This was a very good read. He essentially, with his "good morning squat" technique as it is called Dan Green's squat "perfect technique." I want to toy with this.

This is right up your alley buddy

Helped me to understand the thinking but it would take a lot of work for me to make progress in this manner

These literally fried my. I was a little beat up coming in, but these just ended my week. Everything else was heavy so

Incline DB bench/fat bar pull downs
60's x 3 x 10/90 x 3 x 10

Hung from the bands

Those just were so rough. I can't remember the last time a movement with higher reps fried me so bad.

Two much needed days off in a row now. I'll do some GPP at home, but nothing much.

That's all folks
 
Been waiting all week for that dark side mike t interview ;)

And done. Stayed awhile after to help another guy benching. Good day today. Getting stronger. Feels good bros :D
 
Nice benching and squats man. Showing a little leg, too, eh.
 
Thanks guys

And I voodoo wrapped the sore hammy for top sets. Actually pretty solid. If recommend it to continue pushing weights. I learned that from guys at the gym so I can't take credit haha
 
nice work these past two days man! been killing it on the bench especially. paused deads are rough, i gotta get my weight up on those..

Speed Squats Explained-JTSstrength.com: Invalid Link Removed Thought u mite find his view interesting
Click to expand...

Very solid video and view point. Same with Mike's article. The way chad is doing it is almost like GPP for him, and that has benefit. I'd imagine that be good as a deload session, too. It would be hard, but I'd like to think he recovers from that quickly. I like...BOTH view points lol

Isn't it amazing how many different cool ways we can manipulate our training? The hard part is not letting it paralyze our programming.
 
Nice vid man, thanks.

Do you guys think it would be ok to do speed sqats on a deload, as long as the weight wasn't that heavy?
 
I started this cycle of speed work at 50 to 60% of 1rm but that's with bands I can't remember if they recommend the same without
 
Hip circle 2.0
KB swing(35)
Goblet(25)
BSS
Glute activation stuff(bridge variants)

Think I am gonna have to shorten the ROM on deads or something
135 x 3
225 x 3
315 x 3
All fine
365 x 3
Just didn't feel good. I thought I was going to go in pretty good and that just wasn't the case. I am thinking maybe shortening the ROM for awhile.

Since I was annoyed and wanted to have fun I did

SSB 250 x 10 x 2 on the minute
Drenched in sweat and very fun

Hypers/GHR/reverse hypers

Done.

Will toy with programming. Sucks, but I don't have a choice. Gotta do something. At least the other lifts are doing good still.

You guys think the block pulls could be a way to go? Let me know if any of you have ideas.

Thanks guys.
 
If it's off the floor that's killing you, then I would think you could do block pulls. Or maybe even full pulls against bands so you don't lose form off the floor.

The hammy I can work around for the most part. More the right QL area. Just feels weak/sore once I get to a certain weight

Seems really odd u have been struggling with this for too long. Think perhaps u may just be babying/worrying about it too much. It's not my body and only know what's really going on and I hope I don't sound like an *******

Edit:I know when I get the tendinitis in my left arm while benching I tend to really focus on that area and it screws with my head big time

That's a good idea, or even add chains, then go to straight weight. Nice capo

Absolutely not. Last time I pushed it when it had this dull pain it has now was at the mock meet, and my back was stiff as **** after that. Not good at all. Couldn't even squat right.

Really I should be going back to the Chiro, but it just sucks that it coasts so much per visit. I used to go 1 time a month as I have wrecked my low back 2 times before this. Those times it was hard to sit down.

I hear you on the tendinitis, I have it too. But I've managed it great. Maybe I'll see what I got after bills this month and try and go to the Chiro again bc this is getting annoying where my best lift is making the least progress.
 
This past Sunday we did a bit of getto X wife rolling with a piece 1" rod on everyone's back and imo it's way better then wasting my money there. My back hasn't felt that good in a long time and I've been going to the chrio twice a month. once I get some pipe I'm not going back unless I got something misaligned

Interesting. I would like to figure a way to do this myself. This has happened before and usually it as I pull I start getting better. Like I feel pretty darn good, but once the weight gets up I feel the pressure/weakness right in the at the apex of the right hip on the posterior portion.

I will admit I am more cautios with this then other stuff as if you throw your back out that ****s up more than your workouts.
 
In the mono

SSB squat W/wraps
360 x 1PR
390 x 0 folded
380 x 1PR
-wraps
+pause
270 x 3
270 x 5
270 x 7

Hex bar deadlift
315 x 4 x 5
315 x 12

Just worked out with one of the guys at the gym on the mono lift, and had fun. 390 was a fail in the upper back and not the lower body.

That's all and thanks for stopping by San Diego

Bad brace? Good work today regardless

That bar goes exactly against my weakness, and at like the mid point of coming out of the hole it is make or break. I do think I wasn't tight enough because with the nose torque and yelling on the 380 they said it looked easy. It wasn't, but it moved well.

Cliff notes: yes haha

Edit: For the record I find this bar much harder than comp bar so this is a good sign of improvement
 
Awesome PRs Rob.

Sometimes I hate my gym when I see the goodies you guys get to use. Oh well.
 
Bench w/chains(50)
135+ x 3
185+ x 3
225+ x 1(275@ top)
Tightness was lacking. Guy I was training with pulled me into position and
205+ x 3best set

Kettle bell bench(25 each side hanging from band)
X 3 sets of 15reps
Holy tightness batman! Legs wanted to cramp.

Ring push-ups/bench dips/close grip attachment hanging from chain on ceiling pull ups-1 minute rest after each tri-set
10/10/8
8/10/6
8/10/5
This sucked hard.

And blasted and my conditioning is not too good. My whole upper body feeling juicy. Another hard, fun, productive workout. Tightness was hard at first, probably because my upper back is wrecked from the SSB yesterday.

Anyways, thanks for reading. I'll get more videos soon for critique.

Killin it Rob! How the KB bench feel? Never done it, but may give it a whirl either today or tomorrow.

High reps, low weight. It forces you into a position where you really have to get tight(which I suck at). Plus it's great for shoulder health. Give it a whirl.

Why so? Stability?

I've seen this on IG and didn't know what the purpose was.
 
Nice day there. Would 25 lb plates hanging from bands accomplish the same thing? My gym doesn't have more than 1 kb of the same size..
