My Training Journal

[bblazer]

wow that looks awesome, like I said even though there is some stuff not included that I would have liked to do, Im gonna give it a try and if its working then Ill keep it. If my numbers get up that high I might compete sooner than October...

The funny thing is, that it is going to work.

If you want to be strong, do what the strong guys who came before you did.

You don't need 177 different exercises done in exotic training splits to be able to push around heavy shit. Ed Coan doesn't target his hamstrings from 33 different angles and then gauge his hypertrophy in the mirror.

You just need to do things like pick up a heavy barbell, set it down and repeat until you can't do it.

Then do it again.

Easy peasy.

I hit 226x8 ATG before but they were done like breathing style with lots of rest between reps, hell I even hit 231x7 like that but as I said I kept the rest to just a couple of breaths between the last reps this time.

It was wierd my squatting out of the hole was real hard, then when I got half way up the top half was so easy the bar often jumped up off my back as I locked my legs out cause I came up from the top qaurter of the ROM so fast...

Really think of driving up with your hips & ass. Then just before your knees lock out thrust your hips forward.

So how did bench day go?

[ExtraMile]

been real busy with school work and stuff and havnt been to the gym since Monday, I will be going tomorrow, Ill do bench day then instead of skipping to deadlift, Im actually still sore from squats so maybe the extra rest will help because deadlifting with sore hams glutes and quads could effect the weight/reps...

real excited to bench!
