Overview:

Bench was pretty hard today. Harder than I felt it should've been. Was way low on energy today, dunno what was goin on. Even when I was gripping the bar on the very first workset, my body felt like a gas tank running on empty. All that being said, I was able to hit my reps, and finish the sets. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job of carbing up, not sure.

Went lighter on the accessories. Sets of 245 next week. Next workout though, more light squats and see how the glute responds.

Way low on energy and still knocking 240 for 3 x 5, impressive!

Mirin the bench and excuse my ignorance but what is a tate press?

Overview:

I'm doing squatting by feel right now. The 275 triple felt a lot better than I thought it would. I could've had 5, but just decided to stay with the triple for now. For some reason, I decided to close my stance a little. It wasn't completely Oly-style, but I closed my stance and my feet were pointed in a slight angle. Maybe consciously I did it to take the stress off of my hammies/glutes.

Bench today felt ok. The second set of 245 didn't feel all that great and the last rep was even a slight grinder. Bounced back on the last set and it went up a lot better. Really gonna try and make the effort to eat like crazy, because I've made it back to my arch nemesis weight of 250, which I've never done for even 1 set of 5 reps, let alone do it for 3 sets of 5...

Good to see your squats are getting back up there with no pain. When do you think you'll start introducing some volume?

Nice job with the bench, sounds like you're going to smash through that 250.

[Ironlife]

Nice to see you still around big chap.

What do you do for a crust?

Thx man. As far when I'll get back to volume, I honestly don't know. Like I said, just playin it by feel for right now. But if things go well this week, I'll probably start volume again the following week.

I definitely hope I get 3x5 of 250. Been haunting me for a few months now...

Nice to see you still around big chap.

Thx! But what's a crust? lol

[Woody-5]

Pain free squats for the win!
Nice benching- give 250 hell!!

[BabyOilBrah]

glorious BB rows, not light by any means. Solid workouts mane, 245x3x5 is impressive. I know I'm busy at work too.

Thx Woodman! I'll give it my all. I so wanna break thru that barrier right now.

lol Thx brah. Minor short term goal is 225 on BB Rows. That's a light day for you.

250 must go down man.

What are your thoughts on my squatting though? Any suggestions/advice?

I think you need to stick to linear progression rather than going by feel.

edit - perhaps try the russian progression.

[Ironlife]

Lol a job u silly american


Whats your job

[Juggernaut0]

No, I just meant that I'm going by feel as far as easing my way back into moderate squatting or increasing volume. I want to go back to the linear 3x5, just trying to figure out when and if I've had enough rehab time to go back to 3x5 now. That's all. lol

Lol a job u silly american

Warehouse work. Nothin special, but something to pay the bills for now. lol

Oh ok, well I can't tell you when, if you feel good enough go for it. No pain when squatting? Jump back into it.

So far, no glute pain at all man. We'll see how things play out next workout. Cuz next workout is indeed my squat day.

I know you narrowed your stance. Do you squat low or high bar, and when you narrowed your stance did you change bar position?

Squat low bar. Didn't change bar position. Is that bad? lol

[BabyOilBrah]

Squat low bar. Didn't change bar position. Is that bad? lol

No it's actually a good thing, low bar, regardless of how narrow you make your stance puts more emphasis on the PC than high bar due to your torso be forced forward. The fact that you squatted 275 like that, despite the narrower stance, and still didn't feel any pain is a good indicator.

Sounds good, a job is better than having no job.




best live performance for a long time

Overview:

Short workouts, just got the main stuff in. Been real busy lately. 285 squat felt harder than I felt it should've compared to last squat workout with 275. Next squat workout, gonna do volume. Just a matter of what weight I wanna work with.

Next workout, 3x5 of 250 on bench.

[mstatefan91]

Good work Juggz. Get done what you can get done

Thx man. Still far behind you. Doin my best.

i wish i could squat that much

[Juggernaut0]

i wish i could squat that much

No, don't wish. DO IT. You don't want my weaksauce strength tho. lulz

[Woody-5]

Nice work dude
I'd try to get in some squat volume even if its at light weights. Volume at lighter weights seems like it would be more beneficial than a couple heavier singles

Thx Woodman. I know I wanna go lighter, just a matter of what weight. My core work has also been lacking lately though too. Need to pick that up.
