3/28/12-ME Bench
Workout:
GPP: Chins bwx10,10,6,6. not really gpp i guess but makes me better none the less
2 Board Press w/ comp grip
275x1
315x1
335x1, easy
355x0 just shy of lockout
345x1 PR, not bad. Really hammering my bench form in.
Dips w/ bands
Bw+doubled up monster mini and mini bandx8
Bw+2 doubled up mini bandsx8
Bw+1 doubled up mini bandx12 (it felt like the band weight was the same the whole way thru and they were just yanking me down, made my tris contract very hard)
Hang Cleans
175x3x3 (never do these, just working on the form, my partner does strong man so he wants to start to work on his clean more)
Banded Medicine Ball Pushdowns+Pullaparts
2 mini bands+140lbsx33/monster minix40
2 mini bands+170lbsx23/monster minix30
2 mini bands+190lbsx12/monster minix30
2 mini bands+140lbsx32
4 way neck machins
35lbs for 2 sets of 10, tweaked my neck last week taking it easy.
Notes: Overall great session and a big step up from where ive been the last few weeks. Idk how much 2 board presses will help me as it feels like I barly have to lower the bar. Next cycle is full bench so Im excited to see how things go. Ive hit PRs on my main 3 variations of bench, floor press was 245 now 275, Cambered bar was 245 for 1 and now its 270x2, and 2 board is now 345 for 1 where it was 335 before. Im excited anyways.

3/30/12-DE Squat/Deadlift
Workout:
DE Box Squat w/ Bands
185lbs bar weight+monster minisx8x2
Speed Sumo Pulls w/ Straight weight
250x10x1
Elevated GHRs
bwx10,10,10,10
Grappler
25x8
35x8,8
Notes: Got some good tips from an older and more experienced powerlifter. He was mentioning my squat/sumo pull form. He said I was ducking my feet out to much making me unbalanced and decreasing my leverages. He explained how it puts pressure on the back side of the joint and how wide I am im getting no quad in my lift. Mostly glutes/hips. He suggested I find my happy medium to where my hips,glutes,quad,and hams all work together on both lifts. This will prevent injuries and allow for my lbs lifted. It made sense, so ill be playing my squat/pull stance the next few sessions to really get a better groove.

4/2/12-ME Squat/Deadlift
Workout:
GPP: Walking with the prowler loaded with 50lbs. 3 200meter laps.
Sumo Pulls w/ Chains
225+90lbs chain weight at lockoutx1,1,1
275+90lbs chain weight at lockoutx1
315+90lbs chain weight at lockoutx1
365+90lbs chain weight at lockoutx1
405+90lbs chain weight at lockoutx1
455+90lbs chain weight at lockoutx0, missed it just below my knee, form didnt break everything looked good. It just was a long pull and I ran out of energy and had to dump it. Need to get faster. Not a bad day for only pulling sumo 10-15 times ever.

Beast pulls. Yeah man, lots of people wish they could do sumo stance. Pretty sure that wide of a stance gives you more leverage, and with a slightly shorter distance allows you to pull more. Problem is mobility for most. Plus, hell, Big Benny and the next 2 strongers pullers pull conventional so who really knows =p That's beside the point, though. Were the pulls with a suit? just curious

No those pulls were raw, not as strong as my conventional pull however. I get great leverage on conv pulls with a lot of myself behind the bar. Im still learning the sumo stance to help my conv pulls. If I suit up ill mention it. My PR with a single ply straps down sumo pull is 500x1.

Workout:
GPP: 500lb Tire flipping, 3 rounds of 5 flips. The sun here in florida is brutal.
Chins
Bwx8,8,7,8 Im working on my form on these, didnt realize I had issues haha
2 Board Press
275x1
315x1
345x1
355x0, wasnt in the cards today, Ive never been set up better for any press in my life either. 345 came right up, I worked keeping my wrists straight, wraps werent tight enough, and getting a better tuck. My weak point on my bench is no longer my back or core, its my delts/tris as I was stable and in control lowering the bar.
Dips
Bwx10
Bw+45x10
Bw+70x8
Bw+90x5
Bwx10, my strength on dips went down.

185x1, the last two just flew right out of my hands, my grip went.
165x3,3 hook gripped and these came easy
4 way neck machine
35lbsx2 sets of 15.
Notes: Rough session for sure. Learned my weak point on bench is tris/delts right now. My back is finally starting to get where it needs to be for bigger numbers. Ill be hitting the tate presses, extensions, dips, and oh presses hard for now. I already started but I cant let them slip again. The tire/hang cleans really got me. Sore already.

Anyone know which macro is the bodies prefered energy source? Carbs or fats? I kinda wanna lock my diet down a lil more then just a lot of food. Lately its about 250-275g pro/300-400g carbs/150-200g fats. I dont like carbs all the much and I force them down.

