Yeah I know what you mean. I think I just did too much Monday so the soreness/damage was worse Thursday. I want to ease back in but not wait longer than I need to.
 
My jeep got finished today. It's been a long 5 weeks.

It's tough to just stop but u risk everything you've worked hard for by pushing to fast to soon. I would hate to read you were doing something simple and reinjured it and now can't press at all or never return to the great strength I see in this log
 
I know exactly what you guys mean. From my standpoint, I healed up, but wasn't 100% and pushed too fast. I got sore and inflammed some tissue again. So now I need to ease back into it again. Ease is the key word. I might just do some pushups or something monday, and if anything feels bad I will abort right away. I will not be going super heavy. I'm not going to rush it. I tried that once and it worked for what, 1 workout? lol.
 
Where do you live and what do want to build/do. If you have $$$ Jeep is putting out a diesel wrangler in the near future. haha. otherwise a 4bt swap is a common one, I have also seen a few with the jetta diesel engine. I'm more of an axle/suspension driveline guy, don't mess with engine swaps much. 4.0 is good enough for me.
 
Did live in Toledo were the wranglers are built now I'm just north.
there is a 4x4 track West of me everyone goes to every sat- sun in the summer you should see some of the Jeeps/trucks they drive and trailer up there they are pretty sweet a guy in town here has a 4 door one all jacked up really nice looking
 
Haha you would love some of my buddies. There is a lot more done to mine than meets the eye though ;) Big plans too, but it takes a lot of money.
 
No joke. You wana run with the big boys you are looking at 20k investment on top of vehicle plus a few grand in maintenance, breakage, and traveling expenses plus a truck and trailer if you don't have one.
 
D1W3C14 Back/bench BW-198.2 (holy crap)

Did lots of back work today, since I didn't really bench.... trying to rest.

Pullups - 5 sets of 10

BB/pendlayish row- UH 135x7,7 185x7,7 225x7, OH 185x7 10

band pull apart - blue - 3 sets of 20

cable seated/horizontal row with lat/straight bar - 8x10, 10x10,10,10, 15, 12x12

bench - 135x7,7,7

DB tri skulls- 35x12,12,20

cable tris - 10x15, 12x15

pushups - 20

finally got a semi clean diner tonight. pasta and chicken, a beef and turkey and cheddar quesadia, a little mini pastrami and swiss sandwhich, 2 hardboiled eggs, and some german chicken. protein shake + 2 cups of milk after

Had a busy day with an anatomy quiz, sports psychology quiz, and functional anatomy exam. But everything went well. I noticed I'm gaining weight... although I have been eating less/cleaner... I am thinking about changing up the diet even more if the less food/cleaner doesn't slow down my gains/let me recomp. I don't wana cut by any means but I got some belly fat I could spare. I'm itching to get back to bench next week. I think I will just do shoulder mobility thursday, and try 225 next week on my "deload week".... I'm gona do a semi heavy deload for squat and dead. Then the week after look at trying around 275/normal weights on bench. Playing the cards as they fall but not rushing the shoulder/chest.
 
Lol I kinda skipped it... I feel like NO movement in there is bad... like it feels good for a few days, and the longer I don't use it I start to get a weird feeling... supposed to do light exercises/ROM stuff to heal the muscles/tendons etc correctly... that's the whole point of "physical therapy" I just can't be dumb and over do it. I think some light slow reps at 135 will be beneficial and stimulate some healing in there.
 
Today is going to be a good deadlift day, I can feel it.
 
So I ate a bit cleaner today than usually, and IMO less. Had oatmeal and 2 eggs w/ cheese this morning at 9:30, at 12:30 I had 2 chicken patties, a steak and cheese sandwhich, and a bowl of chicken potpie. Sucky options today sadly. Still, not bad. Natadrol is going well and I have had no digestion issues or anything else with it.

PS my bis and traps are sore as hell from all that back work. Lol. I actually got a bad bi/brach cramp last night. And my brach/brachioradialis hurts now too, just sore tho I think.
 
So the callous peeled off Nd started healing but reopened underneath again. I have a Deload next week so it should heal... Distracted me so bad this session because it hurt like hell. Also more blood for you gorey types.

