Yup, today was a good day *insert ice cube voice*. Strides are being made fellas but I need to chill out on the weight gain ?. So after 45 days (or around that) I feel like the animal sterol complex finally kicked in.. I know I’ve gained weight (obviously) but I seem to be fuller around my delts, upper back and chest. Strength is slowly going up as well. I’ll order my last bottle (three bottles used as promised) next week.

Be easy
God bless

Every third week I add weight to my volume days btw. And yesterday was the day... and I couldn’t get anything to cooperate as a single chain. My hips were swimming, my forward knee travel was nonexistent and I was breaking my hips backwards to far causing me to look like I squat with lordosis lol it was a rough workout.. like I was new to lifting again

Be easy
God bless

Can’t even explain the cloud I’m sitting on right now . I know that if I can keep my AR and VD in my favor that in two weeks I SHOULD(on paper and in theory) squat 315x3x2r (with the steady 5lb linear progression) which would be HUGE from my last wave.

Be easy
God bless

I send this to my homeboy on the reg when he says “bro, my last session bout killed me”. Lol

 

[tyga tyga]

Also, my wife made an easy and very macro friendly taco chili. It’s straight

1.5lb 90/10 beef (cook and strain)
- add to crock pot
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 can rotel
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch seasoning

Thing to note, I under cooked my beef some since it was going to cook for four hours on “high” in the crock pot. I top it with sour cream and FF cheddar.

I’ve been drinking an abundance of juices too (not my concentrate but actual fruit juices lol) idk why but I’ve been craving them.

 

[Yomo]

good stuff...PRs on 2 lifts in the same session? ...must be the chili...let me get some broham.

It’s either the chili or.... the collagen ?

Congrats on the PR's and this is basically something I have made before minus the packet of ranch dressing. I love doing things like this.

 

[Hyde]

Ranch seasoning sounds like the magic touch. I might have to try this!

I don’t English well.

 

[tyga tyga]

Definitely strained my right oblique (either external or *maybe* an erector) if I put my trunk into flexion (hip hinge) it’s very evident. I’ll probably skip squats tomorrow and only press, bb hip thrust and chins.

No rhyme or reason but I’ve changed my timed (every thirty seconds) deadlift to pulling for 15min and only increasing weight as long as I can pull over 10 singles within the timeframe . Squats were buttery and felt light where-as bench felt meh. Onward and upward!

Any noticeable flaws let me know! I can probably set my hips a little higher because you can see them pop up an inch or so before the pull actually moves.

Thanks in advance!
Yomo Hyde

 

[Hyde]

If I can find any nit to pick at all aside from trying to raise the hips an inch like you said, it would be to try to get shoulders back a hair at start of pull as well.

Looked good to me!

I would have t agree that you would need to be nitpicking to really even say much about the hips rising but retracting that scapula, and pulling the slack out of the shoulders before dipping / sitting back into it to engage the glutes might help with both.

Either way it was a solid pull in my opinion.

 

[tyga tyga]

Appreciate it guys! Will work on it for sure.

First, this training cycle has been very good to me. I’ve been consistently progressing and still keeping injuries (outside of minor muscle tweaks) to non existent. But, I will say it is obviously time for a deload. I say that because today I woke up with a sore (R) SI and tight QL (same side). However.. that wasn’t going to stop my PR . I’m going to finish this week out then deload the following week.

Anyways, here’s my first set of 315
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygnfxxkragwcpoj/315x2 squat (first set of 3).MOV?dl=0

Didn’t realize my towel was in the way of my depth check . My third set was major suck tho, probably a 9.5+ lol

Be easy
God bless!

 

[MrKleen73]

The towel wasn't really blocking anything the knees were obviously higher than the crease of the hips on those. Looked good, stay healthy!!!

rep was fine..like Kleen said, focus on pulling slack just a bit more (sit back just a bit, death grip on the bar with elbows locked, and tris flexed hard) before initiating the push...as long as the hips move up and not back, you'll be straight.


