TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

[herderdude]

Your upper back didn't give homie. Look at all your first reps, you started your shoulders a little behind the bar. The subsequent reps had a straight path as you grooved in. You keep that hip height and flatten your lower back a hair more and you've got it dicked.

Nice work on the deads!

Thanks Leach!

That was a lot of heavy dead reps! Those 495's didn't look too shabby man. Can't wait to see what we see by this time next year. Gainstrain will be in full force!!

Me, neither. Looking forward to my hypertrophy break and started anew. Thanks Brian.

That's good news. Thanks for the critique. I'll keep at it.

Going to try this stuff this week. Short video on bicep pain while benching/low-bar. No, I don't have pain anymore, but this could still be beneficial.

And painful front squat wrist mobility.

 

[wasme]

I've got 4 weeks left on this 531 cycle, then I'm going to take a strength break and do a Mountain Dog-type routine for 12 weeks.

It's going to look like this:

Sat – Legs (heavy)
Sunday – Chest/Shoulders (heavy) Monday – Back (heavy)
Tuesday – Legs (light/explosive) Wednesday – Chest/Shoulders (light) Thursday – Arms
Friday – Back (light)

Looks familiar... I'll be doing the same but likely 1 leg day... knees / back wont take two anymore lol

OMG! You have come a long way in lifting heavy! Wow!

^^^^ This

 

[SweetLou321]

I can pull a little more than that. I didn't want to pull something that was going to kill my grip on one rep though.

As a cause or remedy?

Remedy, base of 14 on the pH scale.

We'll see how it plays out. I wouldn't mind getting in an extra semi-easy squat day.

7 days a week training.. Sheesh. Nice deads there at 495.

Thanks man.

A few of those days will be real light pump work with limited sets.

 

[RegisterJr]

Another rest day. After taking a week off work I feel so tired going back.

 

[MARK_]

Another rest day. After taking a week off work I feel so tired going back.

I almost took another rest day as well. Sometimes my body needs to be kicked back into gear after a few days off. I'm glad I went in though. I understand how you feel

 

[turff49]

Nothing wrong with some extra rest. You will be going back into a different training mode here in a few days.
You know Steve always believed in taking a week or so off from lifting ever so often to reprogram and stimul8 growth!

True, true.

 

[capo180]

I felt great yesterday and today after taking 4 days off. Feel like a new man lol.

 

[RegisterJr]

Gonna have a few beers, watch some football, and carb up tonight for squats tomorrow. 475, maybe.


This is funny if you have a couple minutes:

No squats this morning. I've been doing a different kind of squat all day. Stomach is in turmoils.

 

[turff49]

Any PR's???????...lol

Ha. Yup!

 

[turff49]

Ha. Yup!

Well, that sucks then. Feel bad for you man. Hope it's getting better.

Trying again this morning. Stomach is better but not 100%.

I think Ian is going to call this high, but it'd be ATG in a Lillybridge gym.

It was high IMO, but I'm counting it as a Pr anyway. Twas close.

I also saw this on IG. How stupid.

 

[turff49]

Looked deep enough to me. The 405's looked higher. Congrats on the PR man.

So it took him 8hrs to get the same effect I get from doing 1-1.5hrs. Guy just spent 8hrs of his life that he can't get back and I guarantee it amounted to no additional gains. His physique isn't too great either, he probably needs to learn about lifting before trying some knuckle headed crap like that.

Somewhere in the comments he gave credit to Piana. I'm sure he's devouring the same steroid as he is, too.

To do anything in the gym that long dude must've taken 30 minute rests between sets.

 

[RegisterJr]

I may take the weekend off from here and other social media. Wife says I spend too much time on my phone. I disagree, but this is someone who doesn't do any forums, any Facebook, or other things besides texting. So, I'll give it a little break.

Happy New Years folks, and I'll check in when I can!

 

[Duramaxhd]

Have a good new year my friend

 

[clown007]

Great PR buddy and have a terrific New Year!

 

[capo180]

Nice squatting and happy New Years bro! People do weird **** in the gym. Doing that once isn't a big deal imo, it's not gonna do anything for your but won't hurt much either. Unless you pull something. Just an epic waste of time lol. I see dudes in the gym, that gotta be doing 2-3 hour back and biceps sessions.. That's just an uber extreme version of that in my eyes.

 

[Hyde]

Damn that took way too long to load on this crappy app. I'd say you got it man. It wasn't deep but it looked parallel. Nice job

 

[NurseGray]

Nice squat PR! Happy New Year!

 

[jswain34]

Agreed with Hyde. It was parallel at least. Tough to tell further than that. Id take it if i were you. Hitting a pr squat the day after ****ting your life out the entire day isn't easy.

 

[jimbuick]

Lower camera angles always make squats look shallower than they are.

So if it looks "good" at that angle, chances are it was likely low enough for a competition.

I can see how the angle makes it tough to gauge. Thanks guys, and Happy New Year!

Oh, and I'm still having stomach issues...

Final decision- low enough for beast squats! Hope your stomach clears.

 

[wasme]

Squats looked great to me bro!

Listen to the wife.... make this weekend all about her/family...

 

[GaWd]

I do too. I think most In here do, but it's prevalent among most guys I know in the gym. Especially with ECA.

Look at it practically: If the pain you are experiencing will prevent your return to the gym, or greatly impact your day-to-day life, it might be acceptable to experience some amount of reduced protein synthesis.

Otherwise, it's probably wise to avoid it.

That might have been the tiniest bit high. You should still feel accomplished and count it as a legit PR.
