Ring Dips/Close-grip Chins
BWT x10
52x5
70x3x5


Done. Was going to do some tricep work with my kettlebells but I had some sharp pains shooting through my chest and shoulders so I shut it down. Plus I have already benched 3x this week prior lol. That's a lot of upper body work.

Left hip is still all kinds of screwed up, but it's getting better and I think it will be fine by Monday.


Slight rant: I think it's funny when people avoid push-ups and dips because the bench press is "The King" of upper body movements. I initially hit 275 (then 285 right after) on bench after only doing dips for a while, last time I had benched before that I had 225. That's why I give the advice to "do your mother fucking dips" when people ask how to get their bench up.

Doing ring dips with +70 feels harder than benching 315 for me.

hey man,

maxing on the 31st for my year end stats. got two more sessions of deads left between now and then. any advice on mini-peaking? basically, should i train how i have—reverse pyramid—or do either high intensity or high volume (or a one then the other)?

thanks for any tips/thoughts

Have some weird shooting pains in my left leg now....tibialis anterior is hurting and my hip is still pretty tight. Not sure what to think about it. Hopefully it's nothing some pvc rolling and stretching can't fix.

It was never diagnosed but I think I tore my left hip flexor couple years ago (aggressive squat attempts after a 13 lb weight cut lol) and while it seems to have fully recovered, it acts up once in a while. I've done as much as I possibly can to restore tissue quality and mobility, so I guess I have to deal with what I've got at this point. It's not like it really holds me back though.

How do you personally do your dips? Upright or lean more forward?

They start upright, I hit rock bottom with some forward lean, and I end upright. My focus is on ROM.

[L The Pirate]

If you did do something to ur flexor then that would make sense. I broke a piece of my hip off when I was 17. That same hip bothers me even tho I'm not touchin ur squat weight. I do lots of focused dynamic and static stretching and foam rolling o that specific hip, seems to kinda help

All 3 Inches of it.

I'm surprised your hips are hurting considering you squat pretty narrow with feet pretty much strait. Might want to do some good stretching and try some walking lunges, or even those girl machines the abductor, adductor.

[johnblythe]

will pay to see

Actually broke it? That would suck.

Lol.

When I up the frequency without really backing off on volume, it starts bothering me. Plus doing decline sit-ups uses the hip flexors and that must have exacerbated it.

Used to squat in chucks with a slightly wider stance, and that's what screwed me up in the first place. Once I got oly shoes it was much better.

Also, I don't really squat with feet straight forward anymore.

will pay to see

Lol.

Ladies (maybe? lol) and gentleman, I have come to the conclusion that I need to step away from logging for the time being. Being in the spotlight seems to being f*cking me up big time. I need to be able to do my own thing in my own little world right now.

Being realistic, I'd like to go 584-391-628 for 1603 in February. I'll throw some updates in here and there, but I need to get myself together without the distraction of other people.

[Juggernaut0]

I'm distracting you? Sorry brah...

Having said that, there's nothing wrong with taking a break from logging here. Come back soon man. Always enjoy reading your workouts.

[L The Pirate]

Yea it was weird, was playing soccer went back to kick the ball and snap. Actually walked around on it for a day until they made me go to the doctor and found out i broke a piece off and some other junk.

Just lots of stretching and rolling on that side of my body.

Lol, not what I am saying at all. It's nothing against anybody at all, I just feel too much pressure sometimes. I'm much more of a head case than any of you probably realize LOL.

Of course. It's not like I'm going anywhere either, my training is just gonna be top secret lol. I'll still be on the boards.

I won't neg you if you promise to still post youtube vidyas.

I'll try to keep some going. I've been really lazy with making them lately. Was planning on it today, but benching went so terrible that I didn't want to.
