Panzerfaust vs 2012 - 531 Full Body

Strong workout Panzer :slight_smile:

Nice squat, bench and row.

Your row is getting impressive :wink:

Doing hip thrusters with your own bodyweight is no fun…you should be doing them with a hot girls bodyweight instead.

Just count yourself lucky I didn’t upload videos of them!

But yes, I do agree. Actually I could forego my “NFC4LIFE” stance and invite a local BBW over to help me out with them. My glutes would benefit from the extra weight, and she would benefit from the associated ego kick of batting out of her league = win/win. Except I’d be miserable and likely start cutting myself.

Good idea except for the cutting part…lol. I’ll have to keep checking to see if the thrusters help your lower lifts out.

Yeah I am trying to fix my deadlift lockout. I did a couple of cycles with Rack Pulls, but they are hard to fit into my lifting schedule. They will return, but for these next two cycles I am concentrating on bringing my shitty bench up.
So I figure hip thrusters to get the glutes firing at the start of my workouts, plus heavy kettlebell swings to exhaust them afterwards, should help with my lockout in the meantime =]. Hopefully!

Cheers

Since my weight has stalled again at 93kgs I have decided to add a shake to my diet.

As my body is gay and refuses to accept whey, I have crafted it from the following:

1 cup almond milk
1 cup probiotic yoghut
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 whole eggs
handful walnuts
Tbsp peanut butter
Tbsp ground seeds
Vanilla extract

…surprisingly tasty! And weighs in with approx 50g protein, 30g fat, 30g carbs.

If this doesn’t make me get fat, nothing will!

Video from Monday, complete with horrible benching

Oh… I fucked up the music on this so please if you watch it - mute it!!!

NOTES:

-Without my new Doom Shake I donâ??t think I would have made it through this workout.

-Squatting felt good during this workout; I hit good depth on all my reps, particularly the singles.

-Pressing was tough after max effort squatting but I still hit my targets. I am trying to focus on full body tightness and slow descent.

-Weighted chins performed as mini super sets. I would strap on the weight and do a set with each grip without a rest. Then I would rest and increase the weight.

-Speed bench was pretty fun actually, though it wasnâ??t as fast as I would like. Hahaha.

-Focusing on upper back tightness with kettlebell swings.

-Song title to reflect my post workout feelings: Snowgoons â?? Been Fighting Devilz

whey concentrate gives me major indigestion and gas, but whey isolate and micellar casein don’t at all… have you tried whey isolate? there are also other kinds of protien powders… like egg based, pea based… etc…

that being said your new “doom” shake looks pretty good anyways

Yeah man, have tried all milk-based proteins and they all kill me. I get bad nasal congestion, throat swelling and eventually chest infections haha… very fun.

But I actually just ordered 2.5kgs of Carnivor, a beef based protein powder. Sounds digusting, but we will see!

And yeah the Doom Shake is more of a mass gainer methinks, considering it contains around 600 calories haha. I’m going to use it for pre workout and for breakfast on rest days.

Looked like a strong workout to me Panzer :wink:

Looking forward to see the vid, especially the single at 220kg in DL.

^ Thanks! I wanted to do abs and kettlebells but it was like 10>30pm and I was fuckin hungry haha…

@mightymouse - I have a video a few pages back of my shaky 500lb pull. Comparing to today’s video, it looks like I am good for a non-shaky one now. Rack pulls, heavy kettlebells and glute activation seem to have fixed my lockout.

Argh… my Carnivor beef protein arrived today… unfortunately the tardmaxes at the supplement shop sent me Carnivor MASS not Carnivor ISOLATE… so now I have 5lbs of mass gainer.

On the bright side it’s nicely flavoured.

forced bulking phase!

I recently bought a 6lber and its full of concentrate so i can only have like 1 scoop a day without getting horrible horrible gas. goddammit at 1 scoop a day its going to take me forever to get rid of this stuff.

Haha protein gas is the worst!

I am actually trying to gain weight to up my bench anyway, so I guess this is ok. I’d just rather avoid powdered carbs haha. But meh, could be worse - I could have AIDs.

Weighted Situps
20 x 15kg

NOTES:

-I was extremely pleased with my squats today, they were deep and felt strong. My 155kg single was the best yet; I am attributing this to the thrusters. I say this because I really felt I was recruiting musculature which is normally dormant during my squat.

-Benching continues to feel weak. I need to be more positive and perhaps really visualise improvements before I will see any. Visualisation works well for my deadlifting in particular.

-I superset the chins with kettlebell swings.

-Today I tried single arm swings, and really liked them. They hit my lower back and hips more than the 2 handed version, and really burnt my lungs.

-I know I say this every week, but fuck abs.

-Song title to reflect how I felt post workout: Dying Fetus - Skullfucked

And a video:

I was glad it was required reps only week… as I don’t think I could have got many more on my bench set. FML.
