Nelmsjer's 2006 Journal

Congrats on having learned from your experiences. ;)

Have you tried straight egg-white? It reputedly has the highest bio-availability rating of any food.

Thanks. Isn't the School of Hard Knocks great?! :worried:

I think egg whites are the direction I am going to go with. I'll just order a couple of pounds and go with it!

Nelm, I wouldn't sprint on off days if it's right between training days (i.e., don't sprint Tuesday or Thursday when you lift Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Hormonally, training two heavy days in a row (and yes, sprints should be seen as a workout, AND HEAVY) will fuck you up. Honestly, I'd drop a squatting session (say, Wednesday or Friday squats) and sprint in place of squats on that day. Sprinting (not even all out, mind you) will give your lower body plenty of work, and if you're sprinting for transfer over to sport or anything, it'll do you much greater service than squatting that extra day will.

Here's a good article to help organize training, if you ever need it:

First, thanks for the article. I have it printed and will read it this afternoon, assuming things calm down here.

Regarding the sprints, I should probably loosely clarify the word sprints. I am not talking about full out, vomit-inducing sprints. I'm talking about 70-80% of that. It's enough speed to push a little and get about 90+% of the range of motion of a full sprint, without all of the effort. It helps "open" the hips and keeps the flexibility there, without inducing the massive amounts of fatigue. My plan from now on is just to do about 6-8 of those per week.

Does it technically affect my ability to recover? Yes. However, I personally believe that it will IMPROVE my ability to recover. Granted, if they were full sprints, I would be leaning toward your side on this one. :) Were I sprinting all out, your suggestion of replacing the Wednesday squats with them would be excellent!

None given. See the pictures and weep. Fear the fatness.

Impressive. I did 365 x 5 x 5 today and was pretty tired. Don't think I could've done 10 x 4.

NOT BAD, yourself! Just consider that it is one less rep, and there was about 3 minutes rest between each one. I'll bet you could do it.

And now for the moment absolutely NONE of us have been waiting for:

It's time to reveal the current state of fatness. You can see why I'm getting uncomfortable...

On a positive note, this will make my after pics look great, right? (So the theory goes...)

Atta boy. Thank you. Right Trap pic my fave. Your wifey is fyne Nelms :)

Now I can add you to the list of being your own worst critic :) I cannot wait to see the cutting progression, not to specifically pick a fave part (ahem IP) but I can see why your lifts have been impressive.

I really detest feeling uncomfortable in my own skin ... I don't need to preach to you about what you ALREADY know so ... in the words of Shadow "SFTU & Train"

Thanks for the encouragement and compliments. I appreciate it a lot. :)

Oh, and thanks for the work you put into IP's PM. YOU ROCK!!! :garza:
 
Today's training was great. Felt strong the entire time.

Squats: reps of 5/5/5/5/3/8 with 165/206/247/288/337/247 - I think I grinned the entire time. I felt strong, and I freaking love these.

Bench: reps of 5/5/5/5/3/8 with 120150/180/210/246/180 - my shoulder hurt after the 246. After the 180, I could barely externally rotate it without pain. I moved it around for about 90 seconds, and it suddenly went away completely. Hmmmm.....

Power cleans: reps of 5/5/5/5/3 with 97/121/145/169/198 - unfortunately, we simply ran out of time on this workout. As such, there was no final set of 8.

GREAT workout. Now, I have a question. I am using less weight for power cleans then I could have for bent rows. I'm curious if the benefits of the power cleans at a lighter weight (about 30 lbs.) outweight the overall workload I'm missing. Make sense?

I would guess that the force generated by performing power cleans is MUCH greater than the force when puling a row, so the actual work performed is greater for PC's. Jsut kinda guessing at that but it makes sense to me.
 
Once again you guys point out the obvious that I was missing. The combination of Power and Distance make a huge difference. Thanks and K to both (if I haven't hit you recently) :)

Good stuff. While you're grinning, I have a 'Bruce Lee-constipated-yet-surprised look' when I squat.

BTW, I can only view thumbnails but you look pretty thick, especially your legs and back. Oh, and your abs are definitely more 'visible' than mine :)
 
Jim, I'm pretty sure you could eat Bruce Lee for breakfast. You: constipated. Him: surprised.

Thanks for the compliments. :)
 
Hey, all! Man, things sure are quiet at EF on the weekends!

Today's workout, with reps of 5 at each weight:

Squat: 169/211/253/295/337
Bench: 123/154/185/215/246
Power cleans: 99/124/149/174/199

Pretty tired today, but the workout was great. I hate not having a shake during and after. I can tell there is a difference.
 
