Shoggoth Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Impressive pressing! One of my current goals is a 200 pound strict press, which would be huge for me. I doubt I could have done 200 even when I was benching 350. Thanks Eric! I'd like to get a bodyweight press this summer. Pretty sure it won't be strict but just getting 270 over my head will be a huge accomplishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I'm liking your garage/outdoor setup man! Also nice lifting! Thanks Matt! Built a platform and put my extra rack outside last year. The ceiling in my basement is to low to do standing overhead work so it's seated presses all winter, standing all summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 May 25, 2015 Before Supper Week 4. I took a stim drink prior to today's workout and it effed me up. Been going a couple of months now without really taking anything zazzy. The buzz today had me bouncing off of the walls and I had a tough time staying focused. Weight and movements felt great but my brain was off course. Squat 45 x 3 x 3r 135 x 3 225 x 2 315 x 1 365 x 1 405 x 1 435 x 6 x 2r - paused the last set. Easy peasy. Speed Squat 280 x 6 x 2r - man these hit me. Not a bead of sweat today until I started these.

Shoggoth Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I need whatever zazzy pre workout crack you've been taking! Stims don't cut it anymore for this guy I used to take them every time but then stopped awhile back. Now they pep the hell outta me. This was some 1MR. I could do doubles and triples with the original Jack3d and such and not get a huge pop. Maybe your receptors need a break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 May 27, 2015 Before Supper Week 4. Alright but I wish I got a double.

Shoggoth Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Nice consistent singles. How long do you like to rest between sets? It ended up being a bit on these. Probably a good 3-5 minutes. I need to start hitting the upright rows again. I think they help my bench a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 June 3, 2015 Before Supper Week 5. Going to start changing up my bench assistance to more like what I was doing during the RBBB stuff.

Shoggoth Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 June 5, 2015 Before Supper Week 5. Couldn't keep my pace from the last 5th week hitting 8 work sets in 15 minutes but I'm content with hitting 6. That's still a dozen reps at 90% of my working max in 15 minutes. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 1 365 x 1 405 x 1 455 x 1 505 x 6 x 2r in less than 15 minutes Speed Pulls 335 x 10 x 1r NG Chins BW x 5 x 2r Band GM's Hvy Blk JS x 2 x 15r - Quite a bit tougher than the heavy blue bands I picked up a month or so back.

EricMilfeld Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 That's a lot of heavy pulling in fifteen minutes! Nice work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 That's a lot of heavy pulling in fifteen minutes! Nice work. Thanks buddy! For some reason I can recover and get after heavy pulls more quickly than the other lifts even though I'm not really "built" to pull.

Shoggoth Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 June 7, 2015 Afternoon Week 5. Very pleased with how my strict pressing is going so far this year it'll be good to test it in a month or so. With the 10 reps on my last set I'm possibly in that 240-250 strict range right now. Who knows where my push press would be but I'd assume at least another 20#. Strict Press 45 x 3 x 10r 95 x 5 135 x 3 160 x 1 185 x 8, 8, 10 105 x 20, 15, 10 Plate Raise 3-Ways 10e x 2 x 12r Barbell Curl Bar x to niggled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
