You're at it early today.

 

[jimbuick]

Late actually, I was just getting home from work so I updated from that days earlier workout.

 

[jimbuick]

Not dead.

Been lifting still, just been lazy updating on here.

Missed the last Friday workout (spent the whole weekend working on one of my cars, accomplished nothing.)

Been pretty bad about doing the cardio, because it sucks. Planning to add rear delt work on Wednesday with the bag work to get the extra volume in.

Benched today:

Bench: 205 x 3
Bench: 170 x 6 x 3
Inc. Bench: 145 x 5 x 3
Pendlay Row: 185 x 5 x 4
Lat Pulldown: 100 x 10 x 3

Added volume this wave, focusing on Pecs with assistance instead of triceps.

 

[RegisterJr]

Cardio does suck...

 

[RegisterJr]

How goes things?

 

[jimbuick]

Pretty well I guess. Been training, just been lazy about posting.

Training has been tweaked a little to stave off boredom. Moved to a more traditional conjugate, keeping a lot of the same principles I was employing with the "hybrid" training just lowering the specificity a little with how far out I am from any competition.

A few highlights:
Worked to 345 x 1 DL on the TPB (hook grip)
225 x 2 CGBP
295 x 3 "comp" squat

Will update again after today's workout.


Also, added a little life to the shed today:

Now off to work. Planning to knock the core work out tomorrow with bag work. Planned on doing some more quad work (lunges) after the volume sets, but didn't have time today. Oh well, the squats sucked enough by themselves lol.

 

[rob112]

I'm not about that high bar life son lol

 

[jimbuick]

Me either, it isn't comfortable on my traps and its just hard to do.

 

[RegisterJr]

Love the way high bar feels on my traps, but not the way I squat with it.

 

[justanotherj]

I didn't ever really like it until I got oly shoes and started Olympic lifting. Once I started front squatting ATG, it started to feel more natural doing the high bar for back squats.

 

[liftandswim]

Yeah, high bar feels more natural for me too. It's weaker though so I relegate it to the land of assistance

Yeah, I use oly shoes for the low bar squats. Front squats are a different story, always felt comfortable with front squats.

Hi bar is lame.

 

[jimbuick]

[jimbuick]

Slept most of the day away before this too, ate at Golden Corral after.

Planning to deload next week, just doing bodybuilding type work with actual bodypart split. Got a long work week this coming week, so I know that's going to beat me up enough as it is.

 

[jimbuick]

Bleh, haven't been able to squeeze a workout in at all this week.

Got home at 0400 last night, slept till 1500 and by then it was time to go to work.

Expecting all week to be like this; I need this week to be over already....

 

[RegisterJr]

Screw those late shifts.

 

[RegisterJr]

Or club nights. Whichever it is.

 

[rob112]

Yea if a job is gonna have you work using military time it will probably be rough. They try to trick ya!

Yeah, I've been working nights for the better part of the year now and usually it's OK (I commute so there is less traffic for this shift).

But the other guy that I rotate with weekly that has to stay late crashed his pallet jack so he can't operate the machinery for another few days, so its just a lot of extra work for me at the moment.

Finally got a workout in today, and it was brutal.

Deload chest+back

a1. DB Bench: 82 x 8 x 2
a2. Seated Cable Row: 120 x 8 x 2

b1. Incline DB Bench: 52 x 12 x 2
b2. Pull-Up: BW x 12 x 2

c1. TRX Pushup: BW x 11
c2. TRX Supine Row: BW x 12

Brutal. Whole thing took about 35 minutes. Was pretty damn worn out going into it, and at the end could hardly hold myself in the front leaning rest on the TRX.

Legs tomorrow (hopefully) and then Shoulders and Arms before inventory (12 hour shift on a Friday? Fuarkkk) Friday.....

 

[jimbuick]

Deload squat:

High Bar: 185 x 8 x 2
Hypers: BW x 12 x 2

All I had time for today, wanted to get lunges done too but had to leave for work.

 

[rob112]

We both deloaded. It's like I was looking at my partially loaded barbell and at that very same moment you were looking at your partially loaded barbell and we were together.

That's totally all me and nothing like the Joe Dirt quote at all man. Lol

 

[jimbuick]

Seated BB OHP: 95 x 8, 115 x 8

If I'm being honest, I don't recognize that quote at all.

 

[jimbuick]

Bench today:

CGBP: 165 x 8 x 2
Incline DB Bench: 52 x 12, 62 x 12, 62 x 9

Note: bench felt heavy. Push ups were done with no rest during the set, just keep pumping them out until you fall down.

 

[jimbuick]

Deadlift: work to 275 x 4

Then leave for work. Planning to start doing two training sessions on most days because of time constraints. Will be doing all of my assistance work tonight after I get home.

Was hoping to get 315 x 4 but had some discomfort in the back with 275 so decided not to push my luck.
