The fattening up for winter training log

[SgtSlaughter]

close call with the DB Rows... at least you had enough sense to stop when you felt it wasn't right back there.

You got some good work in... I don't think you'll turn into a jabba the hut over night.

Do you mind sharing what your chiro does for you? Provide any good streches, ect? Or just cracks and lines you up real good

Decline is crazy strong! I have not even tried it in months. Do you think it's a good movement over flat or incline??

Strong declines.....and clean out your PM's, lol, there are a ton of threads (mainly AAS board) to make fun of today.

declines are getting alternated with paused flat triples, right now I don't need any more shoulder stress so touch n go on flat is out. I like the decline, like the dip it's a lift that I'm relatively strong on (my other pressing is ho-hum) so I might as well build on it

One day I'd like 5 plates on the decline, we'll see

Back was feeling up to squatting today but I didn't want to force it.. got creative and McGuyvered a fix for the broken rack pin which was still broken after a week, gotta love gyms leaving themselves open to lawsuits from someone dropping a 35lb curl bar on their toes in the rack.

14" box 500 x 6

12" box 315 x 3, 365 x 3, 415 x 3.. was gonna try 455 but figured save some for wed's workout.

one leg leg press 5 plates/side x 19

calfs, abs (gotta start doing core work seriously), back raises

short but not so bad

solid boxes, you still box squatting with your regular squat stance or wide stance

christ, this is an impressive log. tweakle, what's your weight/height?

 

[Tweakle]

about 240ish, depending on bad carbs and 5'10" (depending on choice of footware)

I'm not that wide at all, I use the same stance for all my squatting.. wide squats always felt weird to me. I did push my hand spacing out by a couple of inches last night to see if it helped the elbow pain and touch wood, seems good so far

Tweakle... The ego crusher of the curl jockeys.

Saturday's squats, I was going for 605 again, but what with mr annoying tapping me on the shoulder after every set asking if I was done with the rack, and the two chubby college girls on the machine next to me I just couldn't psyche myself to do it. Very disappointing, but better than trying and failing.

worked up to 545 x 1, then dropped to 515 for 4 off the 14" box. Had at least one more left in me but figured I'd save it for next time.

low box, 10" - worked up to 455 x 2 (rack pin was a cm too high so clipped it at the bottom, would be good for 3 on this)

singles with 315, 5 or so working on speed. 10" feels insanely low on a box, although it's about as low as I go on fronts or oly squats

home

my ass hurts pretty badly today and I suspect the low boxes might be to blame.. shame as I liked them

edit - no belt on the squats, seeing how my core held up
