KLEEN - STRONG BODY STRONG MIND!

I agree with him 100%. Yoke is a **** exercise. It carries massive injury risk with very little reward. Front carriess and farmers carries are superior in every way. Still, squat stands or a yoke could still be a good investment. Yoke is great for loads (sandbag over bar) and has a small footprint for squat/bench/OHP.

Yeah, this was part of what I was looking at too. However I would basically be giving away a Marcy Squat and Bench Combo to make room for the Yoke.
In reality here if not carrying the yoke it would only provide me a bar in which to put the sand bag over. I can do that by putting a barbell in the JHooks of my power rack.

Tuesday push work

Low incline Bench - Bar x 30, 95x15, 135x6, 155x6, 185x6, 225x5, 245x5, put on slingshot 255x5, 275x5, 285x5, 295x3, 305x3, 315x3 - the “flat” setting on this bench is like having 1 or 2 weight plates under a flat bench. So just a slight incline.

Standing OHP - Bar x 15, 95x8, 135x8, 145x8, 155x6, 165x6, 175x6, 185x3 These felt good and i was happy to make it up to 185 after pushing that hard on bench!

Rope Triceps extensions - 4 plates x 30, 5p x20, 6p x12 6px9, 4p x13 Worked up to a nice heavy-ish weight for 2 sets in the 6-12 rep range then dropped weight waited 30 seconds and repped out.

 

[MrKleen73]

Last nights workout was a good one, I enjoyed it and my elbow is not really any worse for the wear today. I figured I would separate the push and pull this week and see if one cause more pain than the other.

I was happy with hitting 315 for a triple with no spotter that means I was decently comfortable with the weight. I wasn't trying to fail at any point. Bench felt good and strong, I found a nice grip that agrees with my shoulder and my elbow. Also bringing the slingshot out to play was great. I think I am going to start using it a lot more often. It is kind of like a safety net for my shoulder and it really helps with lockout which can be harder for me since I have really long arms. I am only 5'8 but have a 73.5 inch reach so yeah me an the almighty SilverBack have that in common too!

Too I say, you might be wondering what the other thing I have in common is... I tend to grunt and point a lot to communicate with my mate!

Diesel's Ready4War & NOS Precursor Combo 1st impressions

I want to give a 1st impression review of Ready 4 War combined with the NOS Precursor for my workout last night.

I ended up taking a total of 3 Ready 4 War last night and 4 of the NOS Precursor. I was dragging and wasn't feeling like getting my workout in so I was really needing some external Oomph to get me going. I took 3 R4W and 4 NP 1 hour prior to my workout, and felt a very gradual increase in my energy and motivation levels. I won't lie at first it was creeping in so slowly I wasn't sure if it was going to be strong enough to jolt me out of my mental fog.

At the 1 hour mark I had elevated energy levels but honestly not a lot to speak about and had me wondering how my workout was going to go. Rather than try to force things I want to the garage and started doing some other preparations and warming up a bit. I got really focused in on finding myself some music to get me moving and motivated. After a few more minutes out there doing minor things and preparing things for my workout I noticed I was pretty much krumping as I was setting up everything for my workout. I was feeling my angry man rap so I just decided to keep on krumping and what not until I was nice and warmed up.

I wasn't pushing the pace with the workout but wasn't being slow about it either. I found that as I got further into the workout that I just kept getting more and more energy. So I had to literally slow down and pace myself a little as I was trying to do some more load focused work than just focusing on volume and pump.

Anyway I just kept on pushing things, and the weight just kept going up. I just kept adding set after set increasing the weight and lowering reps until I finally reached what felt pretty close to a 3 rep max. As close to it as I was willing to try without a spotter... Anyway after several sets of bench I still had plenty in the tank to hit up Standing OHP and pushed that for several sets, again never wanting for energy. Actually feeling it stronger in the middle of the workout.

As for rep ranges these were not Pump rep ranges by any means, however the NOS Precursor seemed to have done it's job because I had a pretty good pump going on in my chest and shoulders. When I hit up triceps at the end and let the reps climb up into a little higher range the pump on my triceps got pretty insane.

I was up until about 11:30PM from this, which happens on occasion with all of my pre-workouts except the ones that come with an associated crash. Which at night is actually something I like, but R4W does not wear off that quickly, there is no crash or was not for me.

I plan to try 2 around 5:00-5:30 then 1 when I get home from work and then lift closer to 7 and see if ends up giving me more oomph at the beginning, and finished it off a little earlier in the evening.

