Thursday

Might have got a bit of a cold after i walked outside in tshirt/shorts after basketball/sauna .... weather cold now....

Might still train a bit.

Good news mate: you don't get a cold from being cold, it's a common myth.

So i went for a run for 1.2 miles. Sprinted/jog/walked.... was out of breath almost....

This is good, but i definitely will not be doing this too much.

counterpoint: do it more.

2 weeks isn't much tho, other than the flu part of it. you'll be back to normal quick.

regarding how you said you were eating, not sure how you can even eat like that with the flu .. when i'm flu'd up i def can't eat like that lmao. soup, bread, oatmeal, chicken for me.

This forced deload will hopefully get you fully recovered and ready to hit some beastmode PR's with a fresh CNS.

Maybe today is the day for a 295 x 12 ? or 315 x 8 to 10?

Not sure, horrible conditioning.....

maybe i should jsut attempt 405 x 1..... 20+ lb than my biggest attempt of 385..... if i actually believe i can make it, than i might actually make it.... lol

but if i dont believe i can make it, it's going to be a big CLANK (sound of the bar hitting the pins!)

the beauty of safety pins. :ninja:

if you fail at least it might be a good eccentric.. that's how i used to view it sometimes on max attempts. hah. i liked hitting them more comfortable eventually though (safe 1RM's - no psyche up/not a true max), less draining & safer.

still haven't attempted the 405....

i dunno, i need a home gym.... ppl think im crazy at my gym.... i got pinned a few times and ppl thought i was nuts cause i try so hard on power rack but only do light weight other exercises like its aerobics.....

you don't need a home gym .. though, a home gym is pretty powerful.

basically everything I said to maxent... in a nutshell, don't worry about anyone else. achieving substantial athletic transformations usually involves becoming more in touch with your animal nature, tune everyone out and let the emotions out, hit the pins & not care, grunt/yell whatever. forget those people, not sure why their opinion matters at all.

why did I have to attempt a 225 lb half squat, fkin a. Now my knee patellar just feels strange when applying pressure. sigh.

Was on the verge of accomplishing 405 #5 - 8 and also beginning some 2x 8 315, or 3 x 8 315 routines. just a stupid set back.

did some uppers for once, 2 x 20 pushups, light rows, light shoulder.

sigh.

how did the half squat F you up? just reversing it at that angle, seems to cause problems?

halfs definitely need a break in period, transitioning at that joint angle is very different than full or quarter etc.

seems like you're good now from recent posts, hope so.



2/5

dl 135 x 6, 225 x 4 x 2

45 hyper bw x 15, 45lb x 10

sl hyper: bw x 8 x 2

bw lunges x 10 x 2

2/7

Squat

225 x 1, 2
315 x 1, 1
365 x 1
385 x 1
405 x 1, 1     :personal-record:  1st rep was quite strong, 2nd try very close to being pinned!

  • I accept membership invite to the 4 plate club!!


edit-- also did 315 x 10

FS

225 x 1, 2
275 x 2, 3
315 x 1  :personal-record:


Felt pretty strong today as I ate well lately and slept for 11 hours last night.

Very fat though; BW is now 225 lb. Need to start cutting /maintaining, other wise i will turn into power lifter blob and not a speed/vertical athlete.

uhhh.. a little late.. but,  :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting:

great stuff man. 4 plate squat club is no joke.

learn2use the PR thread for huge PR's, fu*k!!! hah. :ninja:

3/13

Squat full

225 x 1, 2
315 x 1, 1
365 x 1
385 x 1

3/15

225 x 1, 8
315 x 1, 1
365 x 1, 1
315 x 5

3/16

225 x 1, 8
315 x 1, 4
365 x 1
385 x 1

405 too tough for some reason, need to be well rested and feeling really good to get it.....

Need to start cutting some time, clearly i cannot gradually lower kcal and cut efficiently, so i have to just cut drastically in spurts.....

i dno. i like the slow approach. just look for a few things in your diet that are "useless" (sodas, sweets, some kind of useless junk) and cut it. it'll add up over a few weeks.

the slow approach is more of a "lifestyle nutrition switch".

but ya, spurts can help too.. having some lower calorie days out of nowhere can be good. fluctuations are usually powerful (with lifting, performance, nutrition, etc).

i have my 405 lift on video somewhere, but here is my 385 lift.

my 2nd or 3rd 405 lift was ultra explosive. right now i can barely even lift 405. 385 is okay.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf-kZq3pJho" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf-kZq3pJho</a>

this was in january, now i can do 385 on super narrow stance.

i think front squats is what is hurting my knee, now that i took it easy on front squats, my knee keeps feeling better.

nice about knees feeling better.. and ya if you identify a movement that causes pain, DON'T DO IT! nice.



did cardio last few sessions....

325 x 5 didnt feel too bad after 30 min cardio's....

ya. there's a big misconception about doing cardio before lifting, ie that it'll make you weak etc. it serves as an incredibly good warmup.

I may need to eat more clean carbs to fight hunger, i tend to be hungry a lot even though i dont have much arm and pec muscle.....

if you catch yourself trying to "fight hunger" tho, that's a losing battle. Don't get hungry, too often. That really comes down to meal timing IMHO, ie figuring out when to eat your bigger meals & such, and when you can eat smaller snacks/meals, without getting "hungry". Getting hungry will just cause you to overeat/binge. For me, that's eating a small snack when i wakeup, small meal after my morning session, large lunch, and snack before bed. That keeps me from becoming hungry and overeating.

Why? is it because it is unhealthy or unattainable? I can do it, i have good muscle and metabolism.

because it is an extreme goal. speaking as someone who is arrogant and impatient i frequently set possible but very difficult goals and what happens is im just putting a ton of pressure on myself. in a few weeks when you are struggling, you will remember how far away from your goal you still are and how you have never done something like this before and that might be overwhelming and you could possibly revert back to your old habits

if you want to really form a solid cutting habit, you cant make drastic changes. i would start with smaller weekly habits like dropping caloric intake by x lbs, limiting binge eating to y times a week etc (i dont know your habits.) very gradual progression is how you form good habits

FP said it, but that goes extra for dieting, which is hard even done carefully and well. and i mean, you literally said "unhealthy." it's not that there's never a place for a rapid cut, but 2 pounds a week for 20 straight weeks seems unrealistic. and because it's unrealistic, once you get off track you'll beat yourself up and go off the wagon altogether.

might be better to start with a more modest, more immediate goal.

ETA: bodyrecomposition.com is a great place to look for free resources and books, e.g. https://store.bodyrecomposition.com/product/rapid-fat-loss-handbook/
