Strongman + Powerlifting + Weightlifting = Squaggleboggin

Squaggleboggin · 12-06-2005, 05:54 PM

Some of you may know me as the sixteen-year-old kid who tries to help people but is often corrected by others. Some of you may know me as Nick. I'm starting a journal so I can get some feedback from other people on my workouts. I've been progressing, but I sometimes feel like I need a little encouragement and may soon be posting some pictures and/or videos of my lifts for critique. As you can tell from the title, I'm trying to gain as much functional strength as possible by implementing strongman, powerlifting and weightlifting into my routine all at once. This should be fun...

Ah, yes, I may as well add my current stats to look back on the fun in the future:

420 Deadlift
265 ATG Front Squat
295 ATG Back Squat
~120 DB Bench (pure guesstimation)
205(ish) BW

I'm looking at these goals by the time I turn 17 (July 2006):

475 deadlift
315 ATG Front Squat
350 ATG Back Squat (don't care too much though)
200 DB Bench
280 Farmers' Walk
250 Clean and Press
190 BW

Squaggleboggin · 12-06-2005, 05:57 PM

Today's workout:

Front Jump Squats 3x10 (45); SLDLs 3x10 (45); DB Benches 3x10 (40)

Today was a light day, circuit-style. This is mainly for flexibility, active recovery, form, speed work and some cardiovascular training mixed in as well. Not a whole lot to say about today as it was a light day and not my idea of an excellent workout, but it was great in terms of what it was meant to accomplish nonetheless. Tomorrow I deadlift. The true test cometh...

**CowPimp** · 12-06-2005, 08:05 PM

I was going to suggest that you start a journal. I will definitely be poking my head in here. Good luck on the deadlifting tomorrow. The PR shall cometh.

PreMier · 12-06-2005, 10:18 PM

Goodluck

Squaggleboggin · 12-07-2005, 07:50 AM

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone, but it seems as though this was a poor time to start a journal. I just had the worst workout I've had in months. This new routine with the addition of clean and presses and farmers' walks is definitely getting to me. Looks like I'll need at least another week to become fully accustomed to it.

Here's what today was supposed to be like this:

Deadlifts 1x6 (135), 1x4 (225), 1x3 (325), gloves go on and I start using mixed grip 1x1 (385), 1x1 (420); Military Presses 3x3 (60), 3x2 (105); Yates Rows 3x3 (135), 3x2 (250); Chin Ups 2x1

Wow... The 325 deadlifts were difficult for me to do, which they shouldn't have been considering I keep those there strictly to warm up and build up the toughness of my hands. The 385 was nearly impossible. It took several focused attempts to actually hit it. Again, this shouldn't have been the case because I've been hitting 385 for weeks before going really heavy. I then decided to try 425. I knew I wouldn't get it, but had to try anyways just because. Of course, I failed the attempt several times and then decided to move on since it really wasn't doing any good. Next came the military presses. Even the warm ups were difficult and I got halfway through the second set before I stopped those. I didn't even try the rest of the workout. I know it's just an off day so I'm not all that disappointed - I've been making solid progress for many weeks. I'm just wondering what it was. I ate a good amount of protein this morning and last night. I got enough sleep today (it was a snow day so more so than usual) too. I think it was a combination of working out in the morning (I'm not a morning person) and my new routine. Oh well, I'm confident I'll do much better next week when I become more accustomed to my routine and when I can work out at my usual time again.

TJ Cline · 12-07-2005, 09:16 AM

Been waiting for you to start one of these....I will be looking in to see what and how you are training.

Squaggleboggin · 12-07-2005, 09:24 AM

Thanks, Foreman, I look forward to your comments. All sarcasm aside, I'm sure you'll be providing lots of insight and new ideas (or at least new to me).

Vanessa40 · 12-07-2005, 09:25 AM

Hi,
I must say i'm very impressed with you. When i see all the kids at my daughters high school who are overweight,smoking,drinking,not taking care of there bodies. It's great to see a teenager who cares about their body. Keep up the good work.