I have a feeling these might become something I use on my weekend workouts as they did seem to take a while longer to kick in for me, and definitely lasted a while. I will try offsetting the dose as mentioned above to see if it makes it more appropriate for me to use in the evenings.

I really enjoyed it once it kicked in and I felt great the whole workout. I did have to excuse myself to go to the restroom and have a preworkout induced dump after shoulder pressing... Held it until i finished OHP because I didn't want to break up the flow between sets. Not sure if it was the hard work or holding things in that got me sweating at that point.

Does the CoQ amplify the preworkout in some way? It looks like it could free up some test, and increase blood flow a bit. Just wasn't too sure about getting an erection in the middle of my workout. LOL

I believe it is due to the increase in blood flow, I know I am hornier on this stack !!

 

[MrKleen73]

Yesterday ended up being a HORRIBLE for food consumption for me. I was easily 1500 calories low by the time I left work, and had nothing left for doing my dead lifts. I was so weak, and hungry for food by the time I got home working out was simply out of the question.

So.... I left myself in a decent deficit for the day and rested up to get a beast of a session in tonight. I started my morning out with a good breakfast, I took 2 caps of GlycoShield, waited 45 minutes and than ate 4 organic free range hard boiled eggs, 1 everything bagel, 2 tbls jalapeno cream cheese and 1 small greek yogurt. Fueling up to make sure I have an excellent pulling session tonight!!!

It is a heavy session this time and I think I am going to work up to an RPE 10 , or 3 rep max this time around. I am hoping to beat the 495x3 I did two weeks ago. Goals are 505 or 515x3 but if 505 goes well and 525 feels like it might be there it is going to get tested. Today's feeding will reflect that I am eating a surplus for this performance, and not for fat loss although I am also not eating poorly.

More than likely I will toss in some pull ups and biceps work and then may toss in medial and rear delts. If not then Arms and shoulders will get their own day Saturday.

Yo, old guy, shoot me your email address. I have an ebook you may be interested in reading.

 

[MrKleen73]

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a pretty decent one but man did I light my elbow up!!!!

So, I wasn't exactly sure what it was I was doing that was really lighting up my "tennis elbow" I had tested it on the pushing the workout before and was able to get to some decent weights without causing much more pain. With no extra pain there, I was thinking that perhaps the problem was in the prone grip with elbow flexion under weights. IE Rowing and or Vertical pulling. I WAS WRONG!!!!

It turns out that it was just using the full force of my grip pulling heavier deads. It wasn't as noticeable last time I went through a heavy dead workout because I had my versa grips and they kept me from being in too much pain. When used correctly they really alleviated a lot of the stress of the grip through leverage of that little flap.

Anyway, I forgot my versa grips which I normally put on as soon as I hit 405 double overhand for one set without them then they go on. Well I didn't have them this day and there was simply no way I was not going to deadlift. Looking back I wish I had left to go get them, found some chalk from someone, or maybe even just done cardio but nonetheless it was still a good workout.

Conventional Deadlift - 135x10, 225x5, 315x5, 405x3, Switch to over under grip 465x3, 495x2 - callous almost ripped off due to no chalk and grip slipping so I put it down. I definitely had 3 in me but it wasn't worth ripping the callous and interrupting training to recover from.
Sumo Dead Lifts - 405x5, 405x3, 315x6
Conventional Dead Lifts 315x12, 315x10, 315x10 - HOLY CRAP!!! I was just covered in sweat at this point.

Rest periods got cut in half once I got to the Sumo's, so about 90 seconds there and around 3 minutes for the heavier conventional sets.

I could feel that my elbow was not too happy with me, and my callous' were screaming at me not to do any more pulling or they were coming off so I opted for only lower body stuff and some abs to finish out the workout.

Adductor Machine - 6 sets - worked up to as heavy as I could go for 8-12 reps with the top 4 work sets in the 130-180lb range

Abductor Machine - 6 sets - worked up to as heavy as I could go for 8-12 reps with the top 4 work sets in the 140-210lb range

Toes To Bar 4 sets to failure Set 1 = 14, Set 4 = 5 Reps fell from highest point of 14 down to 5 over the 4 sets.

My elbow was feeling things a bit at the end of the workout but to be honest at that point the callous that almost came off was so sensitive to touch it was all I paid attention to.

