Big Boy Basics

Dude, I am definitely going to do this for deadlifts until college starts in a month!!! Would you mind telling me if something like this looks good?

---- 1RM = 365
85% = roughly 315

Week 1
315x3
320x2
325x1
335x2
340x1
345x1


Obviously I improvise based on how I feel, but is something like that a good example? 10 reps @ an average weight of 326.5

then next workout maybe i'll do 3 reps with 315, 3 reps with 320, 2 reps with 325, etc etc...

??

Btw, nice deadlifting workout. I look forward to seeing the day you hit your goal of 525

You got the right idea. Good luck!!!

I'll tell be watching....make sure you do your math because that is the key.

I'm also waiting for 525...after 525 I'm gonna target 555 just because its such an awesome number aahahahahahaha

Got it. Ok so should I use QVT for squat and deadlifts? How do you feel about power cleans

Yes use QVT for squats + deads. Don't do powercleans because of the groin, Just stick to the basics and we'll see what happens once you gain a strong foothold on these two lifts. And those are Front Squats btw, Glad.

PISTOL SQUAT TRAINING - Mesocycle 23 Week 4

This is yesterday's workout

Pistol Squats:
10 + 10 + 10 = 30 reps
Solid work!

Weighted Pull-ups:
BW + 45 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
Could've done more...

Close Grip Bench Press:
185 lbs x 3 reps
205 lbs x 3 reps
215 lbs x 3 reps
225 lbs x 1 rep
235 lbs x 0 reps
This was weird. 225 should've been 2 but my spotter touched the bar so I discounted the first rep. Then, my new spotter needed to give me a helping hand on the 235 set. The video shows this better.

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

Front Planks: BW x 60 seconds x 3 sets

Decent session...

lol we're the same on cgbp for now! The other day I could only get 225x2 on cgbp I've found BY FAR the most strength I lose backpacking is bench, probably because the chest muscles do nothing for hiking. Weirdest thing though was that when I got back my military oress was actually strong? Any ideas why that would happen I mean it doenst make any sense really?

There are so many factors which kick in....I dunno. I've gotten stronger on CGBP and as a result my OHP has also gone up a lot. They go hand in hand. Like Squats and Deads
