87's workout vids

[nitroboie]

Excellent squats, nice grinder too! My shoes from maxbarbell arrived today. They were having a special, so they only ended up being $40, so it will be interesting to see how long they last.

S4ndm4n and gym mouse will also be there, and I think Torrtrefireto might be making the trip down as well. BB.com will be rollin' deep!

Yeah, I finally bit the bullet and shelled-out the money for a pair of OLY shoes. Been talking about wanting a pair for so long that I just needed to go ahead and do it.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meet!

hey 87, what routine are you currently following? Nice vids man!

[87lifter]

I have my own made-up routine right now. Just testing some things to see what works

Currently:
Monday-Press Day (usually start with CGBP for heavy triples, DB floor presses, Various DB raises for shoulders, and then speed benches)
Tuesday-Light Cardio
Wednesday-Squat Day (squats, ghetto GHR's, Knee extns, intense cardio [running/sled work])
Thursday-Bench Day (paused bench, CG Incline, Various DB raises for shoulders, Flys)
Friday-Upper Back/Biceps (pulldowns, BB rows, seated rows, DB curls)
Satuday-Work (light/medium cardio)
Sunday-DL assistance (GoodMorning Variation [do 3weeks and then one week of DL's before switching to a diff. variation of GM], heavy bar holds, ghetto GHR's, Calf raises)

I came up with this routine because I like being able to lift 5days/wk and at first the two days of benching was really helping out my numbers. But I think the volume while trying to lose weight is actually counter productive because some of my lifts are starting to stall. So I think after the comp I'm going to switch to the 5/3/1 plan with MAYBE a 4th day thrown in as my "bodybuilder" day or something haha!

Deadlift today. Been doing heavy GM's and GHR's for my DL workouts but figured I'd DL today and next week to get the form back b4 the comp. pretty happy with my pulls

[nitroboie]

Easy. You gonna open with that?

haha I WISH! it was actually a pretty tough pull, it's just that vids of my lifts always look easier than they feel. That'll be my goal for the meet. Probably gonna open with 450...

Last heavy Squat day before the meet:
Squats- worked-up to 435 for a single and then hit 370 for 5 reps on the way back down
Ghetto GHR's-

Finished with 3sets of 10reps of knee extensions

After lifting I got in a protein shake and then drove home to do some sled work:

Looking real good. I'm looking forward to your updates!

[nitroboie]

Now you just have to get on the roster! What's up with that?

Now you just have to get on the roster! What's up with that?

Well I ran out of checks early this month when I paid rent so I was waiting for some to come in. I just sent out my form today so I should be on the roster by mid next week I would guess

I was actually looking thru the roster the other day and one of the guys in my weight-class competed there last year and it said he benched 414 or something ridiculous like that. I hope the other guys are NOT that strong haha!

[87lifter]

Went in this morning and hit my planned openers for the meet on Saturday. First time lifting in my singlet. Thought it was gonna be weird but I really didn't mind it at all

Squat: 400lbs


Bench: 265lbs


Deadlift: 450lbs

[87lifter]

Solid lifting man. Really looked like you had more in you for bench. A lot more.

[skiboy1955]

Nice lifts and the bench seems light too.

Yeah, the bench was light as S@#T! It was my opener actually so that's why
After we did openers, they changed head judges and the new guy made us stop the bar on our chest, then basically counted to 3 in his head before giving a press command. So obviously that made the lifts VERY hard and I failed my 2nd and 3rd attempts, both at 295lbs

[87lifter]

I'm starting a bit of a new lifting routine since my comp is over and I figured I would start a workout log in that section as well. So instead of posting videos here and having a separate log for the write-up, I figure I'll just put the videos in that log as well. So here's the link for those of you that are interested in following my videos still
