Why hate over-under ( sincere question ) ?
Hook grip made a world of difference for me in power cleans but i never got to get used to it for DL/RDL, i still use over-under. There is a very strong mental link that i am stronger that way and i can't break that link, or if you will, i don't care enough to.
:welcome: back!!!

I'm a bit late on this but even though over under works wonders for grip, it's an easy way to tear a bicep.

I would like to see more volume, especially on the bench.  Since it looks like you're getting back into it, you can try to do 4x10 for working sets.  Not super light working sets, you'll want to feel worked for the first 2 sets and last 2 sets will be a bit of grinders.  I've just seen better results with myself and other people I've worked out with and trained with much higher volume and I'd throw in cool down sets with close grip.

Yeah, I've been considering upping the volume. Always been a programme-hopper, though, and want to be sensible instead of falling into old traps.

Did spin class today. 45 mins of pretty tough interval stuff. Enjoyed it! Diet stuff to come.

Kcals - 3365
Carbs - 368g
Protein - 140g
Fat - 147g

Felt starving and needed a snack and ate a lot of crisps. Nbd, been working hard recently.  :ibsquatting:

Won't have a chance to eat properly tomorrow due to a lack of planning and being at an event in an awkward location, so I'll probably be eating mostly nuts and protein shakes, so numbers may be odd!

Yeah 18-20% bodyfat seems pretty accurate. You're18.9% according to the Willougby calculator.

Bit of an odd food day so not much protein, still should be plenty and it's just one day. Am exhausted. My left clavicle feels a bit funky  :(

Jogged to gym ~1 mile

Superset:
Chins
BW x 3, 3
+12kg x 1
+5kg x 2
BW x 3, 3, 2, 2

Overhead Press [moved grip out wider and it felt a lot better on my shoulder, huzzah]
Bar x many
25kg x 5
32.5kg x 5, 5, 9 [fuck yes!]
32.5kg [done as push press] x 8
25kg [back to strict] x 6

Squat [high bar this time, I can keep good form better this way, and it's easier on my left shoulder]
Bar x 5
40kg x 3 [paused]
60kg x 2 [paused]
72.5kg x 5, 5, 6 [tough, but happy that I don't have to go back weight-wise after the switch!]
60kg x 7, 7

Neutral grip pulldowns [myo, + indicates 4-5 deep breaths]
45kg x 14+3+3+3+3+2

DB high incline press [~80 degrees, myo-style]
10kg x 18+5+5+5+4

Superset:
Facepulls
something x 16, 14
Bentover rear-delt DB fly
6kg x 14
4kg x 14
with
Ab wheel
BW x 10, 10, 10, 10

(i.e. i did facepull->ab->facepull->ab->fly->ab->fly->ab]

Notes

Evening workout because I was out of town most of the weekend. Felt strong, I guess due to a mix of that factor and because of two days rest. Pleased with the jump on OHPs. Did some extra sets after the main on both OHP and squats + added an extra pressing exercise since I was feeling in the flow. Chinups felt strong so I added weight. 12kg was not a 1RM effort, but I don't think I could have got a second. 3 on the first set was not near max, either. Happy with this workout  :headbang:

Diet

Kcal - 2929
Carbs - 352g
Protein - 114g
Fat - 122g

Another odd eating day b/c of travel and whatnot, but still within a decent range, so w/e.

+1 for tinkering with form and having it work.

Thanks, man! Really glad to be settling in a bit on form with things, makes it feel like everything's going in a good direction.

13-03-17

Went for a nice long walk through some gardens nearby since the weather is absolutely gorgeous today. Then to gym.

Cycled for 21:10 @ average 125 bpm

Very easy cardio session, gonna make sure to do this on at least 2 non-lifting days per week. Actually want to aim for ~130-135bpm in future. Will slowly build up time.

Soreness: abs, hamstrings, quads, chest

Jogged to gym ~1 mile

Superset [chins and bench]:

Chins
BW x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1

Bar x 10
30kg x 5
40kg x 3
50kg x 5, 5, 8
40kg x 8, 6

Deadlift
70kg x 3 [paused 2" off floor]

87.5kg x 9 :strong:
70kg x 8, 7

Snatch grip RDL
60kg x 8, 8

Seated neutral+narrow grip row [I don't like this grip b/c it shortens ROM, but I gave it a go anyway]
39kg x 10, 9
32kg x 12

Dips
BW x 5, 4, 4, 3 [tricep work! happy to have actually been able to do dips for reps! ROM probs imperfect, but that'll come with strength now]

Superset [fly and ab wheel]

Ben over rear delt DB fly
4kg x 12, 12

Kneeling ab wheel
BW x 8, 8

Notes

An abbreviated but quite fantastic workout. Felt very sluggish before setting off and was worried when the run felt shitty, but I killed it in the gym.

Upper back enormously sore today, unsurprisingly, but lower back and hamstrings in the clear. Curious!

Wow, did not have the impression that I ate that much. No bother.

Still major upper back soreness. Abs sore too.

Jogged to gym ~1mile

Superset [Chins+OHP]

Chins
BW x 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2

OHP
Bar x 8
27.5kg x 4
35kg x 5, 5, 7 [Awesome!]
Push press @ 35kg x 6
Strict @ 25kg x 6

Squat
40kg x 3 [paused]
60kg x 2 [paused]
75kg x 5, 5, 8 [probably should have warmed up more since last set felt strong, but, woopwoop, weight and reps up from last time]

Leg Press
50kg x 8
80kg x 8, 8, 8, 8

DB Row
24kg x 14, 10, 9

DB Incline Press @ ~50* [Myo, + indicates 4-5 breaths]
14kg x 13+3+3+3+3+3+2

BB Curl
20kg x 12, 8, 6
15kg x 6
10kg x 10 [the last 20kg set and the two lighter sets were done with no rest, i.e. as drop sets]

then usual ab and upper back stuff.

Notes

Awesome workout on the main lifts, a bit lame elsewhere, but I would obviously rather it be this way round. Had intended to do some more back off/volume sets of squats in addition to the leg press, but I forgot. Leg press was killer on the quads even at this light weight. Perhaps it was good to get that extra volume without major core exertion since the ab wheel stuff later on was very hard.

Training with this sort of volume is pretty rough, so I'm looking forward to two days off for recovery. I will make sure to cycle on one of them (likely tomorrow).

Diet

Kcal - 3600
Carbs - 277g

Been hungry the last couple of days, but that's hardly surprising, I suppose.
