That’s what I keep saying haha, I’m pimpin’ out my new method, drink a dozen eggs an hour after your PWO shake, it’s doing wonders for strength.
Nice deads. [/quote]

With ya on the shoulders, been focusing more on them lately. I’m sure ultimately it will help my bench go up in the long run, I’m using that thought to motivate me.

Just dropping in traning has been limited by tendinitis and a sore back but finally hit deadlifts hard yesterday - got 180kgx3 rackpulls just below the knee and for deadlifts just failed to make 160kg I got it off the ground but it just rolled out my hand. Pretty sure I could have made it up. Next time that sucker is mine!

You didn’t use a mixed, grip, was there no chalk, or do you just need to get your grip stronger?
Used mixed grip but wasn’t thinking right and fingers slipped. raw, no chalk. Forearms have got a lot stronger - girlfriend noted it last night but still my weakest link
C_C I have tendinitis around my right wrist at the junction at the very top of the forearm. I have naturally tiny wrists and it keeps flaring up around the right - at the moment it can’t support that much weight. It is (slowly) improving. At the moment i can only do wide grip anything if I use a hook/false grip and no dips of course
. Think of getting some wrist wraps.
As for tonight 46kg (100 pounds ish) db rows for 8 either arm to finish off my upper body workout. Hell. Yes.
Bambi why ain’t you usign chalk? Gym doesn’t allow it or something?
As I’ve posted elsewhere, I finally hit a 605 sumo pull today. Damn I need to focus on my bench though…lol.
No reason; I need to get on it. I still have liquid chalk lying around from when I did bouldering perhaps I will try it out. Also start up pinch plate holds again; they did wonders for gripping
Congrats on the sumo pull that’s frickin’ beast

Why don’t you use wrist straps if your dropping the weight ?
Problem easily solved ![]()

Deadlifts fried my shit. My front squats show that as my top set is usually 315 if they’re first. Gotta increase that muscle endurance or whatever…meh.
DE Squat/DL
Been a while since I threw anything down on here. Im on a short fat loss phase right now to chew off a little bit of the fat I put on during my winter bulk.
Complex:
Standing Shoulder Press
Overhead Squat
Good Mornings
High Pulls
Barbell Rows
5 complexes x 105 lbs
Farmer’s Walk holding 85s, 4 lengths of ~15 yards (walk 15 yds, go back to beginning, repeat), 3 sets
My traps/forearms were pretty much done at that point…
Bench Press - 5/3/1
225x8
275x2 - 45lb PR
285x1 - 55lb PR
This was a huge PR. Realized it was mostly mental too. Plan on nailing a 315 bench by the end of the next 5/3/1 cycle.
Ironfreak are you doing a modified version of 5/3/1?
Congrats on the PR.
