good stuff on the cutting man! I got back from my last backpacking and hiking trip and am 189.0 with shorts and shirt lol, I can see my abs haha

 

[JDid23]

EM- lets see some progress pics soon man. I'm anxious to see how you've progressed

 

[ExtraMile]

lost another half pound down to 200.5 this morning...

changed my diet plan too, no longer forcing food down to hit x amount of cals and x amount of protein etc. Eating less and spending more of the day hungry. Carbs are kept quite low throughout the day then the meal(s) before I workout I eat more carbs but cut them out afterwards until the next training day. Fats as low as possible. Pretty much zero milk.

jdid Im gonna put progress pics up when Iv lost like 20lbs not 8 lol

 

[Andalite]

20 lbs will show much more than 8 lbs

Curious...with your bench routine, are the first 4 sets warmups, or are you working on power then building up to working sets with heavier weights?

Curious...with your bench routine, are the first 4 sets warmups, or are you working on power then building up to working sets with heavier weights?

I have been lifting for strength for the past 2 years or so. What I did then was start with the bar and add weight each set keeping the reps low like 3-8 and doing easy sets and ramp up each set until I got close to my heavy weight, then I would do 1 or 2 reps with like 90% of the weight I was aiming to hit for that workout, then do the heavy weight set and after that call it a day. For a while I added a back off set after the heaviest set and for a while I did 5 sets of 10 reps with 50% of my estimated 1rm for speed and power work after my heaviest set so a bench press session may go

Benchpress:
bar x 8
88 x 5
116 x 5
138 x 5
176 x 3
204 x 1
225 x 5
-back off set or 5x10 or whatever or just finish with the 225 set

but lately Iv been lifting more like a bodybuilder giving my joints a rest and trying to loose some bodyweight, so I have been alternating between a heavier chest workout which is like 7-10 reps and a lighter chest workout which is like 10-15 reps per set and doing 3-5 sets of flat bench, incline DB and flat flyes.

I have been doing this alternating rep range thing for every bodypart since I started cutting weight but not using the reps for each bodypart. Quads for example is 9 and 15 for the reps. Back is 12 and 20.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Jus to let u know em u don't wanna do explosive lifting after u r fatigues, it defeats the purpose. U wanna do it like a plyometric, few set, few reps and when ur not tired

 

[ExtraMile]

the actual purpose of the 5x10 isnt meant to be for explosive strength, if i wanted that I would do 6x3 with 50%, the 5x10 is actually to practice form and to work up in weight as your max increases for hypertrophy purposes, but I made my reps as explosive as possible and it seemed to help my benchpress.

Its from the 5/3/1 manual, he says use 50% at first and bump it up after you get used to it, I kept the weight the same pretty much the whole time and just made the reps fast and explosive and practiced form, also practiced getting a good arch and keeping tight on the bench. Seemed to work pretty well but I didnt use it for that long so I cant really be sure...

 

[the.gladiator1987]

Oh gotcha. Hows the cutting going bro?

 

[ExtraMile]

going good, got down from 209 to 200.5 in like 4 weeks, then been on holiday for the last 4 days and going back out on holiday tomorrow for another week so Im not sure what my weight will be like after, Ill try and eat the best I can though.

packing today and sorting stuff out but if I have time Ill hit the gym in the evening...

 

[ExtraMile]

Today -

was meant to be deads, hams, calves but got a bit clusterfucked.

First off I think I have a broken toe so couldnt do calf raises. Second I tryed some moderate-heavy deadlifts for the frist time in around 4 months or so due to my injury (they felt good btw) and thirdly I have a deep, painful cut in my finger on one hand from a rock while on holiday so gripping was an issue

anyway it was an evening workout and considering my diet has been pretty bad over the last 4 days I was quite pleased with how it went

you bastard! They were boring because you werent maxing out man. Anyway how did 275x5 db over feel?

 

[JDid23]

why don't you switch to a mixed grip?

 

[ExtraMile]

because I didnt need to use a mixed grip it was only 275 lol

tblock I wasnt maxing but the 5th rep was hard I think my 1rm is probably 290-305 it sucks lol

I need to work on form though, was better than usual but not perfect, need more glute activation, more power and a stronger arch. Ill video it next hamstring workout and post it up...