I knew my elbow wasn't doing too well so I filled a large bowl with a bunch of ice and made an ice water bath for my elbow and soaked in it until I went numb. About 15-20 minutes. Fast forward to Saturday morning and I wake up to my elbow aching so bad, it actually surprised me. It did not want to straighten out and was swollen enough on the inside to make the elbow stiff. I put some topical stuff on it to get more bloodflow into the area, and then went and found my voodoo floss and flossed the elbow area twice a day both Saturday and Sunday. It is feeling a little better but I have work to do on it.

I also need to figure out how to adjust training not to aggravate this but in a way I can still make progress. I will do some more flossing on it daily but I also ordered a RollFlex SMR tool to I can really do some focused work on the area.

I think I may put deads on the back burner for 2-3 weeks then reintroduce once I have some of the "heat" off of the area. We shall see.

Oh by the way, here was an impromptu lunch that became available to me today, so I put my prepped food in the fridge and went with this yummy place of chicken, beef, and veggie kabobs I have 2 of each in this pile. Can't really complain here, about 8-10 oz of lean meats, and veggies with a little olive oil.

I can not make any promises about where my training will go while my elbow is like this but I am going to just adjust and move on. Right now is a leaning phase. So I can focus more on that and not so much building or strength if I need too.

Food and training look awesome. Hope the elbow chills out for you. Gotta focus on what you can do.

 

[MrKleen73]

Bump.

Thanks Jim! I am going to read it on my way to California this afternoon.

It's tuff getting old!

Yep, it's a challenge but we love challenges, just not all of them. I'll figure it out.

THat is an awesome looking plate of food!

Thanks it was very good!

Food and training look awesome. Hope the elbow chills out for you. Gotta focus on what you can do.

Thanks, it is already improving with the icing and flossing. I am about to light it up here at my desk then hit it with some ice a while after that. I froze some water in a paper cup yesterday so I could make a real ice thing for an ice massage. It seems to work much better than just putting an ice pack on for 15-30 minutes.

I was enjoying pulling until I stopped... then it was obvious it was the massive grip requirements that were causing the elbow distress.

Monday night was not an off night, and I am traveling this week, so I simply did not take it off. I decided I was going to hit upper body without stressing the elbow much at all. I did some triple set complexes of a lot of different things and even made some up stuff or modified other movements to target the areas I wanted without causing any undue elbow stress.

I would say most of the exercises were all done as pump sets in the 12-35 rep range, moving up in weights and pushing heavier throughout.

Effort level was kept high for all work sets!!! They were all taken close to failure, or into partial ROM before sets were stopped.

Pec Deck and Straight Arm Pull Downs were pushed from high rep ranges all the way down to 6-8 reps and then back up into the 15-25 rep range.

Shoulders were the main focus here follow by vertical pulling.

Warm Up - 3 songs worth calisthenics and Dynamic Stretching
Banded Triceps / Biceps / and forearm warm ups - 5 minute circuit of various movements getting even more blood into the elbow...

Trap Bar Shoulder Press 45x25, 95x20, 115x3 - elbow barely tweaked, but I called it off there. No need to risk anything...

Wide Grip Barbell Upright Row - Bar x30 x2 sets

This next part was really kind of a never ending complex were i added movements in and out while keeping the lat pull downs in the whole time as the vertical pulling was left out on deadlift day. Rather than be to technical about order or anything else I am just going to post up the different exercises, approximately how many sets of them I did during the circuit as well as rep ranges and style used. I would say during this "rest periods" were 15-30 seconds between movements if even 30.

Straight Arm Lat Pull Down 8-10 sets - were pushed from high rep ranges all the way down to 6-8 reps and then back up into the 15-25 rep range.
Machine Lever Upright Row - Prone grip - Handles positioned Centerline of body - 3 sets rep ranges 15-30
Pec Deck - 6 sets - - were pushed from high rep ranges all the way down to 6-8 reps and then back up into the 15-25 rep range.
Machine Lever Upright Row - Supinated grip - Handles positioned Centerline of body - 3 sets rep ranges 15-30
Rope Triceps Ext 6 sets 12-25 reps
Machine Lever Upright Row - Wide Neutral grip - Grabbing outside of handles - Handles positioned Centerline of body - 3 sets rep ranges 15-30
Empty Barbell Curls - 5 sets almost to failure - bottom half only, constant tension - (going beyond 90 put pressure on the elbow in the fully supinated position.)

