G ab wheel 3x12

notes
pulls suck strenf is there - left ham and knee are missing in this lift I got the shakes like Im pulling closer to 5 plates
sucks but where Im at.
could have warmed up more

snatch width eccentric- holy shit these suck ass.
reveals all dem ‘weaknesses’ used straps for these 5 reps lowering on a 5 count - I suck.

bb rows- just 2 quick sets -bicep and elbow not a fan

front squats- felt great I used to do these with pulls all the time and they still felt great - even though light as F.

chest supported row- I think I was doing these with 4 plates
a few years back. hmmm. I cant really pull hard after pulling
I should probably do a squat dead bench day each and a day or two when I can of accessory shit to support all of that.

this ‘bulk’ thing - 187 is alot of me- just showing the top four abs
usually I show more. mayb hit 190? and back it down?
Id say fuk it get to 200 but for what Id be pudgy

weekly training… sad but its when I can train

mobility - lunges TKE lunges disclocats some other prep at home

A prone ham curl 3x12
B Dead 135,225275 x5 315 4x5
B front squat 135x5 225 3x5
C bss 40 3x8
D sled drag/push 4 plates 10 trips
E ab wheel 3x12

notes
shitty weather knee sucks
pulled with a stiff bar- used straps in the 3rd set of 315
front squats - these didnt feel great
bss - huge pump should have went lighter and for volume
drag/push- backwards drag - push back
ab wheel - much easier then with a loaded barbell.
I still suk but its happening

This can make a big difference. We train with a texas power bar which is fairly stiff. I have a bigger pull in contest because even though IPF doesn’t us deadlifting bars, the competition bar (typically Eleiko) has enough additional flex to add weight. If I pull my opener in the gym it normally feels pretty tough but it flies at a meet.

F 10 min assault bike ride

notes
pulling sucks- where my left hamstring should be -
no leg drive- 405 - I got the shakes- no speed.
but I figured out some stuff- left ham and glute are weak

air humps- I did 225 for 20 and 315 for 8-10 on the regular
so… these need work.
ham and calf work - while needed - the two machines I used
put to much pressure on the knee- the single leg machine
your resting on one knee- and curling the other too much pressure on the graft/knee etc
seated calf machine -
I really need direct calf work-
but this machine rests the load right across the knee/VMO
not great for the knee either…

I think I need to do a SHIT TON of posterior chain work
more single leg stuff

notes
going to stick with work like this
joints do well with this kind of pump and fluff
upper back and hams
feeling those pulls from yesterday felt good to feel beat up.
sadly elbows felt it too.
this session is what I need to be doing- maybe add
some loaded dips heavier floor press/ bigger rows,
maybe some bigger pushpress- but this is what I need.
pump and fluff FTW

I think pump and fluff for old guys is more like required maintenance to keep looking good, and hopefully feeling ok.

The only “heavy” (by my average standards) lifting I do these days are deadlifts.

Good to see you still working hard at it.

Really good deadlifts. Nice pump and fluff too.

Thanks @hel320 and @punnyguy

Pump and fluff makes all the joints feel ok
And there is always trying to get that hyper trophy

Meadows rows made me feel swole

That’s interesting. I use hooks/straps for low weight/ higher volume but find I need to grip the bar to pull heavy.

I must have lost quite a bit of grip strength - I think the straps actually get in the way of pulling heavier… still playing with all this.

training yesterday- 5.22.15

got moving did what amounted to
a shit ton of face pulls BPA’s and
a bunch of machine rows x dips
wup bench 185 3x5 bleh
then more dips and more rows
12 x10 of dips and 12 x many machine rows

notes
I think I was just tired - bench was moving like crap so I canned it and just went back to dips
the machine row is like a seated stack type machine that also has the ability to grab different handles and do some rear delt crap- crap is what this session turned into.

training 5.23.18

mobility banded walks, lunges, banded lunges, floor work
more lunges leg swings
some broad jumps

A1 prone ham curl 5x10
A2 machine row thing 5x10

315 2x5 335 x2 365x2 315x5 245 x20
C db snatch 60 2x5 bleh should have done these first.
D 10x10 seated ham curl - eccentric reps
E ten minute assault bike

notes
prone ham curl and the seated row machine are next to each other - good way to start any squat or dead day.
who doesnt need more hamstring or more back-duh
squats- felt good 365 was def RPE 8 or so ugh
20 rep felt really good been digging these past few sessions
db snatch could have done these first - but Im always racing/fighting for racks.
a shit ton of seated ham curls - should have done something single leg
bike ride- just ten minutes

Nice! And a lot
