i guess i have really not been pushing myself...
Today it was pooring so we stayed inside for gym and went to the weight room. There was 315 on the bar, so my friend and i took off 2 plates to make it 225. I decided i would give it a shot as i had already completed 200x6 and could maybe do 225 as a 1 or 2 RM. I also thought this might be a bit stupid because i haven't really lifted for a little over a month besides once, but i tried it.
And i got 6 times and could have done more!! I checked my form in the mirror while i was doing them to make sure my back wasn't rounding
I also clean/jerked 135 with good form (friend watching) but benched 135 once (wow i have dropped off a lot on that)
bro, be careful looking in the mirror doing deads... looking off to the side can cause a pinched nerve in the neck... nice pulling though... just try to keep your head up, and if youre worried about form, have a friend watch...

yeah i do look in the mirror during deads... thx though
i feel like with an over/under grip i can do a very considerable amount more- maybe to the point where it is too much- do you think i should go back to double overhand when i start lifting again?yeah i do look in the mirror during deads... thx though
lol how can it be "too much"

idk-- it does sound kind of weird lol. I just had pretty bad DOMS for the next 3-4 days in my hamstrings which carried over into soccer and there is no way that i can lift that with a double overhand grip.
Iv had DOMS in my hams for up to a week before

yeah but during soccer season, DOMS isn't ideal for me to have esp. since i've been out with a groin injury for a bit.
Anyways, i can't fucking wait to get back in the gym once soccer ends- i think i can avoid hitting the gym crowd at like 3:15-3:30 if i can get out of school with early dismissal instead of senior commons.
For my routine, i was thinking of getting my major lifts a little higher and maybe doing a program like rippetoes for a month, then starting a split, which would consist of
Tues: Triceps/Chest/Shoulders
Thurs: Legs
Sat:Back/Biceps
Sun: Triceps/Chest/Shoulders
then it would continue with something like;
Tues: Legs
Thurs: Back/Biceps
Sat: Triceps/Chest/Shoulders
Sun: Legs
so basically i'd be working out a different muscle group twice a week every 3 weeks and the others only once.
Maybe i should put shoulders with legs? I do like training chest with triceps and back with biceps so i want to keep that- not sure about shoulders though. I figured that you use some triceps with shoulders, so i could do it there or put it on my leg day. I have some exercises in mind, but what do you guys think of this as a base?
Thanks for any input!
