Road to recovery and 1600

[TypeNirvash]

Safety is huge for certain man! I freaked out even though it felt good. I honestly grilled her with her answer cuz it sounded weird. But it made sense.

She is adjusting my workout now though. You got time to get ahead on the bench! She still wants me using the slingshot for bench til February like planned.

But she wants me to take advantage of the scar tissue and only free weight OHP in order to strengthen the rotator and front deltoid. Makes sense.

I'm coming for you Balboa!!!

Sounds like a plan, man. But don't put yourself out of commission. Srs. I don't quite understand what she means about how the scar tissue is good, but hey, I didn't study that so we'll trust her I guess!

Got a sample tub of Max-HP that's going to put me through this workout, so I've got to work extra hard today anyway. I'll be coming for that 405 bench very soon. It's going to happen for us, dude.

Scar tissue is just a cast the body makes. It serves it's purpose. It protected my injury. Its good cause I can train the muscle now and not the muscle with a cast.

We gotta hit our 495/405/600 goals of 2016!!

We got this ****!!

I still never ever understood why they list it as S/B/D... It should be B/S/D...

Calf raises

I dun goofed. I did 385 thinking it was 395 first go around. When I went to do 425 I realized how huge of a jump I made it. So 425 felt like it moved way too slow.

I'm deloading my front squat. That's where I'm supposed to get my reps in and it's bugging my fingers. The Rouge Bar is really slick for cross armed.

Time to invest in some J hooks and gravity boots. This Christmas my gym is taking a huge hit.

Plus I need to save up for a new bench. Go me. :-P

Finally uploaded Monday's footage back one page.

NO SLINGSHOT FOR OHP!! Recovery is coming!! But I'm starting to wonder if the Slingshot is causing an issue. I have to fight so much to get my back set. I order the Wildboar version and we shall see if that helps.

Things also on the way for my gym.

I dropped weight on the bar for the banded squats. But I actually found a way to get the bands at super tightness level so those suckers are at max capacity so they are probably 120lbs additional at the top.

Good workout though. Thinking I'll hit that 495 in January!

[tkonpk]

Very strong and very nice, keep it up.

475 PR BABY!!!
405x3

Sumo
455
505
535 (fail)

So I had gotten two text updates this morning. My J hooks AND my Full Boar Slingshot would be delivered today! I was expecting them late tomorrow so I had to make a choice. Keep benching with what I'm sure is a too tight slingshot or switch it. Decided to test lower and bench tomorrow.

475 was a tad rough but once I cleared the sticking point I knew I had it! But wasn't in the mood to possibly get crushed by 495 and undo my mental progression. It's still a 15lb pr!!

Sumo I got 505 up easier which is a tie for Sumo top pull. Got 535 off ground but glutes and hip flexors still fried from Saturday and squats. Oh well.

So not a lot of good things. Oh well. I was just partially seeing if training was going in the right direction which it appears to be. I put 20lbs back on my Conventional.

[themonkay]

very strength

much strong

[JRMoore82]

Haha!!

Forgot to mention. Got up to 275x2 without the Slingshot. So getting better.

I actually like the Full Boar Sling**** better as well. It helps but not as much as the red imho.

RDL
Calf raise (535 standing drop)

435 was a struggle so I stopped there. The green bands are insane. It's slightly tighter than the black cranked down but added the black loose to give it a pinch more.

I'll probably use this scheme for squats moving forward.

Green/black
Green
Black (tight)
Black (loose)

I'll try the 325 again next week. The green is really hard for deadlifts. My lockout is slow but that's why we train with bands.

Trained yesterday. Been too busy to log. Post video from yesterday/day before.

As far as training I'll have to mess around with the pegs for the bands to tighten them. On the bench doubling them over is WAY too tight but the green was loose. So the last inch was rough but not a smooth acceleration.

I'll be doing single pulls with the green bands. It's really tight at lockout so I need to correct that first before adding reps.

Nice log man, subbed. We are pretty equal in strength. What are your goals for your next meet?

Sweet and thanks mane!!

Goals:

1) Qualify for Nationals (1600 for 120kg class). It's a feat for sure but it's late April for my meet.

2) 3/3 bench. And not to where I don't push it. But it took me 3 attempts to hit a opener and I suffered a bicep/tie in injury. So I need to readjust how I handled that in a meet situation.

3) improve on my score. This is really not much of a goal though. 1324 isn't huge (landed me a 350ish Wilks) but still needs to be an attack point.

Isn't it 1548 for 120 class?

Aiming for 1600 to over shoot and cover my bases.

[BluSteelSeattle]

I am routing for you, but I think realistically you should shoot for that lower end total sometime end of summer to qualify. Hate to see you set your sights too high and get depressed. You have progressed very nicely over the last 6 months. Just keep it steady and avoid injury. Good luck. Following your progress.

[JRMoore82]

Respect! I totally feel ya!

I know it's a shot. So I won't be completely heart broken should I fail. It can take people many years
To qualify for Nationals in their respective classes. Plus I'm 34 in two days and I started lifting consitently 2 years ago and powerlifting nearly a year ago.

If not on April then in 2017. If not in 2017 then 2018.

Only one way to find out......and that's grind it out!!! :-D

Just gonna add a rep each week without slingshot. Felt great today hitting the 275x3. Ain't gonna push **** though.

I pulled 495 and struggled. Deloading again to 455 and will go from there. But now I'll hit my 5 working sets and then rep out 405.

[TypeNirvash]

Damn, you're pulling 5 plates?

I'm way behind... >.>

Ya but I pulled 545 at my meet and got 590 off the ground to my knees and failed.

Now 495 was such a ****ing mess.

But I might have it figured out now. I've been watching my videos and I think I need to move the bar away a little from my shins.

The bar travels away from my body on the pulls. Which meand my weight is forward of the bar on the pull so I'm rounding my back (not good) to correct it.

I will mess with it a little today doing sumo.

No way I'm gonna let my bench and squats go up and my deadlift stay stuck.

Feelios. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Correct sir.

Not sure what the calculation would be for hyperbolic time though.
