EricMilfeld Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That's weird. I can't find it now. There's a reason I usually copy articles I like.... Oh well, but appreciate you looking. I've always performed close grips with a shoulder width grip or sometimes a little narrower. When I was benching well my percentage was about 85%.

Shoggoth Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 July 29, 2015 Before Supper Week 5. Not bad and feeling good for week 7. Switched my grip on the last set and niggled my wrist a bit. They each need proper warm-ups to supinate properly. Also need to shave down my callouses as I see a wreck coming. Working at keeping my shins more perpendicular. We'll see. Deadlift 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 2 405 x 1 455 x 1 - first filmed set 495 x 1 515 x 6 x 2r Dimels 135 x 3 x 15r RR Pull-ups - explode up, 3 second neg BW x 10 x 1r Strapless DB Row 100 x 1 x 30r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 How do you like the Dimel deadlifts? You have good bar speed throughout the lift as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 How do you like the Dimel deadlifts? You have good bar speed throughout the lift as well I find I feel them good in my glutes and hamstrings. Been working a lot on improving my lockouts. Basically my set-up. I could typically get quite a bit up and then stall at about my knees but I almost stiff legged my pulls before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 July 30, 2015 Before Supper Week 5. I think I lose a bit of stability doing dead's the day before. I was going to do 4 x 6r but decided to cut 'er back to a few triples instead based on how it was going. Strictish Press 45 x 4 x 8r 95 x 5 135 x 5 160 x 2 185 x 1 200 x 7, 6, 3, 3, 3, 6 Paused Floor Press 135 x 5 190 x 15, 10-2 Attempted some 5 dimes pinching but it wasn't happening today. Got some nice slices though for my trouble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Lookin' strong! Got a goal for the end of the cycle? Thanks Eric. Not sure if I want to push for a new max single and see where I'm at or go right into dieting. I think I may jump into the Rennaissance Diet with both feet and follow the diet and exercise protocol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thinking I should. This'll be 3, 8 week cycles I've done since the last time I did singles. Week 6. Crappy attempt at a workout. I'll try again tomorrow. I ended up taking the afternoon off of work nauseas and with a nasty headache and ended up sleeping until 4. Tried to get some pep for the workout but it wasn't there. Yesterday's squats probably have something to do with it as well I'm guessing. Bench Press Warm-up to 290 x 4, 4, 3 I was supposed to get 5's but I think it's too much of a jump based on a projected max. Got pinned attempting a 5th on the first set, feet skipped out and got pinned attempting a 4th on the last set. Good enough time to call it and regroup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 August 5, 2015 Before Supper Week 6. Couldn't get my 5's today either so I figured I'd go with 4's for 4-5 sets to stay at the high end of the Prilepin table. The 4th and 5th set I widened my grip back out to my middle fingers back on the rings and think I'm stronger there and probably could've gotten my 5's with that grip. Bench Press 45 x 3 x 10r 135 x 5 185 x 3 225 x 2 255 x 1 275 x 1 290 x 5 x 4r CG Bench - my triceps are apparently cooked 255 x 4 225 x 6, 5 Stiff Arm Pulldowns 100 x 3 x 10r Superset Band Pushdowns LT x 4 x 20r Band Curls MM x 4 x 20r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 August 6, 2015 Before Supper Week 6. Bit of a deload before trying to PR on pulls next week. Gave a crack at the dumbbell row challenge and failed out but I think I've got it without having trained biceps and lats the day before so I'll try again Saturday. SLDL out over toes 135 x 2 x 8r 185 x 8 225 x 2 x 8r Strapless DB Row 100 x 47 right, 45 left - like Josh said, "deep water" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
