5/3/1 go!

[Filmbuff81]

Doge was sick for a couple days and had to go to the vet. I was off work with her the last couple days to monitor her. Feeling better and back to daycare for her today, so I'll be off to the gym for deadlifts tonight.


A couple highlights of training I guess lately would be

squat 300x8

bench press 195x8, 220x2

[Filmbuff81]

so confusing

[Filmbuff81]

so confusing

Doge = Shibe = Shiba Inu

Dog = every other dog around.

Shibas get their own special nickname thanks to the net.

edit: to be fair we had a Shiba before it was "cool" to have a Shiba.

Sorry to hear about the pup. Nothing srs I hope

Thanks she is doing a lot better.

She was vomiting non-stop for a little over a day, so the vet had to put her on IV with some meds to help clear her system of whatever was ailing her.

Took blood tests and xrays and all came back normal, so most likely licked or ate something on a walk that messed with her.

Glad to hear she's ok and that her tests all came back normal. Also glad to see you under the bar again. Nice job on those squats.

Highlight reel looking good!

thankya sir.

unfortunately it was an expensive trip to the vet. Ontop of paying off another medical premium bill to the government we're shelling out like 2k over the course of the past 3 weeks.

[Filmbuff81]

Everything except deads. Was just peaking in your log. Squats are looking strong. If you start bringing the same mentality of your squats to your deadlifts they will soar.

[Filmbuff81]

Deadlift
135x3
185x3
235x3
285x3
335x3

Not bad. Haven't pulled anything close to 300 or over 300 in forever.

Reps were very fast, beltless, and DOH.

So I am weak, but not as weak as I thought.

Bench Press
45x10
95x5
135x3
170x3
205x5

Pulldowns x 10,8,6

Seated row x 12,8,4

this must be one of the cutest shibes ever on the webs

[Kentisc]

Does this mean you like deadlifts now?
Glad the doge is doing fine!

It is a cute shibes but mine is even cuter.

I have never hated deadlifts I have just struggled with technique for a long time now after I strained my bicep a couple years ago. I have restrained it twice in that time and so I think frustration more than anything caused me to lose some faith in my form and make me paranoid I'll keep ****ing my bicep up.

But it's holding up decent these days after I instituted high rep curls of some sort after every workout for a couple sets.

[DavoBC]

Workouts looking good! Sorry to hear about the pup. Hope all goes well

[Filmbuff81]

Squats
45x10
135x5
185x5
225x3
250x5
285x3
320x3

Leg curls 2x10

Finished with 4 long ass hill sprints.

Squats were solid. A bit weak after deadlifts the other day, but not horrible by any means.

[pastorpritch]

Solid indeed! Nice n strong bro
Hope you're well

[Filmbuff81]

Thanks! Doing decent aside from the ol wallet right now lol.

Tweaked my left quad slightly on my 285 set but I shall survive.

[MF83]

Caught up from a few pages back. What numbers are you shooting for in your meet?

[MatTheCur]

Good stuff man! Hate hill sprints, but I need to bring them back in. Conditioning has to be a part of any routine, I'm hearing

[Saintsqc]

Not bad. Haven't pulled anything close to 300 or over 300 in forever.


So I am weak, but not as weak as I thought.

Woh, I missed so much.

What happen ?

I'm used to see you squat 3 plates for 10 reps lol.

[Filmbuff81]

Caught up from a few pages back. What numbers are you shooting for in your meet?

No numbers in mind. Just trying to get 1 under my belt so I know what to expect next time out.

We've shelled out nearly 2k in unforeseen expenses the last few weeks, so I am just trying to figure out how to make it work now.

Either way I've spent the year basically rebuilding my base, so I have no expectations other than to learn.

Definitely keeps you fitter and more explosive I think.

Probably no coincidence that my laziness in terms of conditioning the past year is one reason I was getting injured more frequently.

Woh, I missed so much.

What happen ?

I can still do 3 plates for 8-10 reps lol. Just tired so an off day.

Been doing lots of sub max work and reps to just keep building the base up.

How ya been?

[Filmbuff81]

OHP
45x5
95x5
115x3
130x3

Did 135x6 a few weeks back, still feeling tired but this isn't bad.

CGBP
115 4x10

Dips BW 2x5

Pullups BW x 9 or 10 total?

DB row 1x20

Curls 2x20

Facepulls 1x25

Long week caught up with me so I just wanted to do a couple sets of high rep work of a variety of movements.

Now that I've managed to spend some time getting my lifts fairly close to where they were earlier this year I can try to refocus efforts on conditioning and losing weight while maintaining a semblance of strength.

What's your plan on that front going to be? Just adding in 3-5 days of conditioning?

[Anthony21]

Good work grinding away Rory.

[Filmbuff81]

What's your plan on that front going to be? Just adding in 3-5 days of conditioning?

Yeah pretty much going to be doing hill sprints at least 2 x week. Deadlift and Squat days.

I have my kettlebells at home, so a couple days a week I will probably do some snatch or swing ladders too if I don't want to do hill sprints or need to give my feet a rest.

I may follow Simplest Strength Template again since I like the layout, but I may keep the lower body days lower volume due to the conditioning.

Good work grinding away Rory.

thankya sir.

[izzygrant]

you don't feel like adding high intensity cardio challenges your recovery more?
