Path to a 500 wilks

[Brandaddy]

Workout today was

2x5 paused bench @ 300
2x8 chest supported rows
3x12 lat pulldowns
60 rep tricep ladder

Pretty easy workout. Good thing it was a deload week. Shoulders were still a bit tight from last week.

The shit hand always wins

I'll need to update my three universal truths in life to reflect that. Currently I have,

1. Bitches are crazy
2. There are haters everywhere
3. People that don't get it, don't get that they don't get it

Obviously in no particular order

Decent workout. Got sweaty as fuck. Lol. Down a few pounds from hardly sleeping/eating the last few days and drinking a bit. Did my best to sleep last night and fill back out before my workout. Had a mass gainer shake with extra electrolytes, then 3 mcgangbangs from McDonald's with an oreo mcflurry for lunch. Then had a bunch of cream of rice and chocolate syrup pwo.

Mcgangbang? I’m listening

 

[Brandaddy]

Mcgangbang? I’m listening

Lol. It's a double cheese burger with a McChicken on top and then fries layered on top of the McChicken. Never even bothered to count the calories. Just imagine it's a lot. Lol

Gotta love this log @Brandaddy...you got that sense of humor that's practically unmatched!

Probably the smoothest 500+ squat in sleeves I've ever done. Will be interesting to see how that progresses moving forward. Next session should be a lifetime sleeve PR I'm guessing

 

[Brandaddy]

Kind of forgot to update last week. Lol. Notable sets were 345x3x3 on bench, 485x3 on raw squat, and an obviously effortless 545x3 sumo deadlift.


Workout today was,

2x1 paused bench @ 315
X8 paused bench @ 315
X25 t&g bench @ 225
3x8 one arm lat pulldowns
3x8 nautilus machine row
2x8 landmine press
3x8 preacher curls
3x12 tricep pushdowns


Well, this is my first week without a coach. I feel I've already learned everything I was looking to learn from Josh. So probably going to go back to my own thing for now and incorporate some of the tricks I picked up from talking to him and following his programming. Was hoping to get 10 reps of 315, but I started going to a gym again and their bench sucks horribly. Lol. Too low to the ground, super slippery, and kind of narrow. Lol. Guess I spoiled myself benching with an extra fat pad bench and monolift attachments for awhile.

Oh so the gravy train's over as far as coaching and having a nicer place to train in?

I hate the benches at mine as well as they are too low and worn

If you had the space and the cash maybe buy yourself a nice bench...and maybe a monolift of your own?

Lol. I have them in my garage. I just wanted to go to a gym with other people in it for awhile.

Ahh not a bad idea!

That’s the problem with my garage gym. Huge lack of yoga pant clad 20’s something butts in there.

I just want to lift at a place where someone lifts more than me. Lol. It sucks being the strongest guy in your own garage.

Yup and when like me not even all that strong lol

 

[Brandaddy]

Lol. Yeah. There aren't really a whole lot of people squatting or deadlifting more than me here. But there's a couple people benching over 400 and I think one guy that can squat about 600 in wraps. Which is probably a good 30-40lbs more than what I could.

Workout today was,

3x8, 1xamrap db side laterals
1x12, 1xamrap + drop set cable side laterals
5x8 hammer curls

3x10, 1xamrap skull crushers
2x12, 1xamrap cable pushdowns
Drop set reverse cable pushdowns SS W/regular

Haven't started a real program yet and my back was a little stiff, so I just did a light upper body fluff workout. Felt good to get a little pump going