You bodys preferred source is carbs, although you can make it run on fats, if you eliminate ALL carbs ie ketogenic diet

Look into quinoa, tons of cals and carbs, easy to eat, and it contains ecdysteroids

If you don't like them, then there's no reason to eat that many of them.

4/9/12-ME Squat/Deadlift
Workout:
GPP: 20 tire flips with a 500lb tire
Conv Pulls w/ Chains
315+90lbs chain at the topx1
365+90lbs chain at the topx1
405+90lbs chain at the topx1
455+90lbs chain at the topx0, so it appears neither my conv or sumo are much better then the other. I hit a wall off the ground on this, no form break down just not enough speed to overcome the chain loading on. Ill continue to work on my sumo as ive been really liking it. Overall not to happy with these pulls today.
Reverse Hypers
270x10
270+2 mini bandsx10,12
Dead Stop Leg Press with feet as wide as possible and high as possible.
180x10
270x10
360x10, easy sets. Cut it here as this is the first quad work ive done in forever. Ive heard from several big lifters that doing dead stop leg presses in the same spot as ur pull helps you break the floor. Well i couldnt breakt he floor like I wanted with sumo or conv so im gonna add it for now.
Seated Medium Grip Cable Rows+Seated Rope Crunches
100x12/80x8
100x12/70x10
100x12/70x10
70x10
Notes: Good session, not happy with my pulls but I think I finally need to add quad work to help me break the floor better with pulls.

If you can, take less time during the set up. IDK if it was the camera skipping a frame, but watch your hips at :24. They're elevated and then "pop" down and you appear to be a tad behind the bar, but I can't tell because of the shirt.
I dont see what your talking about from my end. Pop down? I deff need to speed up my set up, I set up faster with sumo. The thing is when I use a hook grip I had to start by locking my hands in then position. Ill work on just setting up and hook grip then rip. Thanks for the tips.

355x1 PR. I fixed some tweaks in my bench set up, made it faster. I also tweaked where I put my feet and hands to get better leg drive and make it so I stopped dipping my wrists back. My partner said it looked like I was in a shirt bc I loaded slowly into my lats then blew the weight off the board with ease. I probably had anout 10-15lb in me but stopped here as it was a 10lb PR already.

Well it actually depends on more than that too. Every person is different in how our bodies burn energy. It depends on which metabolic type you are, and if you are a fast or slow oxidizer. To be as efficient as possible, you should base your diet around metabolic typing. Zir Red seems to know a lot about this.

Nice session. Is that squat bar the one that has that super nice gritting in the middle that you can practically set it on your back and it holds itself on? I love that thing. Wish the one at my gym didn't break :(

Awesome news, man. Way to stick through it all despite being sick. That's how it's done.

I probably asked you already (I'm also somewhat sleep deprived from last night, so my head is foggy), but do you have a meet coming up?

4/30/12-ME Squat/Deadlift
Workout:
GPP: Superset of Kettlebell swings with 35lbs and reverse hypers with 90lbs for 3 sets of 10 reps each
Squat
325+60lbs of chainx1
375+60lbs of chainx1
415+60lbs of chainx1
Notes: Im done right now, imma start my deload early this week and do the scheduled deload next week. Between school, work, and 2 full lifts im beat to hell. I still auto piloted some big weight today so I feel pretty good about that. Im gonna switch my ME lifts to a 2 week rotation from 3. Im starting to stall the third week and im usually pretty tired mentally and dread the lifts. I was ready for singles last week. Im still sticking to 4-5 basic lifts to rotate from to pin point what helps my main lifts. Also itll most likely be week one max double/triple, week two max single, rotate, repeat, deload/gear work ect. Since ill be competeing in gear soon things will change, my current set up is for raw. Basic lifts for those who are wonder are
ME Squat/Deadlift: Box Squat below parallel, Goodmornings, Deadlift w accomidating weight/deficite/high pulls, Free squat.
ME Bench: Floor Press, Cambered Bar Press, 2 or 1 Board Press, Full Bench, RE DBs.
So far those lifts have helped my squat greatly. Also my bench has improved in technique from the variations and de work.

On a side note I cant enter the anabolics section without getting annoyed. It amazes me the ppl who run ph/ds/aas anymore.

Lol. The section should have a warning sign: "Beware of the daily dbol only cycle threads, To or Not To PCT after SDrol threads, and miscellaneous threads like these".

There's maybe a 1:20 ratio of PH/DS:AAS posts these days. That's not to say that there aren't some good OTC hormones, but these 3-4 compound oral stacks are just ridiculous.

Sheesh! The more is better attitude. I was more refering to the ppl that by no means need to cycle. Theres a guy running like sd, hdrol, and 5ohp or whatever. His second run of sd and hes 5'9 at 160. I weighed that much my sophmore year in high school. I feel bad for these ppl.

Oh yes there are some great compounds. Im 21 so I have no plans on running anything until im peaking in my performance which is a long long ways off. I still find the science interesting.
