Lulz at you "not feeling like working out" and then pulling my max deadlift 4 ttimes! Good workout but you might want to edit your notes I think you meant squats and deads go up while bench stays the same. Right now it says bench and squat go up but bench stays the same..... jus sayin

Strong deads today. What does the .2 mean?

Good catch bud. the .2 basically means pulling/ort deadlift

.1 = ort squat and ort bench
.2 = ort deadlift/pulls
.3 = accessories.

So next week 7.1 = ort squat and ort bench, 7.2 = ort deads, 7.3 = accessories.

[im2manly]

ORT WEEK 6.2

(1) ORT DEADLIFT:
225 x 5
380 x 4 +10lbs
380 x 4
380 x 4
380 x 4
440 x 2 +10lbs
475 x 2 +10lbs
380 x 8 +10lbs

LET ME EXPLAIN: I was actually gonna say screw it and not workout as I spent the whole day drinking at the bar and watching the Giants curb stomp the Texans. I really didn't want to lift so I just did the ORT Deadlift. In sum, next week squat and deadlift go up 10lbs and I do the same weight on the bench for next week.

Lol at "behind the next press"

Good to see you're keeping up with the Ort, too bad about the bench fail. When you say you only gained .5 reps that's not entirely true. When you used to do singles, did you always have that kind of volume before them or did you just warm up and go straight to the heavy stuff?

I thought the .1 .2 .3 was your BAC on that given night

135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 3
385 x 1
385 x 1
385 x 1

Exactly. A bit less volume than what you're doing now, ain't it?

[im2manly]

Yea it's a lot less volume, but I'll be very happy if I can get 385 x 2 this week!

LET ME EXPLAIN:

• I had failed on Friday on the Ort bench at 385 x 2 (only got 1.5) so today I got my revenge! My form was sloppy though on the last rep, I could tell my ass had gotten off the bench :/. I add 10lbs to everything next week, since technically I only advance to ort week bench #7 since I had failed last week...BTW it has me doing 395 x 2 next hahhahah yea we'll see how that goes. I also did the 305 x 8 all paused, definitely felt it a lot more!
  
  
• The squats were great! Except the 335 x 8 I could tell my form was getting sloppy. My core strength isn't keeping up with my leg strength . Anyway Squats get Ort week #8 since I haven't failed on them which means no back squats. IDK what I'll be doing in place of them, maybe I'll think outside the box and do uphill sprints.
  
  
• Hey MM when you get this can you shoot me a PM?
  
  
• Holla

[pezking7p]

Hey big guy! Feels good to hit your numbers. Nice work. Do you just grind on 395x2 now until you get it?

[VoxExMachina]

Looks like the Ort protocol is really working for you. You've got some big numbers going up in here (funny that your squat and bench are the same max., though!)

On the bench press, maybe only bump by 5 lbs. next week? Progress is progress. It may be better to start microloading these.

[Jrahe42]

ORT's progressions seems to fast for bench, but i am glad to see you made it to week 7 with only 1 fail so far. good luck on 395x2 lulz

I think i will run it for squat and dead, but do my own thing for bench. fast progression is fast

[im2manly]

Yep it does feel good, but in regards to 395 x 2 \/

Thanks! but my bench max and squat max aren't the same. I plugged in my bench max into the program at 405 and my squat max at 420. But IDK if the squat max is actually a pr really or not since until August I used to squat at home w/ no rack. But I think you are right, I am gonna start the microloading for the bench, I'll bump everything up 5lbs next week.

The bench started out super easy to, but it progressed very rapidly! I do like the rep scheme though.

[-Lucifer]

Jeez. You are pressing more than what I deadlift.

Strong bastard.

[im2manly]

Thanks Lu-bro, that sh!t is starting to get heavy!

[musicianman]

Sigh... you bench press more than I squat.

No, you shoot me a PM.

[Ironlife]

Great session manly, you are really coming along in leaps and bounds my big lineman!

You don't have much strength do you? You should eat more.
Awesome looking session, great numbers, very good call on the microloading.

[matt297]

Yea micro loading is definitely the way to go for the bench, I wouldn't be able to finish teh program any other way!

There is a workout with your name on it in the shack, Get on over there.

[400Lb Gorilla]

U mad I am going to complete the program without microloading? impressive lifting breh as always ridiculous high numbers in here

[musicianman]

Microloading:

I need to start using my 1.25 lb plates. Thinking of adding 2.5 pounds every time I bench. Thoughts? How long until I plateau?

And manly brah.... send me a PM with the foods you can afford to eat. I'm assuming you have a nearly unlimited budget in this respect, but I could be wrong. If it's unlimited, send me a list of your favorite foods. If you want to save me some time, list the Calories per serving with each food so I can do the calculations for you and actually get things perfect.

[matt297]

Lol chris? My name isn't chris

I'll send you a P/C/F and Calorie breakdown of what I eat up until Dinner once I get home (not for another 5-6 hours). The GF usually takes care of dinner, and since I am at school late I am somewhat at her mercy. But no worries as I'll set her straight .
