Starting a log, training like a madman to work out my anger!

Weds.

Started with 100 pullups.

Next back day I'm going to do less pullups. After 100 pullups I think I had trouble getting the best muscle contractions and my weights were lowered like 30 lbs or more. I'm less concerned about weight but I felt like it fatigues the lats so much that it's hard to attain proper form no matter how light I might go.

Im gonna play around with when I do the pullups next time. I wanna be able to hit the 5x5 barbell row fresh so I can really focus on getting perfect form since I'm kinda weak on that exercise. I do it almost at a 90 degree angle, torso almost parallel to the ground like in a deadlift position, and I make sure nothing moves but my arms. I see so many people swing into their barbell rows I wanna make sure I dont do that.


100 pullups (3 sets wide, 4 close reverse grip, 3 hammer grip meduim)

Barbell Row: 115 x 5 / 115 x 5 / 95 x 5 / 95 x 5 / 95 x 5 / 95 x 5 / 95 x 5 ( I really focused on the contraction and absolute PERFECT form, nothing was moving but the arms straight back, all in the lats)
Lat Pulldown: 120 x 10 / 120 x 8 / 115 x 8 / 110 x 8
Hammer Hrip Medium width Lat Pulldown: 130 x 8 / 120 x 8 / 115 x 8 / 115 x 8
Reverse Grip Lat Pulldown: 130 x 8 / 120 x 8 / 120 x 8 / 120 x 8
Row Wide grip: 180 x 8 / 160 x 10 / 160 x 10
Row Close Grip hammer: 200 x 8 / 180 x 8 / 170 x 10
Lat Pushdown: 37.5 x 12 / 42.5 x 8 / 40 x 8 / 40 x 8
T-bar row: 70 x 5 / 55 x 8 / 50 x 8 / 45 x 8 / 45 x 8 / 45 x 8

Ran 1 mile in like 5:52 or something

I feel like the letro lately has really been impeding my gains. Since I'm havin surgery and cant do a cycle Im gonna run letro for another fuckin month though. The lumps in my nips kinda hurt, they're still pea sized though and I want them fuckin gone. It's hardly noticable, I dont have man boobs or anything like that but my nips kinda poke out sometimes :\

Idk why they started feeling tender again recently and almost look like they got a little worse, still nobody has noticed it though thank god. Letro sucks my friends! :P
 
Less than perfect form has its place.

Also, you ever consider running 5/3/1 Jim Wendler style plus bodybuilding assistance work?

Your military press is low for your weight(not bashing)

5/3/1
Squat-quad work
Military press- shoulder work
Power clean-hamstring work
Bench-chest work
Plus a back/bi day

It'll force you to take a day off once a week at least
 
Yeah I know my military press is low. I used to never work shoulders dude maybe only been working them for like 5-6 months. I know you aren't bashing man no sweat!

5/3/1 is that the number of reps? I'm always willing to try new stuff bro

As long as I can stay in the gym for like 3 hours sometimes :P I need the escape.
 
Hey bro, one thing for sure is getting smashed and hungover is no good for Estrogen levels, as your body is re- hydrating after the alcohol dehydration its probably storing water kind of like a rebound effect. Give it a few days and you will probably feel the letro working again on the nips.

Read this... It has helped my barbell row tremendously and I don't really believe in doing it any other way.

Also, work hard on that military press,
The More I do it lately the wider my appearance is becoming. I feel like it should be a staple for everyone. Big strong shoulders make all upper body exercises easier and also really add to the wide v taper look. It also gives that athletic look even when wearing t shirts and sweaters that state.. Yeah I lift :P keep up the good work , you know we will be pushing you post surgery , that's what we are here for man!



Ride it like you stole it!!
 
Rus I didn't know that about alcohol and estrogen levels but that definately explains what I experienced. I'll check out that article too brother. Haha man you've been so fuckin helpful throughout this log you have no idea, so glad to have you and everyone else following.

I'm going to start doing military press / dumbell shoulder press / OHP one of those now twice a week and see what that does for a while, I'll start with that today probably.

Yesterday I fuckin killed it man.

There's these cocky ass personal trainers that I can't stand because one of them told me I couldn't bring colored water in the gym and that fucker drinks it all the time when he works out. They were doing some crossfit style workout looking thing with like 225 15 times back squat and the cockiest one, the guy that bitched about my water, he was getting fuckin smoked and whining through the whole thing. He's got big arms and is kinda strong but he was squatting like maybe 75 degrees and taking long ass breaks etc.

I know I'm not stronger than him but my little grudge against him made me push myself harder just to assert than I could dominate them both mentally. So after I was fucking smoked I did 3 sets of 135 x 20 back squats. After lifting as heavy as I could like to the point where I failed on a few sets and dropped onto the spotter pins, 135 x 20 was pure hell, complete torment haha. Hey man If I can use this grudge I have against that asswipe to ush myself harder that works for me :P

Made a PR on back squats with 245 x 3, 240 used to be my 1 rep max :)

Squats: 135 x 10 / 225 x 3 / 235 x 3 / 245 x 3/ 240 x 3 / 240 x 3 / 240 x 3 / 240 x 2 (Dropped it on 3 )
Deadlift: 225 x 5 / 315 x 3 / 335 x 3 / 355 x 3 / 355 x 3 / 350 x 3 / 345 x 3 / 340 x 3
Front Squat: 165 x 3 / 170 x 3 / 170 x 3 / 170 x 3 / 165 x 3 / 160 x 3 / 160 x 3 / 160 x 3
Stiff leg Deadlift: 295 x 3 / 305 x 3 / 305 x 3 / 300 x 3 / 300 x 3 / 295 x 3

I can't tell you guys how tough these 20 rep squats were especially on set 3, that was all mental. Legs were beyond being on fire haha. After lifting so heavy for an hour or whatever it was I was already smoked. Normally I could get over 135 like 30 times but man I was grinding away at the reps like 1 rep at a time on that last set holy shit.

Squats: 135 x 20 / 135 x 20 / 135 x 20

Hack Squat: 220 x 3 / 220 x 3 / 220 x 3 / 220 x 3 / 220 x 3

Awesome workout!
 
Haha and I love the guys that come in and load the bar up and squat like 3 inches. I watched a guy load up the bar with 405 and I was thinking no way can this barrel chested chicken legged monkey can squat this... He does like 4 reps 4 inches down and up then racked it with a grunt and walks around chest out ... I just stared at him blankly and proceeded to squat a legitimate ass to grass 275 for 5 just to make sure he knew in his heart he was not all that.
