SNRYGO'S Bulking log

[snrygo]

Honestly man even if you would have made that last attempt you'd still have basically a 1:1 squat/DL ratio. Not good.

lol i know. my deads need a lot of work but they finally moved with sheiko and so imma stick with it. if further down the road they refuse to move or if it turns out im just being stubborn right now, then ill change things up (ko300 is actually ****ting his brain out because i stuck with a program for 12 full weeks and am about to go and do it again)

1:1 sq:dl ratio and not a geared lifter? da fuq....


lol jk, great meet man. I feel bad that I haven't been to the gym consistently in the two weeks or so due to being sick, getting a little better, then being sick again. Hopefully second round of antibiotics will kick this crap (sinus+ear infection+strep) feelsbadman.

I'll race you to 1k total :-p

lol that's what i wsa thinking.

**** man! strep is hell. get better soon and destroy the weights


dealio. whats the winner get/loser get??

[vitornoob]

[Bnizzle163]

Awesome progress on your squat, Matt. Seems to be improving big time.

Bench is none too shabby, too

[phozosado]

MONSTER lifts - holy ****.

Dammit, man, where the hell did this beast come from?

[KrunkMasterKyle]

FUARKING MIRIN' MEET.

Plan on doing my first meet soon!

[viennafat]

Holy ****, Matt!
Those are huge numbers.
I'm mirin at maximum levels.

That is awesome. Excellent work, brah.
Congrats.

dealio. whats the winner get/loser get??

Lol idk, anything physical would require international shipping. For now let's just use the challenge as motivation. before my month of sickness I had hit 330s, 205b, 440d. Assuming I've got some backtracking to make up for, and that you had at least another 20lbs of DL in you I'd say we're about even right now.

Well first day back after a week long hiatus of probably too much partying lol. Partied Sunday, then went and saw a free concert (social distortion and flatliners) on Thursday and lived it up hard then party again Friday then randomly decided to see a free billy talent show on Saturday and parties a bit then as well. I was def enjoying not being under the influence of anything by about Sunday lol.

Also got my license on Tuesday and looking at cars nao.

[peanut-butter]

You've made some great strength progress from what I remember your lifts to be.

Keep it up!

Man it feels good to be back. MY LATS WERE STILL SORE FROM SUNDAY. PRs on the majority of the session but what really stood out to me was how I could pull 320 balls deep into the session for triples without thinking about it. Yay getting past mental blocks

Last big exam tomorrow then an easy one Thursday and ill be mcDone with school!

It's ezpz and yeah I do! It's a shame VW is 2k more a year to insure otherwise I'd get a rabbit or jetta in a heartbeat!

You've made some great strength progress from what I remember your lifts to be.

Keep it up!

thanks a ton PB . IMO it was a matter of getting on a set program where the only thing I had to do was eat, shut the **** up and lift what it said I was supposed to be. Gains have Berber been this consistent and injury free at the same time

[Bnizzle163]

Talking about getting their licenses... man, that brings back memories. Thanks for making me feel old, guys .

Congrats though, Matt. And awesome workouts lately, too!

[determined4000]

Man it feels good to be back.

gona be feeling it in the back after all that

[Balddude]

The last squat on your meet is pure motivation man, nice work getting that stuff up!

Noticed that your DL foot stance is really narrow too, never seen anyone go as narrow as that. Doesn't matter though, obviously it's working good for you

Great stuff, can't wait to see you break the 1k mark

words do not describe how sore my ass/hams still are from tuesday. sitting down has become an art lol.

thx m8. the crazy part is that i didnt bust out the ammonia until pulls 0.o!!!

yeah i used to pull a bit wider but with the really narrow stance i find i can really use my hips more and also force my knees out whereas with anything wider, my knees fall in (injured my right hip that way actually).

i cant wait to break it either! was contemplating going to worlds in idaho but decided against it so that i can keep building up to the WR without the disraction of a meet 10 weeks away.

[phozosado]

920 total - WOW. So freakin' close to the 1000 pounder club. Just a matter of time.

Squat numbers are inspiring. Fantastic work.

Good session and tons of PRs from the rep ones on 300 and beltless at that. Plus the front squat PRs that really sank in how much sheiko is working for me.

This kind of leads me in to what I wanted to talk about today: objectifying. I was kinda nervous heading into today's session thinking about how I felt the first time I squatted 300... Ridiculous amount of stims, a week's deload beforehand, max volume metal, psyched up like crazy, slight technique breakdown, the grind. Then today I walked in witha week of fatigue, short on sleep, nutrition was horrible the day before, a bit of tea before i trained, and I could just walk up to the bar, get underneath, and smoke it without a second thought and plenty of reps in the tank. What I'm trying to get at is that over the last but I have learned so much about myself through sheiko programming that I've come to understand that in order to progress, all I have to do is put the work in and most importantly trust in the program. If I doubt it that's where things go wrong.

Thanks for following

[Balddude]

Great work on the squat PRs man!

Reading your comments below, I feel that what you have just came to realize is my major flaw. I always have trouble sticking to proven programs without modifying them cause I always question their efficacy. Not sure how many times in the past this had led me to stall. Really gives me something to think about now.

[KrunkMasterKyle]

Nice job on the squats Matt. Great mentality. Your "objectifying" section reminded me of a video Ben Rice did a few days ago.

[ErickStevens]

I have no idea how you get any kind of leg drive off the floor with that deadlift stance. I don't think you have to go full Efferding but I think if you moved your feet out a matter of inches it would help a lot.

holy crap i just noticed that. Matt-move them feet out, thats crazy close

[dchan8]

Next meet: one-legged deadlifts.

[psychodiver9]

Nice job on the meet. Impressive gains. Agree with the thoughts on deads. Can't imagine that stance. Way too close

[anuragp122195]

Those meet lifts looked strong man. Your leg drive is insane.

That squat to DL ratio (strong ass legs bro)....

Today was the day were everything that could have gone wrong in the last bit caught up to me.

In short, I'm cutting out pretty much all of the sticky icky. When I started smoking/vaping semi regularly (once every 7-10 days) it was fine and I was still able to train properly without any real consequences. But after my meet in the week off I indulged a bit more frequently when I had my week off. I was never going super hard, just a nice buzz, but that frequency stuck around and I've been hitting it 4-5 days a week got the last bit and I've been noticing a downward trend in performance/motivation albeit slight up until today when I coupled all that with the fact that I had to train before work which meant waking up at 630. As of today I'm stopping with pot and may have a bit maybe once every 2-4 weeks. It's done to me what alcohol did to me (though I was never a regular drinker) which was why I stopped drinking.

Here's to sobriety.

[dchan8]

"Handle your high".

Sobriety sounds so weird when you say it, though, considering the circumstances.

[anuragp122195]

Not going to lie man, but I wanted to tell you a few months ago to stop getting so distracted by weed and alcohol. I mean weed is essentially benign but it can catch up to your energy levels, training, and overall attitude.

Glad you made a wise choice

Keep up the heavy lifting
