For the people Vids, this is just something that is NOT on my mind when training. Sorry, but I don't give two chits if you think I'm a troll!!!

Hey Troll ha ha lol, luv bro

Charlie, thanks for stopping in, I'll check out your stuff!!!


HERE IS THE CHALLENGE WITH HIGH REP SQUATS-

It feels like I have lost 15# all in the stomach area, (in 5 weeks) so I feel great, but things are so crazy now, I had to train on the 6th day instead of the 7th and the squats felt way heavy.

So here is where my "gift" of training comes in, I will really have to listen to my body, I will most likely drop back to like 215-220 and go for 30 reps before my big heavy set?

I will be resting 8 days this week.

Anyway today's workout was-
Squat 245 x 11 I barely broke a sweat or even started breathing hard, but I was NOT fully rested, so I stopped way short.
270 x 1, 275 x 1, 275 x 1 Just taking it EASY!

Here is what I was somewhat happy with-
Dead lift 315 x 13 DOH, I chalked up after 5, 3, my last 5 where the strongest. Chalking up was the only rest here. I was just getting started here but had to stop.

I also cleaned and pressed 175

This was a short workout, I'm too busy this weekend, and way too busy to video myself. I'm already up chit creek because I snuck off to go train.

You guys can all go phuck yourselves with you're posting vids to prove that I still train. I'm old school, and don't care, I'd rather write a thousand words.

......hell, I posted a pic of me teeth lifting and they still don't believe.

[LWW]

I just sneaked in some curls 100 x10 30sec put down x 5 grinder those phuckers out, first 10 were strict, final five minimal swing. This is PR.

NOW I rest for 8 days!

Nice bro

If I don't talk to you before Christmas Merry Christmas and Happy New yrs

New thread is posted as well bro

Once again I totally forgot to setup a camera, oh well guys, I mean there are two professionals where I train who constantly tell people if their depth is good or not, so why should I worry about it.

When I first started this journal the owner of the gym was telling me that he'd like to see me squat a little deeper, as I was a tad high, which he now says I'm below parallel.

Squats-

225 x 10, 250 x 15 (that was a nice set)

275 x 1

295 x 10

325 x 1

DOH dead 361 x 1

I backed-off a little on heavy deads, I'm still over 400, but working back up to break the 200kg mark.

C & P 179

Cheat curl 159

I lost 6# of fat from 225 to 219.

Feeling stronger and faster.

[LWW]

Squat 230 for an easy 20 reps.

DOH dead 364 (felt strong, even though its weak as chit).

Heavy deads continue to increase (very close to 200kg) and feel good.

Worked on squat cleans form and speed, light weights 160ish.

Cheat curls 125 and 140 for some reps.

[LWW]

DOH Deads are moving up to 370#

Heavy deads - less than 5lb away from 200kg, exactly 20# from breaking all-time PR. Taking my time still, I want 200kg to not even be a thought to me.

Worked on full squat cleans up to 165, caught the bar too low on shoulders, maybe work from "dead hang", I know a little something about O'lifting technique, but it's so humbling to see these vids of ladies having perfect form with 200#. Is it the right bar, shoes???? I wear boat shoes, those summer shoes the dudes in "Jaws" wore.

Cheat curls, bunch of reps with 115/125/135

Once I get my all-time DL PR, I will provide more details of training in this log, maybe another 2-months.

[LWW]

So my training day started good, ended ****ty, then got ok hours later, here's what happened......

Squat (below parallel)-
155 x few
205 x few
225 x few
250 x 10
295 x 1
315 x 3
330 x 1

DOH Dead lifts up to 355 x 1 (I was not using the best bar) failed 359 DOH

Hookgrip deads 389 x 1 my mind was way off today for some reason and I was just screwing around on this, I didn't use any leg drive and this felt hard (usually it's EASY).

I then went back down to 315 and did 8 reps DOH.

