lmao! is this the geek friend thats your training bitch? Do you make him go fetch 45's for you? lol

Urm shoulder is a bit better, gets better everyday and I hurt it everyday, usually just knock it whilst on my bike or at school I'll have not moved it for a while then go to put my hand up to answer a question and suddenly moved it after its been stiff for a while... The pain has kind of moved though, now it hurts to bring my shoulder forward rather than pull it round as in like a flye movement, not it would hurt doing front raises for example. Does that make sense?

I've been wanting for you to join me for some workouts and get you to fetch 35's or 25's maybe after that you can graduate and when you come to US be able to fetch 45's for me :supercool:p

NARROW GRIP BENCH

INCLINED BENCH

2x8 145lbs

Trying to get away from low reps for a bit and build up, this is actually Ed Coan bench press routine with some bitch ass weights though :)

I ate too much before going to the gym and felt kinda unconfortable so I stopped here, well just did some work on a kickboxing bag, punches, elbows,clinch, knees and kicks, that's it.

Can I just fetch u drinks? I think 25lb plates might be a bit too much strain on my joints and may stunt my growth, sorry
 
I've been making it a point to mix up my grips every time I bench lately. Normal, narrow, and extra wide. An old PL idea I never really gave a fair try. I dunno but it seems helpful now someway, like the sum of the parts increasing the value of the whole. It also makes me feel more comfortable under the bar.

This could help get those numbers up. From what I gather EM turns into a slackard unless you give him a fair day's work.:theshadow
 
Haha EM is a funny baby brother!

Yeah about mixing grips, I've really noticed stimulus to other areas, like forearms, tris and shoulders, through these changes I can pinpoint my weaknesses and right now it's the lockout, on my last reps I do really have hard time locking it. Some extra tris work? Or maybe wait a bit if my body adjust to the "novelty", I'm inclined to think so...

I don't care how much I weigh as long as BF doesn't go over 12-15%.
 
hey bro, could you explain to whats the differce between a normal deadlift, and a deflict deadlift? I've seen this in your log, and when EM posted a video of himself. I just couldnt see the difference really..

A deficit deadlift means you are standing on an elevated platform, increasing the ROM. You use a lower weight. It requires more hamstring flexibility to prevent back rounding

See this article for eg TMUSCLE.com | Dissecting The Deadlift

(snatch deficit deadlift)

Yep that's exactly what Desmond said.

@ Desmond

What's up bro?
 
Hey Saibot:

Well my training has been affected this year. Felt extraordnarily shitty end of last year and this year after several years of generally poor health. I discovered my testosterone was 3% of normal levels. The doctors have been quite slow in treating this - the transdermals haven't really worked, so now its 25% of normal. I'm hoping I go on permanent injections soon (see my doctor in a week).

Kinda frustrating. For whatever it reason my DHEA also is super low and the doctor has said he will test for cortisol and other hormonal parameters, so I should at least soon get a better picture of what's going on. My first endo just fucked me around and didn't believe my test results (despite it being repeated 2 times) simply because I look normal.

I'm hoping once this is all fixed the gains will be good. i have made some this year, but its been slow going since Nov 2008.

Once this is all fixed I will make another Omega bash, but ATM with the low T fatigue i prefer longer rest breaks and lower reps. I seem to be slowly still making a bit of progress like this, although recovery is not the best.

I'm interested to see how strong I become with normal T too, as whilst I'm not super strong, I'm hardly weak for my bodyweight.

Yeah i also realise that the goals I've set to myself aren't going to be easy, just have to keep my eyes on it, the only thing that bothers me is a possible injury other than that I don't think i'll stall that fast.

Our goals aren't that different, in fact I think I wanna go for 405lbs squats instead, focus also on overhead squats, front squats and Zercher squats on tuesdays and save myself for the deadlift.

I also wanna be able to do 225lbs bench for 20 reps, that's an old thought I have on my mind :supercool

Yeah bro I remember you told me about it, @ the time I thought things were getting solve, but no... if that's really the problem the test injections will help, if not I don't really know.

You got some really weird shit going on with you, hope you and your docs get to the root of the problem bro, i really do.

I've the Omega pamphlet and i 'm following is diet there currently, started today :supercool i did some of the workouts and i like but it doesn't match my weightlifting goals for now...

