You got this broski
Mission accomplished! They only thing that I'm pissed about is my grip. It was starting to fail at 405, so I used wrist wraps. I should have used a switch grip and at least tried it. I did at 600lb static hold wiTh a switch grip at the end of my workout. I didn't realize how much better of a grip you get that way. My double overhand grip is weak, I'm working on it but I also just started to a couple months ago. Still impressed I got 455 up tho.
Fuck yeah dude, that's great! Congrats!!
I pull conventional and I was using a double over hand. I started using a over under grip on static holds and I could do a lot more weight. I'll start using that when my double
Over hand grip fails.i tried hook grip again and man it hurts lol
i dont know anyone personally that pulls strictly double overhand. its either mixed of hook. so decide on one of those and watch your numbers steadily rise up.
Yea as soon as I pulled mixed on static hold and seen how long I held it for compared to double overhand, I'm pretty sure I could have pulled 455 without straps. I'm actually so confident that I could have, I think I could have gotten 475. I know I'll hit 500 by the end of the year. Not sure if I'll take my deload next week yet, I just took one 3 weeks ago. I'll see how I feel Monday when I wake up. If I skip it, I'll deload for sure in 4 weeks.
Guess I start my 2nd job Sunday night. They called with my schedule Friday. I told them I could work till close Friday, Saturday, Sunday but I thought close was earlier than 10, I wake up at 3am on Monday to lift. So this isn't going to work.
What day is it??? Squat day!!!!! Had a great workout even tho I started my 2nd job last night and didn't get to bed until 10. Still was up at 3am getting ready to rock. I ate like shit over the weekend. Not candy or sweets really but just a lot of food. Woke up weighing 225 which I know I didn't gain 7 pounds since Friday. Oh and this new job is bad for my diet. I'm aloud to eat and take home whatever leftovers there are. I took a bunch of stuffed chicken and Italian sausages. Plus ate some cheesecake bites and Boston cream pie
Paused bench, 3x5 280, enough said lol. No pain again, form felt and looked good. I just have to slow down and remember my cues when lifting. If I just grip it and rip it, i fuck up, but when I slow down, think about the lift and the stuff I have to remember, I do good. The only thing that has been bothering me is my lower back has been tight since last Monday. It's only tight and hurts a little when I first wake up. Once I start moving around and get going, it goes away for the most part. I started after squatting 415 last Monday. I don't think I was tight enough, plus my old belt was 6mm thick and narrowed in the front to 2.5inches, so it didn't give me the best support. This new belt is 13mm thick and 4' all the way around.
Lite squat day, worked up to a whooping 185 for 3x10. I more or less just stretch and worked on form and did an hour of cardio. Back was still stiff this morning until I got to the gym and started warming up, then it loosened up and felt good.
Overhead press day, 3x5 190. I should hit 225 for my PR in 3-4 months which makes me excited. My back felt better this morning. Not as tights as it had been. Got bad news yesterday, my wife's brother got fucked by the legal system and got sentenced to 10 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. They are scared he will commit suicide bc he isn't the prison type at all. He's actually on suicide watch now. Don't want to get into specifics but pretty much white girl accuses black male of something and they believe her and not him. Happened in small white town that is racist.
Shit. Sorry to hear that.
Thanks, he's not a bad kid at all. I've know him for 12 years now. He's only like 5-8 and maybe 140lbs soaking wet. I just feel bad for him.
Shit that's rough. Especially when the deck is stacked against you.
Deadlift day!! Did 1x5 415, which was a 5 rep PR but I wanted to do 2 sets but that 1 set was hard enough. Plus I've been jumping up more weight than I should on deadlifts and squats bc I started low when I started 5-3-1. Still feel strong even tho I dropped then tren a week ago.
Forgot to add, I started using a mix grip and it was way better than double over hand. I felt a lot better doing the reps. Usually when I get up there in weight I can feel my grip start to give and it makes it harder to complete the rep. Not this time.
