Ok workout, I was getting pissed at my pushing numbers today though. My WG pullups sucked ass, I suck at WG for some reason, they are alot harder to me. The last set I went with a very wide grip, that is why I think I only had 3 reps, whatever. I was just going to do three sets of singles today at 205 lbs for the bench press. It felt light so I did 215. I figured since I'm taking a week off I might as well see if I can get 225 lbs. There wasn't anyone in the gym to spot me so I just did 205 lbs again and it felt easier than before, I really wanted 225 lbs. Luckily someone I knew came in the gym and I got a spot. I didn't get it but it felt light coming off the rack. I decided to take a week off starting tommarow. Tommarow I'm doing a 1RM deadlift, I'm pretty confident I'll nab it. Belt is coming tommarow too, but not till after I workout. Last edited by fufu : 07-18-2006 at 08:57 AM. |

Good PR... you should periodize your workouts, i've been doing it linear for god knows how long and my progress has never stopped. Start with 185 3x3 and work up.
and how come your getting a belt? i dislike them so much, i much rather have a strong core to support my deads and squats than to rely on a belt |

Fufu i think WG pullups hit the slow twitch lats and chin ups hit the fast twitch part. I think 5 WG pullups is impressive man. Like you said the body has its cycles and i know you'll soon be doing Wg pullups for 8

Today's workout -
deadlift(sumo) - Full recovery set #1 - 8 reps at 135 lbs (warm up) set #2 - 4 reps at 225 lbs (warm up) set #3 - 1 rep at 315 lbs (warm up) set #4 - 1 rep at 365 lbs (warm up) set #5 - 1 rep at 415 lbs PR set #6 - missed 425 lbs front squats - RI 120 seconds set #1 - 2 reps at 235 lbs set #2 - 2 reps at 235 lbs set #3 - 2 reps at 235 lbs PR these sets got progressivly easier. I've said it before, but for me to have optimum strength on front squats I have got to have my form perfect, or else they blow. I was going for 3x3 today, meh. On the last set I felt a good 5 reps in me. DB Bulgarian squats - RI 90 seconds set #1 - 6 reps each leg at x2 40 lbs set #2 - 6 reps each leg at x2 45 lbs set #3 - 6 reps each leg at x2 50 lbs PR Second time doing these, weight is still feeling light. DB static holds - RI 90 seconds set #1 - 40 seconds at x2 100 lbs set #2 - 40 seconds at x2 100 lbs I was shooting for 45 seconds, I was counting in my head and my timing was a little off when I looked at my mp3 player. Oh wells. weighted gorilla hangs - RI 90 seconds set #1 - 23 seconds +50 lbs set #2 - 20 seconds +55 lbs set #3 - 30 seconds at +60 lbs PR lawl, I was shooting for 20 seconds on each. I guess it made up for my static holds. I decided to neg the calf shit today and do some extra grip work. cooldown walk, 15 minutes stretching. Great workout. I could notice that strength was down a bit from today and yesterday. I wasn't dissapointed that I missed my second deadlift attempt because I wasn't even planning on adding the weight, I don't know why I did. I went into the attempt thinking to myself "I'm not gonna get this right now". I am confident I can get 425 or 435, but not today. It is the perfect time to be taking a week off. The fact that I was being overtrained gives me some peace of mind knowing my week off is needed. I'm proud of my past 4 weeks of training, I believe it was the hardest I've ever busted my ass in the gym. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. ![]() Got some Yogurt later. hehe |

Ugh, I got owned at Yoga today. I've never fucking sweat so much as I did today. My mat was a god damn slip and slide. Good thing I drank a shit load of water beforehand. I did a handstand today for the first time, that was pretty cool. It is a little scary committing to those though. I also did a shoulder stand and was able to get my feet all the way to the ground without pain, which is new to me. I think I'm gonna do Yoga 1-2 times a week. It is a little too intense to do too often w/ weight training. I don't really know how taxing it is on the body though.
Also I think today was my record for lowest adjustments to my junk. I only did it like 3 or 4 times. Yeehaw. Oh yeah I did let loose a little fart today. It is so hard not to in some of the positions they have you do. I think I heard a couple girls to the side of the room giggling. I shoulda just let one rip. Got some new supplements in today. Some Cytosport whey, which tastes fucking fantastic, a NOW Men's multi, and some more fish oil caps. Also in the shipment was a weight belt(in case of PL comp), a free t-shirt, a free Xyience breakfast bar and a free shaker bottle/one I payed for. They fucking gave me a shitload of free stuff. hehe I also realize I have only "realised" myself once in the past 9 days. Must have been the overtraining! |

Thanks. I suprised myself. I really didn't see me front squatting this much at this point in time. I have a theory though...when I deadlift I really get my hips down low and pull with the bar right against me, so I am using alot of my legs. Maybe since the weight is loaded on the front of the body and my legs do alot of pulling, there is a crossover into front squats? Just an idea.

Nice deads and front squats Fufu. I wish I could pull sumo style, but I always end up hurting my hip flexors... I'm actually kind of anxious to go back to an upper lower splits other than Westside after my meet's over. I'm still going to train hard, but won't be maxing nearly as much, if at all for 2-3 months.

I'm loving the Upper/Lower, I can never go back to only working lower body once a week. My hip flexors are always give my funky feelings when I stretch but they don't bother me when deadlifting. I'm gonna start looking around for PL meets near me, I wanna try one. |

Those meets are pretty fun. Just be sure to practice strict form beings they dont let you use any other type of form. Good luck Fu.

Also on bench, they'll red light you if you bounce too much, or lock one side out too far ahead of the other... Or if you lift your head off the bench. Of course, it depends on the judges as well whether little things are going to be called. |

I have very long legs and a short torso i deadlift very well. I squat but it's tough for me. You may just have short legs and a long torso ideal for squatting. Not to say you cant deadlift because you can lift a hell ofa lotta weight. |

Today's diet was a bit off, more than it has been in a while. It wasn't that bad when I think back on it though.
I downed a quick protein shake before leaving my house in the morning. I went out to breakfast a little later with a friend and had an order of popcorn chicken with some water. Then I hung out with her dad all day and had some steak, kidney beans, and corn. Went off roading with him then came home and had some tuna and 12 grain bread, with some cheese. Now I just had some grain cereal and I'll have my cottage cheese/whey/peanut butter later. Hey, it wasn't so bad after all. I little too low on the carbs though. I'm thinking of heading back to the gym tommarow instead of tuesday. Seeing as I take time off every 4 weeks I can get away with 5 or 6 off days instead of 7. |

Wow today fucking blows
Workout - barbell rows - RI 90 seconds set #1 - 10 reps at 45 lbs (warm up) set #2 - 8 reps at 95 lbs (warm up) set #3 - 8 reps at 165 lbs set #4 - 8 reps at 165 lbs set #5 - 8 reps at 165 lbs pulldowns - RI 90 seconds set #1 - 8 reps at 150 lbs (underhand) set #2 - 8 reps at 155 lbs (underhand) set #3 - 6 reps at 155 lbs (overhand) I had a pinching pain where the shoulder meets the trap. Always a fucking shoulder pain somewhere, it never god damn fails. weighted dips set #1 - 4 reps +15 lbs...pathetic Shoulder still hurt so I called it quits. I hate this shit. The pain kept coming, then going away, I didn't want to hurt it any further. I think maybe I tweaked something because I was using an underhand thumbless grip on the pulldowns which made me really have to supinate my arm. Idk. I took some anti-inflams and it's on ice now. |
