Rob's log part 2 (gonna take a crack at PLing)

I don't know her name but she is sexy AF

DL to knees are tough for me still. I'm straightening my legs too early. It's hard to learn for with 300+ pounds. Lol. From the boxes I like. Those seem pretty comfortable.

i want them both to sit on my face.

all of these variations are just going to help further build your base and make you explosive throughout the lift. do you own a belt?
 
Do you do warmup sets before jumping into the program? If not you should do them and use that time to help solidify the movement pattern. If you already do some, do a couple extra sets at a light weight

Honestly I haven't done much of any warm ups. Most exercises i feel comfortable jumping right in but I will start doing them especially on the DL. I wasn't 100% sure if I should add any more to workload for the day.

Warmups are technically part of the work load true but they should be done in such a fashion that minimizes your fatigue and maximizes your performance and CNS stimulation.

For example, your first working set of pulls to the knee was a 1x3 @ 275. As a warmup I would do something like

Bar x 5-10 (just to get the bar in your hands and your body moving)
135 for 1-2 sets of 5-10
185x3
225x1
Then hop into 1x3 @ 275 and the rest of the work sets. Doing this will not add too much fatigue but get your ready to lift. It will also add in 10-20+ reps with submaximal weights to ensure your form is good and ingrain the right movement pattern. At heavier weights it will take less conscious effort to maintain your form. Obviously tinker around wih the warmup and find what works best for you. Some do better with larger jumps and less warmup volume bc they get taxed easily and some need more warmup work to get themselves ready to attack the bar.

Awesome. I will most definitely start this. Makes sense and not sure why I didn't ask before hand
 
Back feels a stiff tonight. Not in a bad way just that good ole sore muscle stuff. Think I'm gonna just chill tonight as tomorrow has a decent amount of squats with some fun weight. Trying to learn control when it comes to taking a rest day.

Rest days are definetly necessary doing any PLing routine. When I was strictly BBing I did 6-7 days a week for almost 8 years. Now 4 days is my limit. 5 if I have a lot of time off.
 
Benching isn't my problem. I already have 2 blown discs in my back it's the constant 300+ lbs squats and deadlifts I have to watch.
I get it I know. Be careful with the deads. It's not some thing I'm risking any more. I'm fortunate to be able to semi squat. Even tho it hurts. Draw your line man
 
I think the problem is depending on your program youre doing a full body everyday. So theres no body part you can hit that isnt feeling the effects.

When BBing if i do chest one day, I can do legs another, then back, etc...

I've been hurt enough times luckily only once seriously to have learned my limits when it come to my back. That's why I just decided to chill tonight.

Your absolutely right. I feel sheiko workouts from head to toe
 
Keep eating brother. It was tough for.me to even gain a pound on that program. I'm doing a 5/3/1 type thing and already at 280 and I'm cruising with sheiko eating habits. Eat sleep eat sleep!
I've been leaning on my big shake for the extra cals. I've been struggling with food so I do what I gotta do. I got a hella deal on a 10lbs bag ON gold standard protein for 90 bucks. It's going quick. I haven't gained a pound. Mornings sitting right at 200 and nights 204-206
