Hm... almost fast to almost fail.

What would be the issue here? Sounds like a CNS thing to me. Too few reps (one rep) to be anything else.

vag · « **Reply #2450 on:** October 16, 2014, 07:48:13 am »

They are six >90% 1RM singles with only 45 seconds rest between. It sounds normal to me to have that drop-off curve.

does greek usually place adjectives after nouns?

Raptor · « **Reply #2452 on:** October 16, 2014, 12:25:35 pm »

I'm not saying it's not normal, it's just what is the cause of the drop off that is interesting to me.

No, adjective should be first. Where did i do that, it may be a special case. Love those errors, direct native to English translation, creating errors due to grammar/syntax differences.

Ah, i see, I thought you found it not-normal and i couldn't understand why.
Should be CNS indeed. Maybe some accumulated fatigue too, from going hard for 9th week straight. I was considering a deload and a plan change anyway, but since i am still progressing, even slightly, I decided to give one more week to that GPP phase.

16 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : shoulders and triceps, both slightly
Injuries/aches : left shin, also slightly

1.5 hours full court basketball.
Very good to awesome endurance.
Vert felt good too but i have no rim jumps to report.

"deltoid anterior"

vag · « **Reply #2455 on:** October 16, 2014, 01:26:40 pm »

Yup, it is wrong, it is from exrx : http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/DeltoidAnterior.html
But they mention it as 'deltoid, anterior' or 'deltoid ( anterior )', which is correct, it is the commas or parentheses that i omitted that made it wrong.
ALSO, i am mentioning the wrong muscle, i added lateral raises to hit the lateral deltoids, i was already hitting the anterior ones with OHP.
2*

A tragedy.

You should kill yourself for this

vag · « **Reply #2457 on:** October 19, 2014, 05:17:46 am »

I am down with the flu. Nothing too much though, should be good for gym in 2-3 days.
The de-load / rest we were talking a couple of posts ago forced itself. I think i will terminate the GPP phase, gonna do 1RM testing on all main lifts this coming week and then start 5/3/1.

Raptor · « **Reply #2458 on:** October 19, 2014, 07:27:28 am »

Good idea^^

vag · « **Reply #2459 on:** October 22, 2014, 07:48:08 pm »

Sick for 4 days plus hectic period at work = derail. Got my ass to the gym finally tonight.

22 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~84.25kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

1RM TESTING

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT:
5@20kg
5@40kg
3@60kg
2@80kg
1@100kg
1/2@110kg
-Failed 110, i stopped lowering between half and parallel because it felt too heavy.
Disappointment, i did 6 singles @ 102,5kg 1 week ago. Was sure of getting 110 and hoping for 115. FML

BENCH PRESS:
5@20kg
5@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
2@60kg
1@70kg
1@80kg ,

-Huge milestone for a terrible bench presser like me. Incredible!

OHP:
5@20kg
3@30kg
2@40kg
1@50kg
-Did not try more as i barely got 50kg up. Ultra strict and solid though.

Also did:

PULLUPS:
7@BW
7@BW
7@BW

STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
20@75kg
19@75kg ( +1 rep )
17@75kg ( +1 rep )

Checked log, 1 year ago i did the same testing before starting 5/3/1 again, I got a bad form 100kg squat, 77,5kg bench and 50kg ohp. But i was 90kg. So that's something, a little stronger while 6kg lighter.
Was not feeling it generally. Maybe from being sick the past days, maybe from bad sleep lately.
But no excuses, if i can get another 1RM session to hit better numbers i will, otherwise i will suck it up and try to improve from here.
