First day of pain free hips while squatting, thank goodness. I forgot my knee sleeves, so instead my knees were bugging me...

Oh god, block pulls after 11 sets of squats is awful, the back pump was nasty.

My triceps are pathetically weak, and I'm strong off the chest so the pause isn't really taking anything away for me. I like them.

Funny you mention Tee Cummins as he coaches Nick Israel, who does my programming. That anabolic trickle down effect....

Squats felt awful bc of right hip, no pain, just super tight and gross feeling. Meh.
 
That sucks man. I feel like every time I let down on hip mobility that happens to me. Not saying you did, just saying greeting and solutations...damn I'm smart sounding, amirite?

You're completely correct, I got lazy and slacked.

Back was kinda sore going into this, so took it light on the AMRAP. Somewhere in the first 5 sets I must have flexed my elbow bc I noticed my right bicep was oddly sore when flexed. No bruising later and no audible sounds or moments during the lift, must be small. I'll keep an eye on it, heavy bench tomorrow.
 
I think it's funny you don't add any agmatine on lower days - I'm the same way. The pump inhibits the work.

Thinking this was a volume PR today, never done that many singles followed by doubles around 250. think my best was a 255x1x3 or 2x2, can't remember...

Yep, being forced to. Honestly didn't think the 280 would go up, but it did...

Pretty sure I've never tried to double 260, so this is a volume and/or rep PR? Guess I'm getting stronger bc Nick is actually pushing me....

Yeah man, it comes off on the stones for runs. You can keep some in the back of your hand (small glob) to retacky between stones if you use it in a contest.
 
Making some awesome progress on the press lately big guy!
 
Thanks fellas, 300 will finally fall again.

Is the Super Centurion single-ply?

Great training; you'll be feeling that for sure.

Super Centurion is single ply indeed. Hand me down suit, a little loose but I fill it out with another 10lbs.

Thanks, actually the only thing sore is my upper back from that dam Texas squat bar.


Coached two of my lifters at Norcal Open in Merced, very long meet 9-10pm, I'm shot but they both hit PRs and did well. Deadlifts tomorrow... Lol

What made it better is I'm in the middle of a training cycle, not a peaking cycle.

Not overly happy with the upper body positioning but it makes the bar move fast, so I dunno...

630 will be my training max for the next training block, I'd say I have considerably more in me since I used old 2.0m RPMs and self-wrapped. Somehow the mate to my 2.5m APT 2XHs has gone missing, those were my comp wraps...

Rodja any input on the squat? Still learning single ply.
 
Looks like you might have cut it just a little high.

Can't comment to much outside of that with the single ply, that stance was wide AF.

I'd agree depth was questionable erring on the side of legal.

Ya, the hardest part is the walkout and walk in with that stance.

We have the same rack. We're cool.

Ya we have three of these Rogue Westside racks.

Pretty fast, very shaky though.
 
Dang man, gettin' some weight on the bar this workout - if I'd worked up to a max effort lift, I can tell you I wouldn't be doing all the crap you did afterward, not with the %'s you used anyway. Wearin' me out looking at it.

I think your squat would have flown. Watched it about 6 times; it looks parallel. Just not THRU parallel, so that's gonna come down to the judges. You do some fed like SPF, and people would be telling you to quit squatting so deep lol.
