Friday's ME Lower work:

Pre: 4 IGF2, 2 Uncut, 3 Drive
Intra: Gatorade + MBCAA+ mix

Warmup: Squat to stands, shoulder mobility work with band, BR hip flexor stretch

Front Squat: 95x3, 135x3, 185x3, 225x3, 275x1 (225 felt easy, thought I could do this for 3. It was slow moving so I called it at 1)

Weighted Lunges: 135x5 (per leg), 155x5, 165x5

Stiff Legged Rack Pulls: 185x20, 275x11

Notes: Was supposed to do some specific core work, but it was an early morning session (for me anyway) and me and the training partner were both pretty depleted after this. Didn't get anything done today (besides seeing Iron Man 3 ) so I will be doing mobility/conditioning work tomorrow. The plan is to implement some rowing (to offset my pressing in a 2:1 ratio), sled pulling/pushing, core, and posterior chain work. Nothing ridiculous, but enough to get the blood flowing and breathing heavy.

Also, it may be worth mentioning that 275x1 is probably a PR for the Front Squat (I can't say for certain, it has been a while since I've maxed out on Front Squat). :thumbsup:

Chevy for the win

Chevy for the win

Really?

I'm more of a ford man myself, but I got it from a friend so I knew what kind if shape it was in. And the price was good (along with pure necessity lol)

Definitely a nice truck though. She's been well maintained.

I'm just a fan of trucks in general but have owned 2 Silverados. Both named the red rocket

I actually rear ended a 2013 Benz with my Red Rocket. Benz's tail end-smashed, Red Rocket-dented bumper

Nice leg day brother! I love leg day it hurts so damn bad but feels oh so damn good!!

 

[jimbuick]

Who goes to the gym on Sunday?!

<----- Apparently this guy does.

Intra: Same mix as always lol

WarmUp: Dynamic Track, Foam Roll lower body/lats, Band Pulldowns, Assisted Hip Openers, Band Assist Hammie Stretch, 2x30yd Bounds

KB Rows: 44#x10x3

Upright Sled Pulls: 90#(+sled)x60yds

Notes: Good training session. Felt good afterwards, but shortly after felt like my blood sugar was low. Found some licorice strips at walmart and opened them up and ate some. Felt fine after having a couple (or 20). Hit up the barber for a haircut afterwards and then ate some chipotle.

 

[packers6211]

Hell yeah man that is wth I'm talking about pimp daddy you got me fired up. I just posted my log today to lol. Took the Mrs. to eat with kids then drop her off to spend time with her mom, while I hit gym for back day and track for mile jog and then sprints off steps. For me the weekends the best due to no one else being around.

Nice catch. Love it when you can find something pre owned that you KNOW was maintained well

 

[RegisterJr]

Nice work, Jim!

I'm already thinking about putting a 400 in it lol.

And working the exhaust until it shakes my houses windows.

Nice work, Jim!

Thanks guys! Gunning for 198!

First week of my 3 week Pendulum wave for DE. It went well, did a complex to warm up and went straight into the DE sets, the weight seemed to move faster as I got deeper into the exercise.

Pre: 3 Drive, 5 Uptake, 2 Uncut
Intra: SSDD

WarmUp:
MB Keg Tosses: 30x6x2
Assisted Hip Open: x2 (per leg)x2
Box Jump: x4x2

Box Squats: 6x3@50%
176x3x6

Walking Lunges: 132x5(per leg), 154x5, 176x5

SSB Good Morning: 108x8, 152x5, 152x6, 174x6

KB Front Carry (Different carry position each set): 88x60ydsx3

For the walking lunges I kept a shorter stride to put more strain on the quadriceps. The lower dose of uptake really allowed me to feel my glutes activate more on the GMs because of the pump. The weights moved easily enough, the only rest we got on each exercise was enough to change the weight, so we were motoring. Never really found myself particularly out of breath, my breathing is easier while using Drive/Uncut so I notice that I don't have to wait as between sets.

1st + last of the Box Squat:

Glutes are feeling good right now. Squats felt good enough, tried lifting my feet off on the 3+4 set, but it slowed me down and was awkward.

