Beelze training log

measurements are still changing everywhere except waist, which is expected. exactly what happened last time for a few months, then the waist really starts dropping. with the initial calorie drop and increased activity, i shouldn't have to change things for a while. as long as strength is still there, i'm happy. as for the program, it's M/W/F/S. circuit / TUT work on M/W covering everything in those two days. speed/TUT work on F/S covering everything again but with different movements. dropped speed work completely as of late to help with joint pain, seems to be working.
 
The speed work is getting at my joints as well in a few exercises. Did you just double up on the TUT work friday and saturday then?
 
on some things, yes. SB advised replacing speed with TUT 2/2, then utilizing TUT 2/3 on a following set. depending on how i feel after the first set, i may or may not pursue the 2/3. a lot of the times, i end up going slower than 2/2 anyway, my partner counted me one time at 3/4.

you may consider dropping speed as well and see how your joints react.

I only seem to feel more stress from the speed on my shoulder and chest exercises, mainly in my shoulder since I have had a previous injury there. I will play around with a few things. Thanks

jesus christ..are you sure you're on a diet?

Anyone who is reading, think about the TUT and then think about the DB press... then go home and punch yourself in the head repeatedly while thinking about the tempo of the pulldowns.

freak.

Ps, I think you had a little say in that legit status over at MMI... :)
 
who me? 2nd in command? never :D you fulfilled all the requirements and you frequent there regularly. good enough. we still need a vid though.

as for TUT stuff, it's a b!tch, no doubt about it. good stuff though, builds character :D

Reguarding leg press: how long does it take to load and unload those plates!!!!?

Reguarding RGBP smith: FREAK!:head:
 
TUT is time under tension... the time it takes to do the concentric and eccentric portion of the lift.

2:2 for Bench is 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down for example.


aside from the other freak numbers, the RDL session is ridiculous.

If PH has Ogre genes, then you have Colossus genes.
 
the TUT is as ubi explained.;) i'm trying to aim for a specific total time by the end of the set, generally between 35-40 seconds. by the end of the set, the last rep should be damn near impossible.

rysigpi, yup it sucks. (6) 100lbs plates, (2) 75lbs plates, (12) 45lbs plates, and one 80lbs dumbbell thrown on the back. fortunately, my TP takes care of that as i prepare for the next movement.
 
I know, I guess in my mind an Ogre is stronger than Colossus... But in retrospect I could see how it came across.

Mutant status is still in effect. :D

Beelze,

I want you to know my therapists, physical therapists, doctors, and undercover lovers have forbid me from reading your thread anymore. I have to be strong and admit, the kitchen is just too damn hot! SO I have opened up a unicorn website. Invalid Link Removed

Seriously, great lifts. Seriously. And I hate you.
 
lol @ motiv8tr. nothing to worry about here brutha, i'm falling apart looks like.

2/26 - legs/arms
something is up with me lately as heavy weight and me aren't mixing well. everything feels really stiff and won't loosen (warm) up.

stepups - nope. 30's hurt everything - back, legs, neck, etc.
leg press - couldn't exceed 690 without pain in back and knees, so I improvised. close stance TUT 2/3 - (2) 690 x 12 (60 seconds exactly)
RDL's - nope, 315 x 1 was a ****ton, felt like my back was going to break. (505 x 13 was easy last week)

barbell curls - 165 x 6 (5 good ones)
RGBP smith - 355 x 20 (spot on 20) PR the only good thing today

standing calves 2/3 - (2) 340 x 10

Might be a stupid question, but how do you do dumbbell rows on a smith machine?

I'm assuming that you just pull the bar with one hand, correct?

Forgive me, you big bastard :rasp:
 
you got it right brutha. i need something heavier for dumbbell rows so this will have to do. hard to find the perfect angle at first but once you figure it out, no problemo.

Something heavier? What's a matta...180lb dumbbells with 4 feet of 10lb plates duct-taped don't do the job anymore?

What's the heavieset dumbbell they have in your gym big guy?

Although I wouldn't have to perform these because of dumbbells in my gym not being heavy enough, I might give them a shot to change things up for a bit. Do you feel that they hit your lats differently at all as opposed to regular dumbbell rows?
 
145's are as high as they go in my neighborhood. as for the smith, i wouldn't use it if i had larger dumbbells - desperate times call for desperate measures. it doesn't feel quite right due to the restrictive nature of the smith. i'm sure it's still effective at targeting the lats, but still not the same.
 
145's are fine.. just get big ass heavy speaker magnets and stick those fvkcers to them... bingo.. problem solved.

(or you can spend a grip of money on some 200's :D)

i like your speaker magnet idea.
 
I'd never thought about it before...but there are some serious large magnets out there. The 5-15lb range each should be able to be found from car stereo apps. An extra 30lbs for each dumbbell would be nice.

The question is where to find 4 dead speakers, all matching, with magnets the size needed.

so probably not that realistic.
 
started out with squats but back still felt funny so yet another day of taking it easy.

Wouldn't be hard at all. Pawn shops are always filled with hawked speakers that are absolute ****e, which for your purpose would work great because they'd be cheap as hell.
 
Go fvck yourself Beelze. I'm going to have to sell my idea now... after a few hundred people rip off my idea from seeing this thread.

I'm am so smart... I am so smart, fa la la la leeee