Full update after I eat. Gota make a work meeting.

True. If your workout produces blood or puke than that's a session to be proud of.

Yeh too bad it doesn't feel good as destroys me hand/grip lol. Idk why it's cutting inside my hand like that.


D2w3c14. Dead. Bw-195.6

Deads. Warm up. Bar. 135x7,5. 225x5,5. 315x3. 415x5. 465x3 515x1 545x1,1

Back extension 170x12 4 sets.

Core.

515 was supposed to be 525 but it wouldn't fit on the bar. So I did jokers. I felt great going in but my hand and back and shoulder/bi made the session more about pain than anything. I have vid of 545, I need to keep my back a little tighter/arched but I hit back hard yesterday so it was weak. Meh. It's better than it was but can still improve. I think last weeks good workout took a toll on me for this week. And my quads were still sore from Fridays squats, so I felt a little weak there.
 
Back breakdown was too much in both sets IMO but worst on the last set.

Also gota tell you about my attempts at bands and blocks
 
Damn. That rounding made me cringe. Moved fast tho.

Did you try Dave's salt trick? Razor blades work well too just scrape off excess
 
jimbuick said:
Is it just me or was that a hitch??
Click to expand...
Hitch is resting the weight/pausing any weight onto the legs/bouncing. Most fed rules I have read clearly state dragging the bar up the thighs is legal. If it keeps moving, it's not a hitch. Definitely a tough lockout though.

Sean1332 said:
Hm too close for comfort if it wasn't one. I could see a judge calling the second one a hitch maybe.
Click to expand...

See above. And I agree a judge might call it but, my meet lifts don't/haven't looked like that so no worries. I did that last one after 15 minutes of trying to set up bands that turned out different lengths and trying to use matts for blocks but it kept rolling off. I gave up and his another single and felt a little cold.

It's not open... it's just a callous and bleeding underneath, I think the bone/joint of my finger is cutting into my hand...

That's actually not bad rounding for me... lol. I don't do it when I'm rested or not fatigued/lighter weight but my last sets are usually like that. Which is what I'm trying to fix. Back doesn't want to flatten out. I do have a goot bit of meat back there and if you draw a line from pelvis to neck and ignore the body, it actually doesn't look as bad. Honestly it's basically natural spin arch, but I'd like to see it flatter. Invalid Link Removed




EDIT: I definitely need to get a flatter back, I am not gona argue that. I need to get my hips inside my legs but it's hard with a narrow stance. So I gota figure that one out, and get the hams stronger to hold my hips down there til I break the ground. And work on lock out, although I think that will come with starting my hips in a better position.
 
I'd agree on the rounding, and like Jim mentioned, a fed like the USAPL might call that a hitch bc it looks like ramping, I've seen it called like that.

Do you always roll the bar to get set up?
 
No, I hate rolling the bar. I think that's part of my issue. But w/ my hand cut up and these bars are bigger than normal and have chroming on them.. I can't hold on w/ out straps. And I hate leaning over wrapping the straps then trying to get into position, I find rolling it in easier/more comfortable when I have to use straps. I don't know if I have read USAPL rules but I have never heard of ramping before, but I am still learning. Goals for the next few weeks:

flatter back, tighter core, slightly lower hips, bring my grip back in on the bar, and work on lockout. I need to film a fresh heavy rep for you guys sometimes. Like my meet reps look much better because I'm fresh. I was scrappin to put these reps up for sure. I think I need to wider my stance back out a little, I was going narrow today, been playing with width's affect on my leg drive and glute activation and wasn't really feeling it tonight. Gona widen out and get my toes out a touch.

I don't recommend rolling the bar unless you're fat and struggle to get into setup. I can see what you're saying on straps, I have homemade straps that just require a pass through and tighten and good to go.

I don't think ramping is an official term, just something I've used and heard to describe that.

If you improved your initial start position, it would yeild a better finish position and no need for the pseudo-hitch.
 
