Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

al420 said:
So I went to the comp yesterday morn for a couple hours - forgot camera of course. Got to see some 12-16yr olds Snatch and then watch Glenn Pendlays 5yr old Clean and Jerk 13 kilos. He grunts on the clean and grunts onthe jerk - his dad is smiling from ear to ear - it was very neat. WF is a breeding groud for future Olympians.

There was a 16yr old that was being introduced as the top 16yr old in the country in his weight class, he was out of Houston. He was easily snatching 135% his BW - real impressive.

Overall it was really fun. I didn't get to see the Men lift, and the lifter I hoped to see (Shankle) is already at the Olympic Training Center...Pendlay is turning out some machines. He had a 12 or 13 yr old that had tremendous strength from the floor. Another beast out of WF, Claleb Ward I think his name is, anyway he is a big kid - seeing a young guy all decked out in his Team USA warmups was pretty neat. Didn't get to see him lift but he is supposed to be the man.

You 2 should do it - why not right?
 
Al don't forget your camera next time, you hyped the pics on this thread for forever!:) Still, your account of it was good. It is really nice to read about the youth it is not a well publicized aspect of the sport (as if there is a well publicized aspect).

There is a usaweightlifting comp in rego park queens on February 3rd and I am really thinking about going, so thanks for the inspiration.

tha's awesome that you got your 8yr old into it. i wish i never fawked up my back so i could lift one day with my son. must be an awesome experience!!

also, switched to cottage cheese and pineapple first thing in the monring instead of the shake..not too bad actually

I am scared of pineapples bro - tummy couldn't take it.

Lifting w/ my son is pretty neat - can't wait till he is a little bigger

are you showing him deadlifts and compound movements? or just pushups, chins and situps? he drinking protein shakes with you yet lol?
 
So far he has learned the Back Squat, Front Squat, High Pulls, and Dead Lifts. Most of the time we just do body weight work, and form is paramount. He has been doing chins, pull ups, and situps for years.

No protien shakes...lol. My wife is very healthy and the kiddos are on 100% organic diets - he does know meat builds muscle and cookies make you fat...lol

Like it was my bitch!! My grip was a little shot from the PC's or I would have done another set.

GP rows will stay in my new plan. I am thinking about something like this:

Monday:
Back Squat: 5x5 - adding weight each set - using Bill Star Template
Deadlift: 5x5 - adding weight each set - using Bill Star Template
Decline Ab: 4x10 - adding weight as needed

Tuesday:
CGBP: 5x5 - straight sets - +5lbs per week
DB Military: 3x10 - straight sets - +5lbs per week
Weighted Hyper: 4x10 - adding weight as needed

Thursday:
Power Clean: 5x5 - adding weight each set - using Bill Star Template
Back Squat: 3x5, 3x3, 1x12 - ala Bill Star Template from Day 3 lifts
GP Row: 5x5 - straight sets - +5lbs per week
Jump Shrug: 6x5 - adding weight each set - using Bill Star Template

Friday:
BTN PP: 5x5 - straight sets - +5lbs per week
CGBP: 3x5, 3x3, 1x12 - ala Bill Star Template from Day 3 lifts
Decline Ab: 4x10 - adding weight as needed
Weighted Hyper: 4x10 - adding weight as needed
 
I like the volume.

That's a serious load. No dieting bullshit for that, right? Or at least alot of clean cals if you want to be like that :)

Pushing 3 lifts weekly and all the other volume could pose a problem eventually.

May want to have a preliminary lift or 2 you want to push and drop off one incase it becomes an issue when using all that workload.

just ideers. I dig it though.

I think we might do it bro. I'll let ya know when time comes closer! I saw your plan of attack for your lifts.. sounds good man... Keep us posted on your results! GL

Ok cool. I hear ya, you'll do it well :evil:

I'm not at that stage...yet. To damn cold to think about cutting up here... I need my winter layer, lol.
 
Todays workout: 2nd Pressing Day

CGBP: 185x5x5

DB Military: 50's x5, 70's x5x3 - hard to get these up today - I am assuming it is from yesterdays PC's.

HS High Incline: 90x8, 140x8x2

Modified Rear Delt: 20's x8, 25's x8, 30's x8 drop 12.5 x10

Standing French Press : 65x8, 75x8, 85x8

CG Push Down: 75x12x3
superset w/
Rope Push Down: 20x10x3




So this BB Bullshit stops next week. When I get back from my trip I will have finished Practical Programming for the 2nd time and will be 100% about my new program. My diet will be at or around 2.5-3k per day w/ 2 cheats per week and no booze. I have to eat some carbs to hit my lifts but I need to drop 1lb of BF per week for a few weeks and 2.5-3k seems to be the magic number. Have to get my endurance and flexibility up so I think I will do 3x a week lifting and 2x per on yoga or something like it. I'll be doing some HIIT or boxing on those days as well. Might even do Sprints PWO on Wednesdays and scrap squats that day. I want to get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger.

I need to get stronger and get leaner. What is the best way to keep/gain muscle and expunge fat...
:chomp: :evil:


:p
 
Unless you really want to do yoga (I know you'll take any excuse to wear spandex), a solid stretching routine done a couple times a day should be, along with the weighted "stretching" effect of your lifts, should be all you need. Once your flexibility improves you could drop the frequency to once per day.

Glad to hear you liked Practical Programming so much (take note, sarge ;)). I must admit that I'm wondering how, if you're planning to be on, um, HRT, during this upcoming run, you'll know how much of the progress is the result of assistance and how much is due to effective programming.

I do not want to do yoga - I look like a fool and sweat like a pig. It is actually very hard, at least for me. What is your "stretching routine"?

The HRT is more to preserve the muscle I have added in the past year and to aid in recovery. Plus I like it... :qt:

BTW - Rippetoe lifted in that meet this weekend. I didn't get to see/meet him, but the lady that told me about it said she saw him (she lifted in the meet). I turned her onto SS and PP and she was star struck when she saw he was there lifting...Funny, I saw Glenn and choose not to "bug" him. My son saw one of the 10 or 11 yr old boys I have shown him vids of, off Glenn's site, and he thought he was seeing a movie star when we met him... It was just a lot of fun.
 
I work out in the morning, so I stretch after that and again before bed. Post-WO is one good time to stretch (as you've probably seen recommended in PP), so if you can find a second time to stretch particularly tight muscles (hamstrings and hip flexors come to mind), you should be in good shape.

As for the particular stretches that are part of my routine, they're nothing extraordinary. I got pretty much all of them from ExRx and just tried to get a collection that was pretty comprehensive.
 
I'll show you a great stretching routine that takes 15 minutes and will blow your mind. Next time I'm in town we can put on your head gear, have anal sex, and stretch a bit.