I don't get over here much so I decided to take a little walk around the board and LOOKIE WHO I FOUND!!!!!!!!

Hey, Nelms! :wavey:

Pre-workout shakes with whey, creatine and dextrose always did me well. I'd follow a session with whey + dextrose. Never had one during - just water.
 
carlsuen said:
nelmjer.. are your original weights in kgs? why don't u post them as such then? rather confusing to see such odd numbers on lbs.. just a thought..
Click to expand...

hey, bud, actually I've been lazy when posting. There are 2 issues with my numbers:

1) I'm copying and pasting from the Excel spreadsheet that calculates the workout weights (madcow's), so the numbers are straight from there. I may round up or down, or I may keep the exact weight. Either way, the weight I lifted is never more than 2 lbs. off of what is listed.
2) IP and I have 1.5 lb. ankle weights that we use to add 3 lbs, when needed. So, sometimes the weights are exact, which doesn't make it end in 5 or 0. :)
 
Good workout today :)

Everything felt easy. I had a slightly sharp pain along the medial joint line of my left knee on the 3rd set of overhead squats. It went away after the 2nd rep, and that was it. I'm feeling great. My weight is holding steady at 207.5 - 208. Everything was done for sets of 5 reps.

Overhead Squat: 103/125/145/166 - 4th set was better than my 3rd
Push Press: 93/110/130/148 - actually much easier than last week
Deadlift: 225/268/315/356 - started the technique of doing stiff-leg deadlift on the way down, and then bend to floor at the knees. Feels MUCH better making it a 2-part eccentric.
Pullups: 3 sets of 5 @ bodyweight

Nothing much else to report. I'm hoping I'll keep the bodyweight the same and lean out a little bit over the next 2 weeks before vacation. If not...oh well! :)
 
You don't seem to have much difficulty with the OH squat, nice work.

And I lower the bar in 2-parts too, RDL it to my knees, then controlled drop. Or at least I try to, it still makes a clunking noise.
 
Thanks, Jim! I think I will make progress on the OH squats for quite a while. For me, it's a lot more of a stability issue than a strength issue, so I think it will just keep climbing. I hope so, anyway!!
 
Damn your overhead squats are strong,cant wait till I am that strong at them lol.Anyway good workout,keep it up :rainbow: .
 
Just back from today's workout. Friday "heavy triple" day, so breakdown in reps is: 5/5/5/5/3/8

Squats: 170/210/255/295/348/255
Bench: 125/155/185/215/253/185 - I messed up and did 4 on 253. It was feeling light. :)
Power cleans: 100/125/150/175/205/150

Great workout! I'm tired, but I am looking forward to next week! Since it seems like half of EF is gone on the weekends...have a good one! :D
 
*Bunny* said:
Have a great weekend Nelms! :D
Click to expand...

Thanks, *Bunny*! :)

Today's workout:

IP and I did 3 sets of 20 on hyperextensions and 3 sets of 15 reps on Roman chair situps. Then, we went outside and did eight 20-second "sprints" with 40-second rests. I was hurting, but it felt better than last time.

I have enough fat that my stomach "jiggles" when I run. It's really quite interesting and comical.

The other thing that IP and I have found interesting is that I now weigh 209 (PR). The intriguing aspect is that I'm not eating as much. I'm not sure what to make of it...
 
I hope everyone's weekend went well, and thanks for stopping by! :)

Today's workout was different, since the flat bench was being used after we were done with squats. So, we went straight from squats to Power Cleans. Wow...it was rough doing it this way, but I got all the reps and sets. Everything today was for sets of 5 reps, and here are the numbers.

Squat: 175/215/260/305/345 - For the first time in a long while, these got difficult. I love the feeling, though.

Power Clean: 100/125/150/180/205 - PR. I guess since I've never really done power cleans on a consistent basis, this and all that follow are PRs. I'll start labeling. :)

Bench Press: 125/160/190/220/253 - PR. This still went up nice and smoothly.

Overall, I can certainly tell I'm in week 3. I'll make all my weights in week 4, but after that, it's going to be a grind. Actually, after this week, I'll be on vacation for 3 weeks, so I'll be coming back and probably doing the exact same weights I've done for the last 2 weeks. THEN I'll hit week 4. :)

Oh, and I weighed 209.2 today. PR.
 
Incidentally, I don't know what to do about PRs on this program. I've done 335 for 12 before, but I know I didn't use this range of motion. So, I guess that technically all my lifts are PRs right now. It's strange, because I feel like I should be jumping up and down with joy for hitting these numbers at these weights and ranges of motion, but for some reason I'm not.

