FrmrHoss's Journey to Moderate Levels of Strength

[NC_Tarheel]

I'm revved up for training next week as well. I've been a grumpy old man this week just coming home from work like a "normal" person...I think my wife and kids are ready for me to start lifting again as well

[bmontgomery87]

^^ I know how you feel man.
I'm feeling fairly fresh and ready to hit a new month of heavy lifts.
I've got two more deload workouts (gonna do dynamic work like you're doing pretty much).

I've been in an awful mood and my blood pressure has been up I can tell haha.
I was ready to flip my **** on tuesday because I didn't get to eat dinner when I wanted.

I'm a diva when I'm hungry.

This sounds like a Snicker's commercial in the making.

true story.
me being hungry, having to ride in the backseat of her car while she drives (terrifying on its own), and go watch a soccer game at 6 pm without having dinner. I was raging over traffic and ready to kill people.

I haven't gotten home from work any earlier than 10 this week. Saturday is looking good .

[Shazriki]

In for the win!

[FrmrHoss]

Ugh, did my last deload today. I knew that I had some shoulder issues lately but man I did some rear DB flyes today and could barely do the 20s/25s without triggering some pain my shoulder/upper back. Did the shoulder mob preworkout that Paul suggested and enjoyed it, gonna have to keep up with the soft tissue work here. The weird thing is that rows didn't bother me at all.... so has to be tied in some to the shoulder I Think.

Perhaps knitting would be better or at least some extreme sidewalk chalking?

Maybe plain chalking, nothing extreme.

This coming from the guy who hurt his knee taking batting practice.....

Alright, the 5/3/1 train is officially starting. After getting my weight back down to around 185 I definitely "fell off the macro wagon" and probably ate somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-8k calories on Saturday and weighed in on Sunday morning at around 190. Whoops After talking with Brad, will be on some reduced macros this week starting tomorrow to try to clear/clean it up a little bit but I'm also considering starting the wedding cut now because that would give me some time to "eat" into the wedding (meaning, I think I could hit my weight goals by around mid to early August and then walk up my calories to maintenance levels for the wedding + honeymoon). But, still gonna mull that one over for a bit.

352.5 x 10 is definitely a rep PR for me so feels good

[NC_Tarheel]

Starting 5/3/1 off with deads....Lovely!!!

I already know those front squats sucked!!!

just looking at the front squats makes me want to blow chunks. we're almost identical on deads hoss. i hit 360 for 10 saturday. of course i out weigh you by a good 80 lbs

[thom2355]

Deadlifting for reps is one of the worst ideas ever. I would rather squat for reps

Fine use of the micro plats, good sir.

Well, you can't start off with bench and compete with all the Monday Bench Monkeys.

And yes, the last set blew. The first two were nice and light warmups... we jacked this new template for the assistance work from the 2nd edition. I like it, Week 1 is 3 sets of ten at 50/60/70% of your 1RM. Then week 2 it's 8@60%, 8@70%, 6@80%. And then Week 3 it's sets of 5 @ 65/75/85%.

i just went ahead and went pedal to the metal last week. it's what real men do

Well I mean the weight difference only matters for Wilks score right, and Thad will tell you that THAT DOESN'T MEAN ****. (Okay, fine, one last reference )

It was bad. I don't think I was recovered from that set of 10 until after the front squats.

And damn straight! I spent my 15 bucks on the coasters and I'm gonna use them every chance I get .

Couldn't miss out on missing more of the above commentary. I guess I can deal with an occasional workout post....

You old Scivation people are always welcome

Weight has come down to a new post-meet low despite being at 190 two days ago... nice to drop 6 lbs in 2 days .
