Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks guys! Front squats are the shizzle January 31, 2012Noon1) Seated BTN Press45 x 10105 x 5155 x 3, 3185 x 1190 x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1135 x 11Before Supper1a) Bench Press - Narrow Grip155 x 5250 x 6, 6, 6, 6, 61b) Deadlift - CV265 x 5405 x 2475 x 22) BB Row - 45' Back - 1 second hold at top225 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 53) Reverse Bend for David Horne's TORQUE!!166.3K @ 6", 6" gr5 - 2h 73'4) Plate Curls25# x 8, 8, 85) Wrist Rocker1.2# x 100 EW/BH1.2# x 50 Ext/BHWell I didn't have any high hopes for my shoulder pressing today. Either I slept wrong or had the bar off a tad doing front squats yesterday. I woke up at about 4:30am with my right rotator cuff just killing me. Pounded some ibu and it seemed to help but was still pretty stiff throughout the morning. Did a bunch of band work and it seems that it helped me a lot today.Bench is still progressing well both on the medium days and the heavy so that's making me happy. Deadlift is another story. I think I just do to much work on these pressing days to have the real energy required to pull. I think on Saturdays I'll deadlift or do a variation and Wednesdays get some assistance work in.I also recieved my package of steel and wraps from David Horne for his TORQUE!! bending list. Steel is calibrated and sold by David, thin suede (also from David) that's harder than IM pads, wraps touching, reverse in 30 seconds. I've got some 10mm bars in the batch and Christ they're big lol! I started with just one of the gr5's and I'll go for an 8mm next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 1, 2012 It's a flail/spinning that blows your forearms up. There's pictures and such if you google on my blog. (null) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 3, 2012 February 2, 2012, 80%Before Supper1a) Back Squat +10%R 45 x 5R 135 x 5R 225 x 5B 335 x 3, 3W+B 405 x 1425 x 1445 x 1450 x 1, 1R 275 x 5 Enough1b) Saxon Pinch - Sumo -10%155 x 5170 x 3, 3205 x 1, 1215 x 1, hop205 x 6"155 x 8 TnGGetting more used to the wraps as this is my 3rd workout with them and my 1st doing back squats. I'm pretty happy hitting 450 and it was actually pretty easy. I'm thinking I might be good for around 470-475 right now. Pretty stoked that I should have a 500 pound squat in me this year pretty easily.The Saxon pinching was another story. My arms are a bit tender from yesterday, especially my triceps and I was having a good sweat wearing my hoody so it was tough getting a good bight on 'er. Next time. Overall an 80% day.Here's my 445 squat. Either a tad high or right at parallel. Tough to call at that angle and with the clothing but it gives a good sense of how easy these are coming. I'm getting to find my form on these buggers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blobbing felt very strong. When I got to doing the rebound work I was getting some pretty long and strong holds at the top of the movement. I also had a bit of an epiphany with it; I'm usually trying to dig my fingers and thumbs in, today I tried to mash my digits as flat as I could on there and get more contact. This seems to help a lot. I'm very confident that the blob's coming up soon.Bench press is continuing to climb as planned so I'll toss on some more weight next week. Crusher work is also coming seeings as it's only my second workout with it I'd hope so. Really working to try and keep some wrist flexion with these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 4, 2012 Nice work, specially the bench stuff. I'also upping my benchstrength, although slow. I target the triceps also a lot more and that helps. Takes stress from my shoulders, who always start to aggrevate just when I'm doing well with benchpress. Frustrating to say the least. Max. around 275 lbs right now I think.

Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks Geralt! With bench I take a pretty narrow grip to not play havoc on my shoulders. Usually I'll either be touching the smooth or maybe an inch out from there. One thing I've been learning is pressing quite a bit more frequently really helps so I try to do a bunch of shoulder and bench pressing throughout the week and will be adding some incline once my Swiss bar gets here as well.

Maybe from the crusher.2a) EZ Skullcrushers behind the head115 x 8, 8, 72b) DB Curls30e x 20, 15, 10I had limited time to get some work in today so I took very little time in between the first superset but my grip was feeling tired.The second superset I did like a non-stop circuit as time was running out. Skullcrushers behind the head felt way stronger today. I think I lost a lot of curl reps as my arms were pretty stinking pumped as I was trying to run through this. I'll stick with 115 on the SC until I'm getting in the 15-20 rep range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking though that since I didn't get my front squats in tonight tomorrow should probably be a good day for some deadlifting. I'll superset my heavy BTN presses at lunch with them and SS my medium bench work with the Saxon tomorrow. Maybe bring my blob into the office during the morning for some training during work.

It gives me an extra day of recovery plus I'm fresh for my pulls. Deads felt heavy but I'll stick with the program and the shoulder press is still going well. I think I easily could've worked up to 10 work reps/sets but I ran out of time. I'll need to get everything set up the day before if I keep wanting to get this at lunch as I only had 30 minutes or so to get this in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
