Noice deadlift Fufu.

 

[fufu]

xceed was good when i first started, kind of got nasty at the end.. got a bit brown and tasted gross. im done with creatine now though. i usually cycle 1 tub/bottle a year usually in the summer. stick with whey and a multi the rest of the year

Same here, I just use it a treat now and then to give me a little kick.

Noice deadlift Fufu.

ty, ty.

Yeah, I'm content with my benching numbers but they are weak compared to my other lifts. My 1RM for flat press is like 225 lbs. I still have to work on my PL form, I find it hard to drive though the feet. I should probably start doing some DE stuff too.

Well I have a buddy who I lifted with in college. His deadlift was about yours and his bench was right around your numbers as well. About a year later he was beching around 300lbs. So within a year he added about 75lbs. on his bench press. So there is hope.

Who knows what can happen.

Looks like you're kicking ass in here. Feels good to pull in the 400s eh?

 

[Brutus_G]

You never top amazing me fufu.

Thank you. It felt fucking awesome. Probably the most satisfying lift in my weight training career. Especially knowing I have more in me too.

lawl, ty bud.

So I'm thinking of going for a 1RM squat on friday. I don't know if I should do this because I just did some singles for deadlifts on monday. My body has got plenty of rest in the past 2 weeks though. Plus, I'm only training 3 days this week. I just want a 315 lb squat. I'm pretty sure I'll have it no problem because I've made some big improvements on my form and my strength is way up from my last 1RM PR which was 295. That was like...3 or 4 months ago.

 

[Seanp156]

I'd say go for it.

 

[fufu]

I'd say go for it.

I think I will. If I get it, I'll have achieved 2/3 of my goals before I head back to school. After this it is time to get a 225 + bench, meh. I think I can get it now, but benching is very mental for me.

 

[joycough]

Me too. I've never been able to do 225 even if I could do 215 for 3-5 reps (this was years ago before I got slack. It'll take me months to get back to the numbers I used to push...But I'm determined!

Very nice work! Your workouts and numbers look impressive

Thanks. I don't have much enthusiasm towards bench pressing which doesn't help, but I know I can get there. Good luck yourself.

I played tennis for 1 1/2 hours before working out, with a break of course. I didn't know how I would feel during the workout since I exerted myself a bit before going. Despite the tennis I had a superb workout, I felt clear headed and extremely motivated.

Today's workout -

chin ups (neutral grip) - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 5 reps at bodyweight
set #2 - 5 reps at bodyweight
set #3 - 5 reps at bodyweight
set #4 - 5 reps at bodyweight

HS high row (alternating) - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 6 reps each side at 3 plates each side
set #2 - 6 reps each side at 3 plates each side
set #3 - 6 reps each side at 3 plates each side PR

push press - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 6 reps at 45 lbs
set #2 - 4 reps at 115 lbs
set #3 - 4 reps at 135 lbs
set #4 - 4 reps at 145 lbs
set #5 - 4 reps at 155 lbs PR

The RI on the last set was about 2 1/2 minutes.

Wow, getting the weight up felt "easy" when I push press. The weight went up fast on all my sets. Except maybe the last rep which took a second to lock out at the top, but I wasn't struggling. I really like these, they kick my ass.

seated chest press machine - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 8 reps at 150 lbs
set #2 - 8 reps at 155 lbs
set #3 - 8 reps at 165 lbs

cable face pulls - RI 60 seconds
set #1 - 8 reps at 90 lbs
set #2 - 8 reps at 90 lbs
set #3 - 8 reps at 90 lbs

stretching for 15 minutes.

Awesome workout. I plowed right through it. Nothing to complain about! Push presses really raped me, my entire body felt pretty taxed afterwards because of all the stablizing. I overstretched my adducters and gracilis though. When I stood up they tensed up and cramped, then my quads followed. I had to sit down for a couple minutes. I was a bit scared, I hate that shit. I probably shouldn't have stretched my lower body to the extent I did.

My parents had me move a large tv when I got back. I told them I was tired and my body wasn't up to it. They said I was the one with muscles. I said it wasn't a good idea but I moved it anyways. Then a tendon in my left arm cramped up and my lower back feels a little fucked up. Ghey. Time to foam roll.

 

[KelJu]

Don't you just hate that? You got the muscles so you should be the one to move all of this heavy shit around.


Nice workout also. I really should take note of your workout, because I am still lacking sufficient stabilizer training, and it is going to bite me in the ass soon.