Writing this and thinking about it some more, I think I understand why: I was 30 lbs. lighter, so it just doesn't seem as impressive to me this time. I was somewhere around 175 when I benched 305 in college, power cleaned 225 to see if I could, deadlifted 425, and squat 405 (not through this range of motion, however). So, it just doesn't seem as rewarding weighing 30 lbs. more. I guess I feel, "Hey, you're 30 lbs. heavier, you should be doing a LOT more weight than you were".

I'd be interested in any feedback or input on this one...
 
First off congrats on the PR's, nelms.

As far as squats are concerned, I just wiped the slate clean and started over. I don't even count what I did before going full range, in fact, I'm a little embarrassed about them lol.

And even though I too am up about 30, I still get excited about a PR :D

It's the nature of the beast - you're always gonna want more. I got 5 plates on squats and literally my first thought was 'Hmm.. I wonder how long 6 plates is gonna take'. Then it occurred to me that 5 plates is a milestone and that I shoudl revel in it for a bit. But still I think more about what's next than what was.

It's a sickness :p
 
Bear in mind that not only are you using an increased range but you're also having to squat most of that extra 30lbs. ;)

All you can ever do is try to keep moving forwards. Maybe you are weaker than you used to be in some respects while being stronger in others. All that really matters is that you are stronger than you were a short while ago and that, in another short while, you expect to be even stronger again.

If those old-squats were partials then record them as such. Keep your PRs separate. Have raw PRs, belted PRs, partial-range PRs. Even have Monday PRs if it's appropriate within your training.
 
Speaking of the added 30, instead of 'hams to calves' to describe full squatting, I may soon be calling them 'belly to quads' :D
 
A lot of great feedback here, and I appreciate it. You guys are great.

G5.0: You're right. "Sickness" might be a good term for it. :) I can't say that I'm unhappy. It just doesn't feel like as big of an accomplishment at this bodyweight. Here is another factor, though: I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am going to drop this fat, yet expect to continue to get stronger, because it's just so damn addicting. While this can and does happen, it will become more and more difficult.

Blut wump: You've got it right, too, and thanks for pointing that out. I AM squatting an additional 30 lbs through a longer range of motion. And if I've learned anything through the 5x5, it's to have a core set of exercises with which you "monitor" progress, using a known #RM. If it goes up, your program is working. If it doesn't, it sucks and needs changing. Anyway, my point is that I have a set of core exercises now, and I'll be able to continually gauge from now on. That is a serious bonus.

Jim: believe me - you've got it exactly right. 'BtQ' will be the new acronym. :D
 
Today's workout:

NS situps: 3 sets of 10 reps w/ eccentric after the pause. First time I've done these, and I like them. My body shook during the first set, and so did IP's. CNS really wasn't sure what to do! LOL!

"Sprints": 9 of them today (+1 from last week) with a rest after #6 (+1 from last week). I'm feeling much more comfortable with these, and don't feel so "heavy", thank God. I'm actually starting to feel like I'm running again, instead of pounding pavement and tibias.
 
Good stuff nem, you just reminded me to do some ab work before i hop on the treadmill.
I have been rushed off my feet lateley trying to do a whole buncha different things, i will be reading up on yours and as many outher peoples journals as i can in next few weeks.
Blast those PR's :)
 
Busy, busy here at work these days...almost time for vacation, too!

Yesterday's workout:

Overhead squats: 105/125/150/170 (PR) - simply put: this was awesome. I was stronger than last week, and it actually felt considerably easier than last week. I think this is a great example of a situation where the neurological gains for a new exercise are the predominant cause of improvement for the first several weeks (4-6) of a program. I hate racking this after the set, though, because my dang hands are so close to the bar hooks. I'm afraid I'm going to pinch the crap out of them!

Push Press: 95/115/135/150 (PR) - same story. Much easier than last week.

Deadlifts: 230/275/320/366 - The first 2 sets of these were definitely "wake up" sets, which seems odd since it is the 3rd exercise. I need to add another warmup set, here. 366 was a blast and went up just fine.

Pullups: 4 sets of 5. Ran out of time, but these didn't go smoothly. It could be due to my final PR of the day...

Bodyweight: 210.6!!!!!!!!!! This is getting ridiculous. I stopped trying to gain weight 1 week ago! What in the heck?
 
Awesome day at work today. Workout was cut short, but got 90% of it in. Today is Triple Friday, so reps are 5/5/5/5/3/8. Here it is:

Squat: 175/215/260/305/355/260 - the 3rd rep of the triple was slow, but not so much to even contemplate failure. Next week's would go up fine (except I won't be here).

