Atanocc CubeKingpin Log

[atanocc]

Wanted to try something different. Been doing 531 for a while and been looking for a change of pace. Amrap with sub-maximal weights every time puts a toll on me and recovery hasn't been at its best due to newborn and school. So hopefully this change in pace would be more beneficial for me.

Goals
Get my squats stronger. My squats is not my strong suit. Hips aren't at it's best but getting better with the new investment of squat shoes. Also, obviously get all my numbers up. Will be putting more vids of squats to figure out what I'm doing wrong or what I need to work on. I would want to compete in a meet once I can get my squat down and stronger than it is now.

Stats
5'8 205-210 lbs 25 y.o.
Have a busy schedule like everyone else in here, juggling work/school/family/training.
Been training for about 4 years now. Started off training like a bodybuilder. Now, Ive made the switch to powerlifting. Not too big with supplements except for protein, pwo, and creatine. Currently just using pwo.

I'm here to learn and get feedback from my fellow am members. Any advise or critique on form is welcome.

Bench (reps)
-pwo gameday. Took a while for me to get warmed up. Woke up and went to the gym and had to rush everything

225 x 3 x 10 reps
245 x 2 x 6. CG
205 x 2 x 10 1" pause off chest(first time doing these and it sucked. Had to drop the pauses towards the end to get in more reps.)

Chin ups amrap
(2 x 9,10) arms were fatigued by then.

-cut it short today 45 min. Had to rush everything in so rest periods were short and I was sweating up a storm.

Post meal
Mcdonalds double quarter . Lol wife and sister told me to get some on the way home so I just got some for me too

And yes I eat rice with my burgers! So what.

I almost did. The smallest can was almost 600 calories. I'm not able to portion that out right now because I'm so hungry.

It's really not that expensive here. $3-4 for a large can.

-another long day. Satisfied with today's session though. Energy was lackluster but form felt on point with bench. Could of used more leg drive but no pain, felt strong and quick . Figured out what I was doing wrong when I would feel the pain. I would let the bar drift too far forward away from me pushing in a weird angle and put stress on my shoulders. Corrected it today and felt smoother. Tucked shoulders a tad and flared em on the way up. Less bodybuilder style as I use to do em.

 

[aceroni]

Only thing I'd change is stop doing upright rows start doing snatch grip high pulls. Much better movement and less stressful on the joints.

As far as the benching I have the same issue where it's hard to have leg drive and keep my hips down at the same time.

I need to work on flaring on the way up too. i've been perma tucked since I had a minor pec tear.

Yea I do em kind of like a high pull with less of a wide (snatch) grip and without a lot of body English with going to my toes. But I know where ur coming from. Definitely will try it next time

Man that's a lot of work there good job

Thanks man. Had a lot of energy today. Took a good few days off so it felt good. Might go easy tomorrow to further enhance my recovery on body day. Might even take a day off as well

 

[atanocc]

Ditto. That's a good work load.

Thanks man. Like I said above, I had it today so might as well put in that work.

Thanks guys. Yea just started to do Airsoft since all my coworkers started fcking around with it at work. But yea energy been ok, just been keeping the frequency in training more spread out compared to how I use to train few days straight. But I like doing high incline mainly for delts actually. My front delts lack and ever since I've been hitting it harder I've gotten less pain on my bench press

Just did squats today, I'll post it up in a bit

 

[atanocc]

Squats explosive
-rotation 1 week 3

235 x 8 sets x 3

[atanocc]

Heavy bench / deads reps
-paused reps
260 x 2
265 x 2, 3, 3
-started to feel lighter every set. Took me a while to get warmed up

-close grip (paused)
275 x 3 x 4

Oly squats

-bad idea to do deads today. Felt like 400 lbs, probably due to work since I've been putting more hours in which involves heavy lifting.

-bench felt amazing tho. 275 close grip flew up, lot of torque with close grip, either that or I just got good blood flow in my tris and bis by that time.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Strong bench and CG numbers! Time for Swolefies!

 

[capo180]

strong work man! you hit 225 on over heads yet? how you liking the cube so far?
