Thanks Brother Gary!!!
 
Nice load there Archie. V-bars have been my fav tri move since the first time I tried them out.
 
Thanks Brother Pylon, I like those and Close Grip Benches the best!!!
 
Nice workout archangel! What are you going to replace deads with if you drop them??

Great job toughing it out on the 315! I wish I had that kind of mental strength with me today
 
Great w/o man!!! you def tuffed it out with the deads, and ur gunna drop em??!! WHAT???!!!

you lowered the weight on the rows didnt u, squeezing ur lats is so much better isnt it?
 
Nice numbers on the V-bar. I like the feel of those too. Gives a good pump!
 
Muscle Gelz Transdermals
IronMag Labs Prohormones
Nice work out. I think you should keep doing the deadlifts, but what would you replace them with if you did drop them.
 
How about rack pulls? Not too different, but a little easier on the body overall. Gives you a chance to hammer your back while giving your legs a little bit of an easier time. Just a thought.
 
Brother Alaric - Thank you so much, you do have the mental tuffness, or else you wouldn't be w/o at all!!! Hang in there, and Good luck tomorrow!!!

Brother FUnc - Thank you too Brother, I might not drop 'em but not sure yet!!!
Actually I went up 5 pounds, but your right, squeezing them totally fries 'em GOOD!!!

Brother Bear - Thanks Brother, and yes sir...........They do give you an awesome pump!!!

Brother School - Thanks for the compliment, I might keep 'em, not sure yet!!!

Brother Pylon - Your a genuis, I can't believe I never thought of those!!! Okay Boys, will mull it over and see how my rack will set up. If it possible, I will be doing Rack Deads!!! Thanks Brother!!!
 
20 minute workout!? That sick. I'm so jealous, I wish I could get my workout done in that amount of time. How do you like the full body workouts? Are you doing an HIT based routine? How'd you come up with it? etc. etc. etc. haha
 
Yes sir.........20 minutes!!! Of course I did feel slightly nauseaus!!! :laugh:
No, it's not a HIT style, I got the info from P-Funk. It's a routine made up from Chad Waterbury.
I really do like FullBody routines, but will be switching it up shortly!!!
Thanks for stoppin by, much appreciated!!!
 
Hye good lookin w/o there bud! Awsome weights used.

I hear ya on the deads...after a while you just need to change it up they just don't feel right sometimes. And if your deadlifting 3 times a week you don't truelly recover fast enough IMO! I'm droppin my conventional deads next week for some SLDL's just to give the low back a little activation but not kill it like I have been.
 
:o Oh my, if he starts doing Rack Pulls I'm sure his numbers are going to be even more insane, something completely out of this world!
 
Brother Bolt - Thanks for the compliment and encouragement!!! Yeah, my lower back is just fried right now. I think because I hold on to the weight the entire rep AND then do a shrug, there is no rest in between reps like I guess most people do? I really like SLD's too!!! Will be starting a new routine next week. Will keep you all posted.

Brother Alaric - :laugh: I sure hope so!!! Thanks for the inspiration :thumb:
 
Yea deads will get to ya after a while lol. When I do my deads I get to my full contraction at the top and squeeze then lock my body out at the top for a true pull...then lower it slowely ussally stopping the bar just as its about to touch then go again. I keep constant pressure on the muscles from when I grab the bar to when my set is done. People always say no ecentric motion really of the deadlift but they also say don't bounce it so I try to lower it gracefully then start my pull without bouncing.

I know if I let the bar hit the ground after each rep I could bang out alot more weight but I just don't do it that way. I like big #'s but theres a reason I'm doing this....to get stronger not just cheat out some numbers ya know.
 
Good call deadbolt, it pays to leave the ego at the door before you lift off, you'll see much better results from it! However, in my case, I usually let it touch the floor, then regrip, then go up again. Its like I treat every rep as a single (but it only takes me 1-2 secs to regrip and go up again).

Which is the reason you probably outperform 90% of the people in the gym...Just a guess...
 
Thank you so much everybody!!! You ALL really help keep me motivated and push through the toughest w/o's!!! You ALL are the best!!! Will be going back to P/RR/S starting Monday. Will prolly shake it up a little bit and do something like this :
M-Chest/Biceps
T-Legs
W-Off
Th-Back/Traps
F-Delts/Triceps
Will prolly do something like this too : P/RR/S/RR/P/RR/S/RR/P etc.

Total w/o time : 24 minutes
Felt pretty good about todays w/o, I'm starting to get the hang of these pullups!!!
On a side note............. Looked at my squat rack today, Rack Deads are a GO!!! Whoo Hoo, one question though, how high should I have the bar lifted off the ground in the rack before I start my lift? Did that make sense? Thanks again to you all for the inspiration and encouragement to do this!!!
Brother Pete, I appreciate that, I can't wait to see your routine and draw inspiration from your physique!!!
Gotta run now, promised LilBit a tea party and movies, I LOVE being a Daddy :thumbs:

GOD Bless
 
Another great w/o buddy. I'll be happy when I hit most of those numbers for just one rep :thumbs: Great that your coming back to P/RR/S. We'll have to make you a Beast Brother :D

Rack Deads are up to you. I usually place it about 2-3 inches below knee level but it's advisable to change the height w/o to w/o. Higher somedays, lower others.

I bet your an awesome Dad, Lisa and I are still trying and I can't wait until that day!!
