    Trying to stimulate some deadlift growth, seems like it's getting harder and harder to stay on top of the reps and my squat is catching up fast.

    SS NLP Week 15

    Sun12/20/20

    SQUAT 370# x5x3

    BENCH 300# x5x3

    DEADLIFT 405#x5 straps
    340# x5 hook grip

    New belt!! 4" Dual ply, although mixed with my lard belly it's not very helpful with the deadlift

    12/22/20 TUE

    SQUAT 375# x5x3

    PRESS 192.5# x5x3

    not recovered from heavy squat/deads held off on the back work.


    Finishing the year with some heavy singles and changing some goals to fat loss

    12/25/20 FRI Xmas!!

    Squat light 300# x5x3

    DEADLIFT 410#x1 hook grip and belt
    410#x 1 hook grip no belt
    410# x3 straps no belt

    Stopping LP. My belt and pants are uncomfortably toght. If I go up a pants size I'll be back to my fattest pants ever ...so NO!

    At some point this week I weighed my fat ass because I have not been shrinking (wasn't really trying) estimated myself at a thick 320#. nope I'm a fat 352# gross[emoji1785]. I did even bother with the scale during this LP, I may have gained weight. My butt and thighs are for sure bigger.

    On a logistics note I can't afford to get new clothes, new uniforms, class A's, pant belt gun belt and all that BS and REALLY I shouldn't be this fat. I've made some decent progress and I'm not as disgusted with my lack of strength as I was in August.

    Bonus week 16
    Just gonna plug away at some numbers and see what happens. Will re program after new years

    12/28/20 MON

    BENCH 315# x5x3

    Press light 154# x5x3

    Shit! I was hoping for triples, but Fahves just went up. Down side is I braced my neck too hard into the bench and tweaked it

    12/29/20 TUE

    SQUAT 340# x5x5

    Rack pull 500#x1,1,1, 0, 0

    Lat pulldown 180#x 5,8,8

    Rack pull 2" below knee. 1st single I managed a hook grip So that's cool. 2nd and 3rd with straps. 4th and 5th attempts were stapled didn't budge.

    So my theory was my fat gut/thigh combo might be keeping my back from getting into full extension and the belt makes it worse. I know I should be able to rack pull a ton more than my DL but these flew off the rack. Well until they didn't.

    Gonna have to put some thought into my DL set up and get some form checks, I should be deadlifting 500# by now.

    12/31/20 THURS Happy new year!

    PRESS 225#x3 almost to a lifetime PR!!
    195# x5x2

    starting strength coach development program
    We'll call this the end for now

    Age 36, 5'10, 350#
    SQUAT 245# x5x3 --> 375# x5x3
    PRESS 135# x5x3 --> 192.5# x5x3
    DEAD 275# x5x3 --> 410# x3
    BENCH 215#x5x3 --> 315# x5x3

    I did not power clean because I cannot get the rack position right now and they just look like dog poo. I was going to start snatching but my Deadlift started tanking on me and I wasn't going to go down to deadlifting any less frequently until I get that sorted out.

    A big Thank you to our glorious california leader Newsom for shutting down any SSCs within driving distance That would accept new clients.
    I'll be looking for some vacation days and a hotel room to nearest SSC when time allows


    So planning my new programing

    I'm thinking 4 day split with a heavy/light upper/lower split. LP numbers for heavy lift and a lighter lift at 80% of last week's heavy. Then add some conditioning

    I.e.

    Mon PRESS, bench 80%, heavy bag
    Tues SQUAT, deadlift 80%, echo bike
    Wed off
    THUR BENCH, press 80%, heavy bag
    FRI DEADLIFT, squat 80%, echo bike
    Sat
    Sun LSD - walk the dogs with a rucksack

    Heavy bag and ruck marches would also fall under sports specific conditioning ala 2 factor model, as I backpack hunt and box


    Counting calories, cleaning up meal prep to
    around 3000 cals a day. Aiming for 40/40/20%
    Prot/carb/fat .

    Found out my average daily intake was about 100g short of protein and too much fat, surprise surprise.

    No change to pants this week... tamales and booze and all that holiday jazz. Will start calorie restriction in ernest next week after I stock up on some steaks and veggies...

    Will start new log in general logs for this.
