bet it feels great to be deadlifting again. Any goals for the future for you?

 

[Andalite]

Hey andalite on page 55 you made me a routine but on the first day it has heavy bench squat and deads. But I cant do heavy squat or deads so its kind of a waste of a day. Can you remake it please? lol btw nice deads youre still pullin heavy weight after not doin them for a while thats good

two questions:

1.) Are you going to actually do the routine I lay out or is this just me "bidding"?

2.) How serious is your injury? What have the doctors said? This is important to know.

Iv been doin the routine you laid out but day 1 is just bench and core which doesnt feel like enough. Ive been doing hip mobility as well. Youre not "bidding" but it is nice to get different opinions from different people. I like the way you think tho because you dont just train for a one rep max or for strength, you train unilaterally and with bands, etc.

My injury isnt serious but its still there. In football practice I take it easy

 

[Andalite]

Ok, so I guess you'll have to take each week at a time then.

Firstly: which unilateral exercises can you do without the groin hurting?

- Unilateral RDLs
- Reverse Lunges with Front Foot Elevated
- Bulgarian Split Squats
- Cable Pullthroughs (not unilateral but still)

Which of these can you do pain-free?

aahh those are some great goals andalite! I'd say the hardest will be the pull ups or the overhead press.....can't wait to see ya press 2 plates for a rep overhead! BTW, I am amazed at how much the weighted pull ups affected my bodyweight sets. I've only done weighted pull ups for months now with low reps like you do (3 rep sets with 55 now) and only a few bodyweight sets. Pullups once a week, with maybe 3x8 bodyweight. Yet I maxed out yesterday (video in my log) and got 16 bodyweight reps! Big PR for me

All of those goals are hard, dude...525 Deadlift? Shit....365 Front Squat? Fuck!!!

I am glad those weighted pulls worked for you. I did see the video actually and it was great! Major props to you!!!

PISTOL SQUAT TRAINING - Mesocycle 23 Week 2

Ate like a pig today....

Pistol Squats Density Training @ 13 minutes:

Killed me. Next week back to regular straight sets.

Weighted Pull-ups:
BW + 20 lbs x 3 reps
BW + 30 lbs x 4 reps
BW + 40 lbs x 3 reps
Total = 10 reps

BodyWeight Pull-ups: BW x 10 reps x 2 sets

I have a video which I've edited to fit YouTube. It's 8:55 long. The Pull-ups, etc begin at roughly 7:10 or so.

Sorry for being off topic but is this at your house? What language is being spoken in the backround and can you converse with them fluently?

Dude...how can that be my house? I'd have to be rolling in money for that hahahah!!!!

I speak 5 languages:

English
Gujarati
Hindi
Marathi
Urdu

Plus I understand 2-3 more..

I also speak French and can understand 90% of spoken Spanish....and I can read Spanish with the right pronunciations minus any of the understanding hahha...

People are blabbering in Hindi in the background. And yes, I can converse very fluently.
