Magnus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 April 24, 2015 Before Supper Week 7. Gave the good ol college try with whisky and deadlifts. Needs more experimenting. Took a 1/2 oz shot prior to my 455 set onwards. Just did my deads tonight. At this percentage I feel like this is enough work. Glad with how easy the reps felt. Thinking I could probably do a four rep set but maybe I'm talking outta my ass with the whisky in me haha! Did some Duffin warming up. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 x 2r 315 x 2 x 1r 405 x 1 455 x 1 495 x 1 530 x 5 x 2r Damn, nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Hey Jason - I recall you were going to do a meet, but somehow I don't remember seeing a post with the results. Did I miss it? I was curious to see how you did. Work came about and buggered me about. I did a mock meet in the basement and did a vid. Went 8 for 9 missing my last deadlift. Squatted in my Tommy Kono sleeves and a belt. My totals were 525/345/555. I wanted 575 on the last pull but I got out of groove a bit. 1425 - that's a good total!

EricMilfeld Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 If I tried deadlifting right after a shot of whiskey it would probably come right back up. Unless maybe I went without a belt. Good stuff, Jason! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's really sore or anything, just an overall feeling of being tired. Seated BB Shoulder Press 45 x 3 x 10r 95 x 5 145 x 2 165 x 1 184 x 6 x 2r - one more week then I'll be back to standing presses for the summer.

Shoggoth Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 April 17, 2015 Before Supper Week 8. Rushed through a short one as going out for supper for Gail's birthday. Wore my belt and light 2 meter Valeo wraps. They were only on tight enough to stay on. Wraps definitely make my knees feel better than sleeves though. Put them on at 225 and didn't take them off until after my last set. Loose. Squat - elbows were still tight 45 x 4 x 3r 135 x 3 225 x 2 315 x 1 365 x 1 405 x 1 455 x 1 475 x 4 x 2r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 April 29, 2015 Before Supper Week 8. I was out of town in meetings all day today so not very hydrated or well fed. In the basement within minutes then off again once this gets posted. Busy busy!

Shoggoth Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 May 1, 2015 Before Supper Week 8. Done with the higher percentages for this cycle. Bit of Deads repping before starting the cycle again next week. Left the TnG deads out this week as I figure I'm already getting reps in. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 1 415 x 6 x 4r T-Bar Row w/V Handle 135 x 5 180 x 5 225 x 4 x 8r Band GM's Heavy x 2 x 20r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 May 3, 2015 Afternoon Week 8. Last workout of this 8 week cycle. Next time around I'll get outside to do some standing pressing for 8 weeks barring rain days. Seated BB Shoulder Press 45 x 3 x 10r 95 x 5 135 x 3 155 x 6 x 5r Spoto Press 260 x 4 x 6r EZ Upright Row 125 x 4 x 8r Plate Curl - I think it's been a couple of years since I've done these. It shows. When I write sets/reps out like this 5-5 means 5 right, 5 left, immediately 5 right, and then 5 left again. 25 x 5-5, 3-3, 3-3 45 Hubbing x a bunch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 May 6, 2015 Before Supper Week 1 of the 2nd cycle. Bench felt very good despite not hitting my planned reps. The 1st four worksets had good long pauses on each rep. The final AMRAP set I aimed to just be very controlled whereas 8 weeks ago I know it got a little sloppy. Also had a visit with the dentist and that doesn't really do much to fire me up. Bench Press 45 x 3 x 15r 135 x 5 185 x 3 225 x 2 270 x 4 x 3r, 6 Pin Press (10) 225 x 12, 10, 11 DB Skullcrushers 40e x 14, 14, 12 + a bunch of presses to burn out the tri's Superset Rear Ring Flies BW x 3 x 12r Band Pressdowns Avr x 3 x 20r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 May 8, 2015 Before Supper Week 1, second cycle. Had an ounce and a half of fine bourbon in three, half-ounce snoots during the pulls. A nice white American oak does wonders for clearing the head and getting all manly and crap. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 1 405 x 1 450 x 8 x 3r - recorded the last set to check my form. 3rd rep got out front a little but overall good. DO Speed Pulls 280 x 12 x 1r - these lighter speed pulls sure hit me good. Must mean I need to keep doing them. BB Row 280 x 3 x 5r Heavy Band GM's x 30 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 May 10, 2015 Afternoon Week 1 of the second cycle. First day this year with the standing overhead presses. I'm thinking I'll rotate 3x8 and 3x12 every other week and go for a peak at around week 6 or so. I'll follow this up with an attempt with a lighter weight to hit 20-15-10. I grabbed too much weight for doing this after my worksets. I'll use 95 and add weight each week as long as I keep hitting the reps. Delts got hit good. Busy day as I'm cooking for Gail and my parents for Mother's Day. BB Strict Press - Very 45 x 3 x 10r 95 x 5 135 x 3 155 x 1 175 x 3 x 8r 135 x 13, 7 95 x 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
