Yeah they do.
But I did mention raw in the post and the video is called RAW Squat, so you might have been able to figure it out haha.[/quote]

I try to keep things RAWWWWW in this log since that’s what I find the most appealing.

Regular is fine. Nothing that gives me extra strength in the hole though.
Otherwise just a pair of knee sleeves and a belt when I get one. Probably wrist wraps as well if they’re allowed.
Damn that’s a strong fucking squat.
Rawdoggin’ erryday.
Cycle 3 Week 3 Squat
Morning weight: 78.8kg
Surprisingly low since I’ve been home for a couple of days.
Squat
20kg x 8
2 x 60kg x 5
2 x 100kg x 3
130kg x 5
145kg x 3 Video
162.5kg x 1 Video
170kg x 1 Video
The triple was really lousy but the singles were fine.
V-Grip Pulldown
“50” x 8
“65” x 8
“80” x 8
“90” x 7 PR
“70” x 8 drop
“55” x 8 drop
“30” x 12
Felt really good. Getting into position on the top set was a bit of a hassle.
Floor Press
20kg x 8
60kg x 5 (All sets after this were technically PRs since I’ve never really done this exercise)
80kg x 3
85kg x 3
90kg x 1
95kg x 1
60kg x 15
All reps with a 3 count pause. The high rep set seems to hit the upper chest nicely.
Some ab stuff.
Diet wise I’m going to try something new. I’m going to follow the anabolic diet to see how my body reacts to that. At the same time I’ll up my calories a bit.
Video (I really need a haircut):
Very nice squat for your weight, especially beltless and below para. I’d be very to hit that weight this week when I max but I’m like 85.5kg…
Thanks.
I felt nice to put on a little weight again. Still pretty disappointed with my squat though.
My trick is not having any back muscles. It really saves a lot of kg when you step on the weight.
I’m sure 170kg will be no problem for you.
Yes yes yes very nice squat and damn you making my 1rm look so light at a lighter bodyweight. You have a lot more in you with that quality of form and bar speed, it’s just how much you want it with squats…
Thank brah.
I don’t completely agree that it’s looking “so light”, just look at my strain face.
In other news I’m considering switching to another gym. There’s a pure powerlifting/weightlifting gym in town with loads of strong guys. Many of them much closer to my age.
I’ll definitely go for a tryout sometime soon.
Your squat form is so pretty, mirin hard.
Squat form = hot body amirite?
Thanks

Then look forward to tomorrow where I’ll try a 3 plate front squat (unless I die unracking it)

As The Kurgan says: “It’s better to burn out than to fade away”
You better film dat bish.
I definitely will.
I went for a long walk today so I guess that classifies as cardio. I have a forest nearby and I wanted to see how big it was so I ended up walking for an hour. I might even start doing that daily when I’m done with exams.
I even ran into a deer so it totally felt like home.
Cycle 3 Week 3 Bench
Morning weight: 78.9kg
Bench
2 x 20kg x 8
2 x 50kg x 5
75kg x 5
85kg x 3
95kg x 1 Video
100kg x 1 Video
105kg x 1 Video
90kg x 4
All paused, although the pause on the last set was probably to short to pass at a meet. The last set was quite a grind. At least I know where my sticking point is now.
Front Squat
2 x 20kg x 5
2 x 60kg x 3
80kg x 3
100kg x 1
120kg x 1
130kg x 1 PR Video
140kg x 1 PR Video
Sorry to disappoint you Phlegms but I didn’t die. I might have to do these paused since I’m loosing tightness in the bottom. It was way harder than it looks on film.
Bent Over Row
20kg x 12
50kg x 12
70kg x 10
80kg x 10
50kg x 15
Need to take it easier on these. Too much body english on the top sets, so the 50kg felt much better.
Band Pullapart
50 reps in 4 sets
Band Face-Pulls
50 reps in 3 set
Band Pushdown
100 reps in 6 sets
Ooops. Forgot the video at first:
Not a bad workout. For my next cycle I think I’ll be heavily inspired by the Irish 5/3/1 mob.
You’d never done 130 before, and you got 140? FML, nice work. Taking those back squats so deep has clearly paid off with the transfer over to it.

The highest I’ve done before is a triple with 120kg, so the 130kg were only a PR because I’ve never tried it before.
Yeah the squatting part of the lift is no problem. The problem is keeping proper bar positioning and the OMGIMGONNADIE feeling I get when I unrack the bar.
Just seen the vid… Made it look easy man! Weight flew up.
I find unracking really easy, but when I try to draw breath just before decent is horrible. Might just try holding my breath the whole time and hope I don’t pass out.
