Big Boy Basics

Weightlifting isn't that big in India. Infact, when I moved back home (permanently) in May, I had a really hard time finding a good gym. The one I am training at now is simply AWESOME imho and it is owned by this guy called Kaizzad Capadia.

To put things into perspective, Kaizzad is a PRO Bodybuilder in India. He has his own Fitness Academy which is pan-India right now with over 15 gyms. This is the very first of it's kind.

He's also very big into lifting heavy weights.

This is him Squatting 495x4 last week:

And this is him Deadlifting 545x2 that very same week:

My gym also has dumbbells going up to 200 lbs....

But if you mean information wise is India up to par with the rest of the world? No. Is K11 up to par with the rest of the world? More or less yes.

That's pretty cool, it is actually tough finding a good gym here in the states these days, it is fortunate you have a good place to train there in India.

Well, I had a few decent gyms in San Antonio apart from the gym at Trinity (which is THE best gym I have ever lifted at in my life) and when I went to Dallas with my friends every few weekends, we would train at LA Fitness which was really great.

FULL BODY TRAINING - Mesocycle 26 Week 1

Last week was hell at work. I worked 14-16 hours for 4 days straight. I'm not bitching. I'm just giving excuses for not updating this log in a week!!!

275 lbs x 1 rep
Decided to stop here.

Pull-ups:

FULL BODY TRAINING - Mesocycle 26 Week 2

Session took place on Wednesday. It was really good. I realized my mistake for the previous Front Squat session (on Tuesday) had been a lack of mobility drills. That is what my form blew and I kept having that damn buttwink.

315 x 5
345 x 1
315 x 4
Easy easy easy. I am going to play with 315 and own it. After that, my goal is to hit 365x5 by the end of the year. But right now: I want to own 315.

Pull-ups:
13 + 11 + 11 + 12 = 47 reps

Rope Pull-ups:
6 + 6 + 6 = 18 reps

The looks that I got were pretty funny lol...This was damn difficult. Next week the approach to this is going to be different. I am going to be working up to a "Struggle Set". What this basically means is that I am going to work up to a weight which I cannot lockout - a weight with which I will struggle when it is at my knees or thereabouts. After this Struggle Set I will reduce the weight and try locking out the reps. The goal is to explode off the floor on each and every set from the get go. Anyway, I'm gonna work up to the Struggle Set, do that for maybe 1 more attempt, reduce the weight, do a bunch of heavy lockouts with the bands on. Then, if I feel good I will take the bands off and do some heavy deads...otherwise I'll pack up.

Deadlift Work Sets:
415 x 2
455 x 1
