dude this is my 4th week pulling like this and it's just too much for me apparently.. 500 for 10 today was BRUTAL and I skipped my 585 set. Just wasn't feeling it today. I'll do some squatting and some accessory work tomorrow but as a whole i think I'm already overtraining..
i know deadlifts, especially heavy deadlifts, over and over again are VERy taxing on the body (cns/pns/etc.) SO.. that would explain today's problem...if you consider only 500 for 10 a problem but either way, I plan on rotating squats and deadlifts again. One week of pulling and one week of squatting. I think the huge influx of positive bio-chemicals released during squatting from working such large muscle groups found in the legs will help the healing process and actually BOOST the deadlift. I love deadlifting this way and think it will REALLY get me back on track because it's the same way that I got to where I was to begin with. I pulled 585 not a few months after pulling 500 for the first time after training this way!
the stress facture in my right ring finger was ever apparent today leaving me to want to do accessory tomorrow after pulling today... probably a good call anyway. I LOVE my results from ALN. No matter how i'm feeling or what i'm doing before hand, taking it just before lifting REALLY gets me going. LOVE the shit.. wether it's mental or physical (with me it's both.. due to creatine uptake and usuage gically in the muscles and my confidence in my understanding in it's use by my body) it's doing a pretty fucking amazing job. I do miss my maximus though. I feel like I can't really recover fast enough without it but hell taking two shakes of it a day ontop of my typical daily intake would help ANYONE...
damn dude you're gonna have to get a license or make people sign a disclaimer to shake hands soon.
HAHAHAHA the funny part..i'm considered strong in the grip community but there are quite a few much stronger than myself. I'm sure you've heard of WADE GILLINGHAM.. dude is a FREAK in grip! Went out and bought out the local feed store of all their horse shoes today to give me some cheap entertainment.. something about doing shit you never thought possible both recently and even as a kid just seems fun to me.
you'd better hit up a few meets someday dude. as in, i'm gonna be pissed off at you if you don't. that's out of control, mang. i step out for a few months and all you bastards went and got ridiculous.
one of my female powerlifting clients will be going for a push-pull record the same time I am in october. I hope to pull 660 or better and bench over 400 for the first time in a meet but unlike me, she will EASILY break the record by over a couple hundo.. I'll have to work for mine. When it's all said and done, if i'm pulling 585 for 10 by then I don't forsee 660 being a problem HAHA. I'm already driving to georgia for a strongman/grip invitational the 20th of june! The best of the best in the grip-strongman community will be there..it would be no different to me than being able to hold my own and compete in an event like "kings of the bench" or the raw unity meet.
