Thank you Swu!

One of my very strong friends does the big 3 3 days a week and loves doin it because it fits his schedule. I've never done that but I agree with you, that's gotta be grueling!

I gotta try that one day!!

Good incline day for me. Hit 205 for 6 and a half (lol). I didn't actually write that down in my notebook of course haha. I just couldn't lock out the seventh. Oh well, still 205 for 6 ain't bad.

Not bad at all man . Strong chest work today too!

Hit a PR today on back squat, felt pretty solid. A bit of a grinder, but none the less a PR.

Congrats on the PR!! I love those paused squats. Those are pretty tough.

[scottyb05]

Nothing wrong with in an out. Work was done! Nice bench day cj

[cjowns76]

Hahaha thanks. I'm really trying to fix my mindset. I'm getting to a point were not every day is going to be a PR. Some days are going to be average; some days are going to be good; some days are going to be bad. It is what it is lol.

I gotta try that one day!!

Not bad at all man . Strong chest work today too!

Congrats on the PR!! I love those paused squats. Those are pretty tough.

Haha my little 11 year old brother does 3 days a week. He wanted to start training so I work with him 3 times a week for like 30-45 minutes. Nothing too extreme, just learning form lol. That being said he did hit 100x3 on Squat last night... I was impressed haha.

Thanks! I think I'm actually getting a good amount of carryover from DB bench to my flat barbell bench. The Paused squats KILLED me. I like them over box squats just because it's more of a raw squat exercise versus the box squat being more of a geared exercise because you push your hips so damn far back.

Hitting deadlifts today. Probably going to go all deficit pulls for conventional then do something like 5x2 on sumo with a weight that I can pull fairly fast (thinking somewhere between 405-455 depending on how gassed I am). After that I'll front squat (no clue how heavy yet lol. It'll be a feel thing). I'll probably throw in some extra lower back work then finish up with some abs.

[cjowns76]

Good **** this morning! Pulled 455 for 2 conventional, 455 for 2 Sumo from a 1 inch deficit, and front squatted 315x3.

Had a whole scoop of jetmass today, delicioso.

Tomorrow is hopefully 415 for 2-3, Tuesday will be bench, hitting a heavy triple at hopefully 260. Wednesday will be deadlift day, hopefully working up to 470 for 2 conventional deadlift. Then Thursday I'm back to incline

Lolz. Well I've been only taking 1/2-3/4 scoops a day. So it's been a bit elongated . I probably have enough for another 10-14 workouts.

Good Squat day. I back squatted 415 for 2; a complete grinder. Then I cambered bar squat 335 for 5, a PR for me.

Wow that is impressive. When is the next rock video though? is it fukked up that we all thought that was funny? lol

So you actually answered a question I was going to ask about what type of squat do you like more. What kind of dead do you like more?

I wish I was strong like you back then. Im still not but I think you get what I mean haha.

Had a whole scoop of jetmass today, delicioso.

This tastes like liquid orange sorbet to me so good!!!

Pullin/pushin some heavy ass weight man. You got a never endin supply of jetmass over there? Lol feels like this has been going on forever haha

40 servings so it lasts quite a while if you only take 1 scoop or less .

Bro.... you've got some solid workouts going ! JetMASS must be helping out !

Lol... And hmmm. Right now I'm going through a conventional deadlift stage. I think for back development and overall strength conventional > Sumo. I'm just gonna keep adding weight on conventional then include some sumo deadlifts and see which one is stronger 3-4 weeks out.

Bro.... you've got some solid workouts going ! JetMASS must be helping out !

Thanks! Jetmass is definitely helping. One thing I've noticed is I'm having less "bad" days were I just can't seem to do anything since I started taking Jetmass.

[cjowns76]

Another solid day of training my man, I'm loving it.

Thanks Wish!

That feel when waiting for your professor to post your grade on an exam...

I had a solid feeling leaving the class so I just really want to see what I got.

Training tomorrow should look something like....

Conventional Deadlifts
2 ladder
Sumo deficit deadlifts
465x2 or 475x2 depending on them feels
Front Squat
IDK. I kinda feel like trying 355... We'll see though. If I'm not feelin it I won't do it.

Then, Thursday we do some more low volume benching. I'm literally only doing 5 reps though. 135, 185, 225, 250, 275. Then incline, military press, and bent over rows. With the additional benching I'll probably cut some volume out of my incline.

Friday we return to squatting, hopefully hitting 415 for 3. I might try wrapping my knees and doing a single but if I'm toast after 415 I definitely won't. Following that I will be camber bar squatting. I really enjoy that bar. It's a whole new exercise for me lol.

Saturday, benching again. Working up to a double at 265. This will be a high volume bench day combined with close grip bench.

Still haven't weighed myself. I'm guessing around 185-195. All I know is that I look bigger and I'm getting stronger, so all is good in my world

[scottyb05]

Does form work with a 270 bench.... jacka*s

[cjowns76]

Does form work with a 270 bench.... jacka*s

Lmao! It was still REALLY heavy for me, it was just easier when I actually just fixed my form haha... I'm finally starting to listen to other people. Everyone and their mother has told me I bench too wide, I just never listened haha.

Today was a GREAT comeback workout. Hit a conventional deadlift PR and everything just felt good. Body is SORE.

Solid training man. What changes do you make on form? Was it just grip?

Yep, I'm now pinkies on rings versus max legal width.

That's my grip lol I've been working on unracking. Meaning pulling the weight out verses lifting and having my shoulders go out on form.

[scottyb05]

Killin them deads and front squats.

I have been abnormally sore as well lately, been doing much less volume than normal, weird stuff. I bench with pinkies on rings, anything wider feels to awkward for me.

[cjowns76]

Haha I do the same thing! I've had that habit for a while now and am trying to correct it.

Yeah I'm not sure what my logic was/has been on the super wide grip. I think my trade off was ROM but it's not doin a whole lot for me lol. The super wide grip has been farrr to inconsistent.