Vanessa

Squaggleboggin · 12-07-2005, 10:02 AM

Thanks a lot, Vanessa. I really appreciate the encouragement and take great pride in my training and in my insatiable quest for knowledge.

Squaggleboggin · 12-10-2005, 08:12 PM

Today I did more circuit training. I decided to change the order of my workouts a little so today I did deadlifts, military presses, yates rows and chin ups (would have been clean and presses, farmers' walks and pull ups). Again, just a circuit day so nothing super special, just good for some cardiovascular work. Tomorrow I do front squats. Oh joyous day.

Seanp156 · 12-10-2005, 08:19 PM

Cool, nice to see you started a journal, I'll probably stop in from time to time.

Squaggleboggin · 12-11-2005, 08:43 PM

Thanks, Seanp, I look forward to your comments. There's something warm and fuzzy about having a lot of people coming to your journal to check your progress... Hmm...

So today was a lot of fun. Really, it was.

Workout:

Front Squats 3x3 (135), 3x2 (255); SLDLs DOH grip 3x3 (160), 3x2 (310); DB Benches 3x3 (80), 3x2 (120)

The front squats felt absolutely fantastic. I loved those. It felt really good moving up in weight yet again and being able to complete the workout. I think I'll start doing bottom front squats instead for more emphasis on power and functional strength. I should be able to do 3x2 (225) with those, but I'll have to take the weight from the rack, lower it down, pause with the weight resting completely on the sawhorses, and then begin eccentric portion of the rep. The SLDLs were good too. It seemed like I improved my form even after going up in weight as usual. The DB benches sucked. I'm so weak in the chest from not doing anything for it in a long time. I was hardly able to complete the 3x2 (120). I used to be up to 140, so I'm not too far behind where I was. It just feels like I should be doing a lot more for some reason. Oh well, I'll be doing more weight soon enough. I can't expect to move lots of weight when just starting an exercise again.

**CowPimp** · 12-11-2005, 09:59 PM

Numbers look solid Squag. I like those front squats. Very respectable if I do say so myself!

For the DB bench press are you using 2x60s or 2x120s?

Squaggleboggin · 12-12-2005, 01:35 PM

Thanks, CP. Legs are definitely my strong point (as in disproportionately strong). I always indicate the total weight for an exercise. I wish I were using 120s though...

What do you guys think? Should I give bottom front squats a try or stick with the normal ones? It's not really vital that I change my workout at the moment - I've been progressing. I'm just thinking it'll help develop more power.

dougnukem · 12-12-2005, 01:40 PM

I always go with how it makes you feel. For me, I like to change things almost weekly, as it makes my workout more interesting, and more challenging, IMO. BTW, nice stats so far, always good to see a teenager that's goal oriented, and just as Vanessa said health conscious. Keep it up and don't be discouraged by any difficulties at the beginning.

when was the last time you changed it? If you are making progress still, why change it up?

Thanks for the encouragement and the advice. That's one of those things I'll have to remember to look back on when I'm having a tough time.

P-Funk

I was thinking the same thing. I'm still making progress and there's no real reason to change it, I was just wondering if bottom front squats wouldn't be better for more power and to help become more explosive on my clean and presses. Thanks for stopping in.

Vannessa40

Thanks for dropping by again - I really appreciate the encouragement.

myCATpowerlifts

It's nice to see yet another experienced and knowledgeable member come by to take a look. Thanks for the compliment.

Today's Workout:

Clean and Presses 3x10 (45); Farmers' Walks 3x2 (100); Pull Ups 3x2

Another circuit day, and another day of cardiovascular fitness (or progression towards it). It felt nice. I nailed the clean and press form time and time again and I really think it's coming along nicely. I'm glad I have these light days to make sure of it. Farmers' walks seemed extremely easy for some reason. That's a good thing, though. Pull ups were still fairly hard, but I think I'm making even more progress in those still.

**P-funk** · 12-12-2005, 07:56 PM

I like bottom position front squats. I do them only when I find my progress slowing on my front squats. if it is strength you want then just do three sets of singles at the end of your workout. Increase weight each set and each week try and set a new PR. I do that for a few weeks and it works well. then I have to get crafty and start doing other things like bottom position squats or speed work.

