Kabuki's "VIDEO" Log - a little crazy fun for everyone

crappiest workout in awhile. first i need to man up and say that i'm not as tough as i think i am or would like to be....yet. And my training program the last 3 weeks was to aggressive. i went from squating over 700 very rarely to doing it every single week. I definetly need this week to recover

i've got a minor strain on lower left side of back and my hips are FRIED still. My back is feeling much better today and the pain is minimal.

No carb up before training today and was 1hour late due to an extended errand.


Zercher Squats - feet 6" apart
55x10x10
155x10x10
wasn't feelin good.

BB style squats - no belt, wraps, and feet 6" apart
155x10x10
245x10
335x10x10x10
would have worn belt due to back but with close stance my legs into my stomach left no room for thick lever belt.

Hamstring Curls - on stability ball
#3 band x12x12x12x12

Pull Thrus
#4 band x15x15x15

and that little bit of work took me almost a full hour....damn i brought the suck once again:aby:
 
folks in law in law visiting but they understand we will be at the house makin serious noise with the weights.

i think i said the word 'thinking about dieting' a couple posts back...since doing so my weight started shooting up. 250.0 when training today....i was 242 even in August.

Little bit of life log here. It’s been a super stressful week at work. I met with attorney’s several times and had to give a video deposition as the prime witness in a lawsuit against our company (3 hours getting grilled today). Then got back to work to be part of a film being produced by our parent company, and deal with other issues. Missed shipments to the Military and other government bodies this week making everyone very unhappy. Production plan this week got bumped to levels beyond completion as I already have my team working 6-7 days a week. A $60,000 part on one of key pieces of equipment failed this week and we are waiting on a replacement and working on subcontracting what we can locally to stay running or its more missed shipments. Had to give a presentation to all the leadership in the company yesterday including the senior leadership team. Finished with filming for movie then finished up schedule for weekend production. Then met with VP or manufacturing to discuss plan of attack with down equipment and orders…. then on to meet with VP of HR and VP of Mfg to discuss where were at with lawsuit. Then finally off to train after that.

Been a rough week. I’ll swing in to work 2morrow morning to make sure things are going well and the guys got some food then off the try an pull of the deadline I have going on the house….starting to rain and schedule is getting tight.
 
Slight Changes in next few weeks.

Going to put less focus on ME work and burn through it quickly. Might even jump back to 5 rep max’s. Will spend more time and effort on supplemental work for time being.

How you focus on a certain lift on a certain week. I usually just follow a Westside template.

Always like seeing something different.


Dang impressive on the deads man.
Click to expand...

i have my ways. sometimes i do the same lift over 3 weeks as a wave. But when training heavier i change it every week for 3 weeks then repeat.

thanks for comments on deads...however i did 600x4x4x4 last time (sometime this spring):sick: but i didn't do back work the night before however.
 
Great job pullin' and nice video. It looks like you have quite the setup at your place (at least I assume it's your place).

thanks guys.
 
Went to see chiro today. My clavicle has been slipping out of place a bit and I think affecting my bench so i went in to get some work done. This is from the injury I sustained this spring when I Separated it from my chest. It’s a weird feeling when its out of location a little bit....just a weak unconfident feel when i go to bench.

Anyway did a little work to it. Not completely reseated yet. Says I have some scar tissue around the area…particularly in my chest which is pulling on it.

Also looks like my lymph nodes in my right tricep are swollen following the deep tissue massage. Guessing from the amount of toxins relased from breaking up those knots. I was wondering why all of a sudden I had this big ball under my skin on my tricep.

sounds like you're "Johnny Adhesions", but it looks like you're getting the right help.
Click to expand...

yep...but i don't really have time in my schedule right now to be getting out to get my adhesions adressed.

Don't know why i have so many....maybe the years of neglect and the Kabuki style abuse. i've only been trying to stay on top of this stuff the last 1-2 years.

Little bumps in weights, sets, and/or reps on everything tonight. Solid workout. Only bad thing was when doing my back work I could feel it pulling at my clavical. I think this is how its started to pull away again…with the adhesions in the chest its just to tight.