You don't see a lot of obvious biceps work here but both the Supinated and Wide Neutral Grip Upright Rows worked both the biceps and brachialis quite well the way they were performed. On all of those I found an excellent angle to work the medial and rear delts, and each grip worked them at a slightly different angle.

I finished off with a little improvised Sling Shot Delt work that just fried my shoulders!!! About 30 seconds rest between sets here.

SlingShot Pull Aparts - 4 sets performed until ROM got very small- talk about a way to add maximum tension to a band pull apart!!! Brutal work on rear delts!
Slingshot Medial & Rear Delt Raises - 6 sets performed until ROM got very small - I set myself up in the slingshot with my arms down at my side, the top of the slingshot was around my zyphoid process. From there crunched down my abs, and then I raised my arms out to the side as far as possible, working the angle of the pull to really focus on medial delts but the entire yoke was involved! This might be my new finisher for delts when working out at home! Just phenomenal!

 

[MrKleen73]

Diet for the rest of the week is going to be kind of reactive to my environment while I am traveling. I plan on keeping things simple by doing some intermittent fasting. This way I can go out and enjoy some nice dinners in San Francisco. My goals will be to keep protein over 150, and calories in the 1500-3000 range. That should help me as far as making a little progress or at least not regressing.

I stayed home and in with the wife last night instead of trying to get my leg workout in a day early. She is definitely more important!

The AirBnB I am renting out has a gym, but I do not know what all they have there or how complete it is. So I have no idea what the workouts may look like. I am hoping they have something adequate to give me a nice leg workout tomorrow. I can make whatever they have work but a squat rack / smith machine, or leg press sure would be nice!

there's no shortage of gyms on the west coast, espeically inthe big cities so if nothing else, im sure you can get a day pass somewhere

True that, and probably a better idea! I was thinking convenience, but I bet I can find one pretty close to the high rise, or office. Going to check on that now...

[MrKleen73]

I was planning to lift today but I am so exhausted! Flight got into San Francisco a few hours later than expected and then because it was late when I finally went to bed I was so anxious I wouldn't wake up that I couldn't fall asleep. I spent most of the night tossing and turning worrying if I was going to wake up for work... Now I am wearing down as I sit here at my desk. I honestly think I may order food in and stay in my room on the couch tonight. I feel like I could knock out right here at my desk right now...

We shall see how I feel once I get "home" but I feel like it will be a rest and recover night for me. I can't imagine getting a good workout in right now. I have tomorrow to sight see if I want, and can definitely hit up a workout then. Probably in the morning after some good sleep. here is to hoping I get a second wind, but if not I am okay with trying to rest up so I am not exhausted.

 

[Rocket3015]

Take a break !!

 

[MrKleen73]

Take a break !!

Yes Sir! I know I need it but I am in that competitive not wanting to miss a workout mode. I know you are right though. If I run myself down then I can't be as productive even if I am working hard. Funny just seeing you respond that way was like "Yes!!! Maybe I am being smart and not lazy..." It is hard to tell when you get into a competitive headspace and don't want to back off if you don't have too.

 

[MrKleen73]

Speaking of being tired... Things are slowing down here at work if nothing else is going on in 15 minutes I am heading home 30 minutes early...

If it is any consolation, I am in the same competition thread and I will only be lifting once out of every three days....I should be easy to beat....

We3ll your goals are leaning up and getting strong. So diet and activity is most of what you need, a full body with strength focus every 3rd day is plenty for that goal.

Hey chris! Better late than never... Im gonna follow along in here for some good old fashioned weight room wisdom

Hey how's it going! Welcome!!!

flying wears me out! don't know why you don't do crap the whole time.

Right

Forced rest days... do the body good... ( in fact, you likely told ME that lol)

It most definitely might be. However I don't train as frequently as you. Although this is probably good for my elbow. That being said I will still probably lift after work. Not really in a sight seeing mood. Probably go to the apt, workout then crush a big ass meal! If I do it will more than likely be a full body pump workout. If not then I am just chilling and that is okay too!

haha you guys are doing it all wrong! I get about 20% of my weekly sleep on airplanes

I wanted to sleep on the plane just couldn't do it. I am waking up at 3:45 AM here because I usually get up at 5:45 in Houston... add restless sleep if any and tiredness ensues. Feeling alright today though. Tired still but not too bad.

