My Progress with 5/3/1 - LETS GET FUARKIN' MASSIVE!

[Jasonk282]

That width is just what is comfortable for me when using a barbel. If I go wider it puts too much strain on my wrists and front delts.

This. I played around with my grip and came to find that I prefer a more narrow grip than anything else.

[BDiamond]

CHECK OUT THAT DEPTH!

Amazing how we progress!

That's right mate it's all about experimenting.

Sure is fella! I have no shame in my older vids, all helps show how I started, how far I've come and where I'm a heading.

Not one person will do every lift as it should be each and every time. When I stall I think what can I do to tweak it. be it closer grip, tighter stance,

Nice pressing brother.

Nice pressing brother.

Thanks man, nearly finished your deload soon

[Anthony21]

Thanks man, nearly finished your deload soon

Yea i'm itching to start my next cycle. I really wanted to try 225 on the bench yesterday but told myself I gotta follow the deload plan.

Go on... do it.... a sneaky rep won't hurt.....

[Anthony21]

hahaha yea but I would of had to warm up for that weight you know what I mean? I just didn't want to do some light deload work then all of a sudden put 225lbs onto the bar. I mentally felt like I could have done it but i'll probably save it for next week.

I know 225lbs doesn't seem like much but it's a short term goal I have set up for myself when it comes to my bench.

You will forever be saying that but just with a different number. I want to finally get that 140kg Bench before the year is out but then after that... then what? You need those short term goals bud.

[Raigs]

Nice session. Glad your liking the oH presses. Then adding in db presses.

[Anthony21]

I definitely agree with you. Those short term goals are what set you up to reach your long term goals.

It's a lot more warm up than you think. When I did 225x1 I went from 190x5, 195x3, 205x1, 215x1 then 225x1.

Yea I need to properly warm up to then press that weight.

[MakeGoBoom]

let me see squats like that ever again....

[lllDBOlll]

LOL Soz Minnie

[jcranston]

That brought the lulz at the office!

[rallyum]

Haha thanks for the shoutout man!

Yeah for sure. I'm not too big of a man to drop the weight, I did it mid cycle with OHP lol. I enjoy doing that for calves, don't feel I can get enough stimulation unless I do crazy as reps like that for the soleus. Straight legged for gastro I do shorter reps and heavier weight.

^^^ Something i always forget, to check the ego at the door. Going on 5/3/1 in a week, excite!



Yes, epic movie and no correlation to what i just said.

Fairly big session, trying to make use of all those extra calories I've had the past few days. Set myself up wrong on my first set of dumbbell rows and felt my lower lat go. It's aching a bit now but not to the point where I feel "immobilized". First injury of the year, had a pretty good clean slate going (other than when I pulled my hamstring but that was nowt).

Will see how I do tomorrow morning. Need to get my Bench session in for the week, then it will be a week of quiet as I am working away... don't think there is a gym nearby... BOOO!

Solid main lifts as usual. I'm always concluding my logs with " lift safely". What part of "safely" didn't you understand? Hope you recover fast, man!

[ktj4l]

Strong extra reps on deads, buddy! Hope your injury heals quickly. You taking ibuprofen or anything?

Never was one for Health and Safety! Haha! It's funny actually, first time I have encountered a problem with that exercise. 45kg is quite light compared to what I have rowed in the past so didn't expect it... truth be told was trying to get an arty farty camera angle... result is a minor injury... won't be doing that again!

Nah to be fair it is not so bad. Just been moving around the house, washing some pots, feels alright. Will see how it feels when I wake up... always the case after lying in one position for a while.

9 reps on a 3 week...good job.

[Anthony21]

I was fuking dying on that Dolly Partner set hahaha....fuking fool man haha. Good sh!t though. One thing I notice though you're raising your hips before you start your pull. Just something I noticed to maybe work on.

[myownprison89]

Welcome to my lovely thread!

Thank you. Will use this thread as motivation and inspiration for when I'm able to hit the gym again.

Had a bulging disc, started working out again, then reinjured it.

Your transformation has shown me what's possible. Hope to be on my way soon.

[Raigs]

Deads followed by more deads nice work. Hope the lats doesnt become a serious thing and by tom its ok.

[jcranston]

I drank a couple 3 Stellas tonight to aid in your healing! Smashing session there!