Bench: 125/160/190/220/260/190 - 260 was easy. I got done and IP asked me, "Was that hard at all?" Dang, I love this program. :D

Power Cleans: 105/128/155/210 - This is where we ran short on time, so the reps here are 5/5/5/3. The 210 is a PR for a triple. It's not until the last set on either the 5's or the 3's that I have to dip under the bar, but I definitely had to this time. It wasn't a low dip or anything, but I definitely had to drop probably 8-12 inches! LOL!

Well, it's Friday again, and very few of y'all are here on the weekends, so enjoy it and have a great one! Given my location, I can't explain too much, but I will be on vacation soon and will be gone for about 3 weeks. If I don't get a chance to "see" you, have a great time and lift LOTS!

This is good information. I may have to utilize it at some point down the road...

For now, just a few more details to be worked out.... :evil:
 
Awesome, awesome workout today. PR city. :)

Today's workout was supposed to be week 4's Monday workout. We did Friday's instead, to push ourself one last time before our break. After the heavy triple, I did a single. So, rep scheme across sets is: 5/5/5/5/3/1

Squats: 180/225/265/315/365/415(PR!) - Oh, yeah. This is starting to get fun. :)

Bench Press: 135/165/195/225/265/308(PR!) - 3 plates are in my future. I feel it. :D

Power clean: 105/135/160 - We were running out of time, and I was scheduled for a 215 triple. So, I said "just put 225 on there". And then I busted out 225 for a triple and another PR!

So, afterwards I'm waiting on my wife to come out so we can get back to work. She walks around the corner after changing and still has the pumped look, and she has on this tight pink scoop neck shirt with "sleeves" that just barely cover her shoulders (by design). And my freaking jaw dropped. My wife looks like a freaking sexy fitness model.

God is good, my friends...very good, indeed. :P
 
Holy crap - what got into you? Pre-vacation adrenaline or something?

Nice job - not sure if you were there before but you're at the magical 300-400-500 milestone :chomp: Sweet!
 
Alright...I'm back!

I'll probably need a few days to catch up before I can elaborate on vacation, but the journaling will resume today. :) Also, I'm starting to diet down and drop bodyfat.

New PRs while on vacation:

1) Squat: a double with 180 kilos (396 lbs.)
2) DB Incline Press: 5 reps with 45 kg (99 lbs.)

Both of these were done in Brisbane, Australia, while lifting with a member of the Women's board and her husband, whom we stayed with for a week. They were unbelievably wonderful people and hosts, and we are trying to figure out how to meet up again with oceans separating us.

Gotta' go for now. Glad to be back, and thanks for the comments. :)
 
yep. Back in Iraq. :) It feels good to be "home". :D

Today's workout: IP and I went for a run. I finished a course that I was originally told was a 5K in 21:05. Let me be quick to say that it is NOT a 5K! I'm going to go measure sometime later today or tomorrow.
 
Oh, I forgot! One more PR on vacation...

Bench Press: 120 kilos (264 lbs.) for 5 reps. If I remember right, this was actually not too bad at all. :)

Overhead Squat: I can't remember, exactly. Mermaid or IP, can you help me on this one??? I think I did 80 kilos (176 lbs.) for either 3 or 5 reps. Either way, it would be a PR. :)
 
Welcome back!!! Nice job on the PR's doll! WOO HOO!!!! I didn't expect an less of you though. Have a great weekend! Happy training =)

Damn. Good stuff bro. OH squats continue to pwn me.

Are your hands WAY back when you get to the bottom? I know I'm strong enough to handle some weight on these but the bar wants to tip forward when I'm in the hole.

I'm thinking that this is upper back weakness or shoulder inflexibilty- any thoughts?
 
Do you take roids or have you ever taken them ?
Congrats on pr's, good luck getting that 3 plate bench.

Thanks, man. :)

Given your lifts, I doubt that it is upper back weakness. It COULD be, but I am more inclined to think it is shoulder inflexibility. WORK on the shoulder flexibility, because I think you could do some great weight on these!

Nope! I solemnly swear that I have never taken steroids. :) Promise.

I thought about it in college. Thankfully, someone talked me out of it. Now, here I am 10 years later, slightly stronger than I was in college. I used to kick myself when I thought about where I COULD be now if I had simply kept with lifting, but I have learned that it is a mistake to learn from. Now, I know to keep at it, no matter what, even if it means I hit the gym a couple of times on vacation. ;) The cool thing is that I literally KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will be stronger and as lean as I was in college, in about 3-4 months.

