Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: The Dan John assessment
« on: May 07, 2014, 06:31:16 pm »
I've failed at 40 push ups. I think i failed in under a minute though, so I can prob hit 45 in a minute
Bench bwx15... maybe
15 BW pullups. I think so. I've been working on pull ups lately and getting good at them. they feel seriously awkward at first but your body gets used to it and they start to feel really good!

Week 6
Squatted today instead of tomorrow since I won't have time tomorrow. That makes this three workouts in a row. Next workout is Friday. This rest will feel good, especially since Thursday the bulk of my final projects and exams are due. ALMOST DONE WITH COLLEGE.

Week 6
For the last two workouts I didn't really have that "I can't wait to lift feeling" but I'm still hitting PR's. I hope the feeling comes back. Because when I have it, I always PR for a while.
Goal is to hit 225 on bench for 3x5 before I leave for Europe on June 1st. I got a month to get there.

One of the best things you can give a young athlete early-on in their career is autonomic balance (i.e. the ability to shift between sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system dominance). - See more at: http://robertsontrainingsystems.com/blog/57-random-thoughts-athletic-training-coaching/#sthash.kQ14UQYH.dpuf

Forgot to do chin ups, da heck. And external rotations.
If I could get to 225 for 3x5 on the bench before I go on vacation June 1st, that would be friggen awesome! The way my bench is progressing right now makes me believe I will.
Also, I now randomly get boners when touching myself even when not trying to masturbate. Like I'll be sitting on the computer, reading shit, hand in my pants, and it'll get me hard. This hasn't happened in like 7 months. Pretty sure I could have sex without viagra now. Met this colombian exchange student and i get super horny when we text and shit. cant fuck her yet because our schedules just dont line up :/
These sex updates will stop once i'm back to normal. then I'll get my test levels checked again to see if that was the culprit. I was at 520 ng/dl i think, which is in the "normal" range. But i dont think it's normal FOR ME to be at that level, know what i mean?

I feel refreshed after this workout. My squat form feels amazing: since I've been doing pull ups i've noticed I can actually flex my lats now. I engage my lats in the squat now; a good cue is to pretend im squeezing a tennis ball between my armpits and that tightens them up. Keeps my upper torso RIGID.
Can't wait to lift upperbody tomorrow. That'll be 3 workouts in a row but I feel fine.

« on: April 24, 2014, 05:07:55 pm »
For my whole life I barely had any delts. My triceps would always take over the movement (also barely had pecs for this reason as well).
Anyone else experience this?
FWIW:
So what I did was STOP overhead pressing and only do lateral raises. Train the triceps less.
Also did wide grip on bench to focus more on pecs and less on triceps.
Result: pecs are now one of my BEST body parts, and my upper arms are bigger than my tris/bis now.
