AI's Super Swole Stack...GoHard's Quest for Strength Absolute

Nice work are those standing or seated BB shoulder press? Just curious, 185 is a big number on either of those anyway, at least for me. I don't ever do seated press so I have no clue how much I could lift seated.

Standing. Seated my numbers go way up on both. Seated i can hit between 225-315 on BB(from top of head) and 80-105 on dumbells when seated
 
So I seem to have gotten a bit sick, seems to be a chest cold... passed out yesterday around 7 or 8 oclock and woke up feeling a lot better. Skipped my lift yesterday and skipping today. Hopefully with another night of sleep ill be good to lift on wednesday.

Since wednesday or thurdays i feel like i havent stopped. As a matter of fact...since my final on tuesday i really havent had much of a break and from before that it was pretty dang hectic. Must be that time of the year lol.

Just slow it down a bit and make sure you catch your breath between sets. Working out actually clears me up a bit when I have a cold, but you can't keep the same pace as normal which is a bit annoying...:sick:

I can get light workouts in when im sick...but my strength is zapped to heck so powerlifting is out of the question.

Also b/c of previous medical history...i tend to not workout at all when i get sick. Its a preventive measure i take seeing that I once became gravely ill b/c i was sick and worked out anyway. I DOUBT it had anything to do with the workout...but after that the doctors told it's best to rest completely then to push myself. Missing a few days wont hurt...even though mentally it kills. Sometimes its better to be safe then sorry.

For me it depends what it is, I don't workout if I have any flu type symptoms but colds are going to stick with you for a while for the most part so it's not really an option.

I think i agree with you on this one. It depends on the severity of the sickness. Right now its more of a full body weakness along with really ugly cough and painful cough that seems to be coming from the lungs(has me worried since i was cold and wet for a majority of the weekend) Shortness of breath with headaches...but no fever. I may have had a slight fever this morning(felt a little warm) but then i took a hot shower which raised my body temperature and then i began to sweat like crazy(almost as if i was sweating out a fever).

Being that this is a first for me....none of the normal sickness symptoms...im gonna allow myself to heal quickly. I really feel with 1 more night of intense rest i can be back to 100% by wednesday or thursday.

Get well soon big man.:)
 
I was told by a doctor who was also a fitness enthusiast that one should feel free to work out and push it as long as the cold is in their head. However he said as soon as it gets into the chest workouts should be stopped to allow for recovery. Once the lungs get involved it really ups the anti on the system and needs the rest for the recovery.

yah if it gets into the chest then I always get bronchitis which will last for months so I pretty much have to train through. It's hard for me to tell where the cold stops and where the bronchitis kicks in unless it's one of those flu symptom type colds and then I won't train. If my joints are aching and muscles than yah there's no way.
 
I haven't even felt well enough to do low impact cardio in a week. well other than some video game time with the xbox + kinect

awesome.. how is that kinect? I want to get one when I get some extra cash but kinda waiting for some better games to come out for it. Is it as dope as it looks?

its pretty cool, works well for teen to adult sized people, a bit less than perfect for small kids. a lot of fun and forces you to be active :)
 
Z-Packs are the BOMB! Nothing like dropping a 2 ton bomb on an outhouse to get that crap out of there... I have NEVER had anything that a Z pack couldn't kill. I feel better just holding the prescription...
 
I have been looking at that Sony Move for the PS3, it does the same thing as the Kinect with the digital camera, but also has a hand control you can use for more complicated games. Both are pretty cool, now what is Nintendo going to come out with to try and trump that?
 
AND IM BACK!

Sorry for the break in the log guys. I am back from not feeling to great and it's time to keep moing foward.

Considering having gotten sick and suspending my training for a good week...i decided to stop the stack and hit up my transition period a little early. I'll rest from the stack for about 4-5 weeks then I will get right back on the with maybe a few more goodies to help amplify the effectiveness of the stack.

Now I will be running a powerlifting/bodyweight style routine which isnt as taxing since i will hit my main lifts and then a bodyweight exercises along with some sprints. Goal is to increase strength, athleticism, and decrease fat.

Right now postworkout i dont have any whey so im using my recoverpro with some eggs till i can order more. I will still be using Cycle Support 2.0.


More details to come!

Nothing wrong with some bodyweight movements. I am guessing lots of chinups, dips, lunges, push ups? Ever see a pistol quat done? I cant personally perform one but if you can you should try them out. They are soupposed to be awesome.. Pavel swears by them as do many other russian lifters

Anyway glad to hear your feeling better! Keep up the good work bro!
 
Sounds like you are planning for a performance based month with great muscular recovery. Sounds great.
 
Very Nice Andres I am certain you will get your goals. Youve got the drive and energy to accomplish your weight lifting goals , school goals and your personal goals we dont even know about...cheers

Chinups, pulls ups, dips and weighted dips, lunges, Glute Ham Raises, one legged squats, and maybe some handstand pushups.

