    Training past:

    Former endurance athlete thats always mixed in strength work on the side. Recently decided to quick fucking around with cycling and get serious with strength training. I just did 3 cycles of 5/3/1 focusing on correcting some muscle imbalances now Im going to get the most out of linear progession that I can.

    Im a Firefighter in the City of Toronto so I have a very different work schedule then most, hence the "Im Not Doing The Program" title. I work 7 24hr shifts a month, so I cant follow a mon, weds, thurs program.

    What I will be doing is:

    -3 non consecutive workouts (A,B,A) or (B,A,B) per week.

    -Resting two days with lots of stretching

    -Including 2 short GPP sessions per week. I competed in Firefighter combat challenges last year and will be doing one in September again only for fun this this time.

    -Eating a litteral fuck ton of food, babys and drinking my milk.

    So tag along if you want. Ill throw up some pics of meals and other things that are pretty amusing.

    Cheers!

    And here are some vids of my Squat/Deadlift. Fucking tool walked right behind me on my DL workset. Also had to deal with some bimbo doing mad curls on that bosu ball IN THE SQUAT RACK? I guess when you need to get close to a mirror, doing sjit in the rack is your best option. I need to move to Texas and train lol.

    Squat (175x5):



    Deadlift (210x5):




    Please Critique the shit out of them. Cheers!

    Hi Smoke,
    take this with a grain of salt, I'm not really an expert. But here it goes.

    You keep your elbows a bit bent on the DL, it's better to lock them. (see SS page 139) And maybe you should raise your hips a bit higher. for me your start position is a bit too squat like. And the weight seems much to light for you to use an alternate grip.

    Your squat seems very good to me. your knees don't cave in at the bottom. I'm jealous of your form.

    P.S. Thanks for being a firefighter. You guys rule.
    P.S.S. If looks could kill that guy would be dropping dead the second time he walked behind you.

    Thanks for the advice. Ive been having some wrist issues with riding my motorcycle, so I definatly think my bent arms during the DL could be contributing to it. Plus the fact that I ride a crotch rocket doesnt help!

    Hopefully with this PT job i can save enough cash to buy a home gym with bumper plates/etc. Im tired of meatwhistles like that guy at my gym.

    Hey man,
    FF out of St. Augustine here, IAFF L3865. Good to have you on board.

    Your squats looked nice and clean, however you take an awfully long time to start squatting once you've unracked the bar. It's not so much an issue at lighter weights as it is when things get heavy.

    I second the comment about bending your elbows during the DL, you will be asking for a bicep tear with the supinated arm once it gets heavy enough. Try to go double overhand until it fails, then switch to mixed grip. What helped me keep my arms straight at first was concentrating on locking out my elbows, once this becomes ingrained it will be second nature and never be a major issue again.

    Good luck!

    -Hat
