You're right. If you even look at a machine, Ironlife is going to be giving you sh*t.

So how did this session feel? Were you still hung-over?

Good to hear mate, the last thing you want to be doing is flipping kangaroo burgers at McDingo's and asking the customers if they would like a large blooming onion with that.

Full contact twist:



A manly press is basically a cloe grip JM press straight into a behind the head tricep extension.

Glad to see your strength is returning. Nice session.

Thanks a lot my man I am surprised at how quickly it is coming back!

[The Shoeless Wonder]

^thanks. altough, I have never seen a gym with checkered tiles before

lulz true but if you ever want to really hit your obliques and increase bat speed/power, punching power and throwing power full contact twists are the way to go

[The Shoeless Wonder]

what about wood chops?

[im2manly]

what about wood chops?

Yes, they are also effective but I find the full contact motion to be more similar to everyday motions. but both are effective imho.

How much you thinking of pulling (no homo)

[-Lucifer]

In b4 5 plate pulls.

[Ironlife]

In b4 5 plate pulls.

If the big guy wants a 2x bodyweight then L my man we are looking for a 600lb pull.

[im2manly]

I am aiming for 485 x 3 as my last set, but we shall see.

Why not make it a clear 5 plates?

[im2manly]

Why not make it a clear 5 plates?

because deadlifts are always the last thing for me to come back, I don't think I could rep out 5 plates right now.

Would 5lbs more each side really be all that hard for 3 reps?

lulz you drive a hard bargain IL, I don't want to see a 500 x 1 on there...like you said it might be all mental. I mean for all I know, I might only be repping 450 tonight...its just a wait and see how i feel type of game right now.

[MWheatley]

I might only be repping 450 tonight...

Well I mean if I saw a 300lbs guy deadlifting 450 I wouldn't be overly impressed.

[MWheatley]

You dont give yourself enough credit, but thats a good thing. The day you are satisfied with your fitness level is the day you will peak.

Lookin forward to the next workout session.

As body weight goes up, it gets harder to cope with 'relative strength'.

You're a strong mofo, im2m.

I'd rather hang out with a 300 lb guy that deadlifts 450, than a 150 lb twig that lifts 300. Wait, wut?

[400Lb Gorilla]

Well I mean if I saw a 300lbs guy deadlifting 450 I wouldn't be overly impressed.

lulz bodyweight aside i am impressed when anyone lifts 400+ pounds off the floor. glad you are not impressed with it though. like MWheatley said the day you are "satisfied" with a lift is the day that lift tends to get stale for you

TUESDAY: Legs

(1) POWER CLEANS:
185 x 3
225 x 3
255 x 3

(2) SQUATS:
225 x 5
315 x 3
405 x 3
405 x 3

(3) DEADLIFTS:
315 x 5
405 x 3
455 x 3

(4) FRONT SQUATS:
225 x 3

LET ME EXPLAIN:

Bad workout, I wasn't into it at all. After powercleans I actually wanted to call it quits haha, but I couldn't do that this early to myself. I did shorten the workout though, as I skipped Bis and Abs. The powercleans were sorta ugly, the last 2 reps on the 255 weren't something I would be particularly proud of but I'll get my form right soon enough. The squats aren't were I want them yet. Last week I did 405 for 1 set of 3, this week I did them 2 sets of 3 so I guess that is a positive. I did DLs for the first time and man, I am incredibly disappointed. I undershot my last working set by 30lbs (I wanted to be doing 485). It might be because I power cleaned and squatted first but still, I am going to have to revamp my workout so that I deadlift first thing on tuesdays (I just usually care more about my squat then my DLs). After one set of front squats my knee felt weird so I said F*ck it, I'll get them better on Thursday.
