Tim, wanna know how awesome you are?

I extended my offer of buying a copy of Super Squats to a dude if he promised to upload/share is training journal for the full 6 weeks. I did this back in May. The dude said he’d start the program in June, once his exams were done.

I just messaged him, wondering where the logs were.

He relayed to me that he did day 1, panicked when he got to squat 17, made it through to squat 20, racked the bar, felt dizzy, and quit the program. And he just hoped I wouldn’t remember buying him the book…

You are leading the charge my dude.

I appreciate the kind words Pwn. Did that guy even offer to pay you back? That’s pretty messed up.

Your attitude, knowledge, and work ethic are greatly appreciated Pwn.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day! Regardless of the source, that info is valid. Except for maybe back off sets on ME day. I can’t co-sign that.

It’s been a few weeks, do you feel like any of the assistance work you’ve been doing is “carrying over?”

Can you feel yourself getting your hips and legs into the Anderson squats more after the front squat stuff and wide stance work? Can you feel the partial Glute/Hams teaching you to get the right hip tilt to use your glutes and abs out of the hole?

Great work by the way!

Is internship almost over? When do you head back tp school?

I 100% believe what I am doing is working. It definitely feels like it’s very possible to get stronger with squatting, deadlifting, good mornings even though I am in a deficit.

The only thing that doesn’t necessarily stink, considering it’s how one gets stronger, is that everything is training and I’ll never take the time to find out my maxes or anything like that. The constant variation changing doesn’t really help me directly gauge progress, but I suppose when I return to a certain variation my results will be blatant. My idea is to not return to a variation I’ve done before until I’ve ran out of ideas for new ones. The funny thing is that there are so many variations I can do.

My internship ends this Friday, and I want that second offer. I go back to school in late August.

That’s awesome, feeling like the plan is working and there is steady progress to be made. Right in the Gain Zone!

It’s OK to have a little bit of structure, or some kind of plan or way to gauge your strength and progress. It doesn’t have to be endless variety forever. You could pick a few lifts and do them every 8 or 10 weeks or something, to be sure your on track. It could be a variation, it could just be a heavy 3 or 5 reps, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a 1 rep max on a comp lift.

Did you ever powerlifter or anything?

What is the history of Flats?

Genuinely curious dude.

Incline Treadmill Walk - 2.4 Speed -12 Incline - 30 minutes

Unfortunately this session was pretty lackluster. It was worse than last week which isn’t a good thing.

So I have two theories

  1. The variation isn’t so different from the last one I did, so I’m getting too “good” at it.

  2. I can’t increase my bench on a deficit

Well let’s go with theory 1 cause putting in effort is better than sulking.

What I think I should do is try a different approach to training upper body. I believe benching less could help.

For example:

With legs you cycle squat variations, good morning variations, and deadlift variations

With upper body I can do
Weighted Dips, OHP, Dumbbell Bench, Weighted Pushups, Barbell Rows (and other movements I can’t think of) Weighted Chins, Weight Pullups etc

For example

Week 1: Repetition Effort Dumbbell OHP
Week 2: Max Effort Pause Bench
Week 3: Repetition Effort Weighted Dips

In other words! Let’s make upper body work random as hell instead of doing wack ass bench variations every week.

Hey Pwn have you ever went through the “fugly phase”/“”dead zone” when losing weight? The phase where you lost enough to look smaller but not enough to look lean.

Please tell me about your experience
