Thanks hog! It was a good feeling dropping back to the 40% DE work and feeling how much everythings improved. Especially the conditioning, first week doing EMOM I was dying and now it feels like nothing.
You got a 405 coming soon⊠I feel it.
Your confidence in me is definitely helping my motivation, appreciate the support man! Ill do it for you or die trying

Notes
- I think doing the superset emom sets with the squat is affecting my technique. Can tell its getting sloppy towards the end once I start rushing. In future, gonna do the supersets with deads instead and focus on the technique for squats.
- Liked the assistance lifts this time around, gonna be alternating box squats and regular front squats week to week.
- Lower back feeling super tight, gonna see how it is tomorrow morning. Side effect of the squat technique getting sloppy
INSPIRATIONAL SONG OF THE DAY
Ive noticed the same thing with my lifts. DE with multiple reps is not good for my technique. Maybe a :30 single for 1.5 times to get the reps and work form more.
Jeezz man these are badassâŠ
Looks very good
Yeah, I think I would be fine with the three reps if I cut out any super set work. Gives me some wiggle room to correct anything without having to worry about rushing every minute. However, I may give the :30 single a try, see which I like better.
Going off what you said about the squats, I was thinking of just increasing the band tension for deadlifts and doing singles or doubles. At least in the future, Ill just stick to the program as written for now.

- PRs across the board, decided to find out what my weighted chin-up PR is after being inspired by the thread.
- Still having some trouble with the lockout of overhead movings, gonna keep hammering triceps to help with it.
- Really like the BTN movement, hoping it will add some size to my shoulders to help build up strength as well.
INSPIRATIONAL SONG OF THE DAY
Woah nice
When OHP movements are going up there is good things instore for the bench. If nothing else you will be more stable.
Thanks Man!
True. I donât really care much for bench since I compete in strongman, but if I get it too 400 I may consider doing another powerlifting meet since o havenât in years.

Notes
- Felt Really good today, went in with the determination to get 500lbs for the main set and I got it dammit. Huge boost in motivation and determination.
- Was able to get up to 455lbs beltless and then threw it on for the rest of the squats.
- Was absolutely fried after the last squat, truly a max effort lift. Barely managed to get through the volume work.
- Dropped to 2x5 for the rollouts cause my core was struggling
- Upped the weight a bit on the leg press, always do a pretty narrow stance with them, slightly wider than deadlift.
- Back extensions felt good, helped relieve some stress from the squats.
INSPIRATIONAL SONG OF THE DAY
Nice!!
What to say⊠amazing job man! Nice work!
I havenât heard 36 Crazyfists in yearsâŠ
Thanks guys!
Yeah man, decided to throw on an old lifting playlist I made a few years back and this was the song that came on during my last squat. Safe to say it did the trick

Notes
- Decided to do Clean and Press instead of pressing with bands for the meantime with overhead. Bands never felt right no matter how I set it up, always felt like one side was getting worked more than the other.
- Once I buy a better set of bands Ill change it back, see if there is still an issue

1c. Stein(KB) Hold 3x25sec,32sec,24sec(25lbs)
Notes
- Felt alot better this week on the DE effort lifts for today
- Just doing the squats for the first group gave me enough time to make sure each set was perfect, speed got slightly better even set to set.
- Switched between high bar and low bar, half and half
- Just did singles on the deads, got perfect form and speed each set.
- Super set with KB swings cause there was alot of down time inbetween doing singles
- Remembered the Leg presses for time from my previous 5/3/1 strongman routine, so I added those in since I love/hate them so much.
- Stein hold is one of the events for my next comp and I suck at it so I figured Im gonna start working on it week to week. Comp Weight is 50lbs so by the end of this I am hoping to work up to at least 60lbs So I dont have to worry. Got a little over 2months so Im not worried.
