Shoggoth Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) October 26, 2018 Before Supper Week 3. That grip rush sure hit my mid-traps. I’m going to work on my pull-ups again. Just going to slowly build up good rep volume over the weeks. While the volume is super low I’ll probably hit it daily or even twice daily to continue building it up. 80’ Seated Axle Press wu to 90k x 6 x 2r, 2 x 3r 75k x 6/7/7 Pull-ups 274.4 x 6 x 1r Between Sets New RT find max Right - 142.6 Left - 127.6 RT Deads Right 120.1 x 3 x 2r, 9 Left 107.6 x 3 x 2r, 13 RT Against Lt Band Right 107.6 x 6s, 6s, 6s Left 107.6 x 6s, 4s, 3s RT Rush 60s Each Set x 107.6 x 22, 20 - forgot to look at the clock when I started the second set so I just “rushed” to 20.

Shoggoth Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 October 29, 2018 Before Supper Week 8. Going to take a page from Dan John with the pull-ups/ab wheel. I also kept my hands on the top of the plates today during the squats. Way more braced and easier. Still just legs working. Not pulling back. Not sure if I’ve injured my left hand somewhere along the way but holy crap is it ever weak compared to my right. I can’t believe how low my axle numbers are now. Pushing the RT hard on Friday probably didn’t help much. Thinking something like this: Monday - Squat, axle, pull-ups Tuesday - Bench, pinch, row Wednesday - Grippers Thursday - Deads, RT/Crusher, pull-ups Friday - Press, 1HP, row Saturday - Grippers, pull-ups Hip Belt Squat w/Landmine wu to 100k x 5 x 2r, 10r DO Axle Deads wu to 283/293/303/283/293/298/283/288/293/298 x 1r DO Axle Holds 289 x 6 x 6s Superset 3 Ab Roll-outs with 1 Pull-up 273# x 6 Rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 October 30, 2018 Before Supper Week 7. Had a weird “click” in my wrist doing the Clubbell warm-ups with my left doing casts. Almost completely dropped the club. No pain but still tingly warming up for bench. Also decided to move my 2HP to my Press day and I’ll do my 1HP and assistance on bench days. Drained day. Too much staring at spreadsheets. Bench ended up being a RPE 10 but I got it and still did a bit of a pause on the final rep. Clubbell Circuit 15# x 12r each way Bench Press wu to 125k x 3 x 5r CG 2Brd Bench 105k x 3 x 8r Meadows Row 25k/35k/45k x 10r KB Euro Supinations x 5 x 3r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 November 2, 2018 Before Supper Week 4. I noticed I’ve missed another 10# worth of collars on yesterday’s deadlifting. Should’ve written 430 x 6 x 5r. Anywho, today felt very easy press wise. Seated 80’ Axle Press wu to 90k x 5 x 2r, 3 x 3r 75k x 3 x 7r DB Row 100e x 3 x 10r Flask 2HP - nope. Mitts are too cooked.

Shoggoth Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 November 6, 2018 Before Supper Week 8. No Clubbell due to the clicky wrist. Got some bad foot cramping during bench. On another note Reape would be colouring half of my plate pink today. Left wrist. Twinges painfully loading and unloading plate. Stupid body.

Shoggoth Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 November 12, 2018 Afternoon Week 9. Fuark I’ve got some good DOMS today. Anyways, bench. Today is the end of my 3rd cycle of RBBP and the results are consistent so no plans to change the formula. 27 weeks and using a rep max calc I’ve improved about 18#. I’ll take that for approximately 6 months of work. Haven’t tested a single in ages and shouldn’t plan on it until the spring at least.

Shoggoth Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 November 17, 2018 Afternoon Week 1 napalms nightmare cycle. Using the rep calculator off of my amrap set puts me right in the 90-95% range of my current DO axle. This’ll be easier on my back to keep pushing it this winter I think. PVC handle so no chalk. A bit of futzing to find the correct working weights on the holds and rush.