Well I've been wondering why havent you been going heavy on bench? You dont have shoulder injuries right so why not 5x3x220....or something like that? You should shoot for a 300 bench man fuck the toher stuff if you are injured

 

[ExtraMile]

give joints a rest while cutting, never mensioned it in my log as it never bothered any of my lifts and wasnt bad but up until recently I have had sore shoulders pretty much 24/7. I can only describe the pain as if I had sore delts all day every day, but it was the underside of the delt that was sore, not like real DOMS or anything if you imagine the very bottom of the delt where it lies on the shoulder bone or whatever it was right on there that it was sore. Deep pain didnt hurt if I pressed on it or anything.

I was pretty much in denial about it because my upper body training was going very well and I didnt want to change a thing but I knew deep down it was bad news and would probably turn into something bigger over time, so when I started cutting I saw it as the opportunity to try and figure out what was doing it and since I stopped doing dips it has pretty much gone so I think they were the source of the pain. When I used to do my dumbell presses I would flare my elbows right out too to get maximal chest involvement and often come away with a little shoulder pain in my right shoulder that went away a while later. So now with dumbell presses I turn my wrists a little to bring my elbows in a slight bit more and everything seems fine.

Heavy benching would be pointless right now Im not gonna reach a 300 bench on this cutting diet. My benching isnt that light anyway I alternate between 7-10 and 10-15. Like I said before I have two rep ranges for each muscle now and alternate between them each workout.

When you get to heavier weights are you gonna switch? Hell, I bet i would really struggle to get 275x5 double overhand.

Also, I remember having a conversation a while ago (i'm not on much anymore) on MSN about your deadlift after i watched your form.. I think we agreed the problem was from your glutes, so that's a good thing to work on. Pullthroughs might help that... Anxiously awaiting your next vid bro good luck

 

[ExtraMile]

Yeah I remember, basically the problem came because at first I didnt used to drag the bar up my legs, it was like an inch infront, so I started concentrating on dragging it up my legs and it got to the point where at the top of the movement instead of locking my hips through with my glutes I was leavering the bar up my leaning back and dragging it up my thighs, I think I was subconciously compensating for weak/innactive glutes by using leaverage. So the lockout was a slight hitch and was a little jerky, this is why I was getting the mid/upper back problems. And both times I had the back injuries it was a small tweak that I made worse with heavy 1 arm rows.

Iv got a killer quad workout planned out and lined up for whenever I can get into the gym, I cant wait

Hmm I often have kind of a continual soreness in my delts. Do you actually think that is an injury then?

 

[ExtraMile]

well it cant be good if I have a mild pain deep in my shoulders 24/7 lol, I would say its an injury because it didnt prevent me from doing anything though

about to set off on holiday again for another week, there is actually a gym in the area but its a typical fitness centre, theres actually a rule that under 16s can only use cardio machines lol because i remember asking there last year when I was 15 since we went to the same place last year. Ill see what its like maybe I can get a couple of workouts in over the holiday or at least some cardio

 

[Andalite]

take a vid of the deadlifts. it'll be a lot easier to help.

 

[ExtraMile]

Been on holiday for the past week, got to workout once because long story short I rang up the sales management for the leasure centre that was near by and said I was staying on a long term holiday and was going to be in thecarea for a long time and wanted a day to try out the gym before I signed up for a long contract lol. So I got this workout for free and it was pretty fun. Didn't really have much spare time anyway so it's not like I missed alot of workouts.

Wasnt expecting much because even though my diet wasn't as good as usual it wasn't like I was bulking again.

Loved the rear delt work which I did sitting backwards on a seated flye machine, my regular gym doesn't have that machine. My regular gym doesn't have an EZ Bar attachment for cables either so I tryed it out for tri and bi work but swapped to the straight bar after the first dropset because I didn't like it.

This was the workout anyway, I did chest and arms with some shoulders in there too and my traps were also sore the next day...

dude, were you only able to manage 154x6 for bench? I'd imagine you were taking it light since even 2-3 weeks off shouldn't leave that much of a drop in your bench. are you still on vacation? where'd you go and how is/was your trip?

forgot to mension, the benches were thinner than usual and stability when benching was a bit harder, and yeah I was tires from the other two sets and diet wasn't as good as I said.