I agree. I don't like rolling it. I get set up after I roll it. Quit making up terms! hahah. I agree with you 100% If you watch my meet vids, I usually have much better hip position. Mine rose today bad, and I said before I posted them they were shytty. lol. I prob should have filmed my work sets. I felt beat today, it's week 3 and my body is beat up. week 1 of next cycle I will shoot some film when I am healed up/rested. Definitely will help with lockout. I don't even think I need to go wider per se on the stance, just get my toes out a little and screw them in to get some hip activation. I wasn't getting back on my heels right today either. Just crappy form all around tonight and not pleased w it, and it's becoming more common than not which I don't like.


This is what I'm seeing on USAPL reasons for DQ:

4. Supporting the bar on the thighs during the performance of the lift. If the bar edges up the thigh but is not supported this is not reason for disqualification. The lifter should benefit in all decisions of doubt made by the referee.


EDIT: I'm stupid, I didn't have my shouders retracted at all. If I pull them back and down like I am supposed to, I always keep a flatter back and it lets me keep my hips down. stupid things like that, are what mess me up anymore. I'm gona do some solid form practice next week on deload week.
 
That's what I call ramping: "if the bar edges up the thigh but is not supported this is not reason for disqualification."

I knew a guy who ramped everything exaggerated, got called for hitching when he competed USAPL.
 
So, ramping is edging up the thigh WITHOUT supporting?

Then it's legal?

I can see it getting called for hitching, but IMO that's why you see guys tugging. IMO if it's a smooth pull, no matter how slow, up the leg, it's legal.

My plan? Just make sure my lockouts are fast and strong so I don't have to worry about it.
 
So I just played with stance a little and I was setting up like an idiot today. Wtf is my problem. Literally I know better than that... Shoulders were wrong, core was wrong. Stance and grip were wrong. Hips were closed. Weight not on heels. Back not flat. I need to be smart not just muscle the weight up. I'm better than that.
 
At the last meet I did, Gene distinctly described ramping in the rules meeting (he called it the "Russian Leg Press") and said we would have none of it. Several pulls were redlighted for what you did there.
 
Fair enough, and RPS rules only state "supporting the bar" so that could definitely be his thoughts/interpretation. Also, you can't really see the bar/my legs in this video. I don't really think it needs discussed, because like I said, I don't plan on doing that in a meet. If I have to squeeze out a slow rep and drag it up my thighs, I will. I see no other way to get the bar to lockout... do you? I think the second one is definitely close to a hitch... but the bar didn't stop, only slowed down. When you guys who sumo pull the bar to finish and it slides up the tighs slowly, do you call it a hitch?
 
There's only one legal way. You lock your knees and squeeze your ass until you're upright. You can argue the letter of the law all you want, but the facts of the matter are that every rulebook reads nearly exactly the same, but the enforcement between feds simply isn't the same. The bar doesn't have to stop or even slow down to get called for ramping. A lot of guys generate a lot of speed that way.
 
I agree man, I'm not trying to argue. I need to get the knees locked out and finish with the back, but when I am setting up stupid like that, I am setting myself up for a hitch. I need to fix that.
 
It's true. Sometimes we cheat positioning to get more speed off of the floor, but it makes for an impossible lockout.

Orrrrr I just suck and get hyped to lift and don't think about setting up and assume I'm doing it right. Lol. If I actually get set up right ill have a lottttt more power off the floor. Cheating is never good.
 
That gym has a 3 dollar "drop in" day saturday... I may stop out. If I think I'm going, I'll probably go out there and squat. I'm trying to get my buddy who used to powerlift from home to go too.

Nm man. Trying to heal and get stronger.


D3w3c14. Bench. Be-195.8

Warm up.

Bench Barx lots of reps/sets. 135x7 5 sets. 185x7,3,3

Chin up- 3 sets of 7

Deadlift form 135x - a billion. Fixed some stuff but gosh dang my back will not lay flat. Tight hams? Just tight back?

Db skulls -30x10, 35x10,15

Not bad. Shoulder feels alright. I went easy on back because my left bi/brachioradialis is all torn up from Monday. I'll do light Monday gain since its Deload and maybe 135 Thursday. And then try 225 the following week. Then go off feel.
 
This is how I looked 7 months ago. Hahaha. Had the PL gut even then! I need to adopt it. I just fear a lot of visceral fat because beer bellies are like hereditary in my family on dads side... lol, but they barely drink. Invalid Link Removed
