Rob112^3...That means cubed guys. See what I did?

Some good stuff so far, chiming in as well.

Your depth improved a little as the set progressed, but still needs to be deeper. Form didn't look too off otherwise.

I compete classic w/wraps, and further out from a meet I only use wraps every 3 weeks after DE squats. When a meet approaches, I use wraps every week starting 5 weeks out. Which gives me 4 heavy sessions in wraps, deload, then meet.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

The reason my percentages feel so rough is I squated 40 more pounds at the meet than in the gym, with wraps. So using that to make my numbers is hard. I am going to have to improvise.

You won't always hit prescribed percentages every session. Some days you will be stronger, and some weaker. Try using the percentage as a guide, don't push yourself too hard on an off day trying to reach that percentage, and failing or getting hurt. If you feel amazing and the percentage was cake, maybe add more to the bar for a repeat set.

We all have to do it man. Last squat session I barely grinded through planned work sets, this session I smoked the weight; have to autoregulate in the long run.
 
Hit your numbers without wraps. Then come back and hit your heavy AMRAP again or a joker with the wraps after a warm up wearing them. That's what I did yesterday and like it. Extra volume but I still get my "raw" work in.

Sound advice
 
Bench

145 x 5, 165 x 5, 190 x 8, 3, 3
Pendlay Rows-145 x 5, 5, 8, 5
Paused NG DB Incline Bench-55's x 8, 6, 5, 5
Tate Press/Chins-30's x 10/4chins dead stop both x 3 sets
Yoke Walk-+50 x 4 sets of back and forth(16ish steps I believe, 32ish total)
Battle Ropes-4 sets of 20 seconds(horrible at this)
Face Pulls-50 x 12, 12, 9, 9
DB Curls-25's x 7ea->20's x 5ea x 2 sets

Felt like an awesome workout. Probably had another rep or 2 on the bench but no spot used. Left arm dying out big time compared to right arm. My conditioning also sucks ass. Couple short term goals of mine are cleaning up my diet and improve conditioning. I am still going to eat a lot. I realize I will likely lose some weight, but I am carrying a lot of fat so that is okay. If I lose no weight and recomp that would be ideal, but unlikely. I added some forskolin to the regiment, and TMG is a staple so I hope these help as well.

Like I said, not concerned so much with weight. Concerned with health, conditioning, and of course getting stronger. I have until june for my next meet so I have time.

Stay Classy AM

Dude were on a constant bulk. I'm lovin it

I gotta clean up though. To put it into perspective I've gained about 40lbs in the last 2-3 years. Being natty a majority is fat. I can stand to recomp and then go up again. I don't have the patients of a bber anymore to count calories and slow bulk at 3-500 calories above maintenance lol

Well a life time of organized sports an training for specific events can do that lol
 
I was always told if you wanted to bulk hard, you were still okay if you were adding a pound of muscle for every 2-3lbs of fat. So if you've gained 40 and 10 of it is muscle in 2 years, that's still a lot of muscle.

This is true.

It only dawned in me as I am starting to feel out of shape. Basically just cleaning it up some and adding conditioning work(yoke/prowler/battle ropes)

I'm in the same boat, man. I'm slowly going to add in conditioning and clean up the ol' diet and just let my weight stabilize somewhere more natural. I have found myself having a really hard time eating less after four months of waging all out war on the food.
 
Been going through the archives since you posted that hip hinge article. Very cool that you went up there Sean. Btw Smoker you read that one? Could help your lower the weight on dead lifts problem.
 
Glanced at it, I'll look through more carefully later. I got to the egg part...

I had a bad experience with eggs, I don't eat them a lot anymore.
 
And I'm seriously gonna get a broomstick and practice lowering it. I can't take it no more

After watching some strong man comp vids yesterday and recently, I really wanna try the yoke walk. Looks pretty cool and challenging. You lucky you got access.

Text me your schedule so we can get a day at VIP or just la. One month is too long bro

I mean, what I do with it is cool for conditioning, but as James will tell ya there stuff is like 700 lbs.

Will get back to you on scheduling

Honestly you could even do a weighted vest and jog hills or something for the conditioning effect. Yokes are cool, but they are big depending on your real estate
 
Deads

275 x 3, 315 x 3, 350 x 4(PR I believe)
+1" Def.-315 x 3 x 3
GHR-7, 7, 6, 5
Cable Kneeling Crunch-150 x 12slow reps x 4 sets
Prowler + 50lbs-Low push forward, High push back 3 times = 1 round x 4 times

Sorry I forgot videos. I swear they are coming. I meant to today but got caught up. Found out a few of the guys there are in the top 50 on PLwatch...which explains the massive weights I have been seeing there haha. Very cool people though. Makes for very good workouts. Anyways, nice session. Prowler was harder than expected. That's it for now. Will get videos soon.
 
There was a discussion on ******** a while ago about bulking. A lot of big pro BB/PL guys all said to bulk hard and fast, and there was even some research showing more LBM gained this way.

Very interesting. I'm cleaning it up and adding conditioning, then I will try and purposely gain again.

You don't weigh that much... What's the real reasoning behind this? Is it the wife? I won't make fun of you if it is cause she's not liking a tummy or something.

Same thing happened to me when I was downing rtd cyto sport weight gainers lol

Just feel unhealthy and out of shape. Wife no care

Edit: just to be clear I never wanted to work out and feel out of shape.

You training to be rg3 or mariusz?
Click to expand...

Mariusz was purported to have a distance running and swimming regimen on top of lifting. Too big is different for everybody, and it depends on conditioning, training age, how big you've been before, and how fast you put it on. Don't knock it, you haven't been there.

And lots of AAS... that's an important difference between you too. hahaha. I agree though good conditioning and being healthy is important. Plus look at all the top level strongmen who die of heart related issues really young/while still training+competing. It's disgusting.
