Rocks TP-PT Journal: The Recomp

Today was Back. But first a story.

When I was getting ready for my comp. I was stoked by the fact I could do Wide-grip pull-ups with a 25 strapped around my waist. and that I could do like 8-10 w/o weight. For the next 3 weeks after I decided not to do my Competition I was doing Wide-grip Pull-ups instead of Pull-downs for TP-PT. But everyday that I did them it got harder and harder, till I was struggling to do 6 reps with just my bodyweight. I was depressed (not majorly :)) about this and the fact I kept getting weaker. Today I finally realised, DUH! I've put on 30lbs, of course it's going to be harder. :) So for Phase II we are supposed to do Pull-ups but I'm doing Pull-downs instead for right now :D

Wide Grip Pulldown, 3 sets- (w/straps)
130x8
135x5
130x7

Close Grip Pulldown, 3 sets- (w/o straps)
130x7
135x6
135x6

Deads, 3 sets- (w/straps)
225x9
275x7
285x6

One Arm row, 3 sets- (w/o straps)
60x9
70x8
80x7

Wow, I haven't done Full Deads in a LONG time. It's kinda hard with my back but I managed them. After the first set I thought I was going to have a heart attack though. I felt as though I just ran a marathon! I also have no skin left on my shins and knees, not looking forward to showering :D

:rofl: Yup, I think the added weight might have something to do with that ;)

Because of tendonitis TP switched upright rows to arnold presses for me. Wish I could do Upright rows!!

You do very well bud ;)

doens't the CG bench also pump up your chest? Even with my wrists as close together as possible, my chest still gets pulled into it..
 
It will a bit yes, moreso on some -- biomechanically speaking.
 
Thanks everyone! On a side note, I'm afraid I'll have to drop out of the program. I'll know on Saturday. I have some time off of work, our insurance check just came in so I'm going to get Lasik surgery. I'll find out if I'm a candidate on Sat, but I'm sure I am. I can lift afterwards, I just can't strain for 3 weeks or so. So I don't think that would work with this program :)
 
Chest & Calves

Someone really needs to teach people how to spot!! I ask for a spot on my last bench set. I asked for a lift-off (which I didn't get) and said I'm trying for how many I get plus 1-2 forced reps that I really want to work through. The guy was like "Alright, duh". So I start struggling on the 5th rep. Just going up a bit slower than the others but still getting it and this jackass grabs the bar and lifts it up. And that is how the next 2 reps were also. I was sooo mad. But oh well...

I hear ya there buddy, but i'm sorry cause my training partener (Ryan) is great at spotting. When i get to failure he only spots enough to keep the bar moving :mad: just.... :eek:

Should be great to get those eyeballs done m8y ;)
 
Looking good Rock you have really shot up with this program. To bad you gotta drop out, hope you get your eyes taken care of right. I wouldnt mind some lasik
 
Looking good Rock, weights are awesome :thumb:

How much does the LASIK cost per eye?

I saw some misleading advertising claims on TV about the LASIK ey institute, where they advertise $299 or whatever per eye, but when you go in for an evaluation they tell you a completely different price. Because to qualify for the low pricing you eyes have to be in pretty good shape to begin with.

Just a heads up, good luck!
 
Thanks guys! I'm sad I'm dropping out too, but I'm very excited to be able to see :D

Iain, the Lasik is going to be 1,000 per eye, so 2,000 overall. In reality, if they would have quoted me $299 it would have scared me out of it :)
 
The Deads KILLED me again today. And I'm afraid my form is not very good. I have trouble keeping my back straight when I go from the floor. Wonder if I should go back to racked Deads, probably. And I had rivulets of blood going down my shins today. People were looking at me weird, and I don't blame them.
