AHAHAHA... it is x1x10 10 sets of 1.
So yes, nothing new with pressing. It is still in the shatz can really.
I just always put the reps first, then the sets.

If I could get out of working Saturdays and or weekends, I might be inclined to look for a meet somewhen/where!?!?

I feel you, but I was actually looking at the CGBP while also noting the good deal of singles on the OHP. I feel like you've regularly been working with 135 or less for CGBP but maybe I'm a bit wrong.

Hey Toro, I was just doing some more volume lower weights on the BP's and OH pressing to see if I would get any response and some BBing.
If anything, the shoulders don't ache so much pimping some blood in there with higher vol and less weight.
Going for more tests before they will script my TRT, since they want to get a full history on me. I am not big on doctors, actually.
Would like to do this with a different source (legal of course) but the hormone clinics I have looked into, want about $300-$600 a month and not covered by my insur. since it seems voluntary.

This was funny, as I went in dreading any kind of W/O today and was just way out of sorts and not even in the mood.
It ended up being a pretty good strong one for me, as I am going to chase the #500x10 rep thing for a little while. Perhaps a month.
There is a guy on another site who has #500x9 in the conventional DL, so I want to try and squeeze him a bit.
I think if I had not done the work up front today, I could have gotten at least 9 from floor today, certainly T&G.
Very good erector feel today also. Feels like they have some cables sewn back there under my skin. Lovin' that feeling.
Hams/glutes really got beat up by the time the RDL's hit and I focused the squats more on the quads.
A keeper from the start of a dumpster fire....!
 
Man, I really want to see what the Paul Black does on a platform with a form fitting singlet and a Texas Deadlift Bar.
 
No/never material gear for me fellas. I would lift raw and most likely beltless.
I might be talked into knee sleeves and a belt for a squat.
I might see what the New Year brings as far as work schedules, weekends etc.

Ah, the singlet won't give you any carryover, Paul. Unless it has skulls or flames on it. It's just the competition uniform.

Well, the sat squat set was just for ****z and giggles as there is a dude on another board that was doing high rep frnt squats and we got into a high rep thread. I used ot thrive on higher reps years ago with deads and squats so I wanted to see how bad they still sucked. The #225 left my legs (quads mostly) feeling like diarrhea for a half hour.

Monday, was not into it going in. Had to watch a few DL vids to find a spark. It worked some. I hit my planned work even though I was dragging arse a little.
To many holiday cookies and easy living.
Anyway, it worked out pretty well.
I just put it in my mind, (what if this was the last workout I ever did? What if I pursued something else for the new year, so I shook the sand out of my panties and got a little dirty. Worked out okay I suppose. Did want to check my hip movement on this but camera battery goes dead if I leave it sit a while. What a pisser.
A keeper all in all.

Happy Holidays to all...!

Machine rows. Has a dictated up and down path and hits the center of my upper back (christmas tree) no pun intended, with some emphasis on my upper lats.

Wednesday 1/8

#500+#100 Chns x3x3

1" Deficits #410+#100 chns x5x3

1" Def St WT #460 x9 (Was pretty gassed and hips came up on 9 so I quit there.)

Oly Squats med stance #275x6x2 10x1

GM's #225 x15

Bench Rows #180x12x3

Bent Rows #200x12x2




Well, I am still going to amp the reps up some and try to get the #500x10, (I know Xfit ;-) then try turning that into a single #625+.
After the 6 sets, I was getting kinda gassed out, so the reps should help that some.
 
Agreed with Sean. I wanna see you swing big with that deadlift
 
500x10 is going to transfer to more like 660+ man. Get after it.
 
Thanks for the pos feeds guys. Gotta see what the New Year may bring.

As far as a transfer #500x10 to #660, my q ratio is not that high. I might guess, as I said #625-#635 hopefully.

Friday 1/10

CGBP's #165 x5x5

Strict Bent Rows #180 x12x4

Pull Dwns #180 x10x4



Really did not feel like lifting this AM, but as the day went on, I grabbed some sparks and when I got in there, I just ramped up my squat volume. I think this will help with my pulling rep sets. Did not feel as whipped today at all, with all that knee/hip bending shtuff so maybe my fitness level is coming up some. I will need it for spring yard work anyway. Yee hooooo...!
 
I know I can still feel some of the soreness today for sure.

Friday 1/17

Floor Pulls #225+2 greens x3
#315x2 " "
#405x1 " "
#455x1 " "
1" Deficit #455x1 " "
Same #425x1 " "

1" Def St Wt #425x12 (wooooo)

Clse Stanc GM's #225x15x2

Pull Dwns #160 x12x4
Lat Shrugs #225x15x2


I believe the top of the #455 was about #655 and towards the end up over the knees was pretty slow and near grinder but felt good.
The #425x12 felt pretty strong and snappy and it seems a little of my repping ability is coming back some.

I have got a few PM's asking me what I take before a W/O.
Here is what I have been using lately...
Evening: 2 Pumps Formeron (not sure if I get much from this as it has not shown much in my pressing strength at all)
AM 1 Erase Pro (this month)
2 Mugs 8 O' Clock Coffee (so is that like 4 actual cups?)
1 Hr B4 W/O 2 Anebeta (this month)
1 Scoop Life Exten Protein/Creapure/Glutamn

Post W/O 2 Anebeta
1 Scoop Life Exten Pro/Crea/Gltm

I have not tried Epi or any other PH as some have asked, although some people tell me Formeron is a mild PH at a 2 pumps.
About 2 months ago I tried a friends TRT cream script for a month and although I did get a rise in my libido, I did not see much if any strength increase, again going by my pressing and grip strength. I may be a candidate for TRT, but I have not yet gone thru the bs tests you have to get to get a pass.

That is pretty much my regimen.
5 days per week with breakfast I take a few DIM caps, ALA, NAC, Liver Cleanse, Vit D, Mag, B Comp, St John Wrt, Vit C, Zinc, 80mg Aspirin (2-3 days wk)
I have cut back on my egg consumption to 0 thru the week. I think I lost about 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks.
