TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

Stellar rowing/back day there Thomas. Those Meadows and Krocs are paying dividends to you. Congrats on that PR!
 
PowerGrabs sound like Versa-Grips

I just saw that video of the somersault squats and must say they are something I want to try. Great job as usual Thomas

I think you'll like them. They are a punisher.

To me, 100% similar. Only difference is texture. They say to mix 2 tbsp with X amount of water to mimic PB, but I haven't tried that yet.

I have done this, and it does workout pretty good.. Not exactly the same texture as PB or Natty PB though...

Spending some time with the wife and I have more conference tomorrow. I promise I'll catch up on everyone's log, but may be a couple days.

Enjoy your time with the wife

Meadows Rows felt like a million pounds today. On the last set of 2, the strap was sliding off.

Well @ 180 for Meadows Rows, you might have Mr. Meadows himself asking you for tips lol

You recommended them before. I'll get a pair. Thanks man.

I have them too, and they are fantastic - I got the Neoprene ones though. Perfect for when your grip is shot. Mine look identical to this:

Props to Controlled Labs Red Acid Reborn for keeping me alert and awake this morning in the conference.
 
Stimz would've done the same...

Noooo way! You're in it, too?!? I'll have to check it out.



I'm out of Stimul8, please direct me to the best deal online. I haven't shopped on Nutraplanet since the change. :(

Or a 1/4 scoop of Stimul8

Sean was good enough to send me some goodies, so I need to try them out. Besides, STIMUL8 and sitting still don't go well together. lol
 
You didn't get yours yet? Bet it's there today.

I'm not in the footage in the movies but yes I'm there. At the bottom of the mountain where and when that was filmed

You talking brokeback mountain?
 
M. Bell: "is there anything you wish you had done differently during your powerlifting career?"

E.Coan: "I wish I'd focused more on nutrition and mobility work."

Boom. I'm way ahead of Coan. It's time to beat his DL records.
 
^lol. If you can lift like he did (edit: and still does) fuk mobility work.
 
Can't wait to hear your feedback on Stimz!
 
Are meadows rows meant to be done in that heavy a range?? Gonna have to get a Mastodon bar to keep stacking plates at the rate you're going, T!

I don't see why not. My goal on back day is to move weight, not necessarily compete in a body building tournament. I expected 8, but was being a sissy.
 
And thanks Hyde!

8 is good, 2 is a lesson lol. Kind of the way nobody cares what you can hit for a single on tricep press downs - they're just muscle work to build the 1RM bench.

It was one of those where I did two, and said screw it, I'm done with these.
 
Probably all depends on where you feel it. I love the isolation I get on 1 arm BB rows and Meadows. My Lats have grown pretty good from doing them and my OHP has gone up considerably. Bench hasn't escalated as much but I really only do inclines.

I like to see if I can get 8-10 heavy reps, then do a fatigue set like last weeks 75x40. No doubt my back will eventually contribute to bench strength.
 
Finally home.

Went to the hunting camp last night after the conference to replace the tarp covering the camper and built another bed.

It was hot as heck today.

Also got new liquid chalk in.

Invalid Link Removed

Tried a squirt and it dries super fast. No more Kroc or DL mishaps with wet chalk, I hope.

Still behind on almost everyone's logs, but I'll be on them quicker than a Canadian surrendering to an invading country.

Well, maybe not that quick. It might take a day.
 
It's squat day, and I'm not feeling it. Top set is 365 here in a couple minutes. Goal is 8-9... Never squatted this weight more than two reps.

Need some L&S mojo...
 
I was going to order a big bottle of liquid chalk but I think I'm going to make my own.

Banded Hip Series

Rev Banded BW squats and banded wall squats throughout.

Barbell Squat 462.33

Set 1 : 45x5
Set 2 : 135x5
Set 3 : 165x5
Set 4 : 205x5
Set 5 : 240x3
+Belt
Set 6 : 290x3
Set 7 : 330x3
Set 8 : 365x8 PR

To work on singles...
Set 9 : 365x1
Set 10 : 315x1
Set 11 : 315x2

I wasn't bracing well nor was I taking my air in before the descent.

My lower back was sore from stuff i was doing yesterday, and I literally had a bathroom emergency right before this set. I rushed my warmups because I have to be home by 2...

In short, I screwed myself today.

Cuffs felt... Different. My knees were warm as hell. lol

I'll take any criticism you have.

Huh. I think I'll try this as well. Thanks
 
For whatever reason I can't get your video to load on my phone. I'll try again later on my laptop. Congrats on the PR, nonetheless.

And you said it yourself before. You have the tendency to rush your squats as you're fixated on a specific number. Gotta be patient and know you'll get it, no need to rush.

But yeah, yardwork and other BS can kill a session. That's why I rearranged my squats this week the day after I went to cedar point. I realize we don't all have the flexibility to do that though.

Thanks man. Next time I'll take an extra days rest.

Are you using the app? I can't watch it in the app either. It's been doing that, hit or miss, recently.
 
Squats looked good! I just realized you have long legs and a short back. You gon' be leaning all your squatting life, bro.
