that got most of their work from high reps.
As for drinking milk, I do drink a pint and a half a day, and consume 3850 calories a day, I’ll up that to 4000 a day if I don’t gain back any weight from getting higher rep work back in and will still up the calories if the weight gain is slow and mostly from muscle.
315X5 sumo deadlift, completely calm and reset every rep
snatch grip deadlift 255X7 reset every rep and definitely had more left
zercher lunges 105X15
shovel deadlifts 80X10
Huh… A lot of deadlifts today. The sumo deadlift was my old 1 rep max with it that I am not sure that I had locked out completely when I did it and was going balls to the wall when I had gotten the max, now I got it completely calm and locked out all reps/didn’t hitch any of them :).
Just started overhead pressing for the first time in January, so pretty happy with those numbers. For now anyway. First time deadlifting off the floor was also in January (first deadlifting since lower back injury), so I’m also psyched about near 2x bw DL.
255X10 snatch grip deadlift
275X3 3 second pause medium stance low bar squat for an easy set
115X11 zercher lunges
90X5 shovel deadlift
For some reason I am getting a shaky descent which makes it harder to remember to sit back ( still do, but not as much). I basically stop on the descent multiple times for some reason as if my body was trying to stop myself from squatting.
I also should of gotten 285X3 but I had decided to dump it for some reason on the second rep, or my body just gave up.
Barbell Strict Press: 155lbs + Red Mini Bands for 5. I used my feet to anchor the bands so there was quite a bit of tension at the top.
DSSG- Hey man did you do the Snatch Deadlifsts before the Squats or just list it that way. I ask because of Ipulled a PR in that movement espeacially high reps my lower back, glutes, and hams would have been completely smoked making the decent of my Squats very shaky… just a thought
Nah, I just listed it that way. The squats were actually a ME exercise of the day. I think it is mostly that I need to squat more in the 1-3 range to get used to heavier weights rather than my hamstrings being weak. I’m sure I can get 285X3 or 290X3 next time for the pause squats.
I’ve never squatted til about two months ago. Form was shit and w/e but I’ve been squatting liek 4 5 times a week and i went from 155 to 350! Just get the form right and it’s easier from there.
Just PRd at 225 for 3 today too
looking forward to breaking 350 on deadlift though.
