The All American PPV Event of the Summer: Woody-5 and howimliving vs Communism

[jshaw5]

So now that you're in Chicago, is it better or worse that you can watch the Bears every week?

Also, what happened to the chickens? Did you bring them to Chicago?

Nah, totally understandable. I figure I'm in the gym for 75-90 mins 4x/week currently, so switching to ~90 mins 3x/week full-body will give me a couple extra hours in the evenings throughout the week. Once my life's settled down a bit, I'll be going back to the 4x/week push/pull split again

That extra day off is great on a 3 day routine!

Lol it'll be better next year after we have the first overall pick

Chickens were adopted by someone in Maine. Suburbs don't like farm animals out here, plus the journey out would have been stressful for them (we could very well have lost all 4 on the drive out)

I was wondering this too

Lol Bears or chickens?

da bears... and my boy Rolle left the Giants to go there = derp.

Working on that #1 pick

[fittofattofit]

Plenty of volume Woody and delts .. huge pump up for the delts with the heavy OHPs, klokovs and then the lat raises
I haven't done reverse curls or wrist curls for ... I hate to say it ... decades
I need to work on my grip though ... maybe time to bring them back in

Thanks matey! Shoulders felt good after that one!

I haven't trained forearms in forever, figured I might as well toss some work in

[The Solution]

Squats are getting back up there. I know you were banging 315 not too long ago. Just taking it easy?

My squat strength likes frequency and my SI joint does not lol

The layoff didn't help strength at all, but it's coming back. 1x a week squats will take awhile to build back up, but if it keeps the body happy I'm ok with that

^^^^^ that's my story ... the muscles like the volume but the SIJ doesn't >> spasm >> TFL gets tight >> ITB barks
You did well to work up to the 275 x 3 and got in some good front squats and RDLs, so I suspect working sets with 3pps again is only a few weeks away

Thanks dude- maybe I'll rip a 315 single next week just because!

I've been doing some mobility work every morning since the new job/ schedule started and I can already see a huge difference in my flexibility.
Maybe I'll give 2x a week squatting a shot soon with an upper / lower type of split and see how I do.

You got the right idea. Sometimes I want to go back to 2-3 times a week squatting but honestly I feel so much better going 1x/week.

How early are you having to lift?

The forearm work is good but I didn't enjoy it. I am hoping I can get some farmers handles soon because I think I like those.

Maybe I can get some progression going on 1x a week, just gotta hit it hard!
I've been getting up at 5am and starting session at 5:30 after coffee and mobility work. Feels like an easy morning after my previous job where I was getting up at 3:00ish and going straight to work lol

[THErunCMD]

Nice. Still too early for me. I have a 630 video conference every morning and my alarm is set for 615. I totally roll with dress shirt/basketball shorts.

How well do you function mentally being up for only 15 min prior?

[wishiwasdivin]

Great looking bench session woody.

[The Solution]

Up and early crushing it

[fittofattofit]

Big volume day on the bench Woody!

[jshaw5]

Lol it'll be better next year after we have the first overall pick

It's games like yesterday where I'm glad I can't watch. 10 possessions, 10 punts. That's embarrassing. Cutler may make some costly mistakes at times, but at least he can actually move the ball and give them chances to score.

Good to see you getting back into some consistency in the gym. You'll be back to putting up big numbers in no time.

[THErunCMD]

Nice work with two plates on bench. Also, I'll take pullovers over skullcrushers any day. They just feel better to me.

Lol nice

It's usually a fairly easy meeting and then I can spend time getting ready

[jeezyreezy]

You crushed shoulders with those ohps and klokov presses

Thanks dude! It's coming back, a little at a time!

Yea buddy! Feeling better every session!

The consistency feels great
(In my workouts, not in the Bears punting game)

Ez bar skulls work well for me. Pullovers I like just for a finishing stretch. Feels good

That was a painful combo! Pump was spectacular!

My back training went to the next level when I worked with you doing the tempo workouts. MMC for days




Breakfast for dinner tonight.
4 eggs, 6 whites, 5 slices wheat toast & 4 sausages

Got that ninja turtle thing going on back there.

Also, I want your sausage and eggs in my mouth.
