Shoggoth Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Lol, I was trying to say change up the reps or the weight so that you feel like your getting more out of the squats, and i was soon that i really don't do the assistance work. sorry for the confusion. You noticed that I did add a rep and another 3 sets plus dropping some of the assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 January 11, 2015 Before Supper Well dag-nabbit I tore a callous on the 540 pull or I was going to go for a double at 555 but I could feel my grip wasn't the best to bother and risk further damage.

Seems to be working. I'm focusing on the same modification myself. The stronger my squat gets the easier it becomes for me to maintain a more classic position with the heavier weights.

Shoggoth Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 In the past I almost did a SLDL; super fast to my knees then a pain to lockout. This feels really slow for me but I'm locking everything out easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) January 13, 2015 Before Supper Not enough food the last couple of days due to travel and crappy sleep.

Shoggoth Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 January 14, 2015 Before Supper Changed up the programming again to get more work with the main barbell exercise and to drop the paused squats this close to competition.

Shoggoth Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) January 18, 2015 Before Supper Resetting my deadlift and squatting for the Lifters Radio comp and seminar where I'll be using an Okie bar and wraps. First thought about going to the Okie today I think I may be better suited to pulling with a stiff bar. My hand also held up where I tore the callous off last week until my 545 set. I threw on straps for 565 but it just threw me out of position. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 1 405 x 1 455 x 1 525 x 1 545 x 1 565 x F - straps threw me out of position 435 x 3 x 5r SLDL - Dead Stops 135 x 30 WG Pulldowns 100 x 30 Band Marching Avr x 2 x 90s Edited January 18, 2015 by Shoggoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sorry about the hand, have you tried super gluing over the tear? It can help a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sorry about the hand, have you tried super gluing over the tear? It can help a bit The callous came right off last week. Filed and trimmed things up and thought I was good but it was a little thick above and started to pull away too. I'll soak it with carbolic salve for the next couple of days and will be ready to hit er again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Did you use a double overhand grip with the straps, and hence the poor position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Did you use a double overhand grip with the straps, and hence the poor position? Yep. Used to be better but I haven't used them in ages so with a higher percentage pull it was enough to throw me off I think. That and going back to the Okie bar.

Shoggoth Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 January 20, 2015 Before Supper Well I'm still feeling run down. Popped a bunch of ibuprofen, a pre-workout, and some coffee and got cleared right up. Hit what I wanted for my main bench work pretty clean other than when my foot slipped a bit and my back slid up the bench a bit. Went to do my 85% down sets and nope. It's not there. I must've used up all of my chemical goodness for this workout. Figured I'd just do a couple high rep set rows with 135, sat down and filled my mouth with puke. Must not be feeling 100% haha! Take er easy and kill the next one. Bench Press 45 x 3 x 15r 135 x 10 185 x 5 225 x 3 255 x 1 275 x 1 295 x 3 x 4r BB Row 135 x 35 NG Bench Press 135 x 38r - couple of rest-pauses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 January 23, 2015 Before Supper Getting used to using wraps again. Little different groove as they're trying to toss me forward. So far feel just as strong with my TK sleeves. It'll take a couple of workouts to get used to them and optimise them. First time with my hip squat belt. My legs feel like balloons haha! Squat 45 x 3 x 3r 135 x 2 x 3r 225 x 2 x 2r 315 x 2 365 x 1 405 x 3 Add wraps 405 x 2 455 x 2, 2, 3 Hip Belt Squat w/Landmine 45 x 2 x 10r 50 x 3 x 10r Enough. Still sick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