Yeah you current idea of low reps and rests makes peerfect sense to me, you'll make some good gains through neural adaptation at least strength wise. Your quite strong now, when your test gets to normal I can only imagine how much will you be able to increase your poundages :evil:

Good luck!

I'm 27 since last friday, 5 10 and 200lbs, used to be an ecto though.

My back is not hurt yet lol, but I do feel some pressure inside my ribs when deadlifting, working on it by doing some more ab work

Thanks, hopefully 6x225lbs tomorrow.

I used to do zerchers all the time when training at home. Buy some long bandages and wrap them around your elbows where the bar is gonna rest, it helps alot and stops you getting scratches and bruises from the knurling

Having a "congrats on new PR" icon on my browser would save me from having to type this out again.

Congratulations anyway, though. :biggrin:

I like Zerchers but have a hard time tearing myself away from conventional squats. Recently I came across the idea of doing them explosively for 12-15 reps as an ab exercise. Lower body has been:
Front Squat
Hamstring
Zercher
etc.
for 3 weeks now and it's been all good. Feels I'm really getting the bang for my buck. Also no forearm problems this way.

Haha thanks bro. Yeah doing Zerchers too for increasing my core/abs strength and stability (Scots recommended it to me). But no way I'm losing back squats :supercool @ least no yet haha

Those exercises are you doing them as a circuit or a normal set up?

I wanna try this thing like a triset all done with front squats max weight for 3 reps when I'm ready for it:

A1 Front squats 1x3
A2 Back squats 1xfailure
A3 Zercher Squats 1xfailure

I had my girlfriend doing something like it with higher reps, she almost passed out and i wasn't trying to be mean to her ;)
 
As a normal set up though circuit would be good also. I'll file that idea away for when needed.

It's a good mix. You get an added compound exercise. Really makes you feel you've done lower body in true concept instead of just 'legs/lower back throw in some abs'.

Lately maybe because i'm on cycle it has been my biceps too. But it usually is quads, last few weeks i've been noticing some nice separation and as you can see by my log i work legs with extreme low reps.

What would be a typical bis routine for you?

i have to train them hard bro..they used to be my lagging part..now there growing non stop.


That's alot of work, there was a time i was doing 27 sets for bis and 27 for tris , though i loved the feeling afterward i was also working as a waiter and had to carry alot of plates around throughout the day so i couldn't handle it, it was just too much and my line of work didn't allow them to recover. But now that things are different (because i have more recovery time) and since you mentioned your high volume perspective, i think i'm gonna hit it hard again, the way i used to :supercool
 
haha you should bro..they just explode every week!

lol, my bi's are my smallest bodypart, their 14 inch it annoys me so much, im beginning to think its because i never really trained them much, now I do 4 sets of incline db curls monday and friday and i consider this alot of arm work... maybe somethin needs to change, everything else grows but my bi's stay small and grow soooo slowlyyyy :mad:
 
Dunno why, but my bis got big when I did a lot of sets also: 16-18, sometimes more, if I remember correctly.

I only train them occaisionally now, but I know if I wanted to I could blow them up in a short period of time by piling on the work.
 
haha do some before and afters of your bi's and do the routine for like 2-3 weeks and im pretty sure you'll see change!
 
Ok so just like i said i would....

It felt great, i did it before going to bed because i work at nights so i went to the gym like 6:30 in the morning and few hours after going to bed i woke and they were kinda cramping :evil:

Right now they are sore and a bit swolen, which i like alot :supercool gonna do it once a week, maybe mix it up with exercises but keeping the high volume, i will keep track of the barbell curl though and try to use the most weight possible with strict form. Thanks bro.

Hey bro. I like your workouts. Do you plan every exercises you are going to do in advance or do you pick different exercices for the bodyparts you are working by feeling once you are in the gym?

Also could you please pm me some ideas for a workout plan? Ive heard you use some Charles Poliquin principles and i would be interested in trying it.

Hi! Yeah i always make a plan, it saves you alot of time and maximizes gains. Sometimes i play around with assistance exercises though, to add variety and specially to "kill" a specific bodypart.

Yeah i'll send you a pm, just tell me your goals, stats and how many times a week you can workout.