Lol I can't believe when I was bulking I managed 25 reps with 1 plate a side after a 1rm 242 bench and 198 for 5 reps on CGBP, strength loss sucks.

Dude....be goal specific man. Fucking doing GVT with less than 135 lbs squats is so silly. Doing GVT is silly enough but compound that with the light weights and you got a sign saying you need to check your priorities. I'm being harsh for a reason: I ain't gonna jump on the "Ooooooooooohhh GVT is so awesome you're the man, EM!" bandwagon coz it's not awesome and what you're doing at your strength level is silly.

But I recognize that @ 15 you aren't gonna make smart decisions all the time. So go roll with it. But remember this: the longer you put off addressing your injuries, the longer the recovery will be.

You can get a 500 Deadlift in less than 5 years. You keep delaying training right and then when you do decide to train right, guess what? You'll need to prepare even more to overcome these injuries.

Andalite: Why do you always get his age wrong lol? First you said he was 14, then 15. He turned 16 a little while ago I want some of that 500 deadlift action myself! I just looked back and my last real pr on deadlifts was 5/30/10 with 405x5. If I had of kept that 5 pounds a week which is ususally easy for me to keep I would have easily had a 500 deadlift by now I know you are about patient lifting andalite. But damn I missed the next 2 weeks of deadlifting after that and since then I have been missing time on and off with backpacking and camping and all If I had of kept to it consistenly once a week I could have pulled 500 and probably with good form too.

EM: Sorry to take up your log man I've been wondering how is your injury doing?

Dude I'm sorry.....14,15,16 are so close. He might be all 3

Your training is erratic and poorly planned. You're trying to conquer many mountains at one time. And that 5 lbs per week thing is BS once you hit the 400s. LOL...what you think this growth is gonna be exponential?

You need to work within a range. Take 385-415. You absolutely must do doubles and triples in this range. Do that for 4-6 weeks. Every week. You work on those doubles and triples. You've read the SDT Protocol, right? So you progress accordingly for those 4-6 weeks. By that time you've built up enough strength to take the 415-445 range. You work on that for 5-7 weeks. Get real good at it.

Then, work in the 445-475 range. Get good at that.

Etc etc

See how simple it is?!?

You just got to be consistent.

You need to work within a range. Take 385-415. You absolutely must do doubles and triples in this range. Do that for 4-6 weeks. Every week. You work on those doubles and triples. You've read the SDT Protocol, right? So you progress accordingly for those 4-6 weeks. By that time you've built up enough strength to take the 415-445 range. You work on that for 5-7 weeks. Get real good at it.

Then, work in the 445-475 range. Get good at that.

Etc etc

See how simple it is?!?

You just got to be consistent.

That makes since you just gotta understand how damn effective that 5 reps a week adding 5 pounds was. I mean seriously I took it from 315x5 to 405x5. Not bad progress. I honestly think I could have kept going to 455x5 if it wasnt for all the shit that has been going on this summer.

Your right though I honestly believe the key to deadlifting is consistency, once a week.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

I know theres good training techniques but you realize if you give yourself an extra 500 calories a day you will continue to get stronger as long as you train heavy and consistently. So make sure your diet is on par before you mess with your training.

I agree once you get to a point where you arent making jumps every week you should wok within a range and get good at it.

I'm not doing GVT. I never said I was. I wouldn't want to. My goal right now is to get lean enough to have visible upper abs when relaxed. And obviously I want to hold onto as much size and strength as I can.

tblock: My injury is pretty much cleared now. And yes I'm 16 now lol.

Jdid: yes the chins were wide overhand grip. I didn't really cheat on them. But I don't get the bar right under my chin though it was more like mouth to the bar. My lats and traps were sore as fuck the next day!

Weight is 199 in the morning before eating right now.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

fuck 199 bro cut cut cut your a big boy for 16 y/o cant wait to see pics of the final result

fuck 199 bro cut cut cut your a big boy for 16 y/o cant wait to see pics of the final result

hell yeah cant wait to see what I look like at 185 or 180.

Going to try and keep this clean eating even when Im bulking now, I dont want to be 18-20% bodyfat ever again.

Just trying to force myself to go and do some cardio now, I decided to throw in an extremely low carb day today, had a small amount of oats in the morning then cut the carbs out for the rest of the day.

