Invalid Link Removed

Only took a picture of the first plate but, I had 28 pieces of sushi and a snickers bar

So my training tomorrow ought to be on point for doubles :)

Shooting for 305-315 for squat and 265 for bench :)
 
Cheat meal sucks. Ate four bites of a piece of pizza, 1/2 a pint of BNJ "everything but the.." And three cookies. Don't have an appetite and I'm feeling nauseous. Bleh.

What's that called? Sympathy sickness? Lol jk feel better.
 
Trust me from experience once a woman gets pregnant she is never the same again.
^^this! Sorry but it's true! lol Well worth it though! It's one of the best things you could ever experience--even if it is an emotional roller coaster! ....on a positive note- the 2nd trimester should be a little better!
 
Dem sushi gainz helped me move some serious weight today!

Bodyweight dips for 3 sets

*just want to point out the bar speed on both the squat and bench as well as the depth I had on them squats 8) flat knocked the bottom out lol I've got another video that shows the depth better if you all wanna see it. I had an awesome session! I'm still bloated from the sushi, snickers and gigantic cookie I made last night.. But, it was well worth it!
 
Awesome session!! Sushi was well used! ;)

dude your bench is massive.
 
That's what I'm saying. I can't double that right now, & I'm sitting at 220 every morning. It had really good speed; should be good for 305 at least.

Man I wish, a lot of it has to do with my set up, and my leg drive is decent as well. Everything was clicking tonight, just felt good and "right". I think the rep drops vs the load drop is paying off as well. My next training cycle I will do repeats, then back to load drops.

My training partner thinks I'm good for a 330 squat, and I need that to be A LOT higher. I don't care for bench honestly. I'd rather have a high squat and dead :D

I can wish for it but my Bench is going to hold over my number for awhile lls, honestly thinking about a meet in Feb

Grrrr, my hip locked up mid bench, my right quad had an odd tightness/pain where it ties into my hip so my front squats weren't exactly where I wanted today. Although I can't complain about the 225.

I made a protein cake tonight and chopped up a cliff bar and mixed it into the batter, and covered that dude in honey. Holy shizz that was a bad idea lol was WAYYY too sweet lol won't do that again.

I remember I made protein bars and used honey to sweeten them, I dumped about 5 tbsp of honey in there. Worst idea ever. It was so sweet, my stomach hated me for 3 days after.
 
you guys are crazy! I used to just take shots of honey straight from the bottle for a quick carb up pre workout or before a hockey game... looooveee it.

Lol i use to do it post workout. It was the mixture of the cake, cliff bar and the 40g of honey that made it ridiculously sweet

Half my hockey team had a honey bottle to use pregame or during intermission. Great for quick energy

CYCLE II
Reactive Training Systems

High bar oly squat - belt less
275x3 @8
285x3 @9
*Top set only, no back offs or load drops was having some knee pain on the knee I had surgery on

TNG bench press
275x3 @9
250x3 @9 BOS + 2ct pauses

Seated iso military press ("myo" reps aka rest pause) - plate loaded
70x21+6 +5

Added in a giant set of;
Db rear delt
Face pulls
Cable rear delt fly

Right now my training has been:
Monday- comp squat and comp bench
Tuesday- comp deadlift + supplemental bench + supplemental squat
Wednesday- off day
Thursday- supplemental squat + supplemental bench + accessory delt
Friday- off day
Saturday-accessory deadlift, accessory bench and whatever I feel like throwing in

Lately after my comp squat and bench day my tuesdays feel like trash. I think I blow my entire WOD on Monday because I'm slightly fatigued Tuesday. I'm thinking of training my lifting to:

Saturday- comp squat and comp bench
Monday- comp dead

Then continue with the rotation like above just loving days.
 
I would. I can't pull worth a **** the day after I squat. Hard to pull worth a **** a lot of days as it is; don't make it harder than it already is. Deadlift is a fickle mistress, and it can be brutal to perform week in and week out on a percentage system instead of an RPE like you use.

Yep. I hate deadlifts when doing my 5/3/1 training, which I have to do tonight at like 10pm...ugh.
 
Looking strong man. The deads looked better with the higher hip position too. Did it feel any different for u?

I love deadlifts, just not following my squat and bench day lol

yeah actually it did. Less glute and Ham, more lower back. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I need perfect it soon because i only have another month or so before the comp
 
Not anything impressive today really.

Sumo deadlift
365x3 @10 top set only, no BOS or rep drops

Incline bench press
205x7

Plate loaded tbar row (myo rep style)
90x 24+10+10 = 44 total reps

I tweaked my shoulder some how last night. Woke up with it hurting.. More than likely I slept wrong on it now that I think about it.
 
Keep busting it, Tyga! That comp is coming up! You're going to rock the place.
 
Are you pulling sumo at the meet? If not, 5 wks out is getting pretty close to be using an alternative style as a primary training stimulus...

no I'm pulling conventional. I squat with a narrow stance and pull with a narrow stance. My alternative/secondary pull is really just to give my lower back and quads a break.
Sleeping on my side is the ****ing death of me. Hopefully that's all it is for ya!
man I hope! I hooked my muscle stim onto my medial and rear delt yesterday for 20 minutes. Seemed to help a minute amount lol I'll probably do it again tonight
 
No lifting today. Sick as a dog :(
I may not lift tomorrow either, depends on how I feel.. If these meds kick in i will, but more than likely I won't

Solid session and we need maintenance days, hope your feeling better though!
 
You look awesome!!!!! Shoulders look smexxxxxxay!!!!
 
What bf you think you're at? I'm fatter than you right now, but not more than 5% more I'd say. I gotta be at least 20 atm. But I've decided to just hold 220 and steadily try to recomp at this weight for now - tired of my bench sucking, and being 220 has helped it out too much to give up.

Pulls looking fast brudda; glad you're doing better.
 
From an ultrasound my abdomen is 14.7% , quads 8% and chest 8%

The lighting is terrible, my top four abs are still visible lol what's great is through this bulk my love handles haven't grown lol still fit my weight belt in the last holes on it.
 
Shoulders looking wide as hell man.

Thanks bro. I've been hitting my rear delts after ever session and I think it's starting to pay off. Want that 3D look, this program has SO much pressing with little scap retraction/pulling.

Just curious what you're doing for rears? Seriously man you've got the 3d look started.

I don't train shoulders anymore, but when I did, I often enjoyed the rear delt horizontal pulley pulls and bent over pulley pulls (similar to a reversed pec deck motion).

Between those, deadlifts, and face pulls, I could create an entire workout.

Db rear flys, face pulls, high snatch rows and band pull aparts. That's it! I pick one exercise and add it to every workout

I might start doing this. Seems like an awesome method. How many sets/reps do you usually do?

4-5 sets
Reps I pyramid. 12-12-10-8-8
Usually pyramid the bb high snatch row, and Db rear flys.
Face pulls and band pull aparts I always do 15-20 reps

ya I usually stick to higher reps as well. 12+ for rear delts
 
Still Cubing it, and my routine is set up Dead/Light Bench/Squat/Heavy Bench on mon/wed/fri/sat - I just add an upper back movement to 3 or 4 of the 4 days each week, and that's worked awesome. 4-5 worksets of 8-15 reps usually (on top of the 5 sets of pullups I do after deadlifts).

Like it WAY better than a dedicated upper back day. Ain't nobody got time fo that. Plus it's more fun rowing more often.
