Got Wood? Woody's Lifting Journal

[jshaw5]

WTF, how did I miss this?!?!?!? Despite the quaking, that sh!t looked easy bro, flew right up. What's that +40 so far? I can definitely see a round of Hudson in the near future for me, maybe end of summer

[punkybj]

Wow, HUGE lift! You're turing into a beast!

Thanks fella! +40 indeed! Speed off the ground was excellent. I tend to get the full body quakes when locking out heavy pulls.
Best to pepper your lower back before a Hudson run

Wow, HUGE lift! You're turing into a beast!

thanks Punky!

Hey Woodman, don't know if you've been contacted or not but there is a really good opportunity to log some supplements from ProMera.
Here's the thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=145795071
Check it out!

Edit: Awesome pull man!

Sweet will check that out!

But I don't want to mess up my feminine curves.

Lol that would be no good

Wednesday 6.20.12- Hudson Deadlift Week 11

The final heavy week of Hudson! And I survived it! The only thing left now is to do some light stuff for Week 12 and then reap the gains on max day.

let's just say I was not feeling it coming into today. Back is still a little tweaked from squats on Saturday, heat wave rolling through today so it's humid as fuk and uncomfortable plus I had some indigestion going on to start the workout. For a second I thought about taking an extra day off, but that could turn into two days, and so on.... Best to soldier on.

Deadlifts
225 x 5
275 x 3
315 x 1
365 x 1
415 x 1
475 x 1 PR!
I kept feeling like I was gonna puke when i started, which really worried me about when I put my belt on tight and tried yanking a PR. Luckily i came out of it. 475 is a huge PR. It came off the ground nicely then slowed up a little bit at lockout. Got the whole body quaking a bit at the end. feelsgoodman, especially not feeling up to par. After a rest week, I'm gonna come back and own 500.

SLDL
225 x 3
275 x 3
with the back tweaked before the workout, then fatigued from the 475 pull, i made the executive decision to go light on these.

Rack Squats
315 x 1
385 x 1
415 x 1
475 x 1 PR
good stuff!

Shrugs
325 x 10 PRs
325 x 10

Do eet! There will be pain lol

Thanks my man! So stoked to have matched that bench PR. Gives me faith that the lower volume 5/3/1 is at least keeping my bench steady

[dopamine72]

lol good stuff Woody. Once you get to a weight that's close to your 20 rep max the pain will be insane.

[BabyOilBrah]

grats on matchin the bench there and hitting a nice 20 rep front squat bro! Tiring eh?

[Woody-5]

Thanks guy! Need to Put in some time on the treadmill so my lungs can keep up with my legs.

Thanks big guy! Tiring as fuk! After my workout I had to stop halfway up the basements stairs and rest for a few before finishing the climb.

Damn beast bench and front squat work! Your a unit for sure. Great job woodman

Thanks my man! Fronts are awesome- your back stays upright so they're easy to sink deep. They really hammer the quads hard. It takes some upper back strength too because the bar is trying to pull you forward

Thanks mate! Felt good to hammer out a good session. I haven't been happy with the last couple bench days. I've got 260 as my top set next Monday. Hoping to hit a double!

[TKD]

Excellent Woody!!! That 475 DL attempt went up so easy off the floor. Lockout, of course, looked harder. I've always had it harder off the floor..wish it was the other way.
These rack squats still have my interest! I may have to try and work these in!!!


Top lifting mate!!

[jshaw5]

Solid benching woody. Glad to see you're maintaining your strength. LOL after I finished watching your bench, this video came up as one of the recommended videos to watch. EPIC form.


Nice fronts too. Just curious, wtf is with 142.5 lbs for that?

[MatTheCur]

What is with the shaky leg?

LOL, that form was awesome. Guess I should work on mine a bit....

142.5 lol- everyone was doing 135, so I figured I'd up it to 140 then threw my 1.25 plates on just to make it a weird number to avoid ties. Although that vid will be irrelevant soon when I attempt a heavier weight for x20

lol that whole video was win

haha, I like your style!

What do you think you will attempt next time? 225 still winning? That's pretty beastly.

[jshaw5]

No one has done more than 225 yet. One guy did 225 in the 181 weight class, that's insane. Are you going to get in on the action?

[Woody-5]

Couple have hit 225x20. One guy did in my weight class but they were high.

I'd like to attempt somewhere around 165. I'd really like to hit 200x20 but that's a ways off. I'm pleased to have hit 142.5x20 considering I haven't front squatted in months.

Link? I have not seen this. Not that I want to get it on it, front squats are the worst thing ever.

EDIT- Nevermind, I found it.

225x20 seems horribly painful lol.

[dk240t]

232.5x20. You got this.
