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

[Docd187123]

I'll have to do some research on it as I'm not familiar with it. My discipline is pretty strong though. I'd assume I'll gain that much just in water by the time everything kicks in.



I've been to every sporting goods store in my area for a lacrosse ball and no luck. I need to just order one. I've got a foam roller though.

I think for now I'm going to drop a couple of my hip centered lifts and keep going with sumo deadlift. I'll drop hip raises and kettlebell deadlift in favor of something else. If that doesn't help I'll switch back to conventional as I have no doubt I can break that record with either form. I feel like sumo might have a slight advantage, but not worth it if it costs me time off for hip pain.

Think with my cycle I should be able to drop 5%bf and remain within 195-198 for sure definitely won't be as lean as you but I haven't spent any time being this big before so eventually. I'm thinking about going into a 5000cal weekly deficit for the next 5 weeks before I start my peak for the meet so I lose about 8lb then I can eat 400 cal surplus for the following 11 weeks into the meet and not have to cut at all going into it

I'm going to have to come in really lean to maintain strength. No way I'm bumping up. I know I'm not eating more than 3800 cals atm and I'm maintaining a good 210 on a light day. Once I start minding my macros I'll drop some weight and fluff. I won't be able to to go much above 4000-4500 cals though.

Seriously guys the day after my cheat day your posting photos alright peer pressure got me in on it too I guess. Sat at 200.8lb this morning, think some water is starting to come in on my cycle or maybe it's cause I had 5.5k calories yesterday who knows. BF is off of a caliber don't know how accurate it is.

I've been there. They say because lacrosse isn't popular here they don't carry it in store. You have to order online or order and pick up. Dick's is a twenty minute drive in a direction I rarely go in, so I'm not there often either. The ruralness is real here. I've been to the mom and pop places in the area, too.

Good to see you here though. This thread wouldn't be complete without you.

with everything going on haven't had much time nor energy to be online much.

Talked to friend and was advised to take at least 5 days off of any stress on my Leg. So looks like I'll be doing lots of upper body till next week. I can tonight's routine as is but I'll probably add in some stuff since I won't be doing any major lifts the rest of the besides bench.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I'm not going to do any lower body until Saturday and I'll try to deadlift. I still have a dull ache in my hip now.

Mine actually feels a lot worse today. I don't want to further mess anything up so I'll take as long as needed. A week even 2 still puts me in a better spot then if I start lifting to early and get hurt gain 3 weeks later.

Box squats

Standing Overhead Press

1 set 10 reps
1 set 8 reps
1 set 7 reps

Bench felt great till I got to working weight. Still fatigued from yesterday's pin press. I'm prefer to have a day in between but with the long weekend and being out of town this was the best way to do it. SOHP has always been a weak area especially when I do them after benching.

The box squats felt fucking great tho. Was really able to explode off the box.

Definitely not a powerlifting workout by any means but I wanted a pump and some conditioning and I won't be doing anything heavy for the next week at least. Weight was 212. Hamstring is really tender to walking and pretty much any kind of pressure but no bruising or swelling so that's good.

If you got any compression shorts that should help with the recovery a bit or possibly using a some kenisiolgy tape to help the muscle stay relaxed and take tendon of during walking. You icing it?

I've had compression shorts on all night last night and today. I've iced 15 on and 15 off for a majority of day. I'll look into the tape tonight.

After seeing You guys should get together make a travelling all male "dance" show. I'd go... for support

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Weight was 219lbs

Skipped front squats for the hip. Bench moved okay. Dips at +95. The chest supported rows hurt pretty bad on my hip, I guess because the weight gets pushed through the feet. Just stayed at warm-up weight. I did very steep incline treadmill for cardio. Taking a break from the bicycle, too.

I'm a little worried about this hip thing, it still hurts all the time. Likely will take the rest of the week off lower body and I'm even more strongly considering going back to conventional deadlift. I had zero issues on Sheiko with hip pain while doing conventional.

Did pulling sumo cause any hip problems during your last meet prep?

Did pulling sumo cause any hip problems during your last meet prep?

It was an off and on constant dull ache. It never amounted to affecting my workouts though. This is the same feeling except way worse. Besides the sumo I've been doing a lot of hip dominant lifts like the barbell hip raises and kettlebell deadlift. Plus the regular bicycle riding lately. I think I just put too much stress on them at once. I squat fairly wide, too. Then over the weekend I went to two concerts and was crazy busy and neglected warm-ups and mobility stuff and that must have put me over the edge.

 

[ruckin]

I just saw that pete rubish cut 20 lbs in 10 days as of today for his meet weigh in. That's insane.

Maybe I could try something like that to make the 242 class at this meet depending on how much weight I put on before then. I'll have to see where I stand as the meet gets closer.

 

[ROB581211]

Well first things first. Leg feels much better as far as normal day stuff. Still get a shooting pain if I move the wrong way but much better. Still gonna stay off it for a while. I want to make sure it's healed and done with so I can come back full force. Man lifting 2 workouts in a row without any leg movements sucks. I wanted to squat so bad tonight. I'm gonna take advantage of this and I did a big chest night. Tons reps at decent weight. Added a few arm movements and shoulder movements. Zero logic to my bench routine except to move weight and get a big pump. Next week it's back to PLing once I can do squats and DL
