Shoggoth Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 What's NG? Neutral grip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 July 11, 2015 Before Supper Week 2. Really bagged today. Up until 12:30-1:00 AM this morning getting tattooed since supper time yesterday. Outside of the leg sucks just by having to get twisted and rotated out for the artist to work. Didn't feel like pressing outside today. Seated Press 45 x 3 x 10r 95 x 5 135 x 3 150 x 10, 8, 6 Spoto Press - 3 second rests 135 x 2 x 3r 235 x 6 x 4r Superset Barbell Row 225 x 3 x 10r Band Pressdowns LGT x 30, 20, 20 Changed up my grip to have my pinkies on the rings. Looks like I'm a bit more vertical so it should translate to more strength hopefully. Old grip with middle finger on the rings on top and the pinkies on the rings in the lower picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 July 16, 2015 Before Supper Week 3. Losing some of my zazz on deads over the past few weeks. Just can't get into them. Might start alternating deads and a heavy back, deadlift assistance day every other workout. Got foot cramps really bad after 455 so I went barefoot after that. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 x 2r 315 x 1 405 x 7 - thought it was 8 until I watched the video 455 x 1 485 x 5 x 2r, 5 Speed Pulls 315 x 12 x 1r Pull-ups BW x 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 Fat Handled T-Bar Row 135 x 5 185 x 8 210 x 3 x 8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think doing deadlift variations/back work instead of deadlift really saved my back last year when I had more comps to train for, good idea! Also I've had lifts where I think I got more than what was on the video... I get sad when that happens haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 My memory is definitely starting to go too. I'm thinking I need to start videotaping everything so I can confirm what I think I did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I was going to try for 20 like Eric but unlike Eric I'm a fat bastard with zero conditioning haha!That'll be enough of that talk, mister. I have a bit of a power belly myself goin' on these days. But just a touch of rowing machine seems to be compensating for my weight gain, in terms of cardio fitness. And let me tell us, stuffing your face is way more fun than trying to cut to 163. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Pretty damn good pressing thereI'll second that. Getting close to PRville? Thanks bud! Yea I think she's been PR's for a few weeks now. Last year I think I finished the summer with a push-press of 4 reps with 205 so I think I'm well on track to be passing that with strict presses shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
