Very happy with my top dead set, because after warm ups, I thought I wouldn't have stood a chance...only downfall was how tight my lower back was afterwards, forcing me to wear my belt for bench...also if you're bored enough to watch the video, I found it pretty neat to see the knurling embedded on my hand as I grabbed the phone after my paused dead set, lol.

Fasted for 24 hrs (from 330pm on Thurs to 330pm on Fri) and ate a decent amount in a 3 hr window after wards...then fasted for 16 hrs before eating breakfast 2 hrs prior to this session...energy was just ok, a scoop of Assault helped out.

Definitely...worst part, other than recovery, is eating typically goes to hell...usually stuck eating whatever the kitchen Sargeant can cook up, usually sh.itty state hot dogs or sh.itty state burgers.

Sounds like you need some protein powder at work.

doubles at work forced me to change things up a bit this week...session's were supposed to be the same, other than an added set of 12 for everything, so just combined what would have been Tuesday's work with Thurs while eliminated a couple sets...Front Squats were supposed to be @ 155lbs, but forgot to check last week's weight so went off the top of my head....will also be moving Saturday's session, to later on today, will be way too busy Saturday...meh

needed 2 scoops of Assault with how much fatigue I was fighting yesterday for this session, felt like ****...crazy sore, high reps suck, lol....all "missed" 12 rep sets and accessory work will be mashed together for a quick session on Sunday.
 
That’s a boat load of volume.

I ordered nutrex outlift concentrate for hard days (will add creatine separately) when I’m dragging.

Do you like assault? I haven’t used it or looked at the label in yeeeears

Click to expand...

body still isn't used to it, add to the fact that I'm fasting at a deficit with minimal carbs on a daily basis with barely more than 4-5 hrs of sleep a day while working graveyard shift......rough...

ehhh...Assault's ok...it's under $17 for 30 servings with Prime shipping, lol...and I only use Preworkout on Saturday sessions (Friday in this case because it was moved)

my supplement game is weak...I really only have 2 "staples" for lack of better words, and that's Orange Triad and Green Mag...Preworkout and Protein powder is literally whatever is on sale.

Thanks! Weight's light, I know....but 1st time trying a hypertrophy specific block, and everything I've read seems to push for a starting point of 50% of 1rm...so cleaning up the eating and hoping to at least "look" like I lift weights by the time it's all said and done, and then prep for my December meet.
 
It's good stuff when you are not used to reps and means you have room go up regularly which is good for dem gainz!

so far so good...body's getting more and more accustomed to the higher reps....really only hoping to get slightly leaner than I was before my 1st meet last year

Everything moved smooth, as it should have with these lighter weights...still ashamed of how weak my pressing has become, it feels like yesterday when I hit my Comp Bench triple with 325lbs, and my seated OH was much stronger and moved so much faster, smh...

Vacation starts when I clock out tomorrow morning @ 8am (hoping to end the last day of my work week without a mandatory double)....hitting the beach with the family on Sat, so will move that session to Sunday.

My lifts are down too from the meet but I just look at it as I most of peaked pretty good for the meet. Enjoy the beach and time off.

for me it's really just bench...I tweaked my trap doing weighted dips a while back when bench was moving PRs (365 tng / 345 Paused / 325 x 3) and the highest I've gotten since then was 325 for a single I think...once I'm done with this specific block, I can hopefully tear it back down and find out how to bring it back.

was not sure today would go so well...had to cancel yesterday's session...crazy dehydrated from the beach, and something must not have agreed too well with my stomach from Saturday either cause I was hauling ass back to the toilet all day...

so I split up the 6x10 RDLs and Goodmornings into 3x10 each, today and Wednesday.......exhausted...

family issues basically kept me from lifting any kind of weight for the last 2 weeks...life...wasn't sure how I'd feel heading into this session, but other than regretting not taking a preworkout everything went ok...I can only assume it was a volume PR for High Bar....oh, and I'm more fat again, smh.

was able to move through this one pretty easily...Pressing is finally feeling stronger and much more stable, still nowhere near as fast however...

Saturday's session should still be on track, but next week gets iffy again...the Wife has a somewhat unexpected surgery scheduled for Wednesday, so Tuesday @ 8am, I get off shift and start FMLA until the following week...without stating the obvious, training will either happen or it won't.

I can always count on solid energy levels for Saturdays, since Friday is the only day out of the week I get 7+ hrs of sleep, and last night got a solid 8.5hrs...felt a lil foggy (IB PM) but eggs, waffles, and coffee fixed that + a scoop of Assault and Green Mag preworkout....also, happy my weight didn't skyrocket like expected...have ate pretty clean this week and it helped...not looking forward to tomorrow's soreness.

loooong session...probably almost 2.5 hrs from warm up to clean up...just felt sluggish for whatever reason, even after 2 scoops of Assault...the 1st 6 sets of Squats are sped up 4x, the 1st 6 sets of Incline are sped up 2x...some weird video editing lag on the last 2 sets of Squats, but everything moved well...also happier with pressing today, speed felt much better...Wife's surgery is tomorrow morning, her recovery will dictate the remainder of the week.
 
Lots of sets can see why it took so long. Hope the surgery goes good. My wife has one coming up too in about a month but not a major one.

surgery went well, wife is home resting, and absolutely being a pita, lol....split up this session into 2 parts...the Fronts and OH work done early, while everyone was still sleeping, then the accessory style work was done in the afternoon while my 2 ladies (wife and baby daughter) caught a nap...


also linked up with a co worker who happens to be into PL and Strongman training...convinced me to sign up for a Backyard Grip Competition, that his buddy who runs a gym not far away from me was able to get sanctioned by Armlifting USA...I'm looking at events like shallow inch pinch, hub pinch, 3"pinch block, country crush, raptor handle, and ring deadlifts...the comp is in September and should be crazy fun...introducing myself to similar grip training so I don't look like too much of an ass, but really just looking forward to having a good time...his gym also hosts Strongman Comps, so I've decided to compete in theirs instead which is in May instead of April.

Think you will really enjoy the USPA meet. The 3 I did there was 120 competitors in each and was really enjoyable watching everyone, specially the big boys.

best session in a while...closest I've been to meet weight to start a prep, so hoping everything continues to click.
 
well, it's official...all signed up for the Oct 6 USPA meet...I feel pretty confident I can reach my goal of 1,400lbs+ after my last session, so...put in a request for the Friday before meet day off, which would help ease into weigh ins...if not, I'll literally be leaving shift @ 8am and driving around 100 miles (one way) for weigh ins...will be booking a room for the night either way.