Oh yeah and my gym is closing on the 22nd

 

[ExtraMile]

Just did 45mins of cardio. I had around 40g of carbs at breakfast today and pretty much zero carbs throughout the day, only carbs I may have had came from some green beans and some green peas. Maximum around 15g total from those two meals. I just had a shake and a very small amount of carbs after my cardio, totals were 60g of protein and 15g of carbs. No more carbs until tomorrow now.

Oh yeah and I have a job interview tomorrow working in a 4 star hotel

lol, the 4 star one is like 10 mins walk away from my house so I applied there

When I said I was 199 it was rounded up, I was actually 198.5

But I woke up this morning at 197.6!

I was meant to do calves but I forgot lol. At least they got some work from leg curls.

*was only going to do one of these sets and get it videoed but the batteries in my camera ran out and so only got half of the lift, luckily I had some spare batteries in my gym bag so I changed it and pulled the 286 again. The first 286 actually felt real good, form felt solid and I got the jiggles and twitches like andalite does when he deadlifts lol, last time this happened was when I managed to get my glutes firing and the cause of my previous injury was that I wasnt managing to get my glutes to fire so I guess its a good sign. Second set of 286 actually didnt feel as good as the first but whatever, thats the only video Iv got so Ill upload it and post it up.

Grip felt solid pulled it all double overhand except for the sets of 286, but even though the actual deadlift was quite hard, the weight felt light in my hands and I could have held onto it forever.

 

[Tblock1]

Here's my opinion on the deadlift: Your back didnt round so you are fine. However, your ass did shoot up right away and your legs locked out way before your hips, so you could improve that. Might want to pm andalite to see what he says about this

 

[JDid23]

1. your starting position should have your back more arched (IMO)
2. rounded your back
3. your ass is raising before everything
4. try pullthroughs

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

Drive hard with your heels and squeeze your ass hard.

When you start the pull rather than look straight forward look down at the ground 4-6' in front of you. Your head will still be in a neutral position and actually this is a more natural looking direction.

Keep the bar close to your body. It appears your ass shoots up abit fast because the bar is drifting away from your shins as you pull up.

Granted, with the plates blocking my view a little this is a guess looking at the center of the plate in relation to your lower leg.

Yes, I can take heavier crap dropped on me than you. Good day sir.

Thanks, if you look my knees are straight before my hips are locked but as I lock my hips my knees do lock back. Yeah ass shooting up has always been a problem ever since I started the deadlift, it used to be much worse than this though.

2. rounded your back

my back didnt round, but thanks. I didnt manage to keep a good arch I know but I didnt round.

yeah andalite said the only real problem was my ass came up a bit.

Today - Chest, Tri's

Morning workout, woke up late and was finishing my breakfast in the car as I got to the gym lol

Benchpress
66 x 8
110 x 6
154 x 3
176 x 9 not good, bad lift off...

Incline DB
STRIPSET: 61's x 10 PR (while cutting), went down to 50's, then 39's, then 27.5's
Then a normal set of 61's x 4 super strict form

Flat Flye
27.5's x 14 PR (while cutting)
33's x 7 at this point my chest was pumped like fuck
33's x 6

Weighted Bench Dips
33lb plate x 18 - first 15 were easy as piss then I was just gassed
STRIPSET: 33lb plate x 13 - bodyweight x like 10 reps - heals on the floor x half a rep lol - feet on the floor x 10

super quick workout got to the gym 35mins before it closed which is why I did the strip sets and only 1 real set of flat BB, rests were short and got a good pump. My chest is trembling as Im typing this lol

lots of PR's though I think it was because I didnt do many sets of benchpress.

holy fuck at the bench dips, Got to the point where I had feet on the floor and I couldnt even hold myself up. I tryed again, set myself up and went to dip down couldnt even control the negative and just fell straight down into the bottom of the rep lol.

walked back from the gym which took ~40mins

 

[ExtraMile]

just had my first bad meal for a week or so and I feel guilty and fat lol

 

[JDid23]

not bad bro. can't wait to see some progress pics

 

[ExtraMile]

Im still looking fat lol. Like I said Ill take a new pic every 10lbs I loose.

