how did your back recover so quickly from the OHP? you went from "too strained to do them and jeopardizing squats" to "so strong" in a few days.

dec 12 was the last day of multi sets on the OHP. i only did single sets of 135x10s. dips to weighted dips improved too, so tricep is also firing strong. but most likely its the limiting to 1 set/workout as maintenance as i let the lowerback recover.

edit... i said so "strong with the 135lb" because i can get the 10th rep from a pause. not very strong overall at all because anything 160lb+ still feels very heavy.

* used a different gym and the calf raise machine is different. topped out at 6 plates. used the 5x45lb to see how it feels first.
* been doing non-workout logged backoff machine high reps with very light weight. sets of 10s mostly single arm rows (vertical and horrizontal) + machine dips.  tried the hack squat machine but i bottom out. i don't like the feel of the leg extension.

* 405 paused are very easy lately after days of no backoffs. i'm 425-435lb this morning. will still keep it easy while i work on the little compounds. machines after doing heavy compounds are a very good combo. the stacks show heavier but with the pulleys, i know the actual resisitance. will log using equivalent db weights. after i figure out a good layout for the machine volume backoffs, i will just put a range of weights and reps. its usually 5 reps on the heaviest and 10s to start out.

* horizontal pulling on the hammerstrength machine strongest today at 5x45lb and a 25lb. didn't know the machine can take another plate but saw somebody doing 6 plates the other day. the heavy set was still with full ROM at the back otherwise i would not have done it. back off at 5plates x10 felt light.
* weighted dips at 90lbx5 still feeling good. will top it off at 90lbx10s. bw low recently at 194-198lb. been avoiding too much sweets and ended up eating mostly mangoes. too much fiber fills me up.

 :headbang:

don't forget scoob -  the point of a heavy top single is to progress the sub-max 5+reps. thats how you build leg mass. increasing your 1RM makes your current submax weights a lot easier . you do more of those submax to really thicken up.

* lowerback strained a little from the 2 sets of 10x135lb overhead press yesterday. not jello enough to skip the squats but would feel a lot better later if i skip it this morning.
* did dips for upperbody push instead. felt not so comfortable with the first 10. tried the machine with very light weight. felt so much better. grip width are the same. big difference in the thickness of the bar. i was doing daily sets of 30-40rep bw consistently at some point and realized that it was in a dip station with not-fat grips.

afternoon
paused full squats 315x3(~1s)-365-405-315
overhead press 135lb 10x1 sets
machine dips 135lb-185lb multi sets of 10 reps each.
hammerstrength iso row narrow grip pronated 4x45lb+25lb 10x1 sets 

* that 135lb 10x1 today is not a good idea. stuggled with the last rep and probably toasted my lowerback again.  seated machine dips feel good but i have to find a way to strap  myself so i can at least go bw on the resistance. anything 180lb+ lifts me up already.

* i used the dip station facing backwards, gripping the ends in a half pronate / half neutral grip and it worked. bw dips feel comfortable. only thing missing now is more height on the dip station so i don't have to bend my knees. seated calf raises now at min 6 plates and a 25lb.
* bw still in the 198-202lb range but still able to see abs. anything above 202 is noticeable fat gains. i can still wear medium sized compression tops and not look fat.

* so strong with the 135lb overhead press. i can get the 10th rep now from a pause.
* will add weighted dips again shortly. these 20 reppers for conditioning is enough. @ 200lb bw, my bwx10 dips are harder. i'll only max out at 14-16reps with good form. i used to do bwx20s at 188-192lb. i need to get stronger on my vertical pull too.

* horizontal pulling on the hammerstrength felt great. will build up the volume on these again. i know how 165lb on the overhead press feels like now. it's not impossible to make more progress. just need to put effort on the volume work to get thicker and thicker.

* getting very comfortable with 6 plates on the seated calf raises. added the smith machine standing calf to balance the gastrocs. top set of 495lb (5x45 each side) for 5s. was not heavy. got up to 8+ plates before. too much fatigue from supporting that much weight if i recall correctly.

* will continue going heavy on dips and go on maintain. 90lb 5x2 sets if i can before burning out. then will switch to weighted chins. rows will go maintain too.
* will use the loading: 5x2 sets maintain, 5x4 sets to progress to 7x3 sets, 7x3 sets to progress to 7x6 sets or 8x5 sets. 8 rep set will be max when using heavish weight.

* overhead pressing still progressing. it would be nice to top out at 185x5s but adding 5-10lb on this exercise makes it so much heavier. todays 8th set of 150lb did not feel very heavy. some slowing down on the left arm as usual. i might get 155lb 5x 2-4 sets next time. BW still at 198-200lb and with still visible 6 pack of abs.
* squats and upperbody pulling on maintain for now until i get my overhead press to stall. rows at 100-120lb is at a good spot anyway. weighted pullups at 90lb is also decent already. 185lb OHP is going to be awesome.

* i don't like the isolation of my triceps using the cable rope pulldown. i don't want to grow out of proportion. back to compound for tricep - dips. will do them after doing the overhead press so i limit the intensity on the dips.
* high rep seated cable rows for conditioning work. i feel very bloated after the high reppers. i'm on 5-10g creatine per day and 10-20g bcaa per workout. micronized creapure taken with a tablespoon straight to the mouth and gargled with a sip of apple juice.

* don't like the 8 rep sets. takes too much time to recover. i'm back to 5x8 sets this morning for shoulder work. 2-3 min rest. just enough time alternating the overhead press and the cable rows.
* dips starting to feel natural again. a little wider than shoulder width because i have very long arms.

* feeling good with the one arm cable rows bracing with the non-pulling arm. the movement feels more comfortable for upperbody horizontal pull than the hammerstrength machine, but it takes a long time to do them because i cannot just camp there in the cable station and take both pulleys for myself (left and right side). i take both sides when nobody is waiting but whenever somebody asks, i just go do 1 side at a time.

* will use a 3 or 6 set of 7reps in the small compounds to progress. the 10 reppers are too mentally draining. will go 95-100lb x7 reps on the rows next time. same as the calf raises. bw movement can stay at 10-20 reps because the resistance is very light and the reps are quick.

You look broad like a barndoor. Damn.  :strong:

thanks. my favorite combo for really thickening the back is heavy sets of single arm machine or db rows, and high volumes of moderate-light cable rows. and chins. weighted chins.

^^ back loox hyooge.

thanks. one good thing that worked well is building a solid strength base with weighted neutral chins. other forms of lat/back work does not feel as "solid" to use a lot of resistance.

while looking through my old photo bucket for some pics of plants (for scoob), found these really old photos.. HEHEheEHEHe. This is towards the end of when I boxed, probably ~2007.. Obviously good lighting but, really lean. Definitely leaner than I am now, but, i'm getting closer to this. I'm probably around ~142-145 in these pics.



i'm going to throw a pic of kingfish in just for comparison:



holy shit.











i like this mma fighter like physique. been asked before if i'm fighter.

these pics only look good without clothes. put some shirt on and 90% of people think you are on crack.


bump for back pics. sad erectors need some volume work.

* took a day of vacation from work and will only do thur-sat night this week starting tonight. i messed up on the upright rows because i was doing them using 70lb using mostly my posterior delt + back. i was pulling to the side+up and then to back. this was an advantageous position against the resistance. did them today pulling up and side with my upperbody completely flat/parallel to the cable. so much harder now. feels awkward too. cannot use heavy weight on this. still doing it for the side delts. still a little compound lift. can't be too bad.
