The Saga of The Charming Albino

Training Over 35 Lifter
321

so the occasional fig newton or pizza is that like accidental bacon,
and Im glad a “husk” powerlifter admitted the help you get from a belly is a ruse to rile up the more petite lifters.

Skid you need oreos

First off, know the playing field.
There are 45 cookies in a regular bag and 36 in a double­stuffed bag. How can
you not know this one? This is basic stuff! This has been America’s most popular
cookie since 1912, and many a great man has bulked up on these. The floral
design on the cookie has 12 flowers per side. This is another one that kills me.
How can you miss this when you?re putting away 45 in one shot?
If every Oreo cookie ever made were stacked on top of each other, the pile would
reach to the moon and back more than five times. If you can?t add a mile or two,
you aren?t even in the game.
The key is to pound the bag before your brain tell s you that you?re full. Some will
say this happens in 20 minutes. I say screw that! Try for a PR every time. Thi s
isn?t max effort stuff here. Thi s i s about nailing down the most cal ories in the
shortest time possible.

I usually refer to that ‘extra mass’ as my “Ab Warmer”. You know, functions like knee wraps.

Military Press -5’s Day
weight: 185
Mood: my ass still hurts

Mil Press
barx20
95x5
115x3
130x5
135x5
145x9 (PR +4 reps)(est max 185)

Pullups
BWx10x4sets

1-arm Ballistic Lateral Raises
55x10x3sets

Notes:

Sticking to bodyweight for pullups and going for sets to try and rebalance the lats.

I like the BLR’s - they work my abs as well as the back of the shoulder.

324

Nice PR on the Military!

And thanks… Now I know what Ballistic lateral raises are.

325

You could call them Bent over lateral DB swings too, I guess.

Yes, but BALLISTIC Lateral Raises sounds so much more hardcore!..not to mention cooler.

I do those two handed and call them bent over lat rows. I also do them with the palm of my hands facing out, reverse lat rows.

way nice PR skid!

I think I might like the BLR’s too…

329

OH press is looking strong Skid

I think the ballistic ness is pretty cool too.

Dig the ballistic thingy. Gotta try that next time around.

331

Damn! All my weight is going upstairs - those are some freakishly skinny legs in the vid.

Volume box squats man. Volume box squats.

332

BLRs? I call them DB Skid-aroos!!

333

I put a note in with the site tech support about changing my username. I really want that new nickname.

DL’s and GM’s tomorrow.

I’m thinking of varying volume of assistance work with the waves. More volume on 5’s days, a little less on 3’s day and minimal on 1’s day. Ramping up intensity at the same time. something like 12, 8-10, 6 reps per set. Still thinking about it…

334

If you get that nickname it would be
hilarious

whith no way to really spell it phonetically hi is the long version like highlariuuus

I have pretty broad back some jeans or shorts make my legs look like tooth picks
when they arent that bad.

Years of long distance runnging kept them small I will tell you a secret.

shhhh. dont tell.

bulgarian Split squats.

Defranco talked about it in an article

and he mentions it in wsfsbIII but I find it true.

page four.

I dont think your a skinny bastard.

335

It’s true, at least, that you’re not skinny. With your reputation as the forum police, the latter is still in question.

I can’t imagine that. 2 DBs? Where does the momentum come from?
