Saturday 11/2/19

Squat-

Everything was below parallel!

135 x few

195 x few

215 x 20 WHOO! legs are pumped, heart is rock'in.

.....still breathing real heavy 245 x 1

269 x 10 Dry heaves!!! I Love it!

299 x 2 

Well I pinched my thumb between 2-45's, sucker is nice an bruised.

Dead lift 351 x 1, 1/2, 1 DO, very hard, not sure if thumb was the problem? I can't worry about that because I needed to do hookgrip deads today.

Hookgrip - 380 x 1 (harder than I excepted), 405 x 1 that was better.

curls/c&p

105 x 8 strict curls

120 x 1 strict curl, x1 cheat curl

c&p, 135 x 4, 145 x1, 165 x1 push press, 165 x 1 strict, flew up.

I was surprised how strong the 2nd set of 165 press went.

Those squats were nice, best squatting I done in months.

Will I get in a 25 rep warm-up this weekend? Stay tuned to find out!

Feeling dang good, these higher rep squats below parallel are doing good things, I'm just hungry all the time. I'm getting very sick and tired of turning on the "idiot box" and hearing this anti-meat, vegan stuff from normal everyday folk. I'm not a normal everyday folk, very, very far from that (high rep squats and vegan, not a good match). If not eating meat and eggs is trendy, then they've won already, STFU about it.......

Squat:

Everything is below parallel.

Someone had 195 loaded x 2

155 x 6

205 x 4

225 x 21 Oh Yeah! legs nice and pumped-up and breathing real heavy. This was just a warm-up!

255 x 1 

275 x 11

306 x 1

3-weeks in a row and my back has never felt better, it only took me over 20 years to get this right.

Dead lift:

356 x 4- singles DO, chalked up on every rep.

Hookgrip - 375 x 1, 410 x 1 (not too hard).

Curls/c&p:

115 x 1-strict curl / 135 x 3-presses

145 x 1-c&p

165 x 1-c&p

115 x 6-strict curls, 125 x 1-strict curl

170 x 1 c&p (powerclean was crappy).

Another week of good squatt'in, maybe next week 24-25?

I can't get over how good I feel from doing these high rep squats for warm-ups!

BTW, had I'd done 22 reps (which was 1,000% doable) that would be a PR.

I forgot to mention the 4-singles DOH 356 was a PR.

Squat-

Everything is below parallel.

135 x 6

185 x 4

205 x 4

230 x 18, very easy, but I didn't want to go for 24-25.

255 x 1

280 x 10 

315 x 2

I'm not even documenting DOH, my grip is shot at 356, will need to work more reps.

Hookgrip Dead lift - 385 x 1, 415 x 1 (felt as easy as 405 weeks ago).

C&P

135 x 2 singles, 145 x 1, 159 x 1, 169 x 1, maybe slight push, but the press was tough, very tired.

Strict curls, 115 x 7 (last rep I really leaned back).

One day I'm gonna get a 25 repper in.

Another good squat day.

Oh, BUT I had a LATE night on Friday, went to a Christmas party and it was an important person's birthday. When I went for what I thought was my last beer, the dude gave me a full pitcher of beer, and no I didn't drink it all myself.

Squat-

Warmups, same as last week. Everything below parallel, no more parallel crap, that's OVER!

240 x 23 PR for reps.

265 x 1

290 x 10 

315 x  2

Dead lifts, not worth posting the DOH, I blame the slight hangover.

Hookgrip - 375 x 1, 405 x 1, 430 x 1 (If 425 was starting to feel hard, this was, BUT once I got past mid-shins, it was a BREEZE). 

C&P, 135, 145, 159, 169, running out of time, this workout was dragging.

Curls, 120 x 7 

Went home, eat some eggs and CRASHED!

Here is a REAL love song, one of my favs.....

Friday 12/13/19

It's the 6th day, I'm not supposed to train today, BUT I'll be resting for the next 8.

Squat - NOT FEELING IT.

245 x 11 called it quits, No point in squatting myself to nothing, I barely got winded or broke a sweat, so my CV is GOOD. 

270 x 1, 275 x 1, 275 x 1 STILL NOT FEELING IT.

Dead lift-

315 DOH - 13 reps (chalked at rep 5 and 8 ) Last 5 felt STRONG, I STARTED FEELING IT! Unfortunately I ran out of time.

C&P up to 175

Several hours later I had a chance to do curls-

 100 x 10, 30 second break, x 5 PR? strictness.

I'll have to maybe go back down on squats to 220 or so, for 25+ reps before my heavy sets???? We will see, but I feel like I've lost at least 15#, time to rest and EAT,EAT,EAT.

Like I said I didn't rest full 7 days, that is IMPORTANT when doing these high rep squats, everyday matters.

Squat - 220 x 20 easy, but wasn't really feeling it.

I did go over 300 but not worth recording, nothing of significance.

Things get better......

DOH Dead- 325 x 5, 350 x 1, 364 x 1 (very,very close to breaking PR)

Hookgrip - 394 x 1, 434 x 1 (425+ is getting easier).

Worked on Squat clean (been at least a decade) up to 164 and press, 159 felt near perfect, 164 didn't land on the shoulders very pretty.

Cheat curl, 125 x 6, 140 x 3

More cool music, Zappa is saying F-U to the music industry by totally screwing up the miming on purpose, then conducts some bad ass Edgar Varese inspired noodling with a 60's rock twist, very ballzy chit.

Squats-

Are gonna be a hit/miss type thing now as far as high reps, I was warming-up and damn my low back got tight, had to totally adjust form. Worked-up to a single with 310, deep without wrecking my back.

DOH Dead 365 x 1 EASY!, if I had more time I'd of added weight, next time!!! PR stuff!

Hookgrip, 405 x 1 (felt harder than I thought), 436 x 1 I'll take it!

squat clean up to 165, timing is bad, caught that ##cker too low on the shoulders.

Cheat curls- 115 x 6, 125 x 6, 135 x 3

So many weeks ago I trained on a Friday morning and well, I wasn't feel'in it, same results today however the weights I was us'in was heavier. So I look at that as good thing, wasn't feeling it with heavier weights is better than, wasn't feel'in it with lighter weights than the last time I wasn't feel'in it..........

I'm leaning more towards because I don't drink on Thursdays, I'm a believer in drinking and strength training, now this don't mean "get drunk", judgement......... 

Squat-

155 x few, 155 x few (2-sets of 155 ain't a good start folks), 

185 x few

205 x few

245 x 1 EWWW

255 x 10 (feel a tad better now, just a tad).

280 x 1

285 x 1

295 x 1 (last time on a Friday I couldn't get past 270-275)

Deads-

Warmed-up with DOH 315 x few, 330 x few, 345 x 1 

Mixed grip - 375 x 4 alternated grip each rep, felt ok, better than 370 x 4

Powerclean up to 169 x 1

curls 105 x 10 

Going to get a much needed 8 days rest.
