Big_BK's training log

The only thing i hate is the pain and being out of breath. I can do the weight easily i just cant breath and get light headed and feel like im going to collapse since im not getting enough 02 into my blood. I think this change of pace is going to pay off. I could really use this muscular endurance for strongman. Being able to rip crazy weight and not get tired sounds preeeeeeeeeeety good to me!!

Did back today. Had to run around today so didnt get to go to the gym till now. Still had a pretty good workout tho.

Deads -

135lbs x10
225lbs x10
315lbs x8 straps and belt
405lbs x6 straps and belt
500lbs x1 straps and belt, wanted to get 3-4 but 2nd didnt go up easily so just said fuck it.

Wide grip pulldowns -

150lbs x10
165lbs x10
180lbs x10

DB Rows -

125lbs x10, x8, x8

DB Seated Shrugs -

60lbs x12 3 sets

I always seem to jack up my forearms after doing lat pulldowns becuase when i let the bar go up the weight rips on my hands and strains my forearms big time, need to work on that. Either way pretty happy i pulled 500 after all those sets. I think i will break my 555lb DL PR in 2-3 weeks even with all this high rep changing. It is brutal since im not used to it but a good change of pace. Def. shocking all my muscles.

nice work bk ugh fuck that high rep deadlift shit lol

 

[Big_BK]

Yeah it sucks but my stamina is so bad right now, well it has always been bad so i figure if i am starting off fresh again might as well fix the weak points. I'll switch back to my regular stuff after the summer probably.

 

[Big_BK]

Did a lot of light high rep stuff today strength SUCKED! probably because i didnt eat right today.

DB Curls Dropset -

started with 20lb DB doing 15 reps, took a few secs to breath then did 25lbs x15, took a breath and did 30lbs x10. Had way more endurance this time. This workout was pretty much a marathon. I was a little sluggish when i got there and weak but once my energy drink kicked in i was full steam ahead just didnt have the strength.

 

[Big_BK]

Man am i gonna be sore tomorrow... Shoulders with the crazy guy again. I probably forgot stuff to this was a brutal workout but my stamina is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better then last times i worked out with him and the strength should be back in a few more weeks i hope. Only thing thats still bothering me is my fucking back keeps locking up no matter what i train so i just fight thru it now. It was fucking me up bad on deads though because one side of my back would fire and the other wouldnt so the bar was way off balance the whole time.

I got a pretty good leg workout in on wednesday last week. Ending up working my way up to a 500 single on squats and did alot of high rep stuff on hack squat and leg press. Had a crazy weekend of grad parties and weddings so ive been running around non stop. Going to train back tomorrow as i took it off last week since it was a little over trained from all the heavy full body stuff ive been doing. Then i will be away from middle of this week to the weekend but i should be able to train during that time.

 

[iggy]

good shit man. how's your food intake been?

 

[Big_BK]

Pretty inconsistent but i am able to eat a little more then i was before. Weight is going back on good.
