Shoggoth Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 You kicked ass! Nice work man... and hey nothing wrong with training in the basement Thanks man! Feeling it today haha! I'm pretty sure staying in my basement is one of the big reasons I see progress vs going to one of the local, commercial gyms around here.

Shoggoth Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 March 3, 2015 Before Supper First workout back since the mock meet on Saturday. Just going to hit some recovery level stuff today for my bench and Thursday or Friday I'll hit some squat/deads recovery work. Full steam again next week. Got a niggle in where my left collarbone ties into the shoulder. Think it got stretched out a bit on my failed pull.

Magnus Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nice work on the bench. That's way up since the last time I checked this log. How do you like pulling on the Okie compared to the Rogue bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Nice work on the bench. That's way up since the last time I checked this log. How do you like pulling on the Okie compared to the Rogue bar? Thanks buddy! Stopped armwrestling back in November or so and have been able to do something with my bench for the first time in over 2 years. Always niggled and sore from pulling. Lucky if I could bench 295 for the past couple of years. As far as a deadlift bar I think I prefer the Rogue bar. Only problem is it's not used in comp. so depending on what I'm doing I'll either train with the TPB or the Okie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Strong lifts ! Thanks man! Little by little. Now let's see what I retain during this cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 March 9, 2014 Before Supper Start of a couple things this week. One is I'm cutting weight again. Yesterday morning I was 270#. I'm doing an EC stack probably ramp up for 3 weeks, one off, and so on. I'm also restricting calories after 8pm and only having one scoop of whey with water until lunch. The second one is Jesse Jobe asked if I'd like to try his programming for 8 weeks. I know it's a shitty time to test while I'm cutting but I'll still get a good idea. I just want to stave off the eating for strength for a bit. Little light headed. Getting adjusted to training without a food bloat haha! Front Squat 45 x 4 x 3r 135 x 2 185 x 2 225 x 2 275 x 2 x 2r Back Squat - training stuff so back to high bar 225 x 3 300 x 6 x 5r Paused Seated Band Leg Curl - good for hammy cramps LGT x 3 x 15r Superset 45' Back Raise BW x 3 x 10r AB Wheel BW x 3 x 8r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Isn't your EC stack lonely without aspirin and nicotine???? That's what I prefer (nicotine gum of course) I actually canned it today after lunch. I really don't like seeing my BP get up there like that haha! March 12, 2015 Before Supper Week 1 with Jesse's program yet. Took a deads video to check my form. I'm using my Westside bar. Little stiffer than my TPB and a bit less aggressive knurling.

Shoggoth Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 March 16, 2015 Before Supper Second week of Jesse's programming and second day of grip training.

Jörg Keilbach Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Are kneeling hip thrusts what Westside called kneeling squats? I liked these a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Are kneeling hip thrusts what Westside called kneeling squats? I liked these a lot! The band is on the hips instead but the movement is similar. I was looking for something a little different for some ham-glute volume and saw David Hansen was doing these. https://youtu.be/g11cZQQ-JuY?t=1m54s Edited March 19, 2015 by Shoggoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
