Smith Run the Rack Oh Ext+Smith Run the Rack Bicep Curl (not sure how to explain these, you move the bar up a spot each time using you bw to do the movement and it gets easier as you move up but you fatigue so not really)
1 set for tri 12 reps each, 6 mini sets
1 set for bis 10 reps each, 6 mini sets
Conditioning: Prowler low handles 90lbs+Pullaparts 20 reps+Prowler high handles 90lbs+Medicine Ball throws for 5 reps. 10min worth. Was very tired so conditioning was moderate today.
Notes: Green Mag is really helping my energy and focus. No stomach issues or bloat and im feeling strong. Plus it tastes great! Hit a Pr on bench and inclines today. Awsome session but mentally im dead. Also since the start of this log none of my work sets have a belt anymore until my real powerlifting belt comes in. Plus my core is getting stronger. Those head supported rows were hard, im trying to find movements I suck at so I can hit them more often.
 
I hit some great PRs on squats man. It will.
And RR if thats the case look up Dave tates so you think you can bench, or elitefts so you think you can bench. Correct your form and the rest will follow man. And it deff is, im very happy that I got this when I did!

130x15/15+10/10
Conditioning: Prowler low handles 140lbs+Prowler high handles 140lbs+Kettle ball swing idk weight. 10min. This was rough, legs kept giving out.
Notes: Same storie with green mag diff day. Im really enjoying this product. On another note I found out I was never contracting my core and getting really really tight under the bar on squats....ever. I finally did this today on my last set. Complete tunnel vision, bar felt like air, my form clicked in, seeing stars and kicking ass. Never felt that good squating ever.
 
Nice observation on the core. I have found today that my shoulders must be too tight to squat already. They just gave out. Couldn't even grasp the bar with 135.

You squat in a suit? That must be pretty interesting lol. I will probably always do raw as I lift so I can do other things well but must be pretty cool lol.
 
Ive never had the shoulder problems you mention. I also use to grip the bar with a low positiong wiht my hands right on the outside of my shoulders touching them lol. Try Joe Defrancos simple six, do it everyday and before you squat.

Im useing the inzer champion single ply, its not my suit but doesnt give me much more then 20-30lbs im guessing at this point since idk how to really use it. Im just using it bc I have a left hip flexor strain and Im letting it heal for now. Gear is to lift more weight but also provide support. Just bc Im in a suit it doesnt mean my raw squat is nothing? It has carry over both ways. You dont understand gear im guessing...
 
I understand the use of it to make for heavier lifts. I can't see ONLY lifting in a suit but yea if your doing pl meets and you are in a suited org then I guess you should so more suit squats as I hear the learning curve can be steep.

I'll try those exercise. Thanks!!

And heal up those hips. :)
 
Most PLing routines for gear dont have the guy lifting in gear the whole time. Unless your training for PLing gear really doesnt help.

Notes: Did not eat enough food yesterday and felt the effects today. I had good energy but my power wasnt there like normal. Overall everything was good after the press. Conditioning was improvised since my training partner couldnt make it today, and he owns the prowler. All good tho. Also I found out I suck at pendlay rows, which is good because now I can work on them more lol.

This log is just proof that a good, solid designer creatine can really help you bust through plateaus.

Are you looking forward to the Blue Gene? Tell me your thoughts on adding it in at this point?

Notes: Used lit-up today with my green mag and blue gene. Much better overall. Cant tell what blue gene is doing yet. But im still loving the effects of green mag. Next session I should be up to 5 tabs of blue gene. 20lb PR on BB Rows today. Need a big for a big bench! I think my back strength has about equaled my pressing strength now. Only did the min reps on press today since my chest/tris/delts where still fryed from monday and those cambered bar benches. Also the weighted chins using a belt where different. I wanted to see what it felt like.
 
Awesome that you've jumped into the BG!

Blue Gene does provide some clean energy, and pumps. There's no stims, but I find I need less of my preworkout drink when dosing Blue Gene. Can't wait to see how you like this one

Great workouts!

Well I have a good grasp on what Green Mag is doing for my training so it was time to add it in. So now I can tell the difference of what each product is doing.

I did notice the energy increase. As I would normally use about 1.5 scoops of White Flood but with the Green Mag and Blue Gene, 1 scoop was to much for me. 1 scoop Lit-up mixed a lil better for me tho lol.

So far after adding in Blue Gene ive hit a 20lb PR on my BB Row and I notice better energy levels, breathing, endurance. Only good things to come I believe. Ill try the Blue Gene/White Flood/Green Mag stack again. Prob sat.

Btw im loving the green mag.

Notes: Good session, had no spot on bench so unracking my last set my back wasnt as tight as im use to. But I got my reps anyways. However Im noticing that on chins/pull-ups I cant seem to fully contract my lats and rhombiods when I add the chain or dip weight. But bodyweight I can. This is something ive noticed for some time now. So ive decieded to increase the amount of bodyweight only reps I can do per sitting. So ill aim for 8 or something instead of 5 each time. And keep doing that until I can do like 10-15 with ease then add weight and restart. What do you guys think?
 
Hmm do you always workout alone? YOu could get up to that contracted point and have someone try to pull you down. Or you could do 1.5reps where you go one full rep then come down half way to "Recontract" your lats.

I have a training partner, sometimes our schedules dont mix. And I do full reps only on my main lifts. Idk the methods your talking about.

1.5 reps are usually done for back. You do the full lift, go back half way then pull again. I was just thinking that your weak point of not being able to hit the top of the weighted pull ups you can do body weight pull ups, hit the top then either have your training partner pull you down so your top part of the movement gets stronger, or you can do double the amount of that portion of the rep. It might work, only thing I can think of. Yea, as far as the main lifts you should stick to full movements. Could you imagine trying to do 1.5 reps on deads? that'd be pretty dumb...

Good luck though :)

Right? They hit the tris in pretty much the same spots as pressing does. The stretch is also unique. My tris are tourched today from them. Did you do them on a flat bench or an incline?

Flat bench. They hit them in the same spot that JM Press does for me, which is the insertion at the elbow. I was able to work up to 50x10 for 3 sets and my arms were done.

Wow nice job man. Yea I feel them there too on a flat bench. I usually do them on an incline since they get a deeper stretch and pull in more of the short head and a lil more of the long head too.