Im down to 196.5 this morning.

Cant wait to be 180 and lean lol

105 x 7 don't ask me how lol

Standing Calf Raise
bw + 25lb weighted vest x 30

hard calf stretches

3 sets each for both internal and external rotator cuffs

Bulgarian Split Squats -- didn't feel like leg pressing
bw x 5/5
+ 17lb Db's in each hand x 10/10
+ 27.5lb Db's in each hand x 10/10
+ 33lb Db's in each hand x 10/10
+ 39lb Db's in each hand x 10/10

I have pretty bad balance due to a brain tumour I had removed 6 years ago Im considering doing the split squats more regularly to help correct that, on my left legged set with 39s I actually toppled over twice lol

Roman Chair Situps -- first time, loved them!
4 sets of 15 no extra weight but holy asshole what a burn

situps were inbetween split squats and barely any rest soon as I finished the situps I went and got the db's and went into the next set, could hardly breath during the 39s

35mins cycling

managed to get a pretty cool roman chair situp rig using a flat bench, squat rack and bar, basically put the bar on the safeties and hooked my legs underneath it and sat my ass on the bench which was layed out horizontally. Awesome exercise I hope I will be able to do them in my new gym (tomorrow is my last workout in my current gym )

Awesome Workout!

 

[JDid23]

good job man. To be honest i don't think i could do squats the way you're doing them right now so props to you for that. Bulgarians are harder than they look. I'd recommend starting lighter and using good form- they're a hell of an exercise

My form was good I think lol, I dont see how you can go wrong really, I went deep until my knee was just about to touch the floor and did the reps slow and controlled. If I didnt loose my balance I think I could hit the 39's for 15+ reps. Man if you guys really want Ill video my form lol.

Yeah these squats are fun! And both times now Iv finished and wished I went a bit heavier! Im thinking Ill use either 165 or 171 for 8x8 next workout. But Im going on holiday again on Wednesday until the following Monday so it will be a while until I get round to hitting quads again.

Gonna hit back, grip and cardio tomorrow.

 

[SouthernLord]

Bulgarians rock!!!! Keep doing them. I struggled with 30 pounds when I started a few weeks (month or so) back. I hit the 75's for 8 with each leg last week. I'm gonna go for the 80's tomorrow after squats.

Single leg DB SLDLs are a fucking winnar too. Try them after DLs on your next hammy day. I superset them with walking lunges as per timtim's advice and I'm up to the 70's for 8 reps each leg for the SLDLs plus the Lunge. That combo murders my hams.

Hey bro

My balance is the main thing that limits me.

Thanks Ill have to try that superset some time!

 

[SouthernLord]

My balance was all fuxked up too. Even with bodyweight. You have to really focus on your working leg. It's definitely mind/muscle thing.

I actually do these barefoot and it helps my back foot keep in better contact with the bench. It seems to really help with the balance.

Plus balancing makes all those little under used muscles fire.

To be honest,,,, after squats then the BSS my quads are smoked. I haven't done a leg press since starting these. My goal is the 100's for eight reps per leg. Same with the walking lunges.

100s would be sick. I'm not sure how my strength will go on the BSS (or anything else for that matter) on this cutting diet, the carb cycling has helped my strength a little but my upper body pressing def seems to have suffered more than anything.

At least I'm getting better at chins though lol.

How long were you cutting for before your injury? How much weight did you loose?

 

[Tblock1]

wow great workout em! Them squats are impressive, that will definitely get you some more mass

 

[moya]

balance eh?... ready for some pistol squats....

 

[SouthernLord]

I lost about twenty pounds and had another ten to go before I was shredded. I projected to be 180 at single digits. Shit just didn't go as planned lol

I intend to start dieting again in December. This time I'll use super supplements though so things should be a little different

that's a sick workout bro. Btw, why did you do any static holds with a mixed grip? Your grip probably > mine.. i gotta get to work on that shit. Did the rows feel ok on your back??

 

[SouthernLord]

Nice workout!

Supersupps as in aas.

5'10" at 180 and single digit bodyfat is pretty jacked for a natty lifter. I could really care less about being massively huge. I just wanna look good and lift heavy shit.

