TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

I have to check my bag, but I'm pretty certain I left my heavy band in the gym yesterday. I hope not.

Deload time. Not even attempting flat bench, gonna stick to machines and DBs today.
 
A DB and machine day can be a great change of pace. I use to do that every 3rd week just to get some variety and hit the muscle groups differently. Hope you find that band, they ain't cheap!

Great pump, joints and biceps feel great, and I left my band again and had to go back and get it.

531 has been great to me. I think I'm approaching the time where doing top set AMRAPs every session isn't as beneficial as it is taxing. Maybe I need to reset my numbers every 18 weeks instead of 24. That, or switch up 531 programs.

Maybe only do the prescribed reps on the top set and then do an amrap of your first set weight. Wendler's first set last method. Then you could ride that until that's too taxing and go prescribed all the way through, then reset. Or leave more reps in the tank on your amraps.
 
Time to hit the gym for some moms? I shouldn't laugh, but I met my 2nd wife in the gym. I think it was in the month of Feb too...

Yeah, that marriage lasted all of 3 years. 9 years younger than me... It was fun and we parted as friends though.
 
Lol...it's been quite entertaining to watch the newbies in the gym. Luckily at 5am the crowd is much smaller!

35 year old MILF here has made it pretty clear she's interested, but knows I'm happily taken. She's awesome to train with and keeps it cool but man sometimes you could cut the tension with a knife! Ugh

What are these newbies you guys speak of? I haven't encountered any at my gym! Ha!!! I'll trade the guy dead lifting with an elevation mask on for one of your newbies!
 
Oh, Thomas... I'm only a couple of hundred posts behind but I'm lurking!!! I swear! . Those wobble bench benches are freaking killer! I could barely do 25 lbs.
 
At the camp. Kiddos feeder was destroyed by a bear. Mine was tampered with enough to where the feed all spilled out. Raised mine up some and will get kiddo a new one (higher) in a month or so.

That's cheating isn't it? Shouldn't you hunt with spears and run them down? lol
 
Your boy is getting big! Handsome kid! :)
 
What the... not all fantasies have to be spoke out into the world.

No lifts today. I don't know what happened. My alarm is set but I do not recall turning it off. I even woke up 20 min pre alarm and felt somewhat rested.

Simon, we have black bears here. We actually had our first bear season earlier this year because the previous efforts to 'save the Bears' backfired, and now we have too many.
 
You should wrestle a bear. Imagine the mobility work you would get in!

Need some equipment at home, then days like this are no big deal. You could get a quickly in or wait until after work.

I agree with all of this. Especially the mobility work. Sounds safe and effective.

I just remembered the championship game is tonight. Well, no gym tomorrow either.
 
Thomas the insinuation was that you are what the LGBT community might refer to as a "bear" - a larger, brawny male, often bearded and/or sporting a respectable level of body hair.

Idk how I could say more without being offensive

Legs felt great on fronts but wrist did not. Taking a couple weeks off them sets me back. With alternated hand placement the bar rolled too much.

Oh well, Pr anyhow. And I got t watch the game.

You keep the secrets to your community on the inside. :trout:
 
that's a pretty significant increase a triples right?

Thanks man.

10#, but considering the issue I've had with fronts I'd say it was significant. I hit 250x3 once, 250x2 prior than that, and 240x4/3 once.
 
well done... i'm telling you, once you sort out your wrist problems your fs is going to be huge. i've read that a good lifter can to 75% of his 1rm a2g back squat for fronts, that puts you up there pretty well

That'd be nice. I'd love to see a 315 for reps front squat.

Until I get it, then it won't be enough. lol
 
I can say for certain that it isn't your leg strength holding back your fronts. You squat more than i do and i just did 260 for like 6@8 rpe on fronts last week. You'll see 315 in no time if you keep practicing it.
 
Nice session brother.. I havent seen you do LEg Press in a long time! Unless i missed some workouts.. good on ya
 
I used to love front squats.


My best ever was a 335 x 2 IIRC, and my back squat wasn't as high as yours is now. It shouldn't be long before you're doing front squats in the mid 300s.

You are correct. I've been slacking on the leg press. Gonna probably have them quite a bit during my upcoming hypertrophy block, as you know.

They feel less awkward than high bar, at least.

The extra wrist mobility I've been doing at home (micro band around elbow and top of fingers) sometimes leaves a lingering pain in the area I broke it. I wish I had been recommended doing this when I was given therapy, instead of the one-size-fits-all wrist movements.

Barbell Squat 148.5

Cable High Pulley Overhead Tricep Extension 173.33

Set 1 : 110x10 + Seated calf raises to fail
Set 2 : 120x10 + SCR
Set 3 : 130x10 + SCR
Set 4 : 70x25 + SCR

My hips, Rt especially, was so tight. I need more mobility in between lower days.

Despite that deadlifts felt great. I was closer to wanting straps than wanting the belt.

Diet has been horrible. Ever seen those jumbo palm sized Reece's? Yeah...
 
I love Reece's but stopped eating them once I found out they had TBHQ in them as a preservative. Same TBHQ in Ramin noodles and chicken McNuggets. Google TBHQ.
