It has as much to do with yoga as I do with the prohibition of maryjane
That's an analogy I immediately understood....

Rubb a dub dub, im subbed in this tub.
Wave 1 Day 2
Bench
245 with 40lbs of chains
5 sets 7 reps 7RPE
Competition Squat with buffalo bar
465
1 set 3 reps 9RPE
10% fatigue drop
420
4 sets 3 reps
Bench with light band tension
185 + 80-100 band tension
3 sets 5 reps 8RPE till 9RPE
Really really liked the use of chains. Only used them once before but on floor press. Squats took me a bit to get into a good groove. I squatted on Monday and worked up to a 3 count paused squat at 405 for a double and that's the only squating I've done since the meet. The drop sets felt much more smooth. Was going to try wraps for the first time but I'm going to wait another month or so till I jump in those. I also benched on Monday and did 335 for 8 triples so I expect both of these numbers to increase in the coming weeks.

Wave 1 Day 3
Competition Squats with medium bands(buffalo bar)
235 + 220-280 band tension
1 set 3 reps 9 RPE
185 +220-280 band tension
3 sets 3 reps
Barbell Row
205
5 sets 7 reps
Close Grip
Push ups
3 sets AMRAP
first time using bands for squats and i can see why so many guys in my gym do them with bands. really force you to brace yourself and drive like crazy out of the hole. the top half of every lift is where i am weak, so all of this banded work is really going to help.
could have went heavier on BB rows as it was 7RPE till 9RPE and was able to finish without hitting my fatigue point. i cant remember how many CG push ups i got per set but i got a wicked pump/.

I've been thinking about incorporating some bands or chains on some of my squat work. I've been doing my box squats with wraps, but I think chains or bands would be better and easier than putting on wraps every set.

Wasn't feeling up to par but went in anyways. Monday woke up not feeling well at all so I pushed through this training. Woke up Tuesday feeling a ton better so I figured it was just the rapid change in weather. Woke up today feeling like shit. Hopefully I am better by the weekend to finish this training week. I'm not training sick again. I felt it did me more harm then good when I was sick 6 or so weeks ago.

I got that a couple weeks ago, flu bug is going around. Completely ruins training, even if the will is still there the body just aint gonna do what ya need it to.
How do you like the standing one arm dumbbell push presses? I was just talking to @Eman about these earlier and I was thinking of implementing them for a training cycle or two. Seems like it would work the core pretty good on top of everything else.
How is the buffalo bar? I bet it takes pressure off your shoulders.
That's badass. I want to start doing these.
I'm gonna try em... Zydrunas Savickas style.
I tried the dumbbell walk tonight... It was humbling.

Looks pretty interesting so far. Completely different training style, but we have the same goals, so I'll definitely follow along in case my training fails and yours works, I'll just copy you. Lol
The handles on the dumbells at my gym are too big compared to those suitcase things strongmen use. I can carry 200+ each hand with those and can't carry 100lb dumbells.
I really hate quoting, especially multiple quotes, so I'll tag you guys.

Yeah, my body is telling me to rest and I've learned over time of something feels off or you don't feel right to just chill and access the situation. I'm taking off till Friday and pounding fluids. Learning the difference between your body or your mind telling you to stop is very important in my opinion.
@Perrin Aybara @Eman
I just started these last week. I've done them before, but not single arm. Last week I used my belt really loosely to learn the movement. This week was beltless. I actually really like these thus far. Feel they will have good carry over in the bench and bring up my lagging left side. I hope they are in another block of my training, or other DB work. I would recommend for sure.
@Brandaddy
I was training basically for 6 months with only a 5 day deload before a meet, then a week off after, did a few weeks training, did a deadlift only comp, then went right into prep for roughly 6-8weeks for another meet.
So the reason for the band work, per my coach, is to access where my strength is at post meet. Allow my CNS to recover a bit more. Do this for a training block and get into some percentage work for a few training blocks. Then get back into RPE based work roughly 10-12 weeks out from my meet in July.
Although I have only finished one week, I am loving it this far. I am sore and feel the lifts in spots I have not before utilizing bands. Along with the accessory work coming back into play with a couple new movements making me feel it more. I'm throughly excited for what is to come for 2017.

I'm going to throw the DB thing in after next week and see how i like it.
