Welcome to the party MP!

Injuries are what they are man. We all deal with them. I just got to keep my head up And not let it run me down.

Yup, Brutus came with me to my coach's gym and it was a great trip. He learned some shit, hit up the mono/SSBar/bands, and hit a PR.

I'm the same way. I want to stay at 198 for now but my training weight is around 205-210. That's limiting what I eat a bit as I could easily hit 220 with my appetite lol.

450+ is "just ok" for an older guy :eek: Lol. That's a crazy bench for a 198er old or young. I hit a PR triple on squats yesterday and was freaking stoked lol. If the back plays nicely I'll be doing an October meet and hope to set 3 new PRs.

@brutus79 told me you two had worked out together but I didn't know until I read this today it was with a coach and at a great gym or that he hit a PR deadlifting that day. No wonder he is pumped about getting into pl'ing shortly.

I'm in the powerlifting capital of the US and should take more advantage of it than I do.

Thanks. Once I get my log started next month I'll be asking you and @insertnamehere and @Masters Power a lot of questions.
After 8 years of basically doing the same thing im really excited to start something new.

I sent this as a PM to doc. Didnt want to keep taking from his thread. But as you can see in his reply, he wants to help all.

Me: I didnt want to clog up your log askingquestions. But about DL grip. I was watching a Mark Rippatoe (im sure Ispelled that wrong) video and he was talking about grip. Ive always usedalternate, but he was talking about how it messes with shoulder balance.
What grip do you use and does it make a huge difference on 1RM? Thanks for all the help.

Doc: My log isn't there for myself only Jay. It's to help others as well so you can post anything you want there or PM me, the choice is completely up to you. I will not care either way.

There are 3 deadlift grips to be concerned with:

1) double overhand grip. This is my preferred grip for warmups sets and as many working sets as I can.

2) hook grip: used to use this one but I switched from it. Some love it some don't. You can try it if you want and it it works for you it'll be great.

3) alternate grip. This one will allow you to lift the most weight but it will stress one arm, the supinated one, more. In extreme cases it leads to bicep tendinitis. I save this grip for heavy attempts or when my grip is weakening in the double overhand and grip becomesimiting factor. You want to work your grip strength with double overhand or hook as much as possible but you also want ton get your reps and sets in too so save alternate grip only when you need it imo

You'll enjoy POB's programs. You'll need to work hard and push through a lot of shit but in 2-3months I'd say you'll be seeing some drastic changes in both strength and size.

Double overhand until you either can't hold it until lockout or your grip starts adversely impacting your form. Then alternate grip, you will be fine just make sure your under arm is straight. A lot of guys who end up with bicep tendon issues don't have the under arm straight which puts a lot of stress on the bicep when the weights get heavy.

Get after it my friend. You will do great. Don't let minor set backs bother you as there will likely be a few with the dramatic change in programming but they won't last long and with the relatively short length of time you have been doing serious training you have a lot of room to grow stronger and hit some big numbers.
 
Doc the 48 inch box jump is awesome. I recently added them in as warm up on deadlifting day. I'm up to 30 inches onto a platform on top of pins on my squat rack. Missing isn't an option and I nearly did today so I won't be going any higher.

Can you dunk a basketball?

I love how box jumps get me ready for a day of squatting.

I don't think I can dunk. I could hit rim years ago on a standard height rim but never was able to dunk. I haven't tried anytime recently but I may give it a shot just to see now lol
 
Just catching up, Doc, but happy to learn that you had a positive and productive experience with the Dr. I'm crossing my fingers that you'll be able to get approved for that MRI.

Nice PRs on squats! You said the paused squat was a PR "I guess". No, its either something you have done before or something you have not done before. If its the latter, "guess" what? Its a PR, buddy! :)

I like to find all kinds of ways to PR - amount of weight, amount of reps, amount of weight and reps with any exercise I do and any variation I do. Progress is progress and it all contributes to making us better, making us stronger.

You're right. I don't remember that's why I'm guessing it was a PR. Last time I did paused squats like this was in my teenage years I think so 10+yrs ago.

This last Saturday I did triple a weight that was 10lbs less than my max at the meet in squats. Happy about that. Coach wants me to test a max effort single next week so I'll be deloading squats this week in anticipation.

Haven't heard anything about the MRI so I'm assuming it's still a go. We'll see as the week goes. On though.
 
I hate to post this because it shows my lack of knowledge. But I have seen paused squat / bench in here and MPs logs. Im assumimg thats just when you pause at the bottom. If so, is that for training purposes or is it meet requirement training (meaning you have to pause at a meet and thats what youre training for)?

At a meet you must pause your bench. You can only press up after given the command. You'd do it in training for specificity but also to help strength out the bottom.

Same for paused squats but no need to pause a squat in competition. They help you out the hole and with lowering through the movement.

Like I said before, don't hesitate to post whatever in here man. No need to feel bad for any reason :D

Yeah, I was just giving you a hard time since your post came across so lackluster for someone that just hit a paused PR. And I haven't conversed with you in a while so I thought that was a good opportunity to bust your chops a little. :D

Hitting a triple at that weight is pretty awesome! Can't wait to see what your new max is!