After that, I'll have a new decision to make: "bigger" or "faster". That is about the time I'll be leaving Iraq, so there are going to be a ton of factors involved in the decision. I've been offered a position as assistant manager of a racquet and fitness club in Arizona, where I will also be able to train (both myself and clients) as much as I want. Right or wrong, "looking the part" is going to be important if I take the position.

Anyway, I'm obviously rambling. Thanks for your post, and I plan on hitting the 315 in about a month. :) K to you. :)

coolcolj posted a great link to a shoulder article on t-nation the other day, which includes some flexibility tests: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5956533&postcount=1876
 
It's good to be back in the gym. IP and I started with week 2 of the program we were doing when we left. So, here are the numbers. All are for 5 reps. :)

Squat: 170/210/255/295/338 - I finally went outside the squat rack on this one. I continue to have trouble because I go low enough to hit the non-adjustable spotting pins. So, I just stepped all the way out of the safety bars and went all the way down.

Bench: 125/155/185/215/245 - all easy

Power cleans: 95/125/150/175/205 - The last set got tough. I decided to do my very last rep of 205 into a full clean. That is SO much easier!

Overall, I'm happy with the workout, especially with the squats. I can't go any lower, and it was actually easier than continuing to hit the spotting pins. :arty:
 
Wow... I'm not even sure what to say. I might actually be speechless on this one.

Hmmm..... I WILL say that IP, having come from a national level figure skating background, can pretty much embarrass the average male population when it comes to working out. The girl can run, lift, and do anything else physically challenging and not only excel, but recover faster than anyone I know. IP ROCKS!

And she is definitely good motivation to run... ;)
 
And for today's workout! :) Everything was done for sets of 5. I was VERY sore going into this and anticipate that this evening will be nasty. We'll see...

Overhead squat: 105/125/145/166 - Everything was easy. I'll blow past my 5RM in week 4

Push Press: 95/115/135/148 - Again, all easy. :)

Deadlift: 225/265/315/355 - It was SO nice to pull again. I let one down wrong and bloodied my shin, but that's all good. I was fairly tired at the end, but I always seem to be able to keep pulling more as the weeks go by.

Good news: I'm down to 203. I think I look leaner, and I don't feel fat, anymore. I'm NOT lean, by any means, but I sure as heck feel better. IP and I have been eating very strictly, and it has made a difference. I'm averaging 2700 calories per day now, instead of 3400. I'll have some pics up again in a few days.
 
One more bit of good news I forgot to mention earlier. I am able to take my post workout shakes again. I guess the vacation and different food did my system some good. I went ahead and got some Protein Factory personal combo, though, to keep more variety than what I was currently allowing. Hopefully, it will work!
 
BOO!


;)



Oh, I'm watching, don't you worry, LOL

Must admit, I don't remember your PR weight for overheads. It was awesome to watch though.

Awesome! Glad you're here! :)

Look out, for sure...she's been training hard, and you're hurt (sucks). I'd say you're in trouble. :evil: ;) :lmao:
 
Hello, all, and good morning/afternoon/evening! :)

Today's workout was another cardio day. We did our usual 10 "sprints" today (20 seconds, followed by 40 seconds rest). The cool thing about today is that IP and I finally got all 10 of them in a row, without having to rest. At first, we had to rest after 6, and then 7, and then 8, but this time we did all 10 in a row. After that, we rested 2 minutes and finished with jogging for 5.

We also did Needsize abs with the posterior pelvic tilt emphasis. It really makes a difference!

This morning, I was also down one notch on the belt. It's not the lowest it's ever been, but it's getting there! :arty:

:D I am now officially "safe"! LOL! :lmao:

IP will never have anything to worry about. She's more than I could have ever imagined. :) :loveyou:
 
Congrats on wasting away at the waist.

:rose: More congrats to you both for having found one another. :rose:

Now, unless this thread firms up a little from here on out, I'm taking a sabbatical. ;)

Today's workout:

We have a third person working with us, so we didn't do the backoff sets today. Time is just too restrictive. In an effort to rejuvenate my testosterone-filled journal for blut_wump, I also recorded the triple on squat, and I'm working on finding a place to host the file. I'll be back with a link later. Otherwise, all but the last set was with 5 reps. Last set on each exercise is a triple.

Squat: 170/215/255/295/345 - no problem :)

Bench Press: 125/155/185/215/253 - easy stuff :)

Power Clean: 105/125/155*(did as snatches for the heck of it)/175/205 - no problem. Considered jerking it...not yet.

Great workout. Mixed on the third workout partner. Great guy and has improved a ton, but it's cutting into IP's and my workout. Oh, well. Not doing the backoff sets isn't going to hurt us or anything. :)
