TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

Hitting the rack like that screws up the rest of the workout. You're concentrating on where you are more than the lift at that point. Really sucks.
Still good squatting there. Glad you found something that'll work doing front squats.

It really does. FS's aren't my favorite, but I'll make progress I'm sure.
 
I can see why the motivation would be low ... kuddos to you for getting in there and getting the work done - with all the crap on your plate.

Tomorrow is chest/shoulders, so hopefully I can get some aggression out.

Meh. Inclines are getting stronger, OHP is getting weaker.

I was supposed to have 140 on my top set, but I'm about 90% sure I had 145 there.

If I had done a couple more rounds of the last triple-set my shoulders would've popped.
 
My shoulders were popping just reading that workout. Nice!
 
You know, you might just have to change up your OHP. These are standing correct? If you want to grow the shoulders and do OHP then try seated. Or seated DB. Or the HS OHP and just drop the standing for awhile. Standing OHP's are awkward for a lot of people. It puts stress on the upper Lumbar lower Thoracic area due to the slight lean back you have to do. Seated OHP gives your back support and allows you to concentrate on the lift. HS OHP gives better support and allows all your attention on the weight. It allows you to make sure you have your lats activated also(probably the reason for my heavy lifts on it).
 
Jeez Register, supersetting Incline BP and Klokov? Yikes man good for you!!

They are standing. I'm not going to give up on them yet. I've been doing a lot of shoulder mobility stuff, and I think that's wearing them down a little. In the long haul, I should be able to start making improvements again, especially since my shoulders 'feel' good.

Thanks man. They were tough, and my strength just started going down quick at that point.

Thanks man. Almost at two plates.

Nice work man, the press will come along, any specific point in the lift that you are having trouble?
Click to expand...

I don't think so. Nothing feels off, nor does anything hurt. The strength just isn't there. It's possible I'm not timing my breaks well enough. I pretty much press, do mobility work, and press again. I may just be wearing them down too quickly.
 
I agree! You're strong! Your shoulders can only do so much back to back though! Can't beat yourself up! You've been progressing like a mad man! Plus you've been dealing with nagging shoulder issues! You're one he** of a beast!!!

I wish I had 15 more minutes for destroyers and DB pullovers.

I tried hook grip on 175 and I think I did it wrong. My thumb didn't hurt and I don't think my grip was any better. Maybe my thumb is too fat. I'll look up a video today.

I did the band assisted squats for hip mobility today, just for practice. I almost flipped upside down but was being a sissy. I didn't want to get stuck there...

I just woke up to go to the gym too and was sitting here thinking the same thing and then I realized you posted this 2 hours ago.

I really want to squat tomorrow so I couldn't rest today. Looking forward to the extra sleep tomorrow.
 
Turf has a point - shoulders isn't a competition move for you; its general strength and muscle work. I'd keep it for now like you said but there's nothing wrong w trying seated for a while if it stays in the sh!tter for too long
 
190 x8 is just insane and still hit 110x30 on Krocs. That's impressive man!
 
wasme said:
I guess at 190x8 there was body english used... damn!
Click to expand...

For real!! WOW!!!! Insane work and being tired too! Are you sure? jk
 
Just went through most of my Instagram videos looking at form and changes. It's crazy how much everything has changed for the better. I saw a video from one week, and the following week with a slight tweak my progress shot through the roof.

Anyway, skwats tomorrow. Goal is 335x11 on the top set. Gonna work on staying upright and maybe moving my stance out a tad.

Hey! I resemble that Canadian remark! Lol

Your row weights are phenomenal. I'm using about half that and it's tough going.

Didn't do accessory work because I have a lot of chores and it's supposed to rain soon. Lots of hip stuff done, and that felt great.

A trainer was watching and said as the reps went up my knees came in a little, I wasn't driving my head into the bar, and I was taking in air up top and on my descent instead of while upright. He's the only trainer there I think is worth a damn, so I'll take his word.

Video angle was the only available. Too many people in the gym.
 
1. Drive your upper back into the bar, not your head. But I get what he's saying.

2. He's right about the breathing.

Congrats. PR? And from this angle most the squats are .5inches or so high. But that's me being a depth nazi, it's really not a big deal when you're doing that many reps.

I meant to, but forgot.

I can live with 1/2" high call from a nazi.
