Big Boy Basics

[Andalite]

I love that program, thanks a lot. I'm starting it tomorrow. Btw what are landmines? I've always jus done front planks and hanging leg raises and my core is strong

Well....strong core = bigger total so unless you have an infinite total your core isn't "strong" because it is such a relative statement lol...

Hey so I have a groin injury and you said I should do hip mobility and hip stability exercises, I'm gonna start that soon. What should I do as active recovery for my deadlifts and squats? Since I can't go heavy

 

[miked8c]

Can I see a picture of you before you started lifting, back when you were deadlifting 135? Cause your a pretty big dude now, you must have went into some kind of transformation haha.

O yeah, check out my log I need some advice after my latest workout.

Don't get into these fancy terms of "active recovery" and what not.

Lets make this simple.

You need to be able to do Deadlifts and Squats PAIN FREE.

So, take 135 lbs and do 5-7 sets of 3 reps each. Do that for the first week.

Tell me how that went and if you were in any pain. We'll work upwards from there depending on how you feel.

Just so you know, if they pain is extreme: you MUST see a doctor. I am no doctor so the only advice I can give is through personal experience.

I have progress pictures which I take every so often but its nothing major. I don't eat properly...I have only recently embarked on a TCD type diet. Otherwise it was just about getting the required protein in.

I went into college in 2006 weighing 155 lbs @ 5'7. I left college in 2010 weighing 200 lbs @ 5'7. The change isn't all that impressive...just bigger thighs and arms actually.

I might post these pictures up someday.

Man.....those were so retarded - they helped me getting dislocations and being rushed to the hospital.

DC Training is one of the BIGGEST mistakes I have ever made in terms of training.

Oh yeah...that was right after I finished Eric Cressey's Maximum Strength program I think.

beast!!!!!

Not really considering that I haven't been able to do Deadlifts in 7 weeks now. Fucking gay actually....I think I might shrivel up into an old woman and die soon hahhahaha..

My home gym should be set up by the end of July. I hope.

As for the permission to record my videos.....that could happen sooner. I hope.

Too much hoping for me....fuck.

Full Body Training 4

Worked all day on valuing stocks.....one stock actually...took like 4 hours.

Pistol Squats Density Training @ 13 minutes
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30 reps
SOOO AWESOME!!!!

Pull-ups = BW x 10 reps x 6 sets
I need something new for this. Time to do some cluster sets. I am going to plan the clusters like this:
Week 1: (3 reps x 4 mini-sets) x 5 cluster sets (Total Reps = 60)
Week 2: (4 reps x 4 mini-sets) x 4 cluster sets (Total Reps = 64)
Week 3: (2 reps x 5 mini-sets) x 7 cluster sets (Total Reps = 70)
Week 4: (3 reps x 5 mini-sets) x 6 cluster sets (Total Reps = 90)
Week 5: (5 reps x 4 mini-sets) x 5 cluster sets (Total Reps = 100)

Close Grip Bench Press
185 lbs x 5 reps
205 lbs x 3 reps
205 lbs x 4 reps
205 lbs x 2 reps
185 lbs x 8 reps
These are getting more and more difficult!

Dumbbell Windmills = 14 kgs x 10 reps x 3 sets

Hammer Curls = 22 kgs x 10 reps, 24 kgs x 6 reps

Hand Extensions = 2 bands x 20 reps x 3 sets

Did some solid grip training with the grippers last night. Pretty exhausting workout for today...time to rest and then do some Front Squats
