Yeah, if I didn’t feel like a bag of poo yesterday I would have done a true GVT with 10 x 10.
My form feels pretty decent these days and I’m kind of curious how heavy I could go with skwats.
I don’t remember his name but I’ll check when the results are posted on the website.

Frenchie, he looks comfortable in his posing that is for sure. I’ve already started working on mine for next year.
I HATE being sick!
No training for 3 days now.

Focused anger can be awesome for training. Just don’t head-butt the power rack.

Sorry to butt in your thread…as a newbie this one took me completely by surprise this week when i left my last shift completely ‘angered up’ and had an awesome (for me session) blowing right through my previous best in the deadlift.
It’s not something i would want to repeat very often…took me hours to come off the resulting high.
And i was going to say that head butting the power rack may have better than head butting the manager that got me riled !!
(didn’t–but close)
Why are so many old meatheads (and new ones) so angry this week ?
It’s so true Git and Nurse. It’s that little bit of anger adrenaline that pushes you through plateaus. Generally speaking my hoodie goes all the way up, the volume on my iPod increases and I just crank out rep after rep and set after set until I forget why I was angry to begin with.
Last night was a quick session.
A. Low Inc DB Press
10 x 75lb’rs
4 x 8 x 80lb’rs
**I felt weak as shit pressing tonight but seemed to get through it OK
B. Seated HS Inc
2 x 12 x 1.25pps
3 x 8 x 2pps

25/20/15/12/8 x whatever weight (pyramid up in wgt)

3 x 8/8/8
**drop set each set
**lowered starting weight on each consecutive set, kept rest to 30secs tops
E. Side Lateral Partials
4 x 10 x 30/15
**this is where the first 10 reps are with the heavy weight and only the bottom half of the movement and the second 10 reps are with lighter weight and the top half of the movement. I think Meadows prescribes 1/3,1/3,/13. These will get blood in your delts
Finished with abs (targetting obliques)
One day, when I have some muscle to cut up, I’m going to try training like this.
Its obviously working for you.
That’s funny Joe cause I’m at the point I want to start to push my numbers up again…
