That is always very rough. Thanks Ben. Just sitting in my chair thinking about that it was one week ago tonight that I slept with him in this chair as he was having a bad night. He passed away on my chest at 8:00 Friday morning. Really miss the little guy. He was getting pretty old and tired though so it was coming.

Shoggoth Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Still weak as hell on bench but I noticed today I've been sick for about 3.5 weeks. Basically the amount of time of the huge dip. Anyways we held our first sanctioned grip comp out here on Saturday. Finally got my 200# 2HP and it was pretty easy. Sure I'm sitting at 215-220 right now. My numbers: 1.5" Block-set Gripper GHP6 x 1r - meh. Wanted to get the 7 but I haven't been too snappy this past week or so with the passing of Marty. 2HP Euro - 201.57# - PR 2" V-Bar 193.86# - 10-15# low. Didn't train for it though. Figured I'd do good enough to be in the pack. IM Hub - 60.17# Never did this in comp before so a comp PR. I think I've pushed around 70# with this back when I trained it. Grip Topz 1/2 Penny - 24.25# Very tough lift for all of us. This was my second time playing with it. Definitely a strength/technique gap with this key pinch. It'll be up in future comps for sure.

Shoggoth Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 November 2, 2016 Afternoon Bench derp. Come to the conclusion through getting significantly weaker and weaker on bench as the weeks go by that I need to go back to greater frequency and some heavier workloads. This last stint has freaking sucked balls. Weight loss hasn't been that severe in the past month but I've already gone from a weak 265 x 4 x 4 to 260 x 3 max today. Crap numbers to start with and this programming isn't helping (started after Sep 27). Back to some of my old stuff. Bench Press WU to 260 x 4 x 2r, 3 275 x 1 295 x f - see! Freaking sucking! Called it there. Frustrated. Euro Wrist Curls 58 x 3 x 8r Euro Picks 108/138/158 x 3 168/178 x 1 188 x 5 x 2r - 158 x 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 November 3, 2016 Afternoon Going to start throwing in some ladders starting today. I'm thinking of 2x per week benching working up to 4 ladders a session after a few weeks, squat 1x per week either with ladders or Sullivan's stuff, and alternate deadlifting and front squatting every week using ladders. Starting low on weight and assistance stuff. Low back is bugging me and my guts are terrible today. Hoping that this'll make me feel fresher all in all. Front Squat WU to 225 x 3 x 1/2/3r GHR 2 x 8r Ring Row 2 x 15r Ab Wheel 2 x 10r Thumbs and forearms still cooked from yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 November 4, 2016 Afternoon Start of the Shaf ladders for benching. Right now I'm planning on running it on Tuesdays and Fridays alternating shoulders and tricep accessory work. If I goes well I may throw in work on Sundays too. Bench Press WU to 250 x 3 x 1/2/3r Unilateral Side Raise 40e x 2 x 8r Rear Raise 40e x 2 x 8r Decided to start working with David Horne's Gold Bar Grip Topz attachment. Feels like a good palm pinch. I think I'll be able to put up some decent numbers in the 105's with some more training.

Shoggoth Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 November 6, 2016 Evening Day 2 of the ladders. Felt nice and crisp. Picked up the gap in my dumbbell collection today as well.

Shoggoth Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 November 13, 2016 Noonish Anniversary so getting my lifting out of the way to go get some Chinese food I also tried super-setting barbell rows with the bench (same weight and reps) and didn't care for it. Only did a couple of sets at the working weight.
