Good job man, must be dat dere secret training you did at the IPF gym in Hong Kong. :D
Easy lifts are easy. Awesome man.
[QUOTE=snrygo;987990293]do you have a link to your vid (or log if tyou have one)?[/QUOTE]
Martin filmed in a quicktime format so I am still trying to figure out how to make them all into one. I have no log on here..My training and lifts are nothing special. I'll see you at the Y though!
I do have to say though that in Martin's training vids he may seem to cut his squats a bit high but at the meet where it counts he buries them deep in the hole. I was impressed. He also keeps his back and torso ridiculously upright for someone who squats in flat soled shoes.

LOL come on you're not a tech savvy are you...
awww thanks jactbrah yea i tend to squat a bit too deep at meets lol i would actually like to cut them higher if i could. my core and lower back have gotten a lot stronger over the past year but still whenever i fail a squat its my core that fails first. but i guess having a super long torso helps
didnt train today. might go in tomorrow for some upper body work to get dat pump on. im not starting another training cycle until January due to all the traveling i have to do during Christmas. but if i have a chance i might go train at the IPF gym in Hong Kong when im there in a couple weeks.
I do already have something planned out for my next training cycle. this cycle wont lead up to a meet since my next meet is in June. but i will incorporate more rep work to build up that work capacity and conditioning. ever since i stopped doing sheiko my conditioning has gone waaaay down and now squatting 225 for more than 3 reps gives me a super lower back pump. but everything will still be similar to what i've been doing: adding 10-15lbs every week, deloading every 2-3 weeks, training each main lift once a week etc.
in the beginning of 2012 i wanted a 1400 total before 2013 and considering how easy i totalled 1338 i'd say i got pretty damn close. now i want a 1500 total before 2014. probably a 500 squat, 400 bench and 600 dead. and on second thought, i've decided not to move up to 275. im pretty comfortable with lifting at around 250. and a 1500 total at 242 sounds a lot more impressive than at 275 lol.

my gym got an axle and a circus dumbbell. the circus dumbbell is fuucking huge. it only weighed 130 and i could only lift it halfway up its like a double fat grip lol. it could weigh up to 200lbs tho when you put sand in it.
lol I saw that DB ... picture of Craig goofin around with it. So funny
Circus dumbbells are serious business. Get that thing over your head!
Martin: How heavy do you go on your accessory work? Is it all light stuff that's just not hard at all? Is it working to failure or near failure?

my appetite has been on the down low this whole week. i missed dinner twice in the same week lol partly due to finals but today i've only had a brotein shake and a small sandwich and i still dont feel like eating. obviously bodyweight is down too. woke up at around 246lbs

did a bit more work today cause i might not be lifting next week. shoulders and elbows were still hurting but i was able to push through it.
i'll be in Toronto this weekend and im planning on pulling 550 on saturday at Fortis (the gym i used to train at). Joining me will be Mr. Jactbrah bassinyoface and possibly another 220 lifter who deadlifts 640+ RAW RAW. its gonna be a kickass deadlift party to celebrate the end of my finals and the beginning of christmas. i am very excite.
jactbrah checking in. (for some reason bb.com is not sending me email notifications to my subscribed threads lately...)
This deadlift party will be a great one at that!!!!! carb coma to follow babayy!!!! Don't worry no food poisoning this time, its time to get kicked out of a restaurant.
sorry to hear about your exam broski...its just one page in the books.

done. we were just talking and talking then we got hungry as fuuck and went to destroy some sushi. im going there tomorrow again to hit up some assistance work. the owner is nice enough to not even charge me one buck.
also saw jeremy hamilton. that guy's jacked as fuuck didnt get to talk to him though. and apparently Vlad Alhazov trains at this gym too now. he's the first guy who squatted 1250 and he also deadlifted 925. and the other dude with the blonde hair deadlifts 640 raw raw at 220. he wasnt feeling it today tho.
great day to start off the winter break!
