i've said many times before that i struggle with the kitchen broomstick with an empty can of tomato soup on each side but why make fun of me?

[Big Mark C]

 

Jason how the hell do you get used to the tight belt on deadlifts? every time i try to pull with a belt the damn thing gets in the way, i can't breathe correctly and it doesn't allow me to squat down deep enough at the start.

quacker lied about squating 500 pounds for reps    he got caught on bullshit lies like he calls other people out

i've never worn a belt on deadlifts genius, a lot of people find belts uncomfortable on deadlifts but i thought i'd give it a try to see if i felt better pulling with one.

Never gonna see them.

Saturday - Upper Body

Axle Clean and Press (trying continental, double overhand axle cleans, and switch grip to clean grip in mid air, etc..)
A ton of reps with the 110lb axle just to get comfortable with grips.
10x3x200
5x2x244
5x1x266
2x1x288 PR!!!

Viking Press
Worked up to 310lbs for a couple reps


Today was more about getting a solid axle clean technique than anything else. I think I have the continental clean down now. It was a great moment for me, possibly could have got more, but just after completing it I looked over to see Brian clean and press 374lbs! It was the fastest freakin press I have seen.

Went out and got a piece of PVC to use as a roller because its painfully apparent that my flexibility is rapidly declining. I suspect a my IT bands are very tight as I have almost all the symptoms and rarely stretch that area. Im going to roll and stretch a ton tonight and see if it makes a difference tomorrow.

Thanks, Rip! You're starting off strong too I see. Glad your numbers didnt suffer all too much through dieting.

Sunday - Lower Body Events

Farmers pick&hold
2x1x235/hand
2x1x285
3x1x330 decided to walk with it the last time=25' PR!!!

Yoke
1x50'x400
1x50'x500
1x50'x600
2x50'x700
1x30'x800 PR!!!

Stones to 48"-60"
1x3x225
1x3x260
1x2x310 felt too easy today
1x1x370@48" PR!!!

It felt like today was going to suck but I turned it around bigtime! I think if I wasnt doing all those pick and holds, I would have gotten farther with the farmers. They were "suitcases" not cylinders so you have to be very stable...I wasnt and they beat the hell outta my knees. The Yoke is just a matter of getting the right rythm going because it starts to sway and I have to stop and restabilize for a moment. The stone was too easy but I strained my hamstring doing it.

Oh yeah, that pvc rolling and stretching worked wonders! Did some before lifting, felt great.

[burn2live]

Man you are a phucking animal. lol. I know what you mean about those days where you think you're going to have a bad day in the gym, but it ends up great. I always try and think about that whenever I don't feel like training.

What age are you if you don't mind me asking?

[Stubborn]

Im 25. Been into PL/Strongman for a couple years now. I've never trained Strongman on a weekly basis before though. Its rough but it definitely pays off.

[Stubborn]

I feel okay now, thanks rip. Just throws a serious kink in the works. You know where Im coming from.

Probably best for the rest of us that something slowed you down

UGH I know exactly where you are coming from.  But if you get the rest that you need and make a full recovery, you should be able to bounce back and perhaps make some gains pretty quickly!

I am not here to make other people feel better about themselves. Im here for the ladies.....seen any

You should be a motivational speaker, rip!

[Hedgehog]

Very impressive start to the new year, except for that cold.
Get hypercaloric and you should be fine .

Thanks Hedge! Fairly certain it wasnt a cold or maybe it was a cold PLUS intestinal fun?! Either way, getting back to eating today.

[Stubborn]

Today....I ate.
 
Wednesday - Low Body Speed

Box Squat at or slightly above parallel
warmed up on some power squat machine
1x10x135
1x5x225
1x5x315 very fast
1x3x405 pretty fast still
1x2x495 speed fell considerably. backed off.
8x2x405

Cable Pull Throughs
1x10xstack - too light

Cleans
1x10x135 practicing form(s)
1x8x225 felt fast but still akward compared to how I think it should feel
2x1x245 eh whatever

SLDL's
1x10x135
1x6x315
1x10x315
1x8x405

I feel okay about tonight. Not bad, not great. Still a little out of it cause I wanted to vomit after the SLDL's. I need to aim for 8-10 reps on some things and even challenge myself to a 20 rep set from time to time just to keep my conditioning up. My next comp will be less about power and more about conditioning/speed.

[Stubborn]

This weekend was busy and training was unorganized at best. Still did some stuff but nothing worth writing.

Tuesday - Upper Body Speed

Incline Bench
1x15x95
1x10x135 did some rotator work here
1x8x185 plus two sets front raises with 25x10 and side raises with 25x10
1x3x225
1x3x275
7x3x205 plus red bands

Seated DB Shoulder Press
3x10x70's did the first 15 reps with palms forward and last 15 with palms facing (to replicate log pressing)

Pulldowns
1x10x255
1x8x300 strict, upright form

One arm Pushdowns
2x8x120 ea arm

Cable Pushdowns w/ flatbar
2x10xstack
1x5xstack reverse grip

JM Presses
1x5x225 didnt feel right
1x12x135 still not great

Shoulder felt very good after the light side and front laterals. The rotator work helps a little but not as much as the raises. The JM's felt strange. I watched a video with the guy who came up with the movement and the way he intended them to be done is very uncomfortable. Maybe it will just take some getting used to but it kills the elbows. When I do the same movement overhead though, its not as bad.

[Stubborn]

RRRGGGGAAAAHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Another fucking injury!!!???!?!!!

I popped my hamstring.

Im pissed.

Simple 405lb box squat did me in.

I even stretched and rolled before squatting.

Im eating fairly well and getting some sleep so WTF?

No bruising or anything yet but I cant walk up stairs at the moment.

.....

[ripitupbaby]

OH NO!   

Lift....that sucks.
