Shoggoth Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 January 4, 2013 Before Supper Still sick so I knew I'd be no good for any 90% type stuff so I just hut a few good and fast reps to keep my groove. Might've hit another epiphany with my pulls as I was gettling loaded up enough I was almost tumbling backwards with the 335 and they came up nice and FAST! Looking forward to a weeks rest then blasting some PR's next Saturday, that is if work smartens up as well. I think the stress is half the reason I'm sick right now. Grip, curls, etc. done between the main lift sets. Squat 45 x 5, 4 135 x 5 x 2r Bench Press 45 x 5 135 x 5 x 2r Deadlift 135 x 4, 2 225 x 1 335 x 5 x 1r 3-Finger Blob50 on the Ramp - Pauses at the top x 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 Strict Hammer Curls - One DB 65 x 2 x 2r 55 x 3 x 5r - Held for long negatives on the last reps of each set and pretty slow on the main reps. 1 Arm Cable Forearm Curls - High Cable WS - Slow and strict 30 x 4 x 15r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 January 10, 2013 Before Supper Work is stupid busy right now so much so I don't think I'll be able to participate in the virtual PL comp. on Saturday. Probably be working and even if I'm not I haven't been eating right, stressed out, etc. so my numbers would be crap. Yesterday I started a gripper experiment as well so we'll see how that pays off as time goes by, basically getting a bunch of daily work in. Blob50 Ramp Pulls x 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3+2+1 Curls done between blob pulls DB Hammer Curls - Strict 55 x 3 x 5r Seated EZ Curls - Pretty tough starting in the middle of ROM like this. First time trying it 115 x 3 x 3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Most of the timed you train pretty hard as I see it, so it doesn't hurt backing of a little. You are strong in squats and DL, would like to have your number for sure. Next VL comp you'll be fine. Sometimes work and private life demand that attention. Last year I got stressed out than. Now I decided to go with the flow. Gives a bit more rest I can say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like work interfering with my personal life I know I've still got it better than most though as I work from home and make a decent living plus I have a pretty well stocked home gym. It's just that I know at these times of huge work stress a little lifting would sure be nice to help wash it all away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started training hard and came up with goals in response to stress from law school. It has kept from going crazy and I only have one semester left now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 January 12, 2013 Afternoon Well I guess work stress, getting sick, losing 10+ pounds in about a week and not having a heavy workout for 2+ weeks caught up with me. I know I'm not weaker, just today wasn't the day to express my strength. 1) Bench Press 45 x 10, 7 135 x 5 185 x 1 225 x 1 275 x 1 295 x 1 320 x 1 340 x F - 320 felt tough so I wasn't surprised. I amped myself up lots but it just wasn't there today. 2) Deadlift 135 x 3, 2 225 x 2 315 x 1 405 x 1 455 x 1 505 x 1 535 x F - Something mental or whatever. Typically not a tough weight. 570 x F - Right at the knees. I think in a month I can hit this if I get back at er good. 3a) CG Bench Press 225 x 2 x 8r 3b) Deadlift 455 x 3 Pooped. I think the sickness is still lingering a bit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 January 14, 2013 Before Supper Work is still stupid busy. Just needed a quick squat workout, then eat, then right back to work tonight. This is the first heavier squats I've done in about 3 weeks. Surprisingly my IT bands and elbows were limber right off the bat and I didn't need any stretching. Cool. Just used the first week of phase 3 of PC's workout. Hands and forearms are to fried to bother with any of that. Hopefully get back to some table time this week as well. Squats - No-No-No 45 x 4, 3 135 x 3 235 x 5 275 x 4 315 x 3 350 x 2 365 x 1 385 x 1 410 x 1 Paused Squats - NNN 305 x 1 x 5r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lots of workouts getting logged here on the GB these days. Cool! Pulled again Wednesday for the first time in about a month. Definitely getting better and feeling stronger. Another national champ from Quebec is going to start pulling with us as he's working out here now and another couple of heavier top level guys will be coming over to start their prep for Sask. and Nationals. Should be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 January 18, 2013 Before Supper Well I used a couple of PC's workouts just to finish out the week before I get my new workload off of Phil. I planned on doing some medium arm work after this but I was cooked enough after the kettlebells. Sucking wind and my heart was pounding big time! Looks like some GPP needs back into the mix. Oh well, I can always use a bit more recovery. Going to do some more arm wrestling on Sunday with a few guys so I need to heal up. 1) Deadlift 225 x 5 285 x 4 345 x 3 405 x 2 455 x 1 485 x 1 505 x 1 455 x 3 2) Bench Press - Narrow Grip 45 x 5 135 x 5 185 x 5 205 x 4 230 x 3 255 x 2 275 x 1 285 x 1 305 x 1 255 x 6 3) KB Clean + Front Squat - Long Cycle 2x32k x 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Jason - do you do powerlifting meets? I was planning on starting this year competing in the IPF but I've got too many frigging hobbies between the PL stuff, grip and armwrestling.

Shoggoth Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Tonight's grip work. 1,500# of dumbbell's loaded into the truck. Drive home. Farmers walk dumbbell's from the street, around the hous and into the basement. Stupid me I started with the light ones and finished with the hundred pounders lol!

Shoggoth Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yep more stuff for the gym. I got frustrated with the adjustables on Wednesday and vowed to get fixed dumbbell's. Looked for a day and found these babies. Funny thing is as I was packing them into the basement my wife's telling me how she'd like a fireplace down there and some new furniture, etc. I had to remind her I need my Quonset first for my gym stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Danke. $1,400 but then I picked up a few extra handles and a couple more 7.5# plates for a few more bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 January 28, 2013 Before Supper Well my arms are a bit beat up from arm wrestling yesterday and lugging dumbbell's around the day before hit the grip good and cooked my low back. What this means is squats hurt my arms up until the last couple of sets again, went double overhand on deads up to 405 then switched to the straps. Man pulls stretching out my arms sure feels good though. I also left out the big back pumper of a high rep set of SLDL and no chins due to the elbow pain. 1) Squat NNN 45 x 5, 4 135 x 3 225 x 2 315 x 1 365 x 1 410 x 2 2) Deadlift - No belt 135 x 5 225 x 3 315 x 1 405 x 1 450 x 5 x 3r 495 x 1 550 x 1 3) Narrow Stance High Box Squat - To Bench 225 x 3 x 17r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