EDIT: and depth was no question on squats...only thing I noticed was a bit of the heel lifting on each rep...it's gotta be that crazy narrow stance...sometimes when that happens to me, I focus on trying to grab the floor with my feet...helps me distribute the weight better, while taking advantage of the rebound created by knees forward.

 

[Hyde]

Tell that turdlicker to wait until you have the bar racked to take weights from the rack!

I thought I noticed that then realized his heels kind of lip up off the ground a little even when standing flat footed. So I wasn't sure if it was the design of the shoe or not. He does have a very close stance too.

Word. Imma pull for a new 1rm on Friday so those two things you and kleen mentioned and getting my shoulders vertical/tiny bit behind the bar like Hyde mentioned will be my focus.

Bro, every time I squat, SOMEONE comes to the rack mid rep to get plates. One time the guy nudged my bar while I was descending . I looked at him like WTH?! But I didn’t say anything because 1) I didn’t get injured and 2) the guy wears either a Freddy, Jason, chucky, pin head/hell raiser or some other killer on his shirt lol so... I let it slide. Probably the latter being the reason because who knows if the guy is harboring some crazy and will snap

Yeah, now admittedly depending on the gym and set up I will take a weight off the rack while someone is lifting but not during the walkout, or re-rack. Those are dangerous times, I don't really see danger in someone walking up and grabbing a weight off the rack while someone is standing in a fixed position squatting. Now if they are obviously attempting a PR or something where extreme focus is in play then that is different. I also don't get bothered when others do it to me but again not when I am walking out or re-racking because the risk level is much higher then.

 

[tyga tyga]

Also, moving forward.

Volume day
Squat pyramid 5x5
*egg zampel - 250,255,265,260,255
Bench pyramid 5x5
*same as above
Sumo off blocks top set of 3@9

Active recovery
Squat 2x5
Db incline 3x5
Kb swing 4 sets of 8-10
Bb row amrap 3 sets

Friday- intensity
Sq - 3rm
B- 3rm
Stiff legged deadlift 3x5-8r

My volume day allows for more rpe based training (except my pulls) which allows for more sub max weight being handled over time. Obviously, goal again is to increase my weight on intensity days.

 

[tyga tyga]

Well, I pulled 375x1@8. I should’ve went ahead and deadlifted Monday with my heavy squat and bench.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ws8l8o4q6s46y9u/sumo 375x1.MOV?dl=0

Was trying to be mindful the technique critiques you guys gave me. I should’ve went for 405 but I chickened out *

Squat
190x12x2r

Edit* went back and edited my layout on exercise selection.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Subd! Btw how did those squats feel on your shins?

 

[Hyde]

Looked like an opener at most! Very easy pull at 375. Should have at least did 395; wouldn’t have messed with your head but would have moved just as good

Ok i was just wondering, i guess some people prefer a more narrow leg positioning for squats.

 

[tyga tyga]

Ok i was just wondering, i guess some people prefer a more narrow leg positioning for squats.

I’m sure I could train with a wider stance and be just as strong, maybe. But, I do prefer the narrow stance, I’m much stronger (well, strong to me) with a closer foot position.

 

[Ulfhednar]

Oh ok, yea i have tried a closer foot position but I think it assisted in me developing shin splints along side me walking on the treadmill with squatting shoes lol.

Great pull, moved like butter baby!!!! Plus those dang quads man... just beefy meat hanging over the knees!!!!

Oh ok, yea i have tried a closer foot position but I think it assisted in me developing shin splints along side me walking on the treadmill with squatting shoes lol.

I feel this may have had more to do with the treadmill in squat shoes... I could be wrong. Shin splint come from the repeat flexing of the foot and ankle, IE lifting your toes higher than the heel, and walking on a treadmill in Oly shoes would most definitely exacerbate that.
