Nice pressing bro and happy Veterans day brother. Stay strong.

smashed.... although i have to facking idea what you were trying to say in the sentence about the pull downs lol.

The took a weight bench placed it on the pull up bar and did upside down situp on them...So I call them upside down situps

[Jasonk282]

Cycle 5 wave 1 OHP



OHP
80 1x5
90 1x5
105 1x3
115 1x5
125 1x5
130 1x5
130 5x1

Felt pretty strong on these. I'm really liking doing the singles after hitting the required reps.

BBB ohp
80 5x10

Again felt really good on these, even after doing the extra singles. Really only on the last rep of the last set did I really have to push to get the weight up.

reverse grip pulldowns
110 5x20

There were dudes situps on the pull up area with the bench on it. Fcuk it I actually like these better. The weight was good and really my biceps were failing before my back was. had to do a few rest pause sets to get all the reps and I could just feel the blood rush back into my broceps

Incline press
50 1x10
50 1x10
50 1x8
50 1x8

Felt really good on these as well. Kinda pissed that I missed the 2 reps on the 3rd and 4th set. But considering all teh pressing I did before it I can see why.

Overall a good end to wave 1. I'm gonna be doing it 3x a week instead of the 4 for now and see how that works out for me. Rest day tomorrow then 3+ squats on Wednesday.

Page bump for today's workout

Thanks Ant. I'm gonna really feel it the next few days with the DOMS.

[Anthony21]

Gotta love the DOMS though lol.

Nice press numbers. So for OHP for your singles do you just stand with the bar and wait or do you rack it and rest?

I rack it, take a few seconds to catch my breath and lift it again. I don't rest for more than 20 seconds. I just pace in a circle and attack the bar again.

Are you doing the same with squat and bench or just locking out?

[Jasonk282]

Are you doing the same with squat and bench or just locking out?

I'm going to try to do the same with all my lifts. Just hit the required reps and then hit singles after them. I've done it with bench last cycle, I did 185x5 then 185 for 5x1. With bench though I stayed in my arch the whole time.

Intredesting. It will be good to see how it helps your plus sets over the next few cycles.

I'm not going to go over 5 singles though. As when I hit 3+ and 1+ week the weight is gonna be heavy enough that hitting 5 single should be more than enough.

The 5 week I imagine will not be so tough but I can image the 1+ being difficult for 5 singles if you are very close to your 1RM. Nice way to get some volume in

Yeah I might just hit 2 or 3 singles, depending how I feel that day and then move onto the BBB sets

strong pressing marine! like your approach with singles..

[ktj4l]

Fuark, anyone else get goosebumps watching the football hits video? Almost makes me consider playing again until my knees are busted, haha. Almost.

The best are the hits from the 50's, 60's and 70's before they actually cared about player safety...

[ktj4l]

And a solid effort on that OHP. Yeah buddy!

[Jasonk282]

Thanks, I'll see how it goes Wednesday with 3+ squats.

Deacon Jones head slapping mofos is golden. Unfortunately I wasn't big enough to play d-line, so I had to settle for strong safety on defense.

Thanks, I liked the singles afterward.

He always wore a cast but never had a broken arm or wrist...Classic.

There always Mel Blount, Jack Tatum , Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater or John Lynch to model your FS skill set.

Like a boss.

True. Lott is probably my favorite. Lynch is up there. In recent years, Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed come to mind. And you can't forget about Night Train Lane! Unfortunately you can't hit like that anymore without getting ejected, haha.

My main position was running back, but I usually played both offense and defense.

Nice workout. WIth the three day a week approach, are you just going to shorten your deload and do a cycle a month?

[Jasonk282]

Yup. I'm thinking I'll just combine two days together so I just like dead/OHP.

[Jasonk282]

Fcuk that was a horrible game we played. For some reason we always seem to play down to our competition. We handle the Gmen with no problem but the KC Chiefs we have to beat in OT. I know thre are times when you just have to win ugly games...but damn. AND Ben's shoulder is now an issue since he left the game at the start of the 3rd quarter. Hopefully it's OK cause Leftwich looked awful and we got Baltimore twice in the next 3 weeks.

[ddog171]

Ben is a tough bird, he should be back. Also, the Chiefs were bound to have a good game. A lot of their games they shoot themselves in the foot by turning the ball over at horrible times, last night they protected the ball a lot better somehow given the horrible weather conditions.

I was expecting that game to be an epic rape and it ended up being a great one. I don't care about either team, so I just wanted a good game to watch. Nice for you that the Steelers won, but that Big Ben shoulder situation could make the rest of the season rough, depending on how badly he's hurt.

Minus the holding on a TD and the interception in OT. But yeah we'll know more on tuesday about Ben. Though they are calling it a sprained shoulder right now

Well he did say at the begnning on the season that he had RC problem...I'm sure that made it worse. I expect him to be back though for the Ravens. There is no way he sits that game out...hell he playing with a high ankle sprain last year.

[ktj4l]

Ankle will be painful especially for a fairly mobile QB like Big Ben, but a shoulder injury will throw off your accuracy. If it's just a sprain, he should be good to go for the next game though.
