Hey doc ! great log brother, just got caught up. Anyway i see you guys have the same problem i do with dumb asses unloading your bars when your getting a drink ,grabbing some chalk or whatever.
But im wondering if you guys have noticed what i have. No one ever jumps on my squat rack, that seems to be the one piece of equipment that most avoid altogether lol!!!!
And this is one reason why i love to squat[emoji4]

Thanks for stopping by in my humble abode lol!

Yea we get that a lot at my gym and you're also right it never happens in the squat rack lol. In my 3 or 4 yrs at this gym I can count on 2 hands the amount of guys whose squat form I respected. It's pathetic. Some douchebag new trainer was showing a client how to do reverse BB curls in the squat rack so I had to wait for them to finish entire starting. I got my payback though lol. This chick at the gym has been lifting with me recently and her form is amazing, she's a quick learner, Nd she doesn't give a hard time when I tell her to do soemthing difficult. Hell she even squats 3x a week so I think I found my soulmate lmao.

Drives me crazy when someone uses the squat rack for shit like that!!
I had a guy actually walk up and put one of those rubber tubes (you know the ones with a handle on each end) onto the squat rack while I'm loading it.
I told myself give him till the time im done loading up to finish and realize the Eire of his ways, but of coarse that didn't happen.
So when i was done loading i just got up real close and personal and said " your fucking kidding me right?? This is a fucking squat rack, go do that shit over in the stretching area where they have bars on the wall just for that"
Did not make a new friend that day lol!!!

Thursday workout:

Detour Wave, Week 1, Day 2: bench day

Bench press: 6x3 @ 210lbs
Incline DB press: 5x8 @ 50lbs RPE
Dips: 4xAMRAP
Chest press machine: 3x7 RPE followed by 1 dropset x AMRAP
Tricep push downs: 4xAMRAP
BB curls: 5x10 RPE

 

[Docd187123]

Detour Wave, Week 1, Day 3:

Squats: 2x1 @ 375lbs (felt easy as pie, inadvertently paused the first set and still smoked it with great bar speed)
Deficit deads: 5x5 @ 315lbs (done to the knees with a 2 count pause then to the floor)
Hamstring curls: 2x50 RPE
adductor machine: 3x15 @ 150lbs RPE

All in all a solid workout. Got shitty sleep as I was up till 3am baking cookies. The few weeks off deads seems to have reinvigorated me and allowed me to heal up a bit. Special thanks to POB and Joliver for helping me through these issues. Doc is on his way back with a motherfukking vengeance.

Nice workout there Doc considering you had little sleep, and were they protein cookies you baked?

Thanks MW (not the Manwhore MW lol). No they were testosterone cookies . Unfortunately the raw powder was melted in the ziploc so I tossed it in the freezer to try again later.

I'm I reading that right? Deficits to the knees and then back down? Why not finish the lift? How large of a deficit was it?

Happy your lower back is feeling better! Remember to ease back into it though.

Thanks INH, your new acronym lol. Coach suggested 300-315 to start so I went with the heavier one lol. Am definitely easing back into it though. Still feeling good.

Yes you read right! Deficit to the knees. The deficit was a 45lb plate so around an inch or so. My thoughts, not necessarily my coach's as he didn't explain it to me, are:

1) any pulling is better than no pulling and the hip extension in lockout was causing slight pain a few weeks ago.
2) anything I can break the ground with I've been able to lockout so my weak point is breaking the floor. Deficits help with that and to the knees helps avoid the hip extension.

No! You must type my entire handle correctly or it doesn't count and I won't acknowledge it! haha

Gotcha, makes sense now. Glad you're feeling better.

I'll be hitting the gym on Wed after a week or so break. My lower back was taking a beating from the twice a week deads - one regular session and one paused session - yikes.

I'm going to ease back into squats this week, either Wed or Sat, not sure. I have yet to break open the Voodoo floss I bought....

Deads twice a week is brutal. I did it for a while myself so I know your aches and pains lol. Maybe sub in speed pulls for one of your deadlift days for a short micro cycle to give more of a break?

Glad to hear you're coming back fresh.

Did you get the red floss or black one? The red one is the thicker of the toe and the one I'm using. I used an old bicycle tire tube before I ever got the voodoo floss and even that does the trick

I was using the paused deads day as a sort of speed work day. I set the weight at 60% doing sets of 2 until I slowed down. You know how I feel about paused deads and their relationship to pulling speed so I won't go into it yet again, haha. Was thinking about making a thread about it in the training section though.

I have the black one. It was all I saw on Rogue, tough I didn't search around at all. Just went with the first thing I saw.

I'm still unsure about when I should use them, or even start squatting for that matter. If I'm still injured, I don't even want to use the floss because its seems they're not intended to be used while still injured. It seems they're designed for prehab to prevent injury and rehab after healing. I want my injury to be healed fairly well so I don't injure and have to start over again.

From what I read, quad tendons can take a month or more to heal. If you start back too soon and feel pain, you should add a couple weeks to your recovery. I don't want that.

I'm going to do air squats at home tomorrow, see how it feels.

There's more on my mind about this topic but I don't want to clog up your log.

Yes I know. How many times have you told me hahahah?

The difference I see between paused deads and speed pulls are the speed breaking the bar off the ground. The way you pause your deads is great for the second half of the pull and will help locking out but speed pulls off the ground will help your ground speed. I think you told me though your weak point is further up in the ROM.

I have the black one. It was all I saw on Rogue, tough I didn't search around at all. Just went with the first thing I saw.

If you need to buy again for whatever reason message me first. I'll send you a link to the red ones. They're better for me since they can apply more pressure.

They are used for rehab and prehab but don't be fooled they do help a lot. Especially for my knee and elbow. I used to have pain walkkng up and down stairs (not so much when squatting though which was funny) but now after a few months of consistent use I rarely ever experience that pain anymore.

At the very least, wrap your leg up how I told you and do air/body squats with it and work your knee throughout it's full ROM in all directions not just knee ex tension and flexion. Even if you don't squat just yet it will help you IMO.

Dude really? I could care less what we post about in here. I'd rather be trying to help than have to read my log as it is lol. Post whatever the fuck you want in here, preferably big female butts, it won't bother me

Okay doc I decided I am going to order my Inzer lever by the end of the day. Figured you wouldn't mind these questions in your log...

1) wtf is the difference of the regular Forever Lever Bodybuilding model and the regular Forever Lever? The bodybuilding model tapers in the front... But what does this do for you-- pros, cons?

I only plan on wearing it for deads and squats on the heavy sets..

2) 10 or 13mm thickness, and why?

3) any deals you know of out there right now, or just a good cheap site to get it from?

Thanks in advance, you are officially my go to powerlifting guy lol. Kill that back workout today brother.
