Jonathan, Pingu and PrinceVegeta: Thanks a lot, guys. Much appreciated and I apologize if I haven't gotten round to your journals as yet. I'll catch up on them this weekend! Have a fun Friday!!!

Good session

Will it be 2x squat a week, and 1x DL or how is your FB looking?

Wassup, Xiva??

What does FB stand for? FaceBook?

Right now, here's how it's gonna happen:

Thursday = Deadlift Training = Deadlifts + Pistol Squats + Core Training

Friday = Back Training = Weighted Pull-ups, Dumbbell Rows, Cable Rows, Facepulls and Core Training

Sunday = Squat Training = Front Squats Heavy Day, Grip Training and Metabolic Conditioning

Monday = Full Body Training = Front Squats Light (Recovery) Day, Pressing work for 5-10 total sets, Bodyweight pull-ups and Tricep Training

Thats how its looking right now and how it's gonna be for the next few months. I might switch out some variants now and then but on the whole, this is it. Does that answer your question, brosky?

Deadlift Training
Mesocycle 18 - Week 4​

Beginning Thoughts:

The world famous comedian Maz Jobrani had come to my University tonight for a show and I decided to attend it. It was hilarious!!!​

Workout:

Deadlifts:​

420 lbs x 2 reps​

430 lbs x 2 reps​

430 lbs x 5 reps​

Several things to note here. First off: my grip failed. The 430x2 set involved me holding the bar right from the get go using just my fingers. My thumbs just deserted me. My form was naturally hideous. So basically, my grip was an over/under hook grip. WTF??? I was prepared for this on my last set and therefore I think my form was WAY better on the 430x5 set. It could've been better but my grip failed me. I know why this is though: sometimes when you do lots of grip training, your body needs time to adjust to it - like a lag period. So hopefully in the next few weeks my grip won't slip away from me. ​

​

Pistol Squats:​

3 + 3 = 6 reps​

I haven't done these in such a long time!!! I am gad I've been able to move my schedule around and fit them in. I will get better at them shortly. I want to hit 15 reps straight. ​

​

Swiss Ball Jackknife Pikes:​

BW x 10 reps x 2 sets​

​

Hand Extensions:​

2 bands x 10 reps x 3 sets​

Videos:

Deadlifts:​

​

My boy Paul Roa hit a 405 Deadlift for 2 as well!!!​

​

Overall Impression:

Gonna go see Valentine's Day tomorrow with the gf and then Shutter Island on Saturday. I also have a shitload of studying to do this weekend...With this being the last semester at school and the shitty condition of the job market I am becoming lesser and lesser motivated to excel at school. But, I know my hard work will pay off somewhere down the line. I hope.​

​

Have a fun Friday everyone and thanks for dropping by!!! ​

LAWL....They're not strict: they just don't have torso rotation because then it defeats the purpose.

Dance like a teenager? I haven't heard that phrase in a loooong time...I like it!

 

[jonathan]

solid rows

Squat Training
Mesocycle 18 - Week 4​

Beginning Thoughts:

This is last night's workout. I had an exam today on "Religions in the US"...I am glad I took this elective. Very informative and it's damn interesting to learn about how the United States came about to being. I remember studying a very brief version of this in like 5th grade. Now I learning about it in-depth and I think it's one of my two favorite courses this semester.​

Workout:

Front Squats:​

275 lbs x 1 rep @ 97.5%​

245 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets @ 87.5%+​

275 lbs x 1 rep @ 97.5%​

Decent. I did an extra set at the end with 275 for myself. ​

​

Metabolic Conditioning for 1 round:​

Kettlebell Swings = 65 lbs x 15 reps​

Renegade Rows = 45 lbs x 7 reps​

Unilateral RDLs = 65 lbs x 12 reps​

Dumbbell Windmills = 30 lbs x 10 reps​

This is a kinda low volume week so only one round. I tried Kettlebell Swings for the first time and I don't think I did them right. I should've used a lighter weight but I do think that some of the reps were clean - just not most. ​

​

Grip Training:​

Regular Walmart Gripper for few sets and reps as a warm-up​

Heavy Grips 150 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets​

CoC #1 x 2 reps​

Heavy Grips 150 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets​

Videos:

Front Squats & Metabolic Conditioning:​

​

​

My boy Paul Roa hit a bench press of 305x1 and 320x1:​

​

Overall Impression:

My friend Paul Roa hit some awesome numbers on his bench yesterday. He's hovering around 220-225 lbs and he managed to nail a 305 and 320 bench!​

​

I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I went and saw Valentine's Day. It was good....similar to He's Just Not That Into You. I liked it. Decent chick flick.​

​

I saw the trailer for Brooklyn's Finest. Man...I'm pumped. I've always wanted to be a cop. If I make a billion dollars before I'm 30, I'm gonna go to police academy. It's a very honorable job inspite of all the shit it gets, IMO.​

​

Anyway, I hope y'all are having a fun Monday. Have a good week ahead guys and gals! ​
