« on: December 19, 2016, 07:51:31 am »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.

* 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.

* did hack squat to get myself going this morning. it was another very cold morning. i did them in chucks and had to tiptoe at the bottom so i don't bottom out. got my core temp going a little.
* bunch of machine upperbody compounds again for volume work without burning me 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.

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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

seated calf raises soleus 6x45lb 5x2 sets
bw dips 10x2 sets
* 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.

* 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.

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.

this might have been the only good thing that happened to chicago in a long time 
they were also so close to being beat by a home run on the last play.

« on: October 31, 2016, 10:54:19 pm »^^ 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.
