Killn' The Cube: My powerlifting venture begins

Tis true, run with the big dog and see what he's all about. There are more than a lot of guys on stupid amounts of gear with shyt physiques/numbers. Just don't listen to him if he tells you not to foam roll. Brian Carroll worked me with that too good to be true promise once already.

Hard to tell if it will be good or not unless you got to see the session. He may be a really smart lifter and knows to account for individual differences, or he may just be...and I don't even like this term, a full blown meathead who is genetically gifted and does roids. Cool stuff about the job. Hopefully you go somewhere cool.

Thanks for your input fella's.

He kind of sketched me out when he went on a rant about how sumo isn't anyone's strongest position, and how he told some kids to look up on their squat and it instantly added 90# to their squat. Lol

Sh1t like that is cause for concern. But I did see him bench 495 with a 5" pause for 5 and hit 685 from a 10" deficit (dumb) for 4.

We'll see. Hell, the "team" may never come to fruition.
 
I know im late AF to this log lol. Read the first 10 pages or so. Subbing to follow along now. Thinking about becoming a cuber.

Been thinking about it. Just dont know if id want to update it every workout lol. If i make one i want to be able to make it useful for all involved so i just want to make sure i want to commit to keeping up to date with the log.

10" Deficit???? He must have some long ass arms.

Word, lol. He could be taller as well. When you're as wide as as a Buick it makes you look shorter.

Welcome, man! Never too late. I haven't cubed in a long time, but it's a solid program!

Let us know if you log it.
 
ME lower:

SSB squats:
365x5x3
335x8

So, I found out the SSB at my gym might be heavier than 65#. So, I might be SSB'ing more than I thought. :hump:

Block pulls:
495x5
545x2
585x2x3

Felt strong overall, but I'm going to need to address my grip. I'm almost certain if I maxed out right now and tried to hit 625+ off the floor my grip wouldn't hold.

Leg press:
600x10x4

Leg curl SS extensions

Calves

Called it a day.

So, my gym had these delicious "protein" brownies they've been buying from some shop near Dayton. Well, they were literally the best brownies I've had and people were questioning the validity of the ingredients. They got them tested and these fückers have been selling regular boxed brownies to my gym as protein brownies.

Where's the integrity in this industry? Jesus A, you can't trust anyone. So, my macros have been off because some dickhead wanted to make a few bucks.
 
I want to try one..

How do you get a brownie tested?

No idea but I want that job.

Sean1332 said:
I think I saw that posted in another thread. They posted up the results from a lab they sent it too. So stupid.

Duramaxhd said:
Someone post something about it on the iifym page on FB wonder if it the same place
Click to expand...

Hmm, I doubt it's the same place because it's a local shop. It's named simply delicious or something similar. I guess brownie spiking is common. Lol.
 
ME lower:

Buffalo bar squat:
315x3
345x3
365x2
385x2
405x2
415x2
445x2 (PR)

Well, if I knew everything was going to feel so light I would have made better weight jump decisions. Even the last set of 445 felt crazy light. I was good for at least 485 today, possibly 500.

1.5" deficit deadlift:
495x3x3

Good lord. These smoked me.

Inverted leg press:
600x8x4

Leg curl SS leg extension

Calves (DC)

Fantastic day. I think eating a lot yesterday helped me tremendously for today. Sunday's are my off day, but I'm going to eat my damn carbs despite what the book says.

Also, I feel like I'm juggling 20 different things in my life right now. It's really hard for me to keep track of everything. I'm making big career moves here soon. Time to streamline this stuff and get to the money.
 
Gawd-damn this guy is lighting it up! Jelly of your bison bar. Gym owner bought a 4th squat rack instead of my damn buffalo bar. Hurry up and squat 5!
 
Awesome PR man!

Killer day, man. 500 is coming! And those deficit pulls...good lord.

Get that money!

Thanks, bro. Ahh, I'm so damn close now. I might of had it yesterday, but I'll never know now.

A few months at the latest, IMO.

Then I'll throw on some wraps. :evilgrin:

Dude, the buffalo bar is not a whole lot to be jealous about. Well, other than having a bent bar.

It's thin and has no knurling. Our owner bought a good one directly from Louie and some fûcker stole it Brandon Lilly style.

Thanks, guys. I sound like a spoiled brat. My gym has everything I could ever want; if I have to move, I'm going to miss this gym.

I don't think there's a gym in the world I would rather train at.

500's going to Cincy's bitch soon!!!

Pretty soon imma be draggin' these nuts across 500's face.

And then I'll eat a whole apple pie and carton of fish sticks in glory.

Vindication...
 
Pretty blah bench day.

At first, I was missing my groove and then I noticed my leg drive wasn't on per usual.

Turned it around towards the end, so not too bad of a day. Just nothing fantastic.
 
ME lower:

Squat:
375 8 sets of 4

Unilateral leg press:
345 per leg 4 sets of 8

Banded 45 degree back extension w/ medicine ball: 4 sets of 12

Leg curls

Leg extensions

Good day, a lot of volume. I decided to take a week off of heavy deadlifts being that I've been pulling heavy every week for a few months now.
 
Those are some serious leg presses. You're gonna be sore tomorrow with that volume,

Man, I didn't even feel taxed on the squats until the last two sets. Then the jello legs came on strong.

With the leg press, we have these stoppers we can put up and they have a little bounce to them so it does help out a bit.

Squats are feeling better than ever right now, though. I'm not up with you big boys yet, but I'm not completely dissatisfied with them anymore.
 
Your squats are nothing to be ashamed of for sure. I wish I could multi-rep-set 375.
 
ME upper:

Bench:
295x4x2

Sooo weak!

275x7

Swiss bar OHP:
155x8x3

Floor press:
225x12x2

DB side lateral

Pec deck

Not the best day. I just flew back into Dayton at 2 and hit the gym right after.

Not my best performance, but...a bad day in the gym is better than a day off!
 
Today is one of the proudest days of my life. I was just offered a great position at a fortune 100 company.

I've worked so hard for everything I have. The feeling is incredible.
 
Thanks guys.

First thing I did after I found out where I'm relocating is search for PL'ing gyms.

I'm going to miss PowerStation. Best gym I'll ever find.
 
ME lower:

Block pulls:
585x3x2 (reps, sets)(volume PR)
585x2 - absolutely gassed by the 3rd

Squats w/ mastodon:
325x5
375x5
395x5x2

Felt really, really good. Especially considering the block pulls preceding squats. Going to nut up and go for 500 here in a few weeks.

Inverted leg press:
4 plates x8x2
4 plates xAMRAP (20)

Leg curl: 20x3

Leg extension: a lot

Pretty solid day. My government job ended Friday, and I don't start my new job for another week or so. I have way too much time on my hands now, lol.

Considering switching up my training. Not permanently, but just to try something new. I've been doing conjugate for nearly 2 years straight now.