I does not matter if it is a Train, Plane or Automobile after a day of travelling I am more tired than after a day of Lawn Work

Yeah, it makes me tired and restless which is a sucky combo!

Yeah, I think this is the big thing. If you're doing it all the time and accustomed to the environment, it is likely much easier to sleep. When I was going to college and earlier in my career when I would fly more - I would sleep a lot on planes. But I might fly once ever couple years now...no way I could get quality sleep on a plane.

I used to work on the mines in nevada and live in north idaho and the company would fly me out there and back and the traveling consisted of an hour drive, 1.5 hour flight and 4 hour drive to get there and then the same back. I worked 10 days and 10 nights in a row and when i left its right after my last night shift and working 20 12 hour days in a row even then i couldnt sleep for either drive or flight. Sucked lol

Yeah no doubt it I were used to it I am sure I could have taken a nap. I am very excitable anyway. Part of my ADHD... new surrounding and everything just wake me up. Then walking in the cool air, forget sleeping right after that...

I fasted until 2:30 today, which in reality is a bit more like 4:30 to me, especially since I have been up since 3:45. I decided to get a bit of the sight seeing out of the way now while the sun was out and it was warmer. I walked to Market Square and looked around then hit up a Mexican place by the office on the way back. I got some triple combo fajitas (chicken, beef & shrimp) with corn tortillas, boracho beans and rice. Took it back to my desk and ate, just finished actually. Oh yeah I took 3 Defuse and 2 GlycoShield before I left for my walk too "Defuse" any damage.

So a little more activity in the bag, Oh yeah knocking down a 46oz bottle of V8 healthy greens with this meal. Had a few drinks on VDay and then a few beers for lunch here yesterday with the employee who took me out. Was feeling a bit dehydrated and figured this would do the trick! I have a G2 Gatorade too and that will be used during my quick lift session... IF I end up doing it.

I might just go get myself a special brownie or gummy bear across the street and check out the town in a mild psychedelic funk... We shall see!

 

[MrKleen73]

Going to head off to workout in about 15 minutes the walk back woke me up and got me energetic. Just took a half scoop of mesomorph and am waiting for it to do its thing.
The gym here has about 8 machines all isolateral capability except the leg press they look legit as far as stack machines so I am hoping to get in a great pump workout!

 

[Rocket3015]

Have Fun

 

[MrKleen73]

I took these pics yesterday.

I think I started at 212.7 and was 210.5 and some change last Saturday, after my travels this week I weighed in at 212.1 so still down .6lbs after this weeks travels and food intake.

Pics Taken upon waking Sunday 2/18/18 @212.1 Lbs.

I am pretty happy with how I am looking right now after this past week. I feel I still made some progress last week and that huge meat meal I had is starting to come back out... I can see a little more separation in the abs, and vascularity has increased a good bit. So even with the odd meal plans I was able to make some more progress last week.

Front Squats Bar x 15, 95x10, 145x10, 185x8, 225x5, 245x5, 275x5, 295x3, 315x2, 225x10, 225x10 - did 2 sets of 10 to increase volume over last time when I did a widow maker style set for 14 reps.

SSB Squats - 245x10, 265x10, 295x5, 295x5, 295x5, 295x5 - These were challenging sets but not ball busters except the last one was

SSB Reverse Lunges - 115x5 per side, 115x5 per side, 115x5 per side, 115x5 per side. Man these hit the core I did them alternating and good step back.

My legs are still wobbling those ssb reverse lunges were challenging to get nailed down took my stabilizers a bit to really figure them out.

Good luck getting off the crapper

It is coming I can tell that for sure! The pain isn’t here yet, but it is taking twice the effort to do normal daily things like walk or get up already.

Love it!

Thanks, they were pretty intense!!!

I gave myself a stinger in the groin area, have a little bit of a pinched nerve flaring up and pissed off. I am thinking maybe one of the lunges bit back a little. It is already improving but it is odd because it must be attached somehow to my PC muscle or something. When I need to pee I can feel the nerve twitching in my groin / adductor area and it gives me a strong sense of urgency to get to the restroom. Weird!!! Nothing like what feels like a tingly electric current in your junk!

Tonight will be some upper body work, and I might just go for some exercise during my lunch hour.

You sure you didn't leave a 9V in your pocket?

No doubt, talk about an uncomfortable feeling!!! Runs right down to the tip too! Not sure if it is very uncomfortable or the start of a hell of an orgasm! LMAO! Pissing is quite the sensation right now...
