EricMilfeld Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yeah that makes sense. Im pretty much slow the whole ROM. Unless my form is immaculate off the floor, then I can accelerate above the knees with submaximal weights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 August 27, 2019 Before Supper Week 2. Was getting a wicked low back pump when a sat after the GM’s.

Shoggoth Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 August 30, 2019 Afternoon Log-Bar Futzing. Feeling a little wobbly pressing. Can be attributed to not doing this lift in over a year and staring at the sky I think. Cleans feel super easy. One of these days I may see if I can clean 300. No way in hell I can press it but a clean would be nice. Can’t get coordinated enough to push press this either. Not sure what’s off. 12” Log LC 90 x 4 x 5r 140/170/190/210/230 x 1 12” Log Rack Press 90 x 5 140/190 x 5r 205 x 5 x 3r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 September 6, 2019 Before Supper Worst part of the log is by far the cardio aspect of cleaning every rep. Should improve. Starting low with the front squats as I haven’t pushed them in ages. Hit the saw tooth on the 8th rep, got gaggy so I stopped there. 12” Log C+P LC wu to 170 x 5, 5, 10 Front Squat wu to 245 x 5, 5, 8 Good enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 September 12, 2019 Before Supper Switched to the axle due to having deads as well today. Widened my deadlift stance out to the beginning of the knurling. Feels stronger with these lighter weights at least. We’ll see as I work up.

Shoggoth Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 September 17, 2019 Evening Really need to get working at waking my ass up. Just not firing properly. Definitely don’t want to have to start a 15 minute pre-workout routine. Going to also start 1kg/2.5# jumps for the front squat. I think the 2kg/5# is better suited for lifts that are >450#. 12” Log C+P Short Cycle wu to 172.5 x 5/5/10 Front Squat wu to 255 x 5/5/8 Paused Standing Band Crunch Avr x 2 x 12r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 September 19, 2019 Before Supper Left shoulder is getting some niggles. I’ll need to watch it. Giving Jack’s set-up a go on the pulls. The 505’s were a little grindier than I’d like. Lots of talc and chalk required. Sweaty. Bench Press wu to 120.5 x 5/5/7 - grabbing a breath is what’s throwing me off. I hate bench reps.

Shoggoth Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 September 23, 2019 Starting Nathan Holle’s gripper program. 3x a week of high intensity attempts and closes plus some curls. Not going to bother posting every session but this is where I started. Happy that my right is still within a breadth of closing a solid #3, sad with how far my left is lagging. Also doing contrast baths for the mitts when I’m done as well. Attempts Right IM3 149# x 4 x 1r Left IM2.5 138 x 2 x 1r, GHP6 130 x 2 x 1r Closes Right IM2.5 138 x 3 x 1r Left BBSM 122 x 3 x 1r DB Hammer Curl 50e x 10, 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 September 25, 2019 One of my wife’s relatives passed away yesterday so I’m shuffling my lifting around a bit. Dropped 0.5k on today’s jump as my 25k plates workout to this without micro’s. Before Supper Bench Press wu to 121k x 5/5/7 - cheaty 7th. Shoulder is still bugging me. Might have to try a chiro. Dip 282.2 x 2 x 8r Front Squat wu to 117.5k x 5/5/7 - got a stitch in my right side so I stopped. Was going to go for 10 easily.

Shoggoth Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 September 27, 2019 Before Supper Miserable cold, wet, snow, wind, etc. outside so I’m back to seated pressing today. Started doing thoracic stuff a couple times a days starting yesterday. Seated BTN BB Press wu to 70k x 5/5/6 Shoulders are sore from all of this stretching. I’ll say that (and being weak) account for my low AMRAP. Used the BTN’s to help “force” thoracic positions. Really working on just packing my abdomen and not having any arch. EZ Reverse Curl 85 x 2 x 12r DO Axle Deadlift wu to EMOM 363 x 19 x 1r Last two reps were bad and the 20th was a fail. I’ll drop 20# next time. EMOM builds up fatigue a lot differently than if I just did 4 sets of 5. MMS grippers between press sets. 4 attempts and 4 close sets with each hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
