Bad choice of exercises, Started to fell it in the bicep… Guess I have to stick to cable rows for awhile longer.
Wasn’t expecting much today, Still very tired from the long weekend at Worlds Strongest Man and the 900+ miles I drove over 4 days. Eating wasn’t consistent… I was still felling sluggish and tired after half a Spike Shooter so I was just happy to get SOME work done.
I am going to keep the Strict Overhead in the 8-12 rep range for awhile as my muscular endurance in shoulders and triceps is garbage and I need to get this better.
Side Notes, Root Beer Surge tastes damn good
I FINALLY found a new house to move into, so I am moving on the 1st, the back yard has a patio big enough for tire flips and farmers walk so I am excited about that. I will probably take a few days off while moving.

Congratulations on a new place there Kalle! Sounds like you’ll be having fun there.
Yeah living in civilization will be nice, maybe some of my neighbors might even have teeth? One can hope…
Living on the coast next to the beach will be nice as well, I also should end up doing less driving for work as being more centrally located meaning more energy for training, should be good.
Saw your post in the SRC thread. Was this another encounter with the father/son duo that you laced into about the rack lockouts or a different tag team? Also, nice jedi mind trick with the chalk. Had me rolling after an aggravating day at work.
one in the same… i’m glad i could help you out:) i catch them watching us and then shaking their head. i don’t get it… they are small and weak. you would think they would say- “huh, maybe i should give some of this stuff a try.” but no… they want to continue to do partial reps of everything in the smith machine and hammer strength machines.
you just gotta say WTF!!

The more I read this stuff the more I feel blessed at my gym , Gave out one of those amlost yell grunts of death etc today getting that third rep on squats and my gym I get two reacyions. Smiles and people shaking there head as I crash the weight on the pins and or kids coming up asking “How do I get to do that” Great feeling LOL Pretty great
Im having a lot of fun with the kids if late, feels good to get them going on a solid plan early in life wish I had the same. Kid I have two suggestions EAT and lift a LOT of heavy shit for years.

Thanks Meat
Im pretty sure I got that 500 now I almost went for it today things were feeling pretty good but wanted that triple.
Im also very happy with the DB opressing I know that load aint to much but shit is starting to feel solid again on the right side not sloppy. Like I am getting the stabilizers back to control the weight and NO pain Good stuff
The GM’s In not sure whats up there 405 and up used to be a regular occurance. 365 was damn heavy today. It may be im doing a lot more prior to them, going lower and with minimal knee bend I dont know, But hell there working I still love that move.

Thanks for the props jthsiao and Phill!
Btw Phill, I think I need some Power Drive and a PWO recovery drink just after reading your workout, haha. Nice work there, that work capacity is damn high.
I think it was Justin Harris who said in a video that his buddy (also a BBer) didn’t lose strength when he dieted simply because he didn’t know that you were “supposed” to. I found that quite funny, but possibly pretty true.
It’s amazing seeing trainees who never work with maximal weights actually gaining strength quite easily while dieting, but of course it’s not so drastic for those of us used to it.

Those are great fucking points bro. Many people would make great progress if they stopped reading a bit LOL They allow there mind to be the limiter. If they didnt know there were negatives and limits hell theyd just keep rolling

okay… i have two things for you. first… be happy with the PR. missing PR attempts is BAD!! you already hit one… save the next one for next time.
Second… you don’t need to do all the warmups on the second ME movement. you are already warmed up. go right into your heavy stuff. I will usually do two sets at or above 90% and then drop for some reps.
other than that…looks good.

I certainly won’t disagree with your first point, as you said it earlier. I was SO certain I’d get it that I had to try.
Although I am curious as to why it’s so bad to try…are you referring to a physical or mental thing when you say it’s “Bad?”
And thanks for your second bit of advice. Next week I’ll just jump right in to it. And thanks for the idea of doing low reps/high weight and then dropping it to rep levels.
Man, I don’t post for a day or so and there are like 20 posts to go over. So that I don’t hog the thread with replies, let me thank those people who expressed b-day wishes.
Congrats to Kalle on his home.
Congrats to everyone on great sessions this week thus far.
<thinks “That does not cover everyone/thing, but it will have to do, due to current time constraints.”>

as phil pointed out, there are times when you hit an easy PR and you just know you can hit another one. those days are going to get fewer and far between as you train this way and get stronger. the reason i say it’s bad is for two reasons. one- missing big lifts often becomes a habit. after awhile it’s no big deal to miss them. you want to have all the confidence in the world going into that lift. you start missing lifts and often you defeat yourself before you even try becuase in your mind you think “i miss all the time… no big deal if i miss now”.
the second reason has to do with the CNS. missing a big lift puts a huge strain on the CNS. you want it running efficiently.
as you train this style a bit longer you will know where your limits are and when to not go for that next PR. slow and steady is the name of the game.
