MattM Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Nice press work! I love lifting outside, adds a nice X factor to it. Also your squats are looking good, I wish I was bulking along with you and Eric, I miss the bakery section Edited June 11, 2015 by MattM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm just maintaining my plump and hopefully not going up anytime soon haha! I've been within a pound or two of 270# since January. If anything is like to drop a bit but I hate sacrificing gains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 June 15, 2015 Before Supper Week 7. Felt good. Decided to do paused reps on my last workset and they felt good. I've got a lot of potential traveling coming up over the next couple of weeks. We'll see how I feel tomorrow being stuffed in a vehicle for 10-12 hours. Typical after squat day.... Front Squats 45 x 4 x 3r - did the first two sets as back squats to warm up my elbows 135 x 2 225 x 2 275 x 3 x 2r Squat 225 x 2 x 2r 315 x 1 365 x 1 385 x 6 x 4r - last set paused Seated Band Leg Curl Avr x 3 x 20r X-Band March 2xAvr x 2 x 60s Calf Raises BW x 35, 25, 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 June 17, 2015 Before Supper Week 7. Trying a different foot position. Any insights feel free to chime in. Did an extra couple of sets more TnG-ish of triples. Back is really pumped and achey after squatting on Monday then being cramped in a vehicle for 11 hours of driving sandwiching a two hour meeting. Fun. Bench Press 45 x 3 x 10r 135 x 5 185 x 3 225 x 2 275 x 1 305 x 5 x 2r, 2 x 3r CG Bench 245 x 7, 5 - man. What happened? Ring Row BW x 5 x 20r JM's w/2 chains each hand hooked on 10th link 3 x 25r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 June 19, 2015 Before Supper Week 7. Felt okay but could've been better. Pretty sure I've got triples in me with better sleep, food, etc. Proud of slow grinding up that second rep of the third set. Typically not that good at it. Had to switch my grip as my right wrist was way to sore to supinate for some reason. Tight butthole Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 3, 2 315 x 1 405 x 1 455 x 1 495 x 1 - start recording 520 x 1 540 x 3 x 2r, 1 Dats enough. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 June 22, 2015 Before Supper Week 8. Felt good. Short and sweet. With squats I'm definitely more of a grinder than an explosive dude for sure. Squat 45 x 4 x 3r 135 x 3 225 x 2 315 x 1 365 x 1 405 x 1 455 x 1 485 x 3 x 2r - enough 315 x 10 - just to get some blood in there Standing Calf Raises BW x 35, 20, 20, 20 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 June 24, 2015 Before Supper Week 8. I was hoping for a TnG double with my last 325 set but it wasn't in the cards today. Bench Press 45 x 4 x 10r 135 x 5 185 x 3 225 x 1 275 x 1 305 x 1 325 x 5 x 1r Add Red Slanger 325 x 1 365 x 1 385 x 1 Without Slanger 335 x pfft Phil's Push-up Contest x 68r - thrashed my wrists 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 June 27, 2015 Week 8. Holy crap it's hot! Humidex is moving us up a few degrees as well. Ended up really stressed and working late last night so I missed my deads. Headache and boiling today so I figured I'll just test for Josh's RBBP bench program. I'll run it for a cycle again and continue to use Jesse's squat and pull protocol. I wanted this done quick. Bench Press 45 x 3 x 10r 135 x 5 185 x 3 225 x 2 280 x 5, 5, 5, 4, 5 I got out of groove on my 4th set by tagging my spotter chain but I managed to finish the rep. Worksets were just controlled, not paused. Swiss Bar Row - Mid Grip 125 x 10 215 x 3 x 10r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 What happened with the spotter chain? Did it start to weigh down one or both sides on the way up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
