im still on it, squats 3x a week heavy is pretty hard on your CNS, especially if your playing sports as well, im just using it to get my strength back because i was sick for a while and lost a good amount of strength


get on it during the offseason or when your bulking, not much else i can tell you though, not too experienced with it

10/30/09

Did 8 x 100 m sprints with 75 second rests between each, went about 90 % for all of them, last one was all out.

then onto lifting...

BENCH:
150 x 3 x 5

SQUATS:
235 x 3 x 5

PULL UPS
@165 x 15 x 8 x 4

GHR

squats are starting to get harder, bench was easier than i thought it was gonna be, pull ups are getting better, hopefully i will be able to get 20 reps soon. strength is starting to come back, i've gotten back 30 lbs in a week for my squat which is what i wanted the most.

gonna play some basketball, and run some more tmrw

11/04/09

today was take your kids to work day for the freshmen, my mom works in a mall, i got a 20 dollar coupon for the food court, feels good man

got in over 300 g of protein today (srs), freaking crazy, then i went to lift and cardio cause the calories werent completely clean

so i jogged for 10 minutes, and heres the lifting part

STRICT OHP
90 x 3 x 5

- easy work, guess its cause of the food i ate, and it was actually REALLY easy

DEADLIFTS
305 x 5

- felt like i could have pulled this for a couple more reps, i didnt squat today too, squatting 3x a week at maximal weights is a little too much lol

then i did some kroc rows and core work, rowed 70 x 15 both hands, not too impressive, just some core work, and then left

[Wolf-Baron]

lol nvm it got fixed

[BigNF]

good idea to take a workout off squatting, ive always wondered how people manage to do it 3times a week... 3 plate deadlift next time?!

[fitnessnewb]

Good pullups brah



whatcha say?/ goal achieved or form = too sloppy?

i would continue 3x a week heavy, but i play sports and **** too so yeah

the form is pretty good, damn, time to add some weight onto yourself tho

could do 16 before off week. Week off makes you ****load stronger and I lost .5kg so that helps a fair bit too. Probably chilling at 10% bf now or so. Race to 30?

11/06/09

had a day off school today, went and got my flu shot, and ate a shtload

went to lift at 2:30, spent about 3 hours at the gym doing sht, did 30 minutes of cardio, and i played about an hour of basketball after lifting, took about a 30 minute break between things, just sitting lol

so just the lifting part

BENCH
155 x 3 x 5

- got the rep, was pretty easy

SQUATS
245 x 3 x 5

- squats are getting harder lol, im 10 lb away from my PR

PULL UPS
+ 15 x 10
+ 15 x 2 x 6

GHR: 3 x 5

[BigNF]
