TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

RegisterJr said:
So, the most beautiful girl in our entire gym was waiting on a rack. So, I have mine up because I hate it when I want to squat and there isn't one available. After giving her the rack she puts a bench in front of it and starts doing hip thrusts. Rack wasn't even used. WTH?

Not gunna lie...was hoping she was in the video lmao
 
Lots of deadlift work there. Not to mention all the traffic in your gym.
 
The hip thrusts was an invitation for you to spot her...
 
Test: Lockout
 
The word is no longer banned. lol

They are. I think the whole banning of the word was silly though. No clue what prompted that.
 
Catching up: 1000 mg Test, no lockout, throwing headset, anabolic pizza, ATG squats, girl in video, slamming the bar after DLs and 1.5 scoops Stimul8! Nice job Thomas!

You've got it all wrong: some beefed up chick running 1g test accidentally took 1.5sc Stimul8 before doing ATG squats and threw her headset at Thomas right before he could lock out, thus causing him to slam the bar. Then he had pizza, which is inherently anabolic in nature.

That's happened to me from time to time. At least Kenpo and Hyde have you all caught up.
 
Not my morning. I feel like I barely slept and forgot to program the coffee maker last night. Fortunately it's just (upper) back day. I want to do front squats but I won't be ready for back squats this work week if so.

Lats are wrecked. This was fun today.

It was all I could do to finish the meadows rows. Slow negative until I hit 110.

I left my belt at the gym two days ago and had no idea. Fortunately it was in the lost and found
 
Geez! Heck of a session for feeling tired! Impressed with the ShoulderRok swings as well!

They aren't easy following a deadlift day. Hard on the hands.
 
Always love a good Meafows Row day! This one looks like you wrecked the gym!

I've had bands stollen. I think I'm going to have something burned into the back in case it happens again. I have "if found text X" on the inside, but they didn't do that.
 
Stencil "Gay Bro" on the back. problem solved!
 
Don't ask, I won't tell...
 
I forgot my headphones...
 
Either not enough recovery from Sunday's bench, crappy beta gym music, or the 2 beers I had last night screwed me up. Crappy session this morning.

Called it quits. I probably should've done some blood pumping movements like spider crawls instead of hammer strength presses.

Busy day today. Can't wait to squat tomorrow.
 
Probably needed a few more beers. I think we all have those days occasionally.

Thoughts:

I need more core work.

I realized afterwards that I haven't had enough rest over the last 12 days. I was super light last week so I assumed I didn't need rest. It affected my bench and squat this week.

Going to change things up next week. Not dropping 531, but every 2-3 weeks of 531 I'm going to do 1-2 weeks of hypertrophy/Mountain Dog.
 
I forgot to post the video.

Invalid Link Removed

I guess I should be happy. When I starting this 531 cycle my max single was 385.
 
That could be a cool blend of 531 and Mountain Dog hypertrophy training. Will keep the workouts interesting and give you things to look forward to.
Good squatting man!!
 
Here's something to consider: a deload's purpose is to reduce fatigue debt considerably. It hinges on the concept that everything you do daily to facilitate recovery, which isn't quite enough to fully manage the steadily accumulating fatigue of normal training, is still in place during the period of reduced loading. You cut back on food or sleep significantly here, and all you do is preserve fatigue while performance potential decreases.

Sleep isn't an option. If you can't get enough doing what you're doing in life then you should cut back on lifting frequency. You'd progress faster w adequate recovery then grinding yourself into the dirt. I know you know, just sayin'.

It's true. Bad judgment on training days and days off.

This is also true. He is old.
