That’s a serious goal Nutty, yes for someone competitive it’s not big numbers… but for the vast majority of people it is. Even on this site.
Really serious shit you’re aiming at.
That is a stupid amount of reps with a stupid amount of weight. Have I told you that I hate high rep DL
It’s easy - on a smart phone, press your thumb/finger against the screen on a word within the part you want to quote. After a moment, two blue dots, a gray box saying “Quote”, and a box with cut/copy options will appear. Move one blue dot to the beginning of what you want to quote and the other blue dot to the end of what you’re quoting. Then, press the gray Quote button. A reply from you will open with the quote in it.
Late to the party on this, but the thing about bringing up the floor rather than pushing at the ceiling was something I liked about 5/3/1 Beach Body (which is similar in some ways to Beefcake, with the 50 extra reps @ 80% on one lift per workout)
Sorry guys been MIA for over a month I think now. Life just got too busy to log. I finished up another cycle of BBB Beefcake and then I had to change it up. Life is just too busy right now and training is just there for me to stay healthy, strong, and release some stress. Just been doing a very simple A/B Full body 3x a week workout. It’s been going:
WORKOUT A
Back Squat
RDL
Chin-Ups
OH Press
Assistance
WORKOUT B
Deadlift
Front Squat
Rows
Bench Press
Assistance
I’m rotating between 4x8, 5x5, and 10x3 for my big lifts and giant/supersetting everything. Using the primary pattern template where every workout has a squat, hinge, pull, and push.
Yesterday workout was:
BACK SQUAT (ss: Chin-Ups - 5x10, Abs - 5x10) - less than 20 minutes
385x5
385x5
385x5
385x5
385x5
OH PRESS (ss: RDL - 5x5 @ 315, Face Pulls - 100) - less than 20 minutes
145x8
145x8
145x8
145x8
FRAME CARRY (ss: Dips - 1x50, Curls - 100) - less than 10 minutes
315 x 1 minute
315 x 1 minute
315 x 1 minute
I’ve been following your log for a while, haven’t commented (I don’t think), but unless my eyes deceived me, did this log get yet another name change in the 5 minutes I just spent catching up?
Not nutty, but I run all of my programs exactly the same way (push+pull+abs, squat/deadlift+hinge/jump+abs) and I tend to not focus on progression as much with the second movements. More about reps, quality, and feel. Somedays if I do pull ups as my pull, I’ll do them bodyweight for 10s or 12s or i’ll go weighted for fewer or something.
Pray to the iron gods before feeling the holy metal!
The reason I did this was because I got to the gym at 450AM today. The squat rack, bench press and chest supported machine are within 2 feet of each other and no one was there so I said fuck it lets giant set to make it out of here sooner lol.
This is great for change of pace, but I don’t think I could make this a thing at a commercial gym. If I had a home gym though, I know exactly how I want to train. Get 3 barbells, squat stand and the rest is history lol.
