Luke Whippo Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Karl, I'm in no hurry, I'm no powerlifter or anything with a label, I only competed in regional Strongman contests it seems another lifetime ago. I have what I'm hoping a 2-3 year plan to reach the 500# mark, if not, I'm sure around age 50, which would be 7 years. I did notice my foot position though. My slight sciatica (or nerve pinch) seems to be all gone now. For the next month things are gonna be a bit unstable for me, doing what I can when I can. Standing overhead press from rack- up to 150 x 2 for 4 sets, 155 x 1 Full Dead Lifts- 220 x 5 270 x 5 320 x 3, 340 x 1 385 x 3, 405 x 2 Next week will be a light week, but lets see if after I do my reps with lighter weight jump up to 405 x 1 just to satisfy this journal title.

Luke Whippo Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Presses behind the neck, first time doing these for reps 159 x 3 with a push. Still working on floor pressing, averaging 200. Full Dead Lift, light day- 220 x 5 270 x few 300 x 2 320 x 2 340 x 12 OH YEAH, that feels great, I no longer squat my deads! OK I gotta talk about this album here, Lumpy Gravy. This is Zappa's 3rd release in 1967 and it was his first solo album. This is the most interesting album by him, this is the one that showed he was a serious classical composer. There are several versions of this, the original 1967 was by Capital Records in which Zappa went behind Verve/MGM's back to record this. Zappa thought if he didn't use any of the Mothers in the album he'd be ok, but they lost in court and in 1968 Zappa edited it and added a bunch dialogue with the mothers by having conversations with their heads inside a piano. The 1967 version was straight classical orchestra, the 1968 was those compositions with a dialogue and weird sounds in-between each composition. To write and compose this album when he had shows, other albums being recorded and on the verge of losing his home at the time, this is just incredible and the orchestra he hired thought his compositions were not possible to play. Anyway, here is King Kong from this album, my only complaint is, it's too damn short....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
