cool thread man. strong lifts. u natty?

I dont have abs and total less than 2000, of course Im natty brah.

A few updates on training. Re-organized things into more of an upper lower type scheme. I'm hoping this will help with recovery week to week. I'm also caught up on bills(new job going good), so I'm eating like a big boy again. Training feels good and I'm expecting steady progress. Next time I load up 600 on a squat bar it will be for reps..

Anyway this was what I did for the week

Day 1
-Squat 480 3x3
-RDL 315 3x8
-Horizontal cable row
-1 armed lat pull down(these are good)

------------------------------------------

Day 2
-Bench 315 3x3
-Pendlay row, sets of 5 ending with 245
-OHP 135 3x8
-Bicep and Calf

---------------------------------

Day 3
-Deadlift 495 3x2
-Squat 315 for a few sets of 5, then 365x5(this will be rotated with box squats weekly)
-Leg press
-Prowler push(cardio)

------------------------

Day 4
-OHP 180 3x5
-Bent over row 225 3x8
-Bench 255 3x8(close grip, med grip, competition grip)
-Arm & calf
-Grip work(had a lot of fun with this)

So I've been training at a gym owned by an arm wrestler(Grinder Gym in San Diego). So naturally he has alot of grip and forearm implements. Today I realized there is a huge disparity in my grip strength with something thin(like a barbell) as opposed to something thicker that requires a more open handed grip. I focused on an implement that is basically a fat grip with some nylon strapping that you use to semi rotate around the grip area. It causes the implement to try to pry your fingers/hand open as you hold it. I did some static holds and wrist curls. I'll get a vid next week

I wish World's had a prowler

The prowler is the real deal. I loaded up 3 plates each side the first time. Ran down and back and threw up a lil lol. Using less weight now..

This was a long week. I work security at a busy downtown piano bar. We had 15 royal marines get drunk and rowdy on friday night. It looked like a scene out of roadhouse..

Day 1
Unfortunately I missed my first day of training because my gym was closed on labor day. Decided to say fuk it and just let that day go. No heavy squats this week.

------------------------------------------

Day 2
-Bench 325 3x2(3 sets of 2)
-Pendlay row, ended with 255x5
-Dbell pressing, sets of 8-10, think I stopped at 85's for 3x8-10
-Bicep and Calf

---------------------------------

Day 3
-Deadlift 510 2x2
-Box Squat 285 5x3(still very new to these, but they seem to strongly re-enforce glute activation to get the weight moving. I think they should offer some carry-over)
-Leg extensions
-Prowler push(cardio)

------------------------

Day 4
-OHP 185 3x4
-Bent over row 230 3x8
-Bench 260 3x8(close grip, med grip, competition grip)(I also use minimal/no arch on the close and medium grip)
-Arm & calf
-Grip work(did blobs, forearm curls with a rolling thunder grip on a cable, and the standing strap thing)

Squats this week were a bit off. Especially the 3rd rep of each set. Might have done too much sitting this weekend. May have brought my stance in too narrow on 1st set as well. I also noticed I'm externally rotating my feet alot on bench(something I used to do awhile back).

Day 1
-Squat 500 2x3
-RDL 335 3x8
-Horizontal cable rows and pull downs

------------------------------------------

Day 2
-Bench 330 2x3
-Slingshot Bench 330x8
-Pendlay row 225x5, 245x5, 265x5
-OHP 140 3x8
-Bicep and Calf
