lol. keep training hard! your 315 x1 was impressive. and regardless of how many sets u get that's a huge milestone

[mike201011]

Shrugs are real awkward to me when I do them with a barbell. It seems to scrape off my manhood haha.


How do you do them?

Was like that for me too when I learned back. Now I lean slightly forward and arch my back hard. Then just rip them up.

Squat	140kg / 308lbs	1 Easy Single
Squat	117.5kg / 260lbs	5 x 5
Deadlift	140kg / 308lbs	1 x 5 +1 rep
Press	50kg / 110lbs	3 x 5, 2, skipped
Row	80kg/ 176lbs	5 x 5
CGBP	67.5kg / 148lbs +2.5kg	3 x 8
Incline Hammer Curls	17.5kg / 38lbs	3 x 6
Cable Crunches	70kg / 154lbs	3 x 15

*Last time i'm doing a heavy single prior to 5 sets of 5, but it was easy I just bounced right back up.
*Deadlift +1 rep despite being more trashed than last time.
*Fukked off with my press, 3rd time i've missed 5x5 with 50kg so i'm resetting to 45kg.
*Cleaned up form big time on cable crunches.
*Good (albeit 2 1/2-3 hours long) session overall.

Dinner: 2 Burgers with loads of cheese/brown sauce between bread + oven chips. A real life poverty meal.

Changing up a couple of things now to accommodate the Texas method programming for squats.

Mainly I won't be alternating deadlifts A/B/A incase they should fall on the light day (Wednesday) which should be used to give my PC a rest before attempting a PR on Friday. Instead I will have my heavy set of deadlifts after my Intensity squats on a Friday where i'll have more steam than after 5x5 and I'll have 2 days to recover afterwards.

Then on Fridays i'll reduce weight on Rows by 10% as normal. It may even be an idea to slow Row progression down so that I do the same weight Monday-Wednesday then -10% on Friday before bumping the following Monday, but i'll think about that when I need to.

That is all

[Sinaku5]

Nice work in that last session Harry.

Great work on Squats and BP especially.

That meal actually doesn't look half bad btw.

You'll love Texas Method for progression...each week after squatting 5x5 (which IK you already do) you'll feel great but in a few seconds it will hit you soon that you only have a few days to enjoy before your intensity day...a love hate relationship lol.

cheers man (were you talking about closegrip bench press?)

I think i'll start to dread the volume day more than intensity since I can deal with one balls to the wall set, but 5 heavy ones is pretty daunting.

Lol both days are intense.

I meant DL lol not BP. Good catch.

no sweat

I think i'm going to be able to get my Deadlift up faster now that it's on Friday after only 1 intense set of squats. My hips really took a beating with yesterday's 5X5, to the point where I think I started too high. In the TM ebook he says you should go with 80-90% of your 5RM and I went ahead with 90, so i'm gonna go with 85% from now on which will have me doing 115kg 5x5 next week. This is so I don't stall out sooner than I need to.

[IrishPilot]

So you are banging out TMethod now? When did you make that switch?

[hcoyle545]

I just started it this week. The short term goal being to squat 3 plates 5 times before Christmas, and that's looking pretty attainable atm.

5x5 for cutting? thoughts?

[hcoyle545]

5x5 for cutting? thoughts?

drop it to 3x5 imo. focus should be on keeping your numbers up, volume past 3x5 isn't likely to do much at your stage of development.

keep in mind that i still havent started cutting, im gonna get that fukking 152 squat and proper 200 Deadlift.



Im just saying for future sake, it looks like a solid program.



and 3x5 looks good

yeah had a hernia couple years back = no squatting for 1.5 years

sounds good!

to the point where I think I started too high.

to reiterate on what phal suggests - hips high isn't a bad thing, it'll almost always be a stronger position in fact

200 Deadlift.
d

ha my goal too. GL

that's chit man, but you're building back up quickly.

and when I said high I meant I started with the weights too high on my squat volume day.

[snrygo]

5x5 for cutting? thoughts?

for cutting you can reduce volume to about 2/3rds since you are not trying to stimulate new growth, but rather main tain what you have.

strong wat, I got to my thread with my browser didnt see any updates or anything and you just happened to post the exact minute I arrived. cheers broheim

Today was supposed to be a training day but you couldn't even call it that. Absolutely shattered running on < 3hrs sleep and didn't want to be there at all.

Squats Light day

2 x 5 x 90kg / 198lbs

They actually felt heavy...

DB Bench Press 3 x 6-8 x 30kg / 66lbs

BB Rows 3 x 8 x 80kg / 176lbs

Was so tired and lacking energy I just up and left after one set of curls. ****ty session. All the more reason to smash PRs on Friday after a good nights sleep.

i know how you feel

had back to back nights of less than a few hours sleep from working at half 5 in the morning, by the time you get to the gym you just hate life and all the little stuff that pisses you off is amplified by roughly 9000

some would argue over 9000.

Side-note: I started playing Borderlands 2. Fuking cool game so far.

Borderlands 2 is pretty cool. I've been too absorbed in Playstation All Stars to get back to it lol.

You got PS3 or Xbox?
