5 Guys....Not just a burger joint anymore

[jaymaximus]

Just comes with the gig. Not only do we all lift heavy, but we're all meet prepping, so we're going a lot harder.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I know, I'm just being dramatic. Being cursed sounds better. I've dealt with injuries on all three of my meet preps.

 

[jaymaximus]

Maybe there is some Meso curse. When brutus switched over he got hurt right away too.

I was watching olympic lifting and thought about trying that after a few meets. Just looked like it would be difficult, in a good way.

I'm currently doing it and it's disheartening snatching 115 as a max weight when I can deadlift so much I can make the bar fly but without technique it doesn't matter

so ill be knocking down my RPE on squats by 1 for the next 2 weeks and access from there. it feels alot better today and plan on doing some active recovery today so hopefully that helps. im honestly not too worried about it. just kind of bummed as i just finally broke down and picked up some knee sleeves and wated to try them out on saturday when i had to do all of the big 3.

Well shit has been hectic as fuck and lots dumb stuff going on top of the hammy pull. I haven't been to the gym since last Wednesday. Feel like a fucken sloth. 13 hours at work today so looks like it'll have to wait till tomorrow. Not sure what to do or how to go about training until I find out what's going on with my leg.

8-9

Deadlifts
535
12 sets 2 reps
(These didn't not feel all that great till the 4-5th set. Then they flew up. Could have done 15 sets but was on a slight time restriction)

Bench with bands
Used a cambered bar for extra ROM
185 +band tension(roughly 130)
3 sets 5 reps

Kokylaev deadlifts
505
1 set 5 reps
455
2 sets 5 reps

Did an extensive warm up and cool down plus some abs. Adductor feels great. The real test will be on squats though.

Also wanted to posted this video. Listened to it for probably the first 75 minutes in the gym.

[theprodgicalson]

Bench
320
3 sets 5 reps
(Was still really sore from cambered benching yesterday. Really excited to utilize that more in future training. Feel it ALOT in my pecs which I rarely do on normal bench.)

Concentric Squats
82lbs Cambered SSB bar
452
1 set 3 reps
(HUGE PR on these. Probably could have done another 10lbs but my spotter had to leave and the gym was closing soon. My max all time was 455 for 3 on regular squats. Excited to test my new triple on Friday.)

Floor press
295
1 set 7 reps
This ended up being a 10RPE so I dropped some weight for the rep drops
285
2 sets 5 reps

All in all a solid session. Squats felt great, no problems whatsoever with my adductor. Supps seem to be kicking in just at the perfect time!

Just weighed in at 252 this morning after being stuck at 257-258 for weeks, including just a couple days ago. I lowered average daily calories to 3430 this week (4500 on mondays and fridays and 3000 on the other 5 days) and started clen so I'm happy that those changes have the scale moving in the right direction for now.

Also I'm having to do Friday's workout on Saturday, so I'll be posting my all my training for this week after that workout. Going for 445x5 squat and 275x5 push press!

[theprodgicalson]

Squats
445
1 set 3 reps
(These made no sense to me. I did concentric squats for the same amount of reps, with more weight, 2 days prior. I'll have to reweight the bar I used on Wednesday to see if it does weigh 82lbs)

400
2 sets 3 reps

Rack pulls

Pulled 635 with ease, held at top for 5 seconds to work on grip. Could have done at least 3-4 reps. Made a big jump to 695 and couldn't get it to budge the first try. Bumped down to
680
2 sets 1 rep
Held for 3 seconds at top.

Bulgarian Split Squats
190
3 sets 7 reps

Felt great to have upper 600's in my hand, and to be able to have the grip strength for it. Even considering how squats went I'll consider today a victory

 

[Perrin Aybara]

135x5
225x5
275x3
315x3
Added wraps

Called it here because my elbows hurt so bad my hands were literally trembling. Might have to do high bar for awhile. This whole meet prep has become a total fucking disaster and it pisses me off so much after putting so much into it.

Anyway
Barbell rows 185 5x5

Bulgarian split squats
135x7
155 4x7
