Sean's Powerlifting Journey

I hate eggs too. I eat them though, because I'm not a big vagina.


I used to hard boil 8-10 for breakfast, break them in half, and basically swallow each half whole with a little milk so that I didn't have to taste them. Plus, it only took like 2 minutes to eat 8 eggs.


Now I eat them scrambled with bacon, and I use the bacon to overpower the taste from the eggs....

I'm down. That'd be awesome.

Diet setup looks pretty good too. FWIW, according to ketone testing strips, I was able to stay in ketosis while eating a Quest bar on most days. I'd always use AP prior though.

Thanks for that bud. Sounds like I'm fine to keep munching on Quest Bars on occassion then.
 
Saw this at a local supp shop. I'll give it a whirl.

That looks legit. You all are weird w/ your egg-hate. Just smashed a bowl of grits, some sourdough, & a philly steak n cheese omelette at denny's. I probably eat an egg meal 5x/wk right now. It's majorly inconvenient to cook them fresh every time, but I do it as often as I have time because I love it. Common prewo dinner with some oats or hot cereal. Been doing a lot of egg whites w/ turmeric lately to cut fats, but with some cheapass louisiana hotsauce it's still delicious.

Jim, I don't understand how you can't like eggs, but I commend your fortitude slamming the hard-boiled octette every morning.

All louisiana hot sauce is delicious
 
Eat ****, Wade lol

So...right supraspinatus feels great after yesterday's session. Before I lifted, it felt like smashed *******. I guess that's a good sign?

I just got burnt out on them, I got those nasty eggs the army serves every morning for too long, and then just kept increasing the amount that I ate every morning until they made me sick.



Its a little better now with bacon though.
 
Nothing worse than the smell of burnt eggs. Also wet eggs groce me out, I need to cook them perfectly or no me gusta.
 
So..actually doing PT at work now...

-Monday will be 2 rounds/1 minute each:
Planks
Burpees
Jump rope
Push-ups
Lunges
Suicides
Flutter Kicks
Crunches
Jumping Jacks

-Wednesday will be a run. Less than 3 miles.

-Friday will be whatever sport.

Bleh.

Then I'll be at a school for two weeks, mid-may. I may have to find a crossfit gym nearby so I can actually squat.

There's a noticeable difference to me, but try to get a used 13mm. It takes ages to break that bastard into working shape.

I have the EFS Economy belt now which is 13mm. Just browsing around at other belts. I'll most likely stick with 13mm since I've been in it so long.

Is the reverse hyperextension an effective exercise to correct posterior pelvic tilt on squat?
I watched "so you think you can squat," and I noticed in my squat vid today that I am committing the aforementioned technical flaw, even on light sets :(

You sure you mean postieror and not anterior?
 
If you have post tilt in a squat your back will look like its broken like a bad deadlift almost (exaggerating)

Anterior will look like you have too much lumbar arch basically. You can fix this by strengthening your glutes and hams to hold the posterior down and your abs to hold the anterior up/back.

That's a general suggestion. Throw a pic or vid up in your log and well take a look.

Low back flattens in the hole. It loses that slope

Ah, sounds like you are more referring to the lower back rounding or loss of your arch in the hole?

This usually means you're overextending at the lumbar to start the squat or you have tight hammies. So start by squeezing your ass, then tightening your abs like you're going to be punched, then sucking as much air in as you can, as low as possible. Your spine should be neutral and supported by intrabdominal pressure.

Then when you go to squat, don't reach your butt back, drive your hamstrings back. Those cues should help the situation immensely. If you're still winking in the hole, then and only then do you stretch your hamstrings.
 
This pretty much. Keep the glutes and hams tight and sit down not up. Keep a big chest in the hole too, if you're letting the chest dip and your just dropping into a bad position that could be your whole issue.

You really can't load the glutes and hams sitting straight down. There has to be some sit-back to load the PC and prevent knee injuries.

That's not what in saying. You have to use them eccentrically to lower the body and if it's biased too much towards the quads he's gona end up on his toes doing a good morning. With a good split you lower more controlled into the hole. Like you said don't sit back/reach back with the butt, but sit down in a braced neutral spine position. I'm saying to load the PC... Which Is glutes and hams. I said that right in my post lol. I said sit down, as in not sit back. Which is what you said about not reaching back with the butt. Pretty sure we are on the same page just using different words.

Point is load the PC and keep the chest up and spine neutral and avoid the position that is causing the breakdown. I think it's form and not muscle/strength related.

Meant to say sit down not back*

Not straight down, just down.
 
I can agree with that. I'm starting to remember that you used to sit back too far, so sit back was a bad cue for you. I was saying PUSH back with hams, don't reach back with butt. I've had trouble with people poking around for the box/depth rather than loading like a spring, hence modifying how I cue it.

I had the same issue he's talking about, haha. I agree with that ^ it's hard for me to visualize push back with hams (probably because you can't actually do that lol) but that's just mean. Yes load like a spring is exactly it. I think different cues work for different people. We need vid so we can figure this out and quit shooting In the dark haha.

Hey guys, I put up that squat vid in my log. Didn't want to hijack sean's! take a look and rip me apart if you don't mind
 
You could always front load them?? I prefer the majority of my carbs "peri workout".. It seems like I can get away with more, and not get fat quickly.

That's similar to CBL except you get all your carbs post-training. I joke that I eat mainly BS during my backload, but it's mainly sirloin burgers, dirty rice, and breakfast foods with some sour worms added.
