Jims Creatively Titled PNI Log

Had a fantastic workout. Almost wasn't going to go and was gonna use today as a recovery day but had a buddy ask me if he could try a pre workout (jack3d micro this time) and he made me feel like a bum because he was going and I was gonna sham out lol.

After I got there I was definitely glad I went. No ridiculous PR's but the MM connection was solid and I was all kinds of pumped up. Felt friggin GREAT! Actually looked pretty beefy in my XL fear no workout T-Shirt, it was all draped off of my shoulders and chest and you could see my traps straight through it leading down to my tiny little waist. I flew through it today as well, I was just chugging along.

Pre-Workout: 1.5 Scoop Prodigy (This is definitely the right amount for me lol)

Intra: Water/Gatorade Powder


14FEB Upper HT 2

OHP- 3x10

95x10, 95x10, 95x5 (lol what a shot to the ego, although my 1RM is only 145 :shrug: )

Pull-ups- 3x10
BWx10, BWx7+1, BWx7+2+1(assist)

a1. Chinese Rows- 3x12 // 45x12, 50x12, 55x12 (holy pump)
a2. 1/2 Kneel DB OHP- 3x10 // 40x10, 45x10, 50x10 (holy lactic acid buildup lol)

b1. Scapula Dips: 3x12 // BWx12, +20x12, +35x12
b2. BB Curls: 3x10 // 70x9, 70x7, 60x9
b3. DB External Rot.: 3x12 // 10x12, 20x12, 20x8
b4. Turkish Get-up: 3x3 // 45xF (2 R, 1 L), 35x3, 35x3 (per arm)


Felt like a straight monster on this one. Pull-ups were humbling (normally do Chins) and we did a few this morning with PT. Got a couple of nudes, I'm a terrible poser so give me a break, got one relaxed of the back and one attempt at a lat spread. I think they show some pretty good progress personally, especially considering all of the time I am being forced to undereat, undersleep, and undertrain (stupid 82nd lol)

Crappy day, my fuse has been short since last weeks field problem and I was about to explode at the gym. Nobody was even doing anything wrong but just having people around me was pissing me off today.
 
Everyone has days like that bud, it'll pass. You have a strong front squat man. Have you tried a hook grip on the snatch grips?

Thanks brother, supposed to time 40yd dash and do some sprint work tomorrow so hoping I don't feel like killing everyone when I wake up.

I haven't tried hook grip on any SG movements, only tried it doing conventional deads and my grip is actually weaker then. It might be because I have small hands (like tiny) or maybe I'm just a puss c.
 
Yeah it's definetly a weaker grip but I can usually pull a few sets hook grip on SG deads before I wuss out. It's definetly not a full grip and my thumb takes the brunt of it. I have zero ego issues throwing on straps for SG though....

I have some straps but didn't bring them or the chalk. Oh well my grip needed the extra work anyway.

I also forgot to mention that I am ridiculously sore! Like ridiculous.
 
Traps are starting to get freak mode! You have been beasting it brother! Wth are chinese rows??? I got to learn some new things lol

Lol when I ETS I'm growing all of that just because I can.

That pic was not long after it started it is just coming down, if only it were a weekday instead of a weekend.

This workout went great! Got a new workout partner and me and him are able to compete pretty well, he's got me on most flat presses and I have him on the Inclines and Standing. He's the reason I grabbed the 75's instead of 70's lol, he walks up after I did my first set and grabs 80's, pissing me right off lol.


Today's Update:

Not nearly as good as yesterday's, started late and was stressed out as I was leaving. My anniversary is coming up next month and I'm going to take my wife to the George Strait concert in Greensboro but can't find the seats I want (am debating between floor seats or just going for lower level but am not sure if floor is worth the extra $150 as I've never had floor seats). Couldn't find my chalk but my partner was waiting so I left without it, forgot my bands as well (AGAIN!)

Pre: 1.5 Scoop Prodigy, 1 Cap Paragon

Intra: basically nothing, was sweating like a pig too....

Trap Bar Deadlift: 4x10
225x10, 255x10, 275x5 (DAMN GRIP), 315x2 (AARGHH)

Supine March: 3x12 // BWx12x3
Monster Walk: N/A
Swiss Ball Roll Out: 3x12 // BWx12x3

Couldn't hold the 275 but figured "what the hell" and thought I could just reset my grip when necessary and keep going until I got the 10 on 315. I was WRONG. And unfortunately when I start focusing on my grip I lose focus and my lower back was taking too much of the load, there wasn't any rounding but it was less hip drive and more spinal extension. That's why we cut the superset short because both of our backs were cramping up HARD!

Did a lot of air squats this morning for PT and I was a little tight just getting started but it evened out after the first set. Oh well there is always next week :sad:
 
Damn bro killing it! Very good update and nice to see the volume booming!

Thanks bro!

Heading to the field next week (lame) and will be upping my kCal when I get back (will put me around 4500 a day)

Also, forgot to mention, my knee has been bugging me all week. Mixture of cold, wet, and stupid drills is not really doing it for me.

Sprints tomorrow (yippee), and my paper copy of the Juggernaut method should be coming in. Gonna steal some army printer paper (borrow indefinitely) and print my ebooks up to bring to the field :biglaugh:
 
Is it Juggernaut 2.0? I see that on their site but I have only read the original I believe and have no idea what the difference is...

And 4k cals? I feel small eating around 3k a day. :sad:

No its the original.

I plan to get the 2.0 after this coming field problem.

Lol I am small eating 4k! Everytime I get annoyed with the amount of food I need to grow I just thank God that I'm not breezy.....
 
Ya idk how he does it....and he is doing IF now! Fitting all that into an 8 hour window. :eek:
 
I tried the enormous breakfast thing like he used to do because he said it made the rest of the day easier.

:nono: Wasn't hungry all day.....

I moved that meal to post workout when I break my fast :). When it was first thing in the morning I'd have a couple sandwiches before 9am haha. You'd probably get used to it after a week or so. I was getting uncomfortably full with IF, but the feeling went away after a week.