Squaggleboggin · 12-12-2005, 08:07 PM

That's a good idea. I already do very low reps though, so I don't know if I'd be able to do that at the end. I typically try to add five pounds each and every week with my 3x2 scheme, and that seems to work for me. If I find myself grinding to a halt I'll try to remember to try that though. Thanks for the advice.

Squaggleboggin · 12-14-2005, 04:04 PM

Well today was a good day.

Workout:

Deadlifts 1x6 (135), 1x4 (245), 1x2 (350), 1x1 (385), 1x1 (425); Military Presses (thumbless) 3x3 (55), 3x2 (95); Yates 3x3 (135), 3x2 (225); Face Pulls (pronated grip) 2x1

The deadlift was a new PR for me (425 @ 204 BW). That felt really good. The 350 set felt good too - no gloves w/DOH grip. That seemed like a nice test of grip strength for me. I'll add weight next week. The military presses are something in which I am still fairly weak. That'll change. Yates rows - I moved down from 250 because I knew I was cheating myself with my form. This felt good with very solid form. Chin ups (don't know what they're really called but my palms are facing away from me) were good. I've definitely made progress with those because I used to not be able to do even a single repetition. All in all, this felt really good and I'm glad I took yesterday off (I woke up with my back sore so I figured deadlifting wouldn't be too much fun).

PreMier · 12-14-2005, 04:37 PM

Wanna race to 500?

Squaggleboggin · 12-15-2005, 08:06 PM

This could get interesting... Make me an offer and give me some details... Heh heh heh...

Today's workout:

Front Jump Squats (thumbless) 3x10 (45); SLDLs DOH 3x10 (45); DB Benches 3x10 (40) - circuit style

Another good round of cardio work for me. I'm liking these extra days - they seem to actually do something and they're nice and quick too.

**CowPimp** · 12-15-2005, 08:25 PM

Good PR on deadlifts Squagmeister. 425 is no joke. By the time you're graduating high school you'll be deadlifting 600. When I finish my bulking cycle and move on to what will probably be a few months of Westside, I'm going to have to catch up to you on deadlifts. We can all race to 500.

May the force be with you young jedi.

PreMier · 12-15-2005, 11:05 PM

Lift 500 raw.. no belt, no straps.. any grip(hook, double over, over/under) goes. And its a regular deadlift. I guess thats all? And just be honest, it could make for some fun rather than just lifting for the hell of it

Squaggleboggin Functional Lifting = Life Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 3,540 Photos: 3	Well today was a good day. Workout: Deadlifts 1x6 (135), 1x4 (245), 1x2 (350), 1x1 (385), 1x1 (425); Military Presses (thumbless) 3x3 (55), 3x2 (95); Yates 3x3 (135), 3x2 (225); Face Pulls (pronated grip) 2x1 The deadlift was a new PR for me (425 @ 204 BW). That felt really good. The 350 set felt good too - no gloves w/DOH grip. That seemed like a nice test of grip strength for me. I'll add weight next week. The military presses are something in which I am still fairly weak. That'll change. Yates rows - I moved down from 250 because I knew I was cheating myself with my form. This felt good with very solid form. Chin ups (don't know what they're really called but my palms are facing away from me) were good. I've definitely made progress with those because I used to not be able to do even a single repetition. All in all, this felt really good and I'm glad I took yesterday off (I woke up with my back sore so I figured deadlifting wouldn't be too much fun).

Today's workout: Front Jump Squats (thumbless) 3x10 (45); SLDLs DOH 3x10 (45); DB Benches 3x10 (40) - circuit style Another good round of cardio work for me. I'm liking these extra days - they seem to actually do something and they're nice and quick too.

By the time you're graduating high school you'll be deadlifting 600. When I finish my bulking cycle and move on to what will probably be a few months of Westside, I'm going to have to catch up to you on deadlifts. We can all race to 500. May the force be with you young jedi.
