TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

Recipe brother?

Use these ingredients for the brownie part:

Invalid Link Removed

Mix the chocolate and the coconut oil in a bowl first, heating in 30 second increments until the chocolate is melted. Then add everything else.

Not listed is 1/8t baking soda, 1T vanilla extract, and truvia (or your preferred sweetener). I used a half a FINAFLEX protein scoop for that.

Use these instructions:

But it took a little longer than that, probably because of the almond four.

Then I used 2oz low fat cream cheese, 3/4c 0% Greek yogurt, and 1s Clear Protein for the frosting. This recipe made pretty big brownies.
 
Rested Monday and Tuesday, almost today but I didn't want to make myself slump. Took the boat out Monday and got fried.

Took yesterday off for an appraiser that never showed after driving to work for a mandatory meeting my new tool of a supervisor cancelled without notice.

Diet has been crap. Vacation in <2 weeks so I'll pick the diet up again afterwards.

In the mean time I'm back to 531. All lifts were knocked down except deadlifts. Training maxes are 225 for bench, 385 for squat, something for deadlift, and pink for ohp.
 
Yay for back to 531. My diet has sucked lately too.. Been on that seafood diet lol.

Between holiday bloat and sunburn I couldn't tolerate wearing a belt today...

Why, because of what happened to me in prison?
 
Good call on the wobble bench. How'd you set it up?

That's good stuff, man. My first wobbly experience We took a short chain and ran it through some 25s. Worked great back then.

The damn band makes me go real slow so avoid as much bouncing as possible. I really feel them in my lats.

Once you get good at that, the next step is to spoto press (no pause) with maximum explosiveness. That's hard.

Out of time. Shoulder feels great. The mobility is paying off.

I have to keep doing incline presses with bar and 95 to start. For whatever reason I want to press initially in a shoulder-damaging way. After a few reps at light weight I get the injury free path down.

I have to train someone today, which means the next 3-4 months I'll be stuck in a tiny asś car with another dude. Dammit
 
Also, on set 3 of 205 I brought my ohp grip in a little and noticed I was stronger. Hopefully that'll prove to be a more progressive position.
 
How narrow? Right around shoulder width or narrower?

Thumb about half on smooth half on knurling, give or take. Probably just outside shoulders.
 
That's usually the strongest (and most comfortable) ohp position for most people.


That's what Mr. Shaw recommends for the BB OHP anyway.

This would've been good to know 2 years ago...

Weighted plank 80# X :54 PR

Shoulder feels great.
 
RegisterJr you watching the webinar tonight Meadows?

Nah. I may try and find it tomorrow. He just came out with a new program so it's likely a promotional for that, so he'll post it on YouTube.

Haha my vacation is the same time as yours! Where you off too man?

Steinhatchee Florida to go scalloping. I freaking can't wait. Packing now.
 
Enjoy yo self!!!

Thanks, I need this so bad.