I've yet to do GMs with a SSB, just straight and 14" cambered. I suppose it's about time I change that.

They're a little awkward at first (at least they were for me) but turned out to be great.

 

[herderdude]

Jim, have you tried sitting back further on the box to get your shins past parallel, a la Westside? I know when I started using bands around my knees on my warmups, sitting back on the box became much more natural and they helped carry over to better squatting form.

I hadn't, but I will next week.

I'm not sure how well sitting that far back translates to raw squatting though. How have your results been with sitting farther back?

 

[herderdude]

I happen to like it. I think it gives a better feel for sitting back in the squat. But my main form issue is just that, not sitting back. If your heavy squats don't pitch you forward, I'm not sure box squats have any carryover for raw squatters.

I can't say I generally have an issue sitting back (at least not one I'm aware of lol). I agree, I think the box squat is more suited to geared lifters.

 

[PalmFist]

So you're saying you don't have an issue with sitting on it... So juvenile sometimes

 

[jimbuick]

Went to the field today and ran some receiver routes (sprints).

pre: 2 uncut, 5 uptake, 3 drive
Intra: SSDD


Started with "X" drills (40yd)

3 total, 2 for time (10.38, 10.55) and learned that I need to work on my acceleration, and agility.

Then spent 30 minutes straight running slants, gos, curls, and posts.

 

[jimbuick]

DE Upper: 16MAY13

Pre: 3 Drive, 3 Uncut, 3 Uptake
Intra: Do I really need to repeat this?

Bench Press: 6x3@55% (125#) : 125x6x3 (2xthumb from smooth, 2xpinkie on ring, 2xmiddle finger on ring)

JM Press: 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5 (PR), 175x4 (My wife said these looked more like CGBP, but I didn't get it on video lol)

a1. Wide Grip Pulldown: 90x8, 100x8, 100x7
a2. Low Pulley Face Pull: 80x8, 120x8, 140x7

Koklov Press: 95x8, 105x4, 95x7

Trap Bar Rows: 65x8, 85x8, 115x7, 135x8


Notes: Will have to try 3 caps a few more times before I can make a judgement on it. I can't say that I notice a sudden rush of energy with uncut, if anything at all it's just that I have the ability to continue lifting. It will be easier to weigh on it when I run out lol. My breathing is less labored when exercising as I continue using the drive (and possibly uncut as well). First week of DE went well, added some extra rowing volume because I didn't do any during my GPP. Feeling good, the pump was good after the superset. Biceps were hurting as I walked to the rack for the Koklovs (which are awful by the way).

Will update this with video links when they finish uploading to youtube. Got the first set of each hand grip for the DE Bench, and the first set of Koklovs on video. (yes, I know I make funny faces when I'm straining myself).

Good speed on that bench man.

Can you get your hands to the collars for the Koklov?

 

[iparatroop]

Do you have issues with your left shoulder?

Probably, I put them out there originally but it was slightly uncomfortable.

On that note.

Do you have issues with your left shoulder?

Yes, it's the one I strained a few weeks back. (Might have been a month or two now)

Didn't feel any pain today, but I'm assuming you saw something I didn't see...

Only thing I saw, and it may have been the angle of the cam, but it seemed as though your left side was slightly lower than your right. Form and speed looked good to me, but it looked like you were favoring, or stronger on your right side, if you will (referring to bench only).

I'm assuming iPT was commenting in regards to what seemed like an imbalance during bench...

I'll have to watch them. I appreciate the insight, now that I look for it I'm sure I'll see it.

It's possible that I'm tucking that elbow more in an effort to save the RC. Or it might just be weak. Whatever it is though, it's something I'll need to fix.

 

[jimbuick]

I see it.


I honesty couldn't say if it was camera angle or imbalance.

I'll get videos again next week and see if I do it again.

 

[iparatroop]

I see it.

Yeah, I couldn't tell either, but I saw it. Knowing that you strained your shoulder, it makes it more likely that you were favoring it. Not negative criticism at all, so please don't take it that way.

I'm hoping my wife just sucks at filming lol.
