Some Madcow gains in the near distant future mang?

Welcome back!

hah thanks man. I plan to do madcows (w/ slightly altered DL stuff) for the majority of the year and then maybe smolov to finish it off

[Filmbuff81]

HELL YEAH!





what are you doing for madcow DL? I am just doing straight vanilla madcow after some serious breakage myself.

Week 5 starts tomorrow.

Ha^

Each week I'll alternate between a top set of 3 and a top set of 5--similar to the Madcow's Friday set of 3 that is a "preview" for the following weeks Monday set of 5 with the same weight. I'm also doing SLDL instead of hyperextensions as assistance work.

Alternating between 3 and 5 is just to keep me mentally fresh/excited. 5's over and over (for DL) is just blah. SLDL bc I want beastly hammies and stuff

sounds intriguing.

I am doing power cleans and rows, so I'd probably keel over if I added in SLDL haha. but maybe I'll try them out in place of the 45 degree hypers.

^^ good to see you guys are still lurking. My latest lifts are 365x5/265x5/455x3. RPE was 8/9/7ish?

Squats/deads feel great...not so much on bench. Madcows week 2 day 3 later today.

[jdyqf]

Wait, so you really did drop weight. What made you make the drop?

[Schultzy85]

Still in for more madcow gains.

[showmestate08]

Straight to the cliffs:
-took time off from the gym to focus on school
-started again around the summer
-plan to keep at it this fall as long as grades hold up
-no plans of competing atm-- just having fun hitting the weights again
-BW is floating around 217. Most recent lifts are ???/385/625
-Running George Leemans PROM DL program and a modified TSA intermediate/ RPE program that has recently come out (I've dropped the OHP day and am doing full ROM rack presses vs doubled monster minis).

Good to see you're still around. I've missed powerlifting/the powerlifting community.

Oh just that you're another ghost coming out of the woodwork to post again. and for some reason I quoted a mission impossible title.

You and a few others I follow vanished at the same time as if ya'll died.

Welcome back

The gang's all back this is awesome. Jealous of deadlift strength straps or not. I wouldn't break the floor with that lmao. Good stuff man. Don't leave us again.. inb4 400 club bench

This PROM program seems pretty legit. I'm shooting for 650+ once the program is over in a couple months.

400 will happen soon Paused/dead-stop rack presses vs bands are probably my new favorite variation of benching.

[showmestate08]

8/23

Bench
295 x 3s x 4r

CG Bench
295 x 2s x 3 r @6-6.5. This was supposed to be 2x3 @8 but I'm a noob to RPE and did not read some charts correctly. I shouldve been using 315 or so rather than 295.

Tricep extensions
3s x failure

Pretty easy day. I'm pumped for tomorrow's deadlift session... 700lbs to failure at a 7inch ROM.

[adamsz]

I remember this log!

Welcome back bro. Nice to see you liftin again.

Nice.. Gonna do some serious dead benching in a couple weeks. I love bands but mine broke.. Goin for 405 bench in 2 weeks TnG. Keep this log updated for motivations pleeze

hmm if you get 405 I might have to attempt it myself

Hey baby girl

Hey there honey boo

[showmestate08]

8/24 PROM week 3

Rack Pulls- 7inch ROM (slightly above the knees)
700x13

Leg Press
770x15

1 inch deficit deadlifts
410x13

Yates Rows
315x12

T-bar rows
45,90,135,180x 10
225x4

Back Extensions
135x15

This isn't even close to the full PROM deadlift day. The remaining upper back, legs, and abs stuff will be done on Wednesday.

The highlight of this workout was that I didn't get any headaches like I have in previous workouts. They've been pretty brutal and would basically put me out of commission for the remainder of those workouts. I stopped taking my preworkout and creatine...I dunno if there's any correlation or not but it feels good to lift without feeling like I'm going to have an aneurysm.

[showmestate08]

8/25 Bench

Bench Press vs Doubled Monster Minis
...
255, 265, 275x3

CG Bench
...
320x1
350x2

Dips
BWx50

Dropping the RPE program. Switching to my own thing which basically consists of alternating between bench, paused rack presses vs bands, and incline. Rep schemes alternate as well as the intensity (8-9 RPE, and 10RPE). Monster sets (15+) are thrown in on occasion.
