    Your really strong man, I hope I'm half as strong as you when I'm older.

    Do you have any advice for getting my deadlift up, they've been going down lately and they went down even when my deficits & squats & lockout got stronger. Should I take a break from them?

    Keep sticking with it man. It has taken me a VERY long time to get to where I am now and I still have a lot of work to do.

    How often do you pull heavy? What does the rest of your program look like?

    Well I've been pulling heavy for a pretty long time I guess, I've been doing it once every week for maybe 10 weeks, including the heavy deficits that I did for several weeks. Some people have told me that I was overtraining, but I thought it only took a few days to recover from heavy pulls.

    As for the rest of the program, I'm thinking of doing front squats twice to three times a week (similar to madcows), to strengthen/build my quads because although my squat has made huge progress it's really hamstring dominant and looks like a goodmorning. I'm doing close grip bench/tricep assessories on monday and DB bench/chest assessories friday, which has been working great.

    The problem is mainly deadlift. Am I really overtrained from pulling heavy every week, or is it in my head. It's been going down but idk if its cuz of burning out my CNS, or just getting worse at the lift in general.

    Even extreme muscle damage can repair itself in about 72 hours if your diet is on point. It can take up to 2 weeks to return to parasympathetic dominance (i.e. 2 weeks to get nervous activity back to baseline). Nothing stresses nervous activity like having a heavy weight in your hands.

    So, as far as overtraining, you might not be. You just might not be at 100% by the time you are pulling again. I would strongly suggest only pulling heavy once every 3-4 weeks. So if we are talking a month of training, Week 1 could be a front squat, week 2 could be a deadlift variaiton, week 3 a box squat, week 4 some kind of good morning. Something like that. Then focus all assistance work on your weaknesses. It sounds like you could benefit from some speed pulls and lot's of heavy ab work.

    Falling forward in a squat is usually one of three things:

    1. Upper back weakness
    2. Technique issue
    3. Poor hip postioning (you can't flex forward with your hips ext. rotated hard).

    Does this help at all? Sometimes I ramble a little bit and go off topic. haha.

    Yeah man this helps a lot, besides one or two people at my gym I usually can't get any decent advice in regards to the powerlifts. I'm going to take next week off deadlifting just to refresh my back, I pulled heavy to failure for a lot of weeks and I think it will help. However, I thought the method that you recommend is for advanced lifters like yourself, not for crappy lifts like mine. I was thinking of doing a deload after my week off, then working up from there and peaking (pretty much madcows 5x5 for deadlifts). I'm also definately going to implement some speed pulls since my form is out of place from doing deficits only for so long, and ab work cuz I never do it.

    Also, for assistance what would be the best choice after deadlifts, goodmornings or glute ham raises? Goodmornings seems great but idk how much they will benefit me after deads.

    thanks for the advice man

    For the assistance work, figure out where you are weakest and smash it from every angle.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you, my account was just reactivated. haha.

    Back from my month long ban. I promise not to post anymore swinging weiner video's when people say stupid things.

    Pulled 815 at the Arnold. Missed 832 by an inch. Getting ready for nationals in Orlando in June. Shooting for around 2050 and maybe a spot on the World Team... but that's only going to happen if everyone else has a really bad day. There are some strong ass guys in the 275 open. Anyway, I am deloading this week and then starting up a accumulation/intensification transition block next week. That just means I can start lifting heavy $hit again.



    Tuesday-AM-Deload-3-27-12

    Did a bunch of speed bench sets with 225 and a reverse light band

    DB Bench- 100lbs x 35, 23, 18= 74 total

    A billion Throat Presses with 65lbs

    Bent Over Rows-135x4x25




    PM- 500 challenge in 17:24

    I'm not entirely sure but I thought Nationals was using the new IPF classes?

    What exactly is your pre-workout eating/supplementation protocol? I remember you saying that you don't eat before lifting to maximize caffeine's effectiveness and I have a few weeks of non-intense training coming up where I can experiment with different stuff so I thought I might try it out

    Unless I missed something, which I very well may have, it's still the old weight classes for anything non-international. But, like I said, they could have changed it. I have no idea.


    Right now, before heavy training I am slamming as much coffee as I possibly can mixed with 20g protein (enough to inhibit any muscle wasting from not eating before training/after sleeping but not enough to spike insulin), 5g creatine, and some coconut milk.

    During training, I sip on MP Assault the entire workout.

    I do my heavy training pretty early (around 9am) after my early morning clients. Training later in the day requires a little more structure and finesse to get this to work optimally.

    Fair warning, the first couple weeks suck. All your hunger hormones go ballistic because your body is so used to food, mainly carbs, before training. Do your best to ignore it. Once that subsides, someone could crash a frieght train into you while you are squatting and you'd be too focused to even notice it.

    Thanks man, I'll do pretty much exactly that except I'll just do a pre-workout instead of coffee and I might do a tablespoon of coconut oil instead of milk

    Cool, let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with. Also, one thing about your pre-workout, do a check on the ingredients (especially the sweetners if there are any). If there is anything in it that makes your insulin rise even a little bit, you might as well eat a loaf of white bread and a stack of potato pancakes before you train. The key to this is keeping that insulin response as low as possible.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Kinda.


    Bench-Fat Bar- Onyx Bands (the tension on these is nuts)- 205x12x2

    Felt ****ty so just did this:

    Close Grip Fat Bar+onyx bands- x50 reps
    Wide Gripx 50 reps

    Rev. Fat Bar Curls- 75x50
    Onyx Hammer Curls- x50

    Swole, brah.



    Saturday- Returning to parasympathetic dominance/wanted to run myself into the ground- 4-7-12-


    My secret fat burning breakfast:

    A gallon of coffee mixed with coconut milk, 20g whey, 5g creatine. Chugged.

    Secret fat burning workout:
    Prowler w/ 180lbs. Suicides. 10 yard intervals for 30 yards... this is 120 yards per suicide if you are counting. High handles up, low handles back.

    3 suicides in 12:17 actualy trip time. Didnt keep track of rest because it really doesnt matter with this.


    Rolled out my quads/it bands, pretty sure I saw a viking fly by on a teredactyl... he had a megaphone in his hand and kept yelling "Open your mind, Quade" at me. Either the world is finally turning into everything I have ever wanted it to be or I have the Prowler AIDS.

    Sunday-4-8-12-DE Lower- 11 weeks out- This week is a tansitional block. I've got a lot of time but want to get work in my gear. Most of this week will be raw, but heavy.

    SSB Squats-Low Box, Suit Bottoms, no belt- 305+Avg.x2x2, added light bandsx12x2

    Sumo Pulls- Quaded Minis- 315x3x1, 405x9x1<~~~ pretty quick. These always scare the **** out of me because of my hamstring tear. They felt pretty solid today

    Close Stance SSB GMs- Bent knee- 75x20, 165x4x20
    Barbell Side Bends-135x3x10
    Back Ext.- 30lbs x 3x20


    Tire Flips- 400lbs... I knew this was going to be bad today. Since the pollen count is more pollen than air, I was already having an asthma attack from the rest of the workout. I dropped the tire on the ground, hit the stopwatch, bent down, got my first flip. While taking in a huge, deep breath and dropping down for the next flip, the jarring of the tire hitting the ground released a green poison death clown that seemed to bee-line straight for my eyes and open mouth. After about 5 minutes of choking and clawing my eyes out, I managed to get my **** together enough to finish the ****ing exercise.

    Tire- 400lbs- 50 flip in 4:10. PR.


    Now I need to go find one of those high school science lab eye wash stations and hope to god this headache goes away at some point.