Cat was training with us all night….couldn’t help myself.

to answer the question SS.. yes PM a mod its what worked for me
 
Part of my current program layout is based on the meeting the needs of two of the people I train on a specific day of the week. It is just not working for me as it is negatively affecting my Deadlift training. It stops today and they will have to suffer not me.

BW upon waking 244.2 and 251 @ training

Deadlift
135x6x6
235x3x3
325x1x1
415x1x1

595x1 and so damn slow and heavy it was insane…it was slower than my raw 660 PR pull.
665x0 just didn’t pull it to lock dropped it when I got out of position
the metal king deadlifter was just to tight…I’ve put on 10lbs this last month

Sumo Deadlift
415x1
505x1 felt like I could only hit a couple reps and I’ve done it for 17 before!!!!
595x0 didn’t feel right so I dropped it before pulling to lock

Pull thru’s

Wide Grip Shrugs w/ 1.5” fat trapbar

certainly not uploading any of tonights vids.

what a **** workout. Switching around thurs and fri’ workouts starting next week to a trie and true method.
 
EFS? really? Nice.

Why is "video" in quotations? They really are videos.. it's not like you filmed it with a 16mm Camera. :D

Bukka, I jacked my right arm up wrestling a guy at work and it's been out of commision for a week.

This last week off has been probably the most beneficial in my training career though. There is a truth to the "back off and grow" ideology, I'm just realizing it more than ever lately. Just mentioning it because I have a few adhesions in my forearm/brach that I need to get worked on.
 
that's why i'm doing a deload week every 4th week now....just not backing off as much as i should be during that time.

as for the quotes...i don't know.

Everything felt so heavy on my back up till the 675 when all of a sudden it finally didn’t feel like it was going to crush me. My belt was out one notch to far last night and a little loose. Never got around to adjusting it. Also loose wraps that last set.

Hey, I think I saw a Bodybuilding.com shirt in that video. Are you cheating on us?:nono: :D

Are the pause squats for explosiveness at the bottom?

Insane numbers!

Click to expand...

Yes. They really break up the concentric and eccentric phases of the lift and help with explosiveness. Supposed to also help Deadlift as your taking out the stretch reflex that you do not have when pulling. For the later reason I need to be doing more of these lately…my pull sucks right now.

I usually don’t go very heavy on these. 3 wheels works fine. 3 sets of 5 reps with a full 3 count (preferably someone else or the count goes to quick) at the bottom.

Thanks for the compliment!

as for the shirt...i'm a free workout shirt junkie. Most of the BB.com shirts are now shop shirts but i've still got a hoard from when i used to order from them all the time.
 
I liked how ur friend had a hard time lifting the bar up and then u pressed it with ease 2x.

How long have u been training? Have u always done powerlifting?

floor press vid?

Trained occasionaly in HS...but mostly sports. Occasionaly in College...but mostly drank.

Started training seriously at the end of 2000 and probably started powerlifting within a year of that time. Although i still trained like a BBer the first few years i competed.

i got into PL because there were a couple competive BBers in my gym and they were so much bigger than me...but i could walk all over them in regards to strenght...so i figured if i was going to compete i better head the route of strength sports as it seemed to be by how i am made.
 
had to do the plumbing on house this weekend. i mention it in my log because it involved spending a day climbing it attic and basement crawlspaces and closets using a chemical that causes (among other things) CNS depressant if you breath the fumes. and there was no getting around that with some of the places i had to work in.

We will see tommorrow how much of an effect it had.
 
Thanks GIP. that was a BIG box squat PR for me. Hell...i can't still half believe some of the weights i've been squating with lately. Coming up on 3 years since i started to train for a competitve squat (450-500 at that time).

No heavy weights handled today so i went for some volume. besides my note above i also i did not eat properly this weekend. tried a big dinner w/desert last night and heavy eating today but was still down 3lbs at training.

HaHa. i forgot about that one.

i built a Glute Ham Raise stand and purchased a Pad from the company that makes them for Elite FTS...but no time to assemble it all now. :(
 
My arms are getting to be in real bad shape. going to have to do something drastic aly different to reverse this. i don't have the time to deal with this but i've got to figure it out.

855 is insane. Is that a PR? I'm just going to stop posting my numbers on powerlifts because now I'm embarrassed.

If you do strongman, I can only imagine how good you'd at the yoke carry.
