Why do I need to explain? Is there a point you’re trying to make? I thought we were having fun.

But you squat a whole lotta weight. Which leads me to my next question…do you squat raw or do you wear a belt?
I’m wondering at what point do I start to wear a belt…I have a superior weak core

its tough to decide: wear a belt until your core catches up, if it ever does, or, build up the thickest waist imaginable just so you can squat a few lbs more.
personally, I consider a belt raw. esp bc my legs can handle a lot more weight than my core can, and I really dont like risking injury. I put mine on after I start to go over my bodweight. (around 175 or 185) although, Ive done 3 reps with both, just to help build strength and get my midsection used to stabilizing that kind of weight.
I foresee a lazy weekend with the rain threatening, so I went ahead and combined my leg workouts.
Today’s training:
Cycle 2, week 3
warm up, foam rolling, activation
Squats:
95x 5(warm up)
115 x 5
135 x 3
150 x 4(PR- I’ve decided to take squatting as seriously as deads and it’s really paying off in small ways. I’m not sure about my depth. I usually go below parallep, this may have been abit higher…but not quarter squats.)
Deads:
135 x 5(warm up)
185 x 5
210 x 3
235 x 5(yet another PR!I widened my stance somewhat, so I guess I cheated alittle)
Good mornings:
85 x 12
5 x 12 (95lbs -gone up by 10lbs)
Leg press:
5 x 15(95)
Hanging leg raises:
5 x 15
Ab wheel rollouts:
3 x 8
I see you train squats and deads in the same workout. How many days off will you take before training squats/deads again?
Just looking for ideas!

Thanks, C. I know my squats aren’t stellar, but i like to anticipate these things because of my iffy lower back.
The vain side of my brain doesn’t care for the Chuck Liddell abs, not even for squat glory so I’m going to start shopping for a belt this weekend.

Good question. I usually go by feel to be honest. I may be doing it all wrong so don’t quote me on this… 
Since I sprint, I consider that a leg workout as well, that way I’m not overworking myself especially since 5 3 1 is a weekly thing. If I don’t sprint, I do a light workout when the DOMs subside, usually by the 3rd day, to avoid injury.
i have no idea how to use any sort of equiptment, that and i’m a cheap bastard, so i do my stuff raw i guess. and it might be why i kinda get the big torso thing sometimes which i kinda like i’ve got a boy build and never been an hour glass and never will be, so i kinda dig the beef.
I’ve thought about a belt, but i just haven’t gotten there yet. i don’t consider that much of an aid really either though. more of a stabilizer i think, but i’ve never tried one. lemme know how the belt shopping goes and if it helps at all once you get one.
and great job on your prs!!

Yeah, I was thinking of it along the lines of a stabilizer rather than an added advantage ;-p
I hate to think of hernias. I think I got one last summer, I ignored it and it went away. I’m going to assume it was just sharp pain caused by heavy lifting.
I’ve been digging around EliteFTS, too much to choose from.
My new friend.
I’ve decided to work on my chins/ pull-ups as I do 5/3/1. My new goal is 15. I’m currently at 5 reps. Talk about lofty goals. My boyfriend thinks it’s extremely funny.
New goal is to shut him up.
That looks exactly like my chinup bar at home. I really like it, and use it several times per week.
Definitely that boyfriend must be silenced.

I am debating having him wake up next to the pull-up bar one of these fine mornings 
Only problem is he leaves earlier than I do.

i got one of those pull up bars too, and when i’m on my pull up bar flings–they are flings since they don’t last n more then a few days sometimes --its is cool to have …but umm…yeah. they are still pulluups and i still …irr…yeah.
but word, can you bf do em? i say make him put his money were his mouth is!
I got from 3 to 12 pullups in about a month just by shooting for 40 everyday. When you have it in the door you can bang out a couple at a time and not even notice!

I foresee a fling thingy…I’m kinda zoning out already…lol. But I’m glad I got it.
He can bang out an impressive number of them, as well as single-arm ones. He definately has the back to show for it. So, until I get there, I’m not gonna say a word.

I will try to aim for that many. I wasn’t sure what the magic number was, I know the more, the merrier.
Thanks.
Today’s workout:
Lower Body (emphasis on eccentric phase):
Front Squats:
5 x 5(75lbs; 6-0-1)
Hack squats:
5 x 5(140 each leg 6-0-1)
Box squats:

EDIT: I finally got my FA3(about time!). As much as I love coconut oil, I’m just never sure where to fit it so this will be a huge help. My best friend calls me a pill-head, adding 4 more capsules to the mix is not doing me any favors.
