Deadlift Day

[future]

YouTube - Back session: Shawn Bellon

Today:
Got up and took Lipo stim and burn. 2 of each. Also took one Katanadrol.

15 minutes later started sipping coffee...wondering why I was awake at 430 am.

Got my pre workout drink ready in a shaker cup of N2KTS...2 scoops. I also made my pwo shake of 3 scoops Whey to Build Muscle and 2 scoops of Muscle Replenisher and 1 apple (alakaline food to reduct acid)

Took 2 dabs of Skeletal balm to my lower back. Covered up in warm ups and sweatshirt to increase blood flow so I can stretch out glutes, hams and back.

Heading out the door taking 4 GEAR.....

Got to the gym. Set up at deadlift area. Started to stretch.

Deads:
250x8
450x3
550x3 STOPPED! Back pain was pretty sharp

Neutral grip chins:
Bwt +45x8
Bwt +35x6
Bwt +25x8
Bwt x 8
**love how these feel in my back!

Hammer Iso High Rows:
135 x 8 x 4 (per side)

Glute/Ham Raises:
Bwt x 10 x 4
**painful and weak

Weight Crunches

Toe Raises:
90x20
135x10x3

Took my pwo shake and GEAR. Headed home. I will do some stretching after a hot bath for my back.

My next meal will be about 6-8 whole eggs and 2 cups of oatmeal with splenda/cinnamon.

Great video. I started laughing too when you said "need to kill that shit". It's an AWESOME name and definitely makes it's point to the target audience. Very catchy.

Future,

While I have done them for GHRs for years, one thing about them has always eluded me. I have never been able to figure how much weight I am actually raising. Is there a rough rule of thumb for that? For example if I am 6' 1" and 260 with a 33" inseam what would I be lifting? The only thing I could come up with is that I would have to estimate what my upper body weighs, and then try and figure what the folcrum point on my body is, and then compensate somehow for the "lever arm" of the raise.

I know this is kinda "out there" but I am a geek, and I teach geeks, so I am always thinking of geek stuff like that.

It's actually a lot more complicated than that. Not only do you need to know the weight in front of the fulcrum and the set point. You also need to know the distances of the muscle attachments relative to the fulcrum. Also since the fulcrum moves depending on what point you are at there is a shift in the radial arm. Another portion is how much contractile tissue involved in the lift is in front of the fulcrum at each stage of the motion. And if you are doing a full ghr at the bottom position the weight load has a huge shift between the hamstrings and the glutes and vice versa on the upward portion of the motion. I know some periodicals have done these types of studies like the "Journal of Sports Medicine" so that might be a good place to start for an estimate.

I have no idea. We were talking about band tension the other day as well.

Great geek response.

Thanks!

Are we to assume you are training at sea level? Higher altitudes may dictate a change from 9.81Nm/s to a slightly lower force of gravity...

No.

Roughly 947.6 feet above sea level.

Seriously.

The top of Mount Everest (8,850 metres) causes a weight decrease of about 0.28% so I'd say we can discount it.
