A BEASTS training log.

[superbeast668]

Leggy leg day.

1 leg lying leg curls 3x15

Heavy squat just above parallel 3x6- last set was 3 wheels, not my best but I've only really squatted two or three times since I've been lifting consistently

Leg press 3x 8 with that brutal 3 sec neg. 5 and a half doughnuts per side

Lunges 2x10

SLDL 2x15

Toe raises 3x15

Seated calves 3x15

Nasty calf cramps in my left leg. I gutted this workout. Absolutely brutalized me. Meadows said leave nothing in the tank. I tried to leave nothing.

Eff man sounds like you ran it empty!

I had to make my girl smash the knots out of my calves. They were so bad I couldn't straighten my leg. Her hands aren't strong enough. I made her roll then with the dogs kong ball with as much of her weight she could get on it. 15 minutes and a few tears later I can move a little.

Looks like someone needs a lacrosse ball for Christmas

Lifting Large is having a Black Friday sale, just sayin'.

Never heard of it...

Just looked... Fat gripz and some knee and elbow sleeves here I come!

[Hyde]

They're a Titan retailer, & sell a lot of powerlifting/strongman gear, as well as other lifting apparel, chalk, sticky grip-aid for no-chalk gyms, rehab accessories. Awesome prices on most of it. Also cool if you wanted to pick up a prowler or power rack for the garage.

[Hyde]

Titan Knee Sleeves have been the best thing I've ever bought besides my suede Longhorn Leverbelt from them as well.

I was planning on titans for sure. I might get some chalk or sticky along with fat grips and start shying away from straps since my grip is struggling lately.

I've never comfortably lifted with a belt though. Early in my lifting "career" my trainer (an o tackle for buffalos training squad years ago) told us to rely on our core muscles not a belt so I guess I got used to it and now it feels totally foreign.

It should be, sort of. I only use my belt for very heavy sets - 5 rep max is the lightest weight I'll consider with a belt, exactly for that reason. But about that weight the odds of something going wrong & serious injury occurring really start to ramp up, so I make my core work during all of the warmup & lighter sets & then slap it on if I do some really heavy shiz. But since I often have Max Effort days or during the 2nd or 3rd wk of 5/3/1 there will be a set where I'll use it. So I use every few days usually, but usually for only 1 or 2 sets in the whole workout.

Done this way, the core continues to build in strength/size but when it comes time to lay it all on the table you've got another 30lbs on your squat, easy (if you understand the Valsalva maneuver). Just don't be the chut at the gym who does his entire arm routine with a Gasp belt on because it gives his waist a sweet V-taper.

Valsalva? Is it something easily explained or do I need google?

[PalmFist]

It sounds familiar…

What up Beast!

[Hyde]

Take a deep breath into your belly & hold your breath - the air being halted at your sealed lips creates an expansion all through your core. Done while wearing a circular weightbelt, the entire core has something to brace against on all sides. Your eyes might also feel some pressure as you turn red

A lot of people breath into their chest when trying to do this, but just like singers, you want to move the diaphragm down low. Think about breathing into your belly instead of your chest. It should expand, & you should feel 360* reinforcement with a belt on tight.

[PalmFist]

Turns out its just equalizing the pressure of the ear and nasal systems

Edit. Turns out I didn't read what the original post was in reference to breathing in the belly

Ok. So it's basically the way is normally go. I always get that nice deep breath that expands my entire stomach and sternum for that matter. Just with out the belt. Maybe I'll pick one up for farts and smiles. Guess it'll depend on finances

[PalmFist]

A belt really helps show you how to push the air down low. You'll know right away if you're doing it right. Pick one up, just don't waste money on anything over a bill if you don't plan on competing

You can get my exact belt for 85 shipped from them any day of the week, & it's the greatest investment I've ever made. Life-time warranty on belt, levers usually last at least 5 years or more (and can order new ones for 15 bux), & it blows stuff like a soft little Harbinger out of the water. I'll never need another unless I get pathetically fat, at which point in time I need to be doing cardio, not heavy lifting. You get what you pay for.

Keep in mind the Valsalva Effect is never a good thing especially when lifting. Holding your breath will cause it, basically as a survival reflex the valves leading to your brain are clamped shut cutting off the blood supply to the brain due to excessive pressure that could cause an embolism. Sure there is also a valsalva maneuver to pop the ears but holding your breath under pressure like when lifting heavy is NEVER a good idea. Just ask this guy...

That's what I'm saying. I ordered as soon as I got the discount email. That's probably why/how it was so quick.

Yes

[superbeast668]

Yes

It doesn't compete for the same receptors like adex and nolva? I just wanna be sure.
