bubba29 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Location: Home Gym (8-25) Well, my back was pissed at me Saturday so I decided not to do the Saturday strongman workout. High rep deadlift and Rolling Thunder a few days apart, no doubt flared me up. Will have to be careful with that for the next month on this deadlift program. I worked on grippers to give my back a break. Nothing spectacular happened. Still a ways off from closing my GHP 6. I suspect if my hands were fresher, I would get closer. Got some decent work in none the less. Also did a bunch of tuck planche 10 count holds on floor handles and rings. This worked my shoulders and abs.

Did 4-5 rep sets with a 1.5 throughout last Monday but they felt pretty easy. This felt much harder. I do believe the reps will help improve my set. I am hoping to also toughen my hands up a bit. Not sure if it will fatigue my hands too much. Find out tomorrow when I deadlift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba29 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Location: Home Gym (8-30) Got some work in at home last Thursday. Dragged my new sled in the street by my house. Did 4 drags of about 50 yards total. Worked up to one 60 pound kid sitting on the tire. Felt it pretty good from hammies up to mid back. Then I went into garage and did some weighted ring dips and one armed ring rows. Did some one hand pinch work too. Nothing spectacular but got the work in.

This is a tough cycle. The first rep of my working sets feels really hard then I realize I have 7 more reps. I am interested in seeing what happens when I get closer to max weights. Will I be able to get the first set as prescribed? In 3 weeks, I have 130 x 5. If I get that, I will be really happy. I may have to adjust on the fly.

I am not used to doing high rep stuff so I always wonder how it will go as I climb up in weight. In working set, I go overhand till just before grip fails then go to mixed grip. Kirk shrugs are something new I tried. Probably will go lighter next time to get more and better reps. I love fron squats but my wrists don't have the flexibility to support higher weight. This is why I avoid them. So I just go as deep as possible with lighter weight. Like how this movement challenges my torso stabilizers.

bubba29 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Location: Home Gym RT: Worked up to 1 RM of 148 left/153 right. Then backed off to 138 and did 3 sets of 2 reps each hand. Not real happy with my max but I got some work in. Did some hubbing on my 35# plate. Added 3.5# of various steel things. This is a max for my so I am very happy with it. I also messed around deadlifting my 30# KB one hand bottoms up. This used to be impossible but is becoming routine. I suspect my thumbs are getting stronger. I have seen decent gains in thumb related stuff except the RT, weird. This is really the only fatbar training I get. I do occassionally train at a place that has an axle but I don't get there nearly as often as I'd like. I did 313# last time I tested myself there so that is up 30# since my last comp in Feb. And that was after a full training session. I might go over 320# in a comp. Did some 85# one armed rows with plates loaded on my short loading pin. My right hand was a bit tweaked so I shut it down after 2 x 8. Edited September 10, 2012 by bubba29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Your deadlift is getting very strong. Especially compared to your low body weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to add in a higher rep finishing set and see if that helps. I have been stagnant with this lift for years. I like it because it is one of the only presses that doesn't really bother my shoulder. I wonder if my lack of significant weight increases is my bodies way of protecting my shoulder. I don't know but I have to find a way to get out of this rut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to see where I end up when the training period is up in 3 weeks. My goal is bodyweight overhead press and that was 170 but by the time I get close to that goal I may have to bump it to 180 due to weight gain. That is a problem I'd be happy to deal with.