Thanks. I dropped overhead pressing for a while because my shoulders were starting to bother me. I've been adding a few sets of stuff that invovled external rotation whenever I work my upperbody, which is what I have been hearing is prudent. Now I'll overhead press once and a while.

I'm prone to shoulder problems for a few reasons. My right shoulder is set a couple inches lower than my left. My left shoulder can pop out of place pretty easily and I get tendonitis in my right whenver I do alot of throwing or stroking(c'mon, tennis!) motions. So I figure I better play it safe.

cable face pulls

What are cable face pulls?

Looking good. I've never really been able to get into the push presses but good on ya

Yeah gotta be careful tennis is very important (not kidding I love to play as well)

A face pull is pretty much what its name is - you take a cable attactment and pull it towards your neck/face. It is alot like a seated cable row except instead of pulling into your abdominals, you pull to your face. I prefer to use a close pronated grip.

It's always nice to meet another tennis fan. How often do you play? Have you been watching Wimbledon?

 

[joycough]

Ahhhhh! LOL I was starting to think you pulled the cable with your face... LOL

We play tennis anywhere from once to four times a week. Haven't been watching too much yet. I've been really in to Futbol.

 

[Brutus_G]

Not to pick a side against you fufu but you are hella strong lol

 

[fufu]

Today's workout -

back squats
set #1 - 8 reps at 135 lbs (warm up)
set #2 - 3 reps at 225 lbs (warm up)
set #3 - 1 rep at 275 lbs (warm up)
set #4 - 1 rep at 315 lbs PR

front squats - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 5 reps at 135 lbs (warm up)
set #2 - 4 reps at 185 lbs
set #3 - 4 reps at 195 lbs
set #4 - 3 reps at 205 lbs PR

Fucking ghey. Non of these were close to failure but on the last set my right shoulder felt like it had way too much pressure on it. I wasn't thinking about my form too much.

calf raises - RI 75 seconds
set #1 - 12 reps at 135 lbs
set #2 - 12 reps at 135 lbs
set #3 - 12 reps at 135 lbs

Pause at top and bottom.

gorilla hangs - RI 90 seconds
set #1 - 65 seconds at body weight
set #2 - 55 seconds +20 lbs
set #3 - 40 seconds +25 lbs
set #4 - 40 seconds +30 lbs PR

10 minutes of stretching.

Meh, I don't know why but I don't feel that satisfied with my workout today. All my joints were bothering me. My shoulders, knees, hips, ankles, and back. The result of too much tennis I think. I had to drop alot of stuff because of it. My workout just felt like it had no rhythem to it, except maybe at the end.

I should be happy with my squat PR thought, 315 has been a goal for a while now. It was weird though, I felt like my head was going to explode. Form was good though. I had to squat high bar and with a medium stance because the PL style just wasn't feeling right. I think I have 325-330 lbs in me though. I was feeling pretty weak mentally about the 1RM except for the moment I got under the bar and on, which was good.

 

[fufu]

Not to pick a side against you fufu but you are hella strong lol

lawl, thanks Brutus. I'm happy where I am at. There are a few exceptions though. Are you all moved into your new place now?

 

[fUnc17]

good job on the PR.. can't wait to start back squatting heavy again

 

[Seanp156]

Good vworkuit Fufu, impressive front squats.

 

[fufu]

Thanks. When are you gonna start upping the intensity on the ol' squats?

Good vworkuit Fufu, impressive front squats.

Zank you, they have been going pretty smooth for me. I like the way they feel. I need to get my form down better before I start going heavier. I'm suprised with the strength I have for them though.

 

[Brutus_G]

nice squatting man. have you ever tried glucosamine chondroitin? It has really helped me alot with my knees.

Yea the move went pretty good. i dont have a tv but as long as i can go online and lifts who cares lol.

 

[fufu]

lawl. Thanks. I'm looking into some joint supps currently. I'll check it out.

 

[joycough]

Yeah I have bad knees and glucosamine chondroitin works wonders (lakota is another that is actually pretty good but I don't know if you guys get it in the states).

Nice Squats Mate!

 

[fufu]

Thanks.

hmmm, I'll have to check out this glucosamine chondroitin stuff.

 

[fUnc17]

Thanks. When are you gonna start upping the intensity on the ol' squats?

don't plan on it. Doing it for speed/technique right now. After I achieve my goals I will switch to a westside template and do oly lifting either barbell or Kbells on DE days.

 

[fufu]

Gotcha.