Between the squat sets I did dead-hang cleans up to 135, pretty easy.

anyway went home, ate a big meal. Right after eating I got the urge to dead lift again, my mind was phucked on that rep with 389.

on a full stomach-
Deadlift DOH 320 x 1
mixed grip 370 x 4 pretty easy, because I just ate a big meal, I blasted a mean fart on each negative, wish I videoed that, which would LMFAO. I altered my grip on each rep, I was not going to do a bunch more reps and puke.

Now I feel strong again, and I should bring mixed-grip back in for reps.

Curls 120 x 8

[LWW]

6 days rest-

Squat-
155 x few
175 x few
205 x few
245 x 2
275 x 10
295 x 2
315 x 6
Not bad for only 6 days rest.

Deads-

DOH up to 369, not fully locked.

mixed grip (alternate grip each rep) time was running out, gym closes in 5minutes.

389 x 2, load and lift, 399 x 1 x miss, x1

I failed my second rep, paced around for a few seconds then nailed it.

Train again in 7 days, then again in 8 days. Stay tuned!

Did some light powercleans and fronts Sunday up to 140 to loosen up.

[LWW]

Well, barely had 7 days rest and I was beat the phuck-up, I couldn't squat without bad aching pain, this is nothing new to me. I know what I need, REST!

Squat-
155 x few, 155 x few
175 x few
205 x few
225 x 2
245 x 1
255 x 10 (this barley did much in terms of feeling better).
280 x 1
285 x 1
295 x 1

The last time I felt like this I couldn't get past 270, so this is good.

Deads- DOH up to 345, barely could hold-on.

Mixed grip, alternate each rep - 375 x 4

That is better than 370 x 4, so that is good.

Powercleans up to 169 x 1

Curls, 125 x few, 105 x 10

I get 8 days rest now, unless something happens, then I only get 7.

Oh yeah, I didn't drink the night before, seems my most crappiest workouts are on days I don't drink the night before. Yes, I'm an old-school strength dude, a shot and beer is better than any ****gy ass supplement.

[LWW]

Warm-up-
Kettle swings, 24kg 10-swings EMOM, 10 minutes.

Squat-
155 x 1
175 x 1
205 x 3
225 x 1
260 x 5
280 x 5
310 x 1
335 x 4 PR for reps.

Deads -
DOH, up to 369 almost, not quite a lockout.

Mixed grip- 389 x 3 load and lift 409 x 1

Doing 409 right after those three reps is significant, possibly a PR just for the sheer volume and mass.

[LWW]

There are more than a handful of folks I do like on here. I can't name them all, so that post was a tad unfair to them.

Basically if you've stated that I give chit advice without any kind of real critique, I got a problem with, to those, eat this....


Squat 340 x 2 PR No belt or wraps.

Dead lift - 380 x 4 No belt or wraps, continuing to add weight on my 4's mixed-grip alternating each rep.

Dead hang clean - 139 x 1

Curls 105 x 13

Beat this, and this only the start.

[LWW]

Thanks Charlie!

I forgot to post over the weekend.

nothing too exciting, kinda a delaod on squat-

205 x few
225 x few
245 x 1
265 x 1
280 x 7
300 x 1
325 x 1

Deads- 340 x 1 DOH, 375 x 1 hookgrip, 415 x 1, x1 hookgrip, less than 30sec between those singles, most likely a PR on volume.

2"bar curls up to 115 x 6

clean and press up to 165 x 1

Christ, I heard that crazy phucking mad man ramble on about how Castro taught people how to read and write, WHAT? That's why we have schools and libraries, while I'm not a big fan of those screwl institutions once one can learn how to read and write they can go to the library and read on their OWN. Apparently Sanders don't want YOU to think your smart enough to do such a thing.

[LWW]

And yes taxes do pay for those things but there is also private school, public schools are a mess because politicians screwed them up, a child will have a hard learning to read and write in the city schools.

One person does not teach people to read and write that’s how communists brainwash people, no it takes the community to grow balls and say “we can learn ourselves” and stop fearing the gangs, new civil war should be neighborhoods versus gang bangers, they take your freedom, it is worth dying and fighting for?

[LWW]

10 min. EMOM 24kg kettelbell swings.

Squat-

1st set 255 (yes folks, you heard right) x 3
