310 x 3
multiple sets above 300? What is this? hell yea I'll take it! These were challenging but I pushed through them. Stayed tight and didn't fall forward like I often do on heavy sets. dat back work paying dividends

Lmfao, should rename this thread to:

Got Wood 2: Bigger, Harder, Cereal

I should really start incorporating FS into my routine, it'll probably iron out some muscle and strength inconsistencies Haha.

Mountain hike looked cool man, I love stuff like that, I wouldn't stop until I reached the summit haha, great stuff.

EDIT: Fuark! Mirin that video, bench looked easy for you man.

[jshaw5]

Awesome squats wood man, you buried those reps. Tempted to neg for not just throwing on 3 plates though Sick chins too, is that a PR?

Lol I do enjoy my cereal- bedtime snack every night!

Front squats are an awesome lift, I love em!

And thanks! This weeks training and hiking were both awesome, leg workout of peace climbing that thing

Thanks dude! Not sure if that's a chin PR or not. Tied maybe?

Hah was tempted to throw on 3 plates but trying to stick with the plan. Those extra jumps cost me last spring (and things were going awesome to that point!)

[MainelyMan]

Wow!

That is all...

[thehobbes]

Wow that's some damn fine squatting Woody! x2 on the bp, you owned it.

[The Solution]

lmao
Looking back over my spreadsheet, 3500 usually brings me to high 170s, low 180s. gotta push 4000+ to break 190. No idea how I broke 200 a few years back hah.

sitting at 174.5 the past two mornings. For the past 2 weeks I've been going a bit lower carb on my off days. 172.5 was the lowest, but that was only for one day.

Mirin squat video. You make a face like me when you lift, that "squeezing out a massive turd" face

Saturday 9.13.2014- Shoulders


Nice morning session! Continued with my 5/3/1 style Klokov and Incline CGBP. smooth sailing!

I had some extra time so I threw in some treadmill work at the end, mostly because I don't have any hiking planned for this weekend so I might as well do a little bit of cardio work (plus I"m going out to eat later and a few extra cals burned always helps )


Warmup:
Treadmill- 4.5 min
Band Pull Apart Variations- 150 total reps
BB Complex- RDL/ Front Squat/ OHP/ Back squat/ Klokov Press x5 reps each x3 sets


Klokov Press- 5/3/1 Week 2
75 x 5
95 x 5
105 x 3
110 x 4
117.5 x 8 PR
nice rep PR. had another 2 in the tank but no sense killing myself

Incline CGBP- 5/3/1 Week 2
45 x 10
135 x 5
160 x 3
170 x 3

Shoulder Shocker Giant Set:
Seated Plate Front Raise/ Seated DB Lateral Raises/ Seated DB Clean n Press

bumped the DBs to 20s. it was brutal, shoulders just torched before the first set was even over. Love it

Mirin squat video. You make a face like me when you lift, that "squeezing out a massive turd" face

Thanks dude! lmao I call that my Popeye face

[ErikTheElectric]

I seriously need to give that grip stance on the incline bench a shot, that 180 set looked like a friggen warmup for you... you strong MF.


Nice work them klokovs! You're literally doing them exactly how dimitri does them, which is admirable (taking them down to the neck).


Solid presses brother. Killing it!

[Reko1993]

Cardio woody? Really? Lol just lol

Thanks my man!
I like phasing those Klokovs for a sec at the bottom of each rep. I can't quite go all the way to the collars with my grip but it's wide enough that I don't hit the ceiling

Cardio woody? Really? Lol just lol

Lol gotta make sure I don't lose any conditioning since I'm not hiking any mountains this weekend

[Woody-5]

Oh lawd I'm in trouble now

[The Solution]

Wish i had your metabolism. For real.

[Woody-5]

The bar is called Woodys and the burger is called woodys lol

Triple stacked, blue cheese, bacon, jalapeños, mushrooms, Swiss cheese and nacho cheese sauce

When they brought it out another customer came over to our table to ask if he could get a picture of it hah
I got props from both waitresses for finishing it

Wish i had your metabolism. For real.

Lol well I've behaved all week

[jshaw5]

That burger.

[Prednisone666]

thats the only way to do klokovs man, wide grip and all the way down. Good chit Woody.

Also really mirin that Incline CGBP. Have you tried doing them paused?

[LadyLore420]

In for Woody snatching.

[hostelmaniac]

Idk how people do Klokovs they scare the chit out of me. One wrong movement and you snap your shoulders in half lol.

(I know there is a risk with any exercise and the same could be said about a lot of em. Just saying this one seems extra risky hah)

Haven't tried pausing the incline CGBP variation as of yet

In for Woody snatching.

that's one lift that I haven't attempted yet. Maybe someday when I'm feeling brave

this happened, I was there, I saw it!

There's an old mansion built in 1914 on a mountaintop estate over in NH that we visited yesterday. Some rich shoemaker built it to retire in way back then. Pretty badass place, sick views of the mountains and lakes, lots of new technology that was pretty much unheard of at the time.

little video of it with some clips and stills, plus a waterfall that was just a short hike from one of the parking lots.

[fittofattofit]

You live in a beautiful part of the world ... miring' the views from the 'Castle in the clouds' and on the walk with your dad
Great form on all of those vids .. really strong and easy on the 260 benching and on the inclines, super strict on the klokovs, and great depth and rebound on those squats .. 2nd set form looked perfect to me. Looking very lean despite the woody burger

[BabyOilBrah]

dude you're just killin the k presses, I'm mirin so hard. Great workout.

Thought of you over the weekend. I hiked Jay Peak in northern VT, was up there for a buddy's wedding.

Lifts felt great last week! I'm fibally adding some calories back in so the body will be loving the extra fuel and recovery

Hah that burger was awesome! Gotta have a treat every so often
