Shoggoth Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 March 30, 2016 Before Supper D1B2 Squat.

Squat 45 x 3 x 3r 135 x 3 225 x 2 315 x 2 365 x 5, 5, 3 - dammit! Bottom of the 3rd rep on the eccentric I felt a little twist to the right and whammy. Zapped that niggled spot on my right hip again. I'll call 'er here. Maybe take a deload next week and hopefully come back better.

Keep up the hard work ! Thanks buddy! Funny. Manthos was commenting on my stuff this morning and here you are again too. The old crew! Haha! March 31, 2016 Noonish D2B2 Bench. My body is freaking busting apart!!! First workset on bench and my left medial delt (which has been bugging me for a few months) gave me a good zap. Fhaak!!! Maybe just hit it again after a relax period. Maybe some grip but body workouts until this time next week. Next Thursday and Friday I'll do very light (70% working weights and volumes) to keep my groove and begin another cycle after that. Reverse Grip Bench 45 x 3 x 10r 135 x 5 185 x 3 225 x 3 255 x 2 285 x 5.... YTWL's x 4 x 5r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yep It sounds like you need a week of active recovery man. When things start tweaking, more and more things pop up and it's just the body's way of saying "leave me the hell alone!" haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 April 4, 2016 Noonish Well taking a couple of weeks to reset. Up at my sisters place today watching the kids so no gym stuff. So for some stupid reason I remembered Rindo's 20's (I think Goody came up with them but I can't remember for sure). Basically it's a circuit ladder until the reps are complete and try to beat your overall time. Start with 1 body weight squat followed by 20 push-ups. Rest as needed (if needed) and follow with 2 squats and 19 push-ups. Continue up with the squats until you get to 20 and drop the push-ups until you get to 1. By the end you'll have done 210 squats and 210 push-ups. The "pro's" are around the 10 minute mark. My fat ass did it in 50:13 today. Should be easy to beat haha! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Almost time to get up off of my ass and start hitting the gym again. One more day. Could feel my shoulder twinge spot a couple of times yet just moving around but hopefully I can work around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 April 12, 2016 Afternoon D1B1 feel good cycle squats. Took about a week off to try and reset.

Shoggoth Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 April 13, 2016 Before supper D2B1 feel good bench. Figured a 2 block bench would help my pissy shoulder. Nope. Tried an empty bar front raise and the pain was screaming.

Shoggoth Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 April 15, 2016 Before Supper D3B2 feel good deads. Just working on feeling good and getting a sweat. Tried to do some hip belt squats the way Ironmind shows with both daisy chains and the barbell. I think I'm too parsnip shaped and the belt kept sliding down right over my ass. Got a wicked pump with the leg extensions instead. Sumo Deads 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 3 315 x 2 365 x 1 405 x 3 x 6r Fiddle with belt squats Leg Extensions - Paused 100 x 4 x 15r Good enough for today.

Shoggoth Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 April 16, 2016 Before Supper D4B2 feel good pressing. Overhead pressing doesn't niggle my problem delt at all. May have to push focus there and maybe try the slingshot on the bench work. Anyways did what I wanted today. Just a bit to "feel good". 8" Log Press 155 x 3 x 3r 175 x 2 195 x 4 x 6r Incline Swiss Press 125 x 2 x 15r BB Row 185 x 2 x 15r 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 April 26, 2016 Before Supper Group A, day 1 bench. Going to give a power building 3 and 1 split a go for a bit and just work on some pump. Man am I ever weak after the past month of not doing bugger all. I'm thinking it's mainly my nerves that need to get sharpened up a bit. Huge dip though. Getting pretty weepy over Marty doesn't help much either. Collapsed at the vets yesterday and again today. Tried to bench with a medium grip. Nope. Freaking killed my shoulder at 185. MG Bench 45 x 3 x 10r 135 x 5 185 x 3 RG 225 x 3 245 x 6, 7, 6 225 x 8 Dip BW x 8, 7, 6 SB Skullcrusher 85 x 10, 10, 7, 7, 7 Plank x 3 x 30s - this'll make tomorrow suck enough Fhaak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 April 28, 2016 Before Supper Cycle A, day 3 legs. Man have I ever got a bad case of DOMS to coincide with my lazy April weakness. So far I'm really liking this split and being done each session in an hour or less. Hip Belt Squat w/Landmine - note: I drive weight back to the fulcrum and not straight up. 90 x 12 135 x 12, 12, 12, 16 GHR BW x 12, 12, 10, 10 Seated SB Press w/o support 35 x 8 85 x 5 105 x 4 x 8r Bulldozer Laterals 25e x 2 x 12r - enough. These really isolate the delt perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
