Did some light leg work to stretch and strengthen my knees a little. I think its because I neglected to take my joint formula for a couple days. I have the knees of an old woman, I swear.

Thursday - Cardio

30 mins HIIT Elliptical

[Stubborn]

Everything was off tonight. I felt loose and aloof. Just wasnt there mentally I guess. Heres what I did wrong:

-Bad form, wasn't pushing my head and chest up or driving through the hips
-raised the weights too fast (90lb increments after 405 instead of the 50-70 I usually do)
-Didnt rest enough between sets
-didnt foam roll and do abs the day before
-ate like a girl all day

I just wasnt into it for some reason. Next week was supposed to be an off week for DL but I will use Wednesday as my Coan Program Week 8 day.

On the plus side, I am down about 20lbs total now. This means I am more than halfway to my goal. Though, my goal may change because I am liking what I am seeing as I get leaner. Original goal was 265-270lbs, but I may go to 250?

[Stubborn]

Thought I should keep it short and sweet tonight. Not much sleep lately (school and work). Felt very solid and refreshed though! Will do some 5x5 next week I think? Then the third week will be a near max day. Not too concerned as long as my strength stays where it is. Hoping to be 270-275lbs by the end of September with no strength loss.

Well well well....someone thinks they are all special and stuff, getting their training log stickied!

It must be a glitch. I dont even have any of the requisite oily thong pics in here to be considered for such an "honor".


Guess I better ante up?

Ah....eh....fuck. I just dont have it in me lately. Every time my schedule gets crazy I just have nothing in the gym. A few weeks ago I yanked 545 for a couple of the fastest and easiest reps ever (could have got 6 or more), today it was a grind. Its gotta be the lack of sleep. In the last 5 days I have slept ~4hrs a night. I guess thats just going to happen while in school and working and all?

I am going to have to rework my schedule this week because I just dont get much time to workout or SLEEP during the week. Maybe Friday, Sunday, Tuesday. I will start that schedule this week and see how it works. Going to need to take a week off from any low back intensive exercise.

[splinterhands]

I assumed you were older than you are.  You're going to be a beast if you stay at it AND stay somewhat injury free.

I'm here, just a bit out of it.


Im down 20lbs or so. Looking for another 20-30 in the next 3 months.

[Stubborn]

Today was a sure sign that it is time to start the Coan program over again! EVERYTHING felt heavy. I think I have messed it up due to schedule and diet. My schedule is full but Im sitting almost all the time. This has led me to the conclusion that my 'core' muscles are very deactivated. I was shaky and could not fire my muscles properly. My back is weak and loose from letting my posture go during class/study/driving. My diet has been clean but 2000 cals at best most days. Need to get back on schedule.

Friday - Core work

Weighted step ups (onto 2 plates)
2x20x405
1x20x495

Standing Cable Crunch
2x10x150

Back Ext Machine
3x12xstack

Ball Crunches
2x10

Did some DL's too but once I got to 475 I knew it was over. Good for more weight, just not the weight I needed (585x2).

Starting the Coan program over again next week. Going with a goal of 615 this time. I'd be okay with that, all things considered.

[Stubborn]

Sunday - Shoulders

Military Press
2x10x135
1x8x185
1x6x225

Push Press
2x10x225

Cable Side Laterals

Rear Delt Flyes

Leg Ext's
2x12xstack

DB Farmers
1x160'x115's for the hell of it

HG200 Gripper
2x10/hand

My shoulders feel very solid lately. I attribute this to the increase in DB work.

Side Note: If I make it through the next 3 weeks on schedule, it will be a miracle!

[thewickedtruth]

nice gripper work lol.. gotta get rid of those bitch hands asap buddy!!!

how many injuries you working on atm? you doing any strongman shit anytime soon?

I dont use the grippers much but it felt like a good time. Didnt wanna do the 250 though.

I'm healed up pretty well but my knees are never going to be any better. I can walk and do fairly heavy squats (up to mid 500) though. So Im good. Just trying to stay able bodied for now. No strongman for a while, not until the knees get better.

You have any clients or acquaintances that have used ultrasound therapy for their joints?

[Stubborn]

Here is my new DL schedule. Just changed the Coan program a bit. Since my accessory work is fairly heavy to get down to 8 reps, I have changed them to 2 sets.

Do you know of any good videos for arched back goodmorning technique? Let us know how you get on with this routine. Looks promising!

Do you know of any good videos for arched back goodmorning technique? Let us know how you get on with this routine. Looks promising!

Heres an ok example. I tend to go much lower though, which changes the movement a bit. I should try to keep the ROM shorter and see if it helps.