Sprints will be included. Never done a piston squat....but i will look them up to see if I can add some extra fun to the routine.

And I will use some dumbells occasionally to hit any little muscle here and there i feel needs some more attention.

The beast is back!!!
 
Surgery 1-12-2011 for me then it is on regarding adding some growth.
 
Update on workouts:

Shoulders:

Standing military press 3x5

135x5
155x5
175x7

Assistance:

Dips:
25 unweighted
55 reps +50lbs
10 reps unweighted
10 reps unweighted

100 total

Chin ups:
10 x 5 sets

50 total


Deadlift day:
315x5
365x5
415x6
415x2 very slow very strict...low on power all raw strength

Assistance:
Bent Over Row:
185x10
185x10
185x10

Glute ham Raises....I have found my weak spot!!!
5
10
10

Couldnt really do these very strict on the way up being that i had to cheat a bit to get back up to vertical. It was a great workout but I def need to get stronger on these....but i have to start somewhere

Sprints for 1/2 a mile



Post workout both days:
3 scoops RecoverPro
Gatorade
1 Banana

10-45 minutes later
5-6 eggs




Question to everyone:
Im considering hitting my 531 lifts in the morning(no assistance work)...just the compound movement then leave. And then later on hit p90x or depending on the day right after the compound movement....just b/c im curious and my dad ordered it awhile back.

Any suggestions? I think it a bad idea to do the p90x before powerlifting...and just to hit p90x I would lose some strength. But seeing as I am focusing on more bodyweight type movements maybe this could be an option.

Opinions?

He's around probably too busy to write a comlete update. He has so much going on he impresses me how he keeps up with it all.
 
So have you incorporated the P90 program into your current program? Interested to see how the both turn out for you. I have the same DVDs but never really tried them. I watched and tried a couple of the DVDs but never really tried the actual program.

but he means to compete with the video camera controller-less functionality. the Kinect is pretty amazingly accurate, i've been surprised by it.
 
The kinect will win my money... I was really impresse with it!!!

Not yet. Right now im thinking on encorporating the ab workout and the cardio workout. The rest I think ill stick with the body weight style lifts ive been doing and building fromt here
 
UPDATES!!!

Ok so i have hit 2 workouts since my last update:

Chest Day:
250x5
285x5
325x6

Assistance:
325x2....slow and pausing...i needed a little help the 3rd rep during lockout

Perfect Pushup:
100 reps total

Wide Pull Ups:
30 pulls ups total



Squat Day:
325x5
365x5
415x15...woohoo!! depth could be better but I wanted to take it easy on the knees today. Slightly above parrallel at the hips.

One Legged Squats: Assisted(holding on to something so i dont fall)
8
10
10
5

These are going to get some taking use to.

Sprints pushing car till I was too tired to continue.
 
FREAKING AWESOME CHEST AND LEG DAY!!!

those pistol squats are a killer man. I like the sprints pushing a car as a finisher for your legs. Great posterior chain work

Yeah im trying to work up to pushing that car in sprinting intervals to 1/2 a mile, then a full mile(God Willing). It will take forever to build up that kind of endurance post workout but when I do it will be worth the work. Also the GHR work will really bring up my deadlifts once i start hitting good form and adding weight. And those one legged squats are gonna help my squat big time.

Im really liking this BW style workout...if anything it may stick around for awhile and just add other exercises to it. Once they get too easy i can invest in a weighted vest! (mine is falling apart).

The only reason I will change it up is if I see it's hinduring my strength gains or some other unforseen problem. But if God willing...Ill carry this routine over to my next Super Swole Stack
 
This Mornings Shoulder lift:

Standing Military Press:
145x3
165x3
185x6...New PR....i think...

Assistance:
135x5...slow and strict

Dips:
+50lbs: 25, 22, 13, 10, 11, 9
BW: 15
Total:105

Chin Ups:
BW: 15, 14, 11, 6, 6
Total: 52

No time for cardio. Gotta get ready for work. Will hit cardio up later

Post workout:

1 whole egg
5 egg whites
5.8 ounces lean ground beef
1 apple
1 fiber one bar

Rest of the day:
20.2 ounces of lean ground beef
1 cup brown rice
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast

Ill fit in 2-3 servings of veggies somewhere...maybe at night with the chicken.

Edit: I forgot to mention, after dropping keto and getting sick and just eating like cr@p for over week im weighing around 194-195. No doubt mostly all of this is water and glycogen. I'll keep carbs in my diet for awhile till i can slowly drop back down to the high 180s(188-187). Then Ill hit up a keto cut to go down to the low 180s. This will be the goal for the next 4-6 months. And of course...continue getting stronger.

Thank you, but im not too happy with it. Once i hit 100 total reps with 50lbs, ill increase the amount of weight to maybe 75lbs and work my way back up.
