Muzzlrpress' road to 1300 and beyond

[JRMoore82]

You might be waiting for a while Muzz, some of the directors don't update for a months lol. Contact them via your guys' ********, or email they provided on the sign up flyer.

At the end of my meets, when they are looking at the numbers, I take a picture of the score card of my attempts, and official weigh in for my notes and stuff.

For the future and other lifters reading.

Good to know!

I just wanna know what he attempted. What he got lights on. How it went. How he felt etc. not concerned with "officials" atm. Just me.

If the meet stats aren't posted by Monday, I'll just upload the video and try to go by memory.

[JRMoore82]

Lolz. Feel for Johan. Neg cannons peppered since no meet ANYTHING posted but no one will kill the messenger.

Mods. Please take Muzzle off ban so we can discuss our frustrations with him directly.

Going to stop going after my monthly prs and focus on volume within my chosen rep range for a while. I'll still go after rep PRs if im feeling up to it on that day though.

Something good will be posted later tonight.

[NeverEnough89]

Subbed to something and got a view of goodies. Awesome job man.

Not fair you got to see my coach Arian lol.

[JohanXDash]

I know y'all have been waiting forever for this. I had to zoom in on each vid and count the weights, then check kilo conversion tables and images of eleiko weights to know how much those sumbitches weighed. The things I do for you people.






Squats
Attempt 1: Just as easy as an opener should be

Attempt 2: Lol, it's this weight?

Attempt 3: Felt like a semi challenging gym lift. I'm a beast!

Bench
Attempt 1: Easy

Attempt 2: A bit difficult. The next attempt would take everything

Attempt 3: Hard as fuk and got a red light, which I'm guessing I got because the bar dipped down a little on the way up. I didn't ask because I didn't notice the light until later.

Deadlifts

Attempt 1: Felt fairly easy (as far as deads are concerned)

Attempt 2: Was definitely heavy, so I wasn't going to try anything too ridiculous for my last attempt. I wanted to go 9/9, which I didn't do at all last year.

Attempt 3: Steadily grinded out my last lift and pr of the day, and though it was very heavy, it was the easiest feeling deadlift I'd ever done over 500lbs.

9/9 with prs across the board, finally raising my total from 1210 to 1272.

1300 is close my friends


I can taste it

[LinuxJon]

Dude, nice lifts! That's freaking awesome.

Few quick questions:

1) Those were some deep squats. Is USAPL depth that low, or is that just what you do?

2) What's with the weird weights? Did you just select everything in KG and then do the conversion? Like 297lbs. Da faq?

3) You don't even squat in Oly shoes? Dayum.

[JRMoore82]

Nice job man!! Looks like you could have hit 1300!!

[MainelyMan]

Muzz is still banned?!

I told you to leave those farm animals alone man, and for the last time, baaaa does not mean yes.

Sweet lifts, it looked like you could have added me to the bar and still got those squats up.

USAPL depth isn't any different in the rule book than any other fed and kilo plates are used during meets so the conversation to pounds is weird, but meets have charts for you to pick an attempt after your last lift.

Barx10
135x5
225x3
275x3
315x3
340x3
350x3
375x3

Ended it there. Felt heavy enough. I think my legs need an extra kick in the ass to get fully up to speed. It also didn't help that my belt was stolen and I had to borrow a friend's.

Front Squats

Week 2 means I have to make myself cry again

185x2x10
205x2x10

/tear

Ham Curls ss/w Adductor Machine

4x10 /4x10

Its been years since I used that machine. The first set I was able to use 150, but by the end, I was down to 80. I guess these muscles exhaust quickly.


@LinuxJon
Never tried oly shoes. I'm not very good at cutting depth, and since my videos are usually taken from a floor angle, I get paranoid when it looks like I'm not parallel.

@everyone

Thanks people!

Let's get this party started

Incline Bench
Barx10
95x5
135x3
180x3 (miscounted my weights)
205x3
225x3x3
(Spot saved for video)

Happy with that volume. Felt good.


Military Press
95x8
115x8
135x8
135x6

Incline DB Bench
60x20
75x10
75x9

Tricep Rope Pushdowns ss/w Cable Rows
4x10 / 4x10

Today was awesome aside from my sore inner thighs. I expected newbie soreness from using the thigh adductor, but I didn't anticipate pain like this. It's such a strange, irritating place to be sore.

Future Training Plan
I plan to keep the rep schemes and exercises pretty much the same, but from here on out I will begin training sumo as well as conventional, and I will also begin applying principles from prilepin's table when deciding on my number of sets.

Fuk I love lifting!

Sumo Deadlifts
135x5
225x5
315x2x3
335x2x3
365x3
After researching form, I felt like I was ready to try these again. They felt awkward at first, but by the end I started to get a feel for it. Definitely regretted the adductor machine from Tuesday, and my hips got beat up. Vids later.
Paused Squats
225x1
275x3x5
Good Mornings

I feel pretty good.

USAPL is notorious for not white lighting if you JUST hit parallel.


When's muzz back so I can rep him.

[JohanXDash]

Thursday's Benching



Some of Friday's deads

[LinuxJon]

Nice benching Muzz! Three things:

1) Stop arching during incline. That's cheating.

2) New gym? The plates look different.

3) Imma catch your incline this training cycle. Watch out brah.

Don't you ever, ever hurt me like that again. No more abandoning me to join band camp. I swear, I'll hunt you down and bring you back to the cat cave if need be.
