Lord Humongous training log: Humongous T-transformation log

IMG_1586

This thread is going to be a random mixture of Spuds Mackenzie and squatting 4x a week, and will eventually be my t-ransformation log. After following programs for a long time I’m changing my approach for a while and pretty much just going in and doing whatever I want, which, for right now, is lots of squatting (back, front, occasional leg press) and some kind pressing every workout, assistance work fills in the gaps.

Gotta go to work today, so no gym. I’m following the 5/2 for fat loss diet and will be doing a fast day. I’m doing two 600 cal meals instead of 400 so I can use it as another variable to cut back later on to keep progress moving

Congrats on the PR man. Keep it up.

Hey man, thanks

No gym yesterday, today, or tomorrow. Spent yesterday with the family and am going in to work a 48 hr shift. Back at it Wednesday. Will probably just do some push ups and sit ups while at work

Back at it again today. Feeling like crap after a 48 hr shift and have a little tweak in my mid-back, but my right knee feels a lot better from the few days off squats. It hasn’t been hurting, I’m just pretty sure my patellar tendon isn’t tracking right. For a few months there’s been lots of creaking and popping when I walk and I. Am feel it clicking over another tendon behind my knee cap. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

BOOOOOOOM

11/15/17

Back squats:
135x10
185x5
225x5
275x1
315x1
335x1
355x1
365x1
385x1
395x1
405x1 !!! @9.5 (20lb all time PR with no wraps)

Thought I was gonna have a light session, but I just felt it and couldn’t pass up a great day. 385 went up like butter. 395 felt a little shaky, but I knew I could dial it in and get more. 405 piece of cake, hit depth and felt like I could have put another 5-10lbs up. This was originally my goal for end of January, so now I have to reassess. Might see how close my wrapped squat is to 455 and attack that. Or a 315lb front squat. Decisions decision…

185x5

155x3

Military Press: 95x3x10,10,12(amrap)
SS w/
T-bar rows: 2 plates x3x12,12, 20(amrap)

Nothing felt super great today, but nothing felt shitty either. Guess I canf complain that my pressing has been stable and my rowing has actually improved considering the shit tone of training resources I’ve put into squatting lately. Now that I added like 30 lbs to my squat in a damn month I think I’ll let up on the throttle a little. Still try to squat most workouts, but keep the intensity down and stop pushing for huge PRs every single workout. Might try to see how long it takes me to finally hit three plates on bench since that’s one of the last milestones Ive set for myself that I haven’t been able to accomplish yet (5 plate DL, 4 plate squat, 3 plate bench, 2 plate push Press and incline) I’m a lot closer to a 3 plate bench than a 5 plate deadlift so I think that’s my target lol. Everything else is checked off