The new goal is 200 at single digits with a 2x bw squat and 2.5x bw pull for reps

I didnt realise it had gotten so long lol. In future my back+shoulder workouts are just going to be 5 or 6 exercises. I decided to just kill it today cause I knew I was going on holiday.

Why not do mixed grip holds Im going to be pulling like that...

Rows felt ok but they were hardly heavy, 61s is nothing I got injured doing 88s for 25 reps per side...

man, i wanted to lift this morning but i drank a shitload of patron last night and when i was already hammered i had vodka- i woke up with a terrible hangover today and it's just starting to go away. If you plan to lift the day after drinking make sure you eat a lot before/during you drink and that you drink a fuck of a lot of water. Lifting with a hangover is terrible- i've done it once and it hindered the hell out of my performance

Drank enough to mean I couldnt walk in a straight line anymore and woke up at 6.00am the next morning and Im fine and not even tired no headache nothing! I dont normally get headaches or anything from drinking... I just feel slightly dizzy right now lol.

Lmao man hilarious and true haha! Don't limit yourself to a gym man! Do pushups, pullups, situps, front squats, overhead presses with whatever and wherever you can do them.
Here's videos of a guy I follow on youtube from england:

YouTube - Death by Front Squat
YouTube - Loaded Sprints and Slab Weightlifting Fail

He does tons of lifts outside just hiking around finding stuff to lift, and he's pretty damn strong for 5'5 155. He pulled 445, overhead pressed 170x2, and squatted 300x5

went to check out a gym today, pretty expensive and not even a bench or squat rack! wtf! needless to say Ill have to keep looking...

Iv lost some more weight too which is wierd because iv not lifted in 10 days and Iv been on holiday for 6 or 7 or those, and I got drunk the other day too lol. Maybe its muscle My initial thought was that I was dehydrated after the drinking but I drank quite alot yesterday and this morning I re-weighed myself and Im 192.5...

Dont really understand why and gotta say I dont really look any differant from when I was 196...

My jeans dont fit anymore they keep falling down lol and my school trousers which I was having trouble squeezing into when I was doing my exams in June (I used to have to unbutton them half way through exams cause they cut the blood supply off from my legs they were so tight) fit me again!

First day at work today, fuckin sucked it was so boring but very easy work. Pay is decent. 7 hour shift today, then 8 hour shift on Saturday starting at 7am. Then Im delivering newspapers from 8am till 9am on Sunday morning followed my an 8 hour shift at the hotel from 10am until 6pm!

Got there today and for my eating break which I wasnt expecting I had to eat in the cantein and all they had was chicken burgers (in white bread) and fries! It annoyed the hell out of me because other than that meal my diet has been near perfect today, it was a low carb day and I ate 5 meals too which is good. Not counting the bad meal I got around 50g of carbs total, 30g of fat and 210g of protein. Then that at the hotel was probably 100g of mostly fast carbs wtf

Heard about a new gym that both my mum and dad have been to in the past and has been closed for years now is re-opened! My mum said it never was a fitness centre type it was a proper gym so hopefully its still like that. Its situated ontop of a car park too so not a fancy place, sounds good so far hopefully get to check it out tomorrow! I wanna lift so bad!

Went to visit a new gym today and was expecting it to be good. Used to be very popular years ago but got closed down. Was recently bought and re-opened by a gymnastics club and they decided to put a gym in there again. Its in a rough area of the city ontop of a car park, down a long corridoor and its just basically a small room. No bigger then a class room.

Got in there and though yeah this is cool but the more I looked around and stuff the worse it seemed. The cost for 1 session is three times as expensive as my last gym, and the cost for a monthly member ship is also 3 times as expensive as my last gym. There is a lack of equipment too;

shitty looking squat rack, safeties looked to be non-adjustable
only basic machines: check press, pec dec, shoulder press, leg ext, leg adducter - no leg press
maybe 3 treadmills
not much floor space
only 2 oly bars
1 benchpress rack
few fixed weight BBs
basic cable station
preacher curl bench
DB's up to I think 100s

thats pretty much it and the guy at the desk said on monday it gets so busy if your training chest you cant really get on anything and the whole room is packed lol

opening times are worse than my old gym

I guess it would do in an emergency but Im thinking the long bus journey and walking to the new location that my gym moved to would be worth it to just be training with everything I had before...
