Going pretty well Arch, how about you? Making good progress for the comp?

I had to take an hour and a half nap after I got my shake after that workout

How was your experience with those dudes? Do you think your new form helped you at all. If not, it probably takes a couple weeks to get used to.

It was cool, they're pretty nice and seemed to be pretty eager to help me out, so I think I'll keep training with them on Sunday mornings for the next 6 weeks or so of Westside, then decide if I want to change things up or not.

I don't think I would've hit a PR with my new form if I were doing a full, and slow/strict press, so no I'm definately not used to the form yet.

One of them went up to working with a little over 7 plates per side today

. Even with a shirt, that's still impressive.

That is cool that there are actually people like that. You probably learn a few things from them.

Damn over 675 lbs? That's a fucking lot. Must have been cool watching a guy handle that much weight in person.

Yeah, hehe... I was one of the side spotters when he was down in the 500's. When he went higher there was a little crowd hanging out watching him.

Seanp156 · 05-22-2006, 01:06 PM

I seem to be having a little trouble with my order of creatine and chalk...

I ordered 2 tubs of VNS Jacked, 1 of Storm, and 2lbs of gym chalk... The site I bought from is saying the VNS Jacked is on backorder (I placed my order on 5/11/06) and they still haven't gotten it in today; saying it's past the expected date from the manufacturer, so nothing's even shipped out to me yet.

They've offered to replace it with another product, but I really like VNS Jacked from when I used it last time, and some other pre-workout sups I've tried have made me sick to my stomach, so I'm a little cautious of trying new products... I'm already trying Storm which is new, so I don't really want my whole order to be products I have no experience using...

I'm thinking about just having them replace the Jacked with 2 more tubs of Storm, then ordering the VNS Jacked from another site but what if I don't respond well to it? I'll have wasted $80...

Anyway, there's my rant... Tonight's going to be ME Squat day and I'm trying for a 1RM PR, but my legs and glutes are STILL REALLY sore from friday's workout

.

KelJu · 05-22-2006, 02:31 PM

Hey Sean, do you feel your body responding to the westside style?
If so, do you feel that it is better than P/RR/S?

**CowPimp** · 05-22-2006, 02:39 PM

Sounds like you had a good session with those guys. That's an awesome opportunity, and it's great that they're willing to help you. I had no idea you weren't using PL form! All your upper back work will pay off more in the long run once you get fully adjusted.

Hehe, yeah it was nice... The only part of power lifting form I was using was a narrow grip, and bringing the bar down to my upper abs, so I guess my 1RM of 205 was basically a close grip press.

I did Westside back in the fall as well, at this point I definately like it better than P/RR/S... I just think I like upper/lower splits overall. Not really a fan of bodypart training anymore, however I might do a push/pull/leg split again some time.

Right now I'm feeling a little exhausted, so after this week I'm going to take a week off. I might do some active recovery/deloading, or I might just do nothing, not really sure yet.

Seanp156 · 05-22-2006, 09:58 PM

Pretty good session tonight except my stomach felt a little irritated throughout... I guess steak, potatoes, and veggies isn't exactly the best choice for a pre-workout meal, but that's the price I pay for working out at night instead of the morning...

Also, at night is seems a lot of college age pretty boys show up to the gym... It's hilarious, they're always in groups of 2 or 3, and they're INCREDIBLY GAY... I swear, curling in the squat rack (the one with adjustable pins at that) with 75lbs and having your friend spot you....

Worst of all they're all tan beyond what looks natural, and wear underarmor or sleeveless tees...And of course, they all have chicken legs. It's hilarious

Annnnnnyway, I bumped up the volume on leg press, as well as rack deads, and decreased the intensity a bit.

Parallel Squats
45lbs x 8
95lbs x 6
135lbs x 5
165lbs x 5
185lbs x 3
205lbs x 3
225lbs x 2
255lbs x 1
275lbs x 1 (warmups to here)
305lbs x 1 PB - Got stuck about 3-4 inches out of the hole, but eventually got it up
225lbs x 8 (I know, I'm sick)

Glute/Ham Raise
25lbs x 3 sets x 10 reps

Leg Press
180lbs x 6
270lbs x 6 (warmups to here)
430lbs x 8
380lbs x 8
360lbs x 8
320lbs x 12

Rack Deads
135lbs x 6
185lbs x 6 (warmups to here)
225lbs x 8
255lbs x 8
255lbs x 8
225lbs x 8

Cable Crunches
140lbs x 12
150lbs x 12
170lbs x 6 PB weight wise

stretch

Workout didn't take long at all, maybe an hour.

**CowPimp** · 05-22-2006, 11:52 PM

3 plates is right around the corner there Sean. Rock on.

fufu · 05-23-2006, 02:08 AM

gj on the squat PR. Very good.

It is so funny seeing those kind of guys, they are such tools.

Yep, went from 285 to 305 in the past 5 weeks on my squat, so that's good. After my break, I'll be working on my deadlift for the next 5 weeks, so I won't see a 315 squat for at least 7 or so weeks.

Hopefully I'll be able to get my deadlift to 345 in 5 weeks.

If I can hit a 365 deadlift, 245 bench, and 325 squat by October for the meet at a bodyweight of 180 or less, I'll be happy.

Thanks fufu. Yeah, I can't help myself glaring at those types of guys... I think I rolled my eyes at one of them when he looked at my in the mirror

**CowPimp** · 05-23-2006, 10:27 PM

Sounds like some very reasonable goals to me. I'm sure you can achieve them. Your bench goal is somewhat lofty, but October gives you plenty of time.

Bak2Modelling · 05-24-2006, 12:51 AM

admire the fact you track your body changing with photos.. looks like ur on track..

good stuff..

You really think the bench goal's a little high? I don't know, I was thinking training with these guys might get it even higher than that by October.

Pretty good workout today, much better than last week's DE day... The gym's STILL being painted so all the equipment's still unoriganized etc which can be a little distracting...

Also, the dips seemed to be more stressful than usual across my clavical... I don't think I'll do this movement every week... I'll probably alternate between it and push-presses from now on.

Speed Bench Press (PL form of course)
45lbs x 2 sets x 3 reps
95lbs x 3 reps
115lbs x 3 reps
130lbs x 4 sets x 3 reps
135lbs x 4 sets x 3 reps - 135 actually feels lighter than 130... I think it's because having a 45 on each side distributes the weight further and makes it easier to balance overall than a 25,10,5,and 2.5 on each side...

DB Incline Press
50lbs x 4 (warmup)
60lbs x 2 sets x 6 reps
50lbs x 2 sets x 6 reps

DB Rows
60lbs x 4 (warmup)
70lbs x 4 sets x 6 reps each arm

Dips
BW + 35lbs x 6
BW + 25lbs x 6
BW + 10 x 6
BW x 6

Pronated Pullups
BW x 6 PB
BW x 4

Parallel grip pullups
BW x 2 sets x 5 reps

Skull Crushers
50lbs x 6 warmup
60lbs x 7
60lbs x 5

Cable Pushdowns
50lbs x 12
60lbs x 8

Farmer's Walk
70lbs DB's x down aisle and back

15 min stationary bike
10/20 resistance
random hill course
3.4 miles
~87 cals

stretch + rotar cuff work

fufu · 05-24-2006, 02:35 PM

loooooooking gooooooooood. weeeeeeeeeee.

My creatine and chalk finally got here today... I can't wait to try Storm pre-workout, and I might give the chalk a try on SLDL's.
