ha ha! I haven't had breakfast yet only first cup of coffee.

How do you drink your coffee? Black and two splenda here!

I totally can understand the 'memory lose'.
I mean I don't even remember my pet stegosaurus...LOL!

Coffee, flavored, with 1tbs of fat free 1/2+1/2 and 1.5 packets of splenda.
Current flavor is Raspberry Mousse.
My favorite is Cherry Vanilla.

form's lookin very solid JP! question: how do you count sweeteners like splenda/equal/etc.? i mean when dieting that is, offseason it's prolly not a big deal. i know there's been several threads posted but you never can get a solid answer

Today was the closest I've ever been to puking lol. Damn good work out though.

PR on the good mornings I guess, I've just never attempted to go that high. 195 was a good weight for 6, I'll keep bumping from there. Always tough finding a weight that works the first time.

I got some plans/ideas coming up for the next couple months that I'll share soon

2nd set

very solid workout JP, i have a love/hate relationship with SGM. I love what they do for my hams and erectors, but man do they suck at the time. they also make my hams REALLY sore, similar to SLDLs

You feel the hammies in SGM that much? I feel it in regular good mornings more than seated. Def. a different exercise for me, I'll continue them until Juggernaut is done then I'll be switching things up all together, prob. be done with it.

yep, i tend to keep my feet out in front of me more than most so it puts a stretch on that ham/glute tie in... the primary movers are still my erectors, mostly in the middle back but i still hit hams some. and any exercise that is an elongation exercise like that makes me INCREDIBLY sore for some reason, like unable to stretch/walk/flex sore. i like what they do for my front squat stability but i haven't done them in a while

[TakedaShingen]

Not a real fan of good mornings, but that's a strong GM.

Mirin the cupcakes!!! At this stage, better than nudez.

Juggernaut - Week 10 - OHP-5's Wave

OHP - 1 x 2@105, 1 x 2@125, 3 x 5@135, 1 x 7@135

3 board press - 250 x 5@9.5, 235 x 5@8.5, 235 x 5@9RPE

Tbar - 185 x 12@8.5RPE, 185 x 12@9RPE

DB Curl - 22.5 x 12@9, 20 x 12@9

MISC

Happy with the 7 on OHP, I probably had another 1 or 2 maybe even 3 in the tank.

AMAP on squat for the 5's wave tomorrow then I'm on vacation until Wednesday. Tomorrow is going to be tough because I just had my DL day yesterday so I'm def. not 100% recovered (usually have saturday off and squat sunday). Time to man the fuark up!

[Bnizzle163]

You guys are wimps. Black coffee ftw

Man, your OHP is very respectable. Have you noticed a solid increase since TJM?

I drink it black and two splenda homie!

Yeah OHP has def. made nice gains. Especially since switching to proper form. I had pressed 185 before with crap for (not locking out over head, more out front). I can now Press 185 no problem with proper form. I'd suspect I could probably lock out 195 right now.

Thanks for the good words man! TJM is coming to an end though! Time for new things

Saturday my friend

I didnt think there were secrets in the trust tree

Juggernaut - week 11 - Squat - 5's wave

Squat - 285 x 8 (AMAP)

Hack squat - 2pps + 25ps x 12@9RPE, 2pps + 10ps x 12@9RPE

Sumo DL - 335 x 6, 6

Adductor - 135 x 12@9RPE, 125 x 12@8RPE, 125 x 12@9RPE

Misc

Happy with my squats. 1RM projected is 355 which would be a 10 pound PR, and it usually projects under for me so that's good

Sumo's felt great. I worked on fixing my form a bit with advice from Eric Koenreich. I spread my stance out a bit more, and made sure my arms were straight down as opposed to in at an angle a bit. Seemed to help a lot!

I have a lot of other thoughts but I don't have the time right now. I also have some videos from today but forgot my cord at work so they will have to wait too. Off to pack and head up to the mountains for the weekend! I'll talk to you guys on Wednesday

[hamiltronj]

Hey JP, strong lifting going on in here. Also, food looks great as always brother. Hope all is well.
