Black_Spit's training Journal

Mike hasn't steered me wrong yet. So when he lends his advice, I listen... Most of the time.

What's this I hear that you're gonna use wraps? And only 1 set of curls? I am disappoint...

Nope. No plans to wrap.

I do one set of 15 reps with 25 lb hammer curls every other week or so.

Dave Tate said to to it to prevent biceps tears and tendonitis. Dave is another guy who I make sure to listen to.

I'm sure Dave won't mind a few more sets of curling and get those gunz.

Nothing wrong with training biceps, though I joke about it in the gym alot. I train them once a week, but nothing too crazy, mostly machine curls, then some hammers. You have to keep them somewhat strong. I don't train them heavy,I go fairly light for highish reps, doesn't matter though,they don't grow either way.

Agreed.

[Black_Spit]

And I don't have any problem with biceps training. It's just that after bench press, tris, lats, and shoulders, I'm pretty much ready to be done. Plus they're not exactly a weakness and my forearms are literally bigger than my 12 year old son's head, let alone biceps. So I just kinda throw them in as an afterthought to keep the elbows healthy. If I make a real effort to focus on aesthetics I'm sure I'll do 5-6 sets or something...

[Liftamulti]

Fatceps.

[Black_Spit]

Fatceps.

Youd be surprised. I'm built weird. It's all in the gut. I'm not defending my physique bc I'm too fat clearly... But again, I'm not embarrassed of anything but the gut. Everything else looks like muscle. Kinda like a 5'10 Donnie Thompson lol.

[Liftamulti]

I know that feel bro. I'm not fat, but the fat I do have is concentrated in my gut.

By the way NC, I'm using that name when I reach 600 squat. I may even pm a mod and change my username for the first time in 10 years. Squat_Father in the house...

There's always variations. I'd feel like a fraud doing it now. November. 600. Squat_Father.

Edit: Hey I must have accidentally unsubbed your log from my phone. Hate how the bb.com app does that. Link me.

First your warm up routine

Now your user name

I am creating a great powerlifter step by step.....





EDIT FOR BRANDON: I came up with this name as a reference to "The Godfather" which is one of (or the) greatest gangster movies of all time. You wouldn't know because you've never seen it (or Scarface)

DE Pause Squat

-No Bands

45x3
135x2
225x2

315x6x2

Speed Pull
-1 Orange Short per side under feet
315x6x1



Standing Abs
Superset with
DB Shrugs (90 lb)

Bike-

I'm pretty sure Pause Squats are a better fit for me than box squats. You can see in the vid how fast I can move vs Box Squats. I guess it has to do with my style of squatting??? And I'm still about 1-1.5 inches off the ground on deadlifts. The excuse is not a good one- convenience.

Deload next week. Not sure if I will do DE days or not. Open to opinions.

I see someone's mirin' your speed deads in the background......


Have you tried standing on plates to negate the difference from pulling off the rack??

Great idea. I'll do exactly that next week. Or maybe a stepper.

[thom2355]

Just make sure they don't give.

[B1GinNY82307]

this. This is why I stopped doing deficits on them damn things...

[martin_mathers]

or why dont you stand on the bands?

[Black_Spit]

or why dont you stand on the bands?

I was.

[martin_mathers]

I was.

oh true. asian eyes lol. then why did you do rack pulls? easier to load up the plates?

[Black_Spit]

That's one excuse.

You want to know the real reason lol? I wear the do-wins to squat in. And I'll be damned if I'm going to change into my chucks in the middle of my workout. I actually hurt my back once (you might actually remember that) DL with my do wins on. So I'm off setting the do wins with being an inch off the floor lol.

[B1GinNY82307]

go barefoot?

[Black_Spit]

I got a couple of 45's for my sled today.

That's what I've needed. I've been using a cinder block and 4x cement 7.5's (srs).

So after this weeks Deload, probably starting with Thu/Fri's DE work, I'll be starting the conditioning protocol from the 3 month BBB Challenge.

2 days a week walking 1-2 miles.
2 days a week of sled with 90 lb. 40 yards x10.
Or just 4 days of sled.

Fuking neg me if I don't do it. I want to squat and DL 600 pounds this year, but I don't want to do it @ @ BW of 325 lb's lol (edit: I'm not 325 lbs btw, and I don't want to be).

[Black_Spit]

Just found out they changed the SPF meet close to me in May 19th to full power!

So that's awesome. 6 weeks after this deload week. I'm thinking 550/365/550...

TheBateman, you should be interested in this too as its like 20 min north of you I think.

[Iceman1800]

I broke 600# in the squat and deadlift in my 40's, you sure as heck can do it at 31

Thanks. And yeah that's the idea. I did 510 last week... On target for 600 in November I'm thinking... Except I'll be 32 by then.
