Juggernaut Method - Bench - 8 Rep Realization

Warmup:

• Treadmill
• Agile 8
• Shoulder Rotations / Dislocations

Bench
3 wu
115x5
140x3
165x2
175x1
185x11

Speed Bench [~60] [Alternating Grip between Regular & Close]

Chest Supported T-Bar Rows

Weightd Dips
+30lbs x 3 x 10


BB Bicep Curls

Workout Notes:

• I'm fighting something. Woke up a bit under the weather...figures as wife got something first...
• Bench actually felt REAL good. And I actually surpassed reps from previous cycle...so not too shabby...
• I am going to substitute either DB Rows or BO BB Rows over Chest Supported. Feeling as if I'm stalling a bit on those...
• Eased up on the arm accessory work...
• Will dose heavily up on Vit C & Zinc so it doesn't get any worse...

Juggernaut Method - Deadlift - 8 Rep Realization

Warmup:

• Elliptical
• Foam Roll
• Agile 8

Deadlift
3 wu
205x5
245x3
285x2
305x1
325x20 PR


BB Shrugs

225x2x10

Speed Squats [done on box]
185x5x3


...had to cut it short as the "kidz club" was closing...




Workout Notes:

• Deadlifts simple felt awesome! I really wish I had a vid of these b/c they all really felt quick off the floor (so I'm thinking and hoping my supplemental work is paying off)
• I did shrugs before speed squats primarily b/c I was on a "high" of the 20 rep Deads that I simply overlooked them...
• Speed Squats were off a box as well and I will continue to do it as such...these will pay off.
• Continuing with OHP on Monday (and next week) and then Deload on the Big 3 for my next cycle.

[B1GinNY82307]

with 135?

fcuker!!


I think it had to do with a combination of things that led to my great success:

• Little Caesars pizza the night before
• Sleep
• OG PreSurge Unleashed (where 2 scoops provided ~250 mg caffeine + DMAA)
• ...and APE...

Beast mode accomplished...

Just recalling the infamous incident that many people encounter:

Up to Saturday, I NEVER had an issue with my use of chalk, but after my DL's a staff member said the gym "frowned upon it". The staff member was actually nice about it but still does not change the fact that i find that unacceptable in a gym (to "frown on" or deny use of chalk).

So as soon as I get into the new house...new gym, a local, TRUE gym (Gold's) will be my gym. Nano thee positive is that they have a SS bar, so I'm sure that will come in handy

[martin_mathers]

in on this!
lol i've had so much shiit from the gym manager telling me not to use chalk and drop weights again. i just keep making noise and using chalk and theres nothing they can do...just keep doing it man dont think they can kick you out.

[B1GinNY82307]

maybe I'll give it a shot...though from what I heard it's really not the same as good 'ol fashioned chalk.

nice and welcome!

yeah...again, the guy was real cool about it, but I never had an issue and even did it in front of managers before. My thinking is that this silly couple next to (who were doing curls in the squat rack) complained.

but again, they were assholes...so w/e

[NC_Tarheel]

Chalk use is encouraged at my gym....errrr....garage

:

I've tried it and I don't think it's even close to being as good as chalk. I had to reapply to often and my hands sweat through it. I would def fight for the chalk. It's just not the same.

You could always break out some tacky to lift with.. a bet the gym would be happy to let you use chalk after that.

Once you go to chalk you want go back. It just feels sexy.. there's no real substitute for it.

[B1GinNY82307]

That is one way to put it..."sexy"...lol

[B1GinNY82307]

• Shoulder Rotations / Discloations

OHP
3 wu
75x5
95x3
105x2

Workout Notes:

• My primary focus was OHP and did work on those...

• All in all, a successful start to the program, as I have REP PR'd and increased the training maxed for the 5 Wave compared to my 1st try at it.
