Crazy Kraut's Lifting Log

impressive numbers man, you look like 180 lbs in the pic but with these numbers must be a bit heavier?

I'm 5'6", 187lbs right now. Probably around the same in that picture. The heaviest I've been was 196lbs when I played football, but I'd probably have to drop below 180lbs for a six pack. Luckily that's not a goal, because I love to eat.

Forgot to mention I tried watching the expendables 2 today. Your acting has really slacked off some

Tried watching it, even with a few beers in me I couldn't finish it, what a terrible movie. I mean I know the first one wasn't amazing but it was really entertaining, the second one was complete garbage. It would take a better man than I to watch the whole thing.

[Jakeylee]

Mental , nutritional, or rest related. Not the programs fault. You can always reset

Had to be mental.

I love Cabin in the Woods, it's a movie that has pretty much everything in it.

Well this has saved me some time.


Krauts log can now be renamed the movie thread.

Strong as always bro. Good pull.up work

[iron619]

206x4 is damn good for a strict press man, you've doubled my RM with that weight.

I see you increased total volume on pullups. Do you prefer doing just body weight pullups for high reps or weighted pullups for lower reps? Lately, I've been leaning on doing heavy pullups because I think it might carryover to increasing strength moreso than just body weight.

[Celtic8Laoch]

**** kraut that's impressive, have you pressed the 100kg over head yet?

[ktj4l]

Strong as always bro. Good pull.up work

Thanks.

Thanks man. It was a good day today.

I did weighted for a while, but I want to focus on doing twice the amount of pulling as I do pressing per Wendler's recommendations. I'd be completely smoked if I did that weighted and I didn't really see much carryover to anything from doing weighted chins for lower reps, so it's body weight for now. 5 reps of body weight pullups between OHP sets seems to be that sweet spot for me where it doesn't really affect OHP. Once I'm used to the higher volume, I might throw in weighted sets after the main lift. I'll still want double the pulling volume though.

There is no way to do neutral grip pullups at my gym, which is why I throw in the lat pulldowns. I do my pullups on ab slings with a pulldown bar pulled through. If I ever get around to putting together a home gym, I plan to have a wall mounted pullup bar with all kinds of different grips.

**** kraut that's impressive, have you pressed the 100kg over head yet?

Yeah, but only for a single. I want to get 105kg in the near future and also press 100kg for reps, so I have plenty of work ahead of me.

[Jasonk282]

As always, strong workout.

[Jakeylee]

I need to tell my mates that you can press more than they can bench. Would be good motivation for them. Great effort Kraut. Do you recommend the multiple sets of first set last or is it too early to tell?

Good. I was gonna stop lifting anyhow (when I'm dead in my grave).

Might as well, everytime I come in here - no PRs.

I like them a lot. If you don't need a bunch of volume like BBB, then they're the way to go.

You're in luck, I got a PR today.

strong workout. nothing like hitting a PR on your lift before your main lift.

[Jakeylee]

About time. 3 plate front squat is mental. I'm awaiting pictures for when your thumb is ripped off from the hook grip.

Think I'll give the multiple sets a go when I'm trying to gain strength again.

[Juicemw]

Sick work as always Kraut man. Sorry I havent posted in anyone's logs for a few days. Been busy.

[ktj4l]

I'm always happy about progress, especially with any type of squat.

I'm wondering if I can pull my next PR with a hook grip. Would be pretty awesome.

Still cutting? It might even work for that. To me it makes a lot more sense than running BBB on a cut or something, but opinions are like a$sholes.

Hopefully you've been busy pumping and humping.

[Juicemw]

Something like that . I do have some serious bruises from a few nights ago. It's crazy what a few bites in your shoulders can turn into in a few days. Even from a 105 pound girl.

Damn, first it's films we clog up Krauts thread with and then it is wet, juicy gossip.
