    495x1 435x2 hit a wall didn’t grind just shut it down on the third rep and went home.we will call that a fatigue stop and repeat the weight on next heavy deadlift in the rotation.


    Wendesday 11 March 2020

    Press

    185x1. 160x6

    Chins 7,7,7,6,5

    Camber bar 2ct pause squat no belt

    Barx5,135x5,225x5,275x5. Who knows just using nominal assumption of 45 pound bar.

    Pulldowns machine big yellow hammer strength plate loaded POS 180x10,6

    Liked the camber bar that was intersting and strangely difficult probably due to unique forward shift in weight.

    I think most cambered bars are heavier than normal but there are so many brands who knows. Nice deadlifts!

    Back in the garage gym days, what did you do for squats/general legs accessories if anything? I’m having a hard time finding things to do on squat days besides...more squats. I miss having a leg extension/leg curl/GHR/etc.

    Fundamentally just squat more(frequently or more)I would throw in a light accessory squat like front squats or bbl lunges, or step ups after a short break broken up by another movement,for example I liked
    Primary squat
    Pressing movement
    Accessory squat

    Or if I was doing a upper lower split Just taper the specificity down for 2-3 movements.
    Back squat sets of 3-5
    Front squat triples
    Lunges-sets of 10
    Bw Hindu squats for sets of 15-20
    (Matter of fact I think these beat the leg extension machine to death.)
    100 Hindu after the regular squats to target the quads for extra volume 3 times a week. What Are Hindu Squats and How To Do Them Properly | Ask Muscle

    For the hamstrings I just add in extra RDLS and SLDL work. Sometimes you have to be careful with loading.

    Social distancing , more conditioning and more athletic calisthenics and some weight vest stuff..haven’t felt like logging any but probably should to track progression this may go longer than I’d like.

    Oh wow so everyone wants weighs and plates for the apocalypse, but I will take this as a probably needed break from specificity.

    Been making due with an empty bar, weight vest clean and pressing sometimes throwing logs and rocks. Big limestone pieces people getting a pool so I found some monsters they excavated.
    Goodnews is I had a minor back tweek and haven’t been able to reaggravate it. When I get back to loads I will just have to LP for a while but at least I won’t lose my work capacity. I am working on distance for big rock throws and how many handstand pushups I can do or pushups with a 50# vest on. I can do this kind of stuff daily so it’s a respite from working at home and not going anywhere.

    Bryan, I have not logged in here for a couple of years, but was great to see you are still there putting in the work!

    Walter, Not as much since March! But I did get healed up.

    I haven’t been logging in or posting a log. Still keep records but I am trying to simplify my complex life and this is one less source of distracting social media to keep up with.
    I think I have officially given up the bench press as a primary movement. My shoulder is much better.
    Keeping the press and the deadlift as primaries and using the bench and squat variations as drivers. I will probably rebuild a garage gym this coming year.

    Hey Barry just logged in good to see you dropped by.
    I am going to begin to train again. Been a lot of ups and downs and life changes. Doing hard things physically sharpens me mentally and I need all the help.
