Update

Lord_Suston said:
Nice, you gonna start adding deads in, maybe from the pins since a lot of the comps now are having 18inch dealdift either for max or rep (car)??? insane weight though...

I hate this message "You must spread some Karma around before giving it to Scotsman again."

I will do deads this week. Perhaps from the rack. I alternate from week to week between squats and dead.

Yeah I hate that Karma message too.

I love it, someone else does reverse grip bench for tris. I use to hit these every arm workout for several years straight. I have since switched to close grip, so i seldom do reverse grip anymore. On second thought though...i may have to try them again tomorrow.

Is this all that you do for your arms?

I love reverse grips. Also I hurt my wrist a long time ago and it still bothers me if I do heavy close-grip. Yeah that's pretty much it for arms, sometimes I through in another bi exercise, but for the most part my arms get worked enough on my other lifting days.

Is the beastlift as taxing on the hamstrings as it seems it would be?

Good question! It doesnt seem to tax the hamstrings too much, but I definately think it hits them somewhat. My hamstrings are always a little sore the next day. I figure with all that weight and the position, the hamstrings are probabally getting some work.

It just seems like they would get a hell of a lot of work as you're releasing the weight from the up position, even moreso than squats...

how close do you go on close grips?

i know that if i go to close my wrists hurt like hell. I usually have two fingers on the smooth and two on the rough, probably 8-10" apart.

I put my thumbs on the smooth part so probably 12" or so apart. I cracked one of my metacarpals when I was younger and CG's put pressure right on that spot and causes a lot of pain. So now I just go primarily with reverse presses.

Not bad at all, better throw in some box squats, don't worry about the rack pull, took me a good 3 weeks just to get the hang of them and then my number went up, alot. Though Scotsman I have one major problem with your workouts, your lifting more than me right now..... This I have to rectify

Yeah I was doing over 700 last year on rack pulls I just need to keep at it now. I do need to add box squats but that will be a little tricky since my gym doesn't have anything that will work well for them.

I'll make you a deal. The harder you work to catch me the harder I'll work to stay ahead :)

Was pretty funny to see people's reaction to the depth I was getting. Especially since most of the people at my gym hardly get to 90.

Depth from a big guy is startling sometimes but very important. getting 80-90 at a gym is unheard of,lol....

Very nice shoulder workout, 275x3. Damn I think the best I have got was 255-260for 3 and you still had some left in the tank. I like what I am seeing steady progress with an intelligent method of training.

Yeah I have had people tell me I go too deep on squats and that I am going to hurt myself. I usually pat them on the head and say "ok buddy" LOL

Yeah the 275 was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The bar was flexing big time when I started my push and I only had to finish the last couple of inches for my lockout. Next time I am going to try for 295+.

What's cardio? I need to add it in this week. Just got back from a wedding so I hope I can make it in the rest of this week. By the way weighed in at 306 yesterday with jeans on so I am a genuine 300 pounder right now.

I really like reverse presses for tri's, I think they do about as good a job as anything for pressing strength. I do need to add in pin presses though for a little more strength on lockout. I am probably going to try for 300+ on push press this week so I'll see how the old tris are kicking.

THanks for the advice as always

The high rows are. The regular seated rows are on a bodymaster's iso row. You can't load that much weight on the hammer machines at my gym. Also the grips rotate for a smoother pull.

Yeah I plan on starting sprints on Sat. 365 felt really light I'll head up into the 400's next time. May get out the belt and wraps here pretty soon. Also I am excited to see what kind of gains I make one I get back on creatine. I am making great progress now without taking anything. Figure I'll start creatine six weeks out from the comp and tribulus three weeks out along with some glucosamine and chondroitin.

That is an impressive push press. When and where is your competition? and what do you plan on weighing in at? I read on another post that you 306 or 308 or something at 6'2".....I was wondering if you could outline briefly what your diet is like.

Thanks BBBD29. My comp is on august 28th in pueblo Colorado. I am thinking on dropping down to 285 to increase my mobility and drop a little fat between now and then. I am currently sitting right at 300.

As for my diet I am not regulating it too much right now. Just trying to get in 200 or so grams of protein a day (minimum) here's kind of what I have planned from after the fourth to the comp.

Breakfast:
fruit (oranges or bananas most likely)
cereal or oatmeal 1cup
2-3 large eggs

Snack1:
Protein shake probably 40-50gr protein

Lunch:
Chicken, beef, or Tuna. (Will switch up probably daily) enough for 40-50gr pr.
Ramen noodles or whole wheat bread (depending on which meat)
More fruit or salad (for fiber and vits.)

Snack2:
Mixed shake protein and carb.

workout

Dinner.
Beef or Chicken 60-70gr prot.
Salad or vegetables of some sort.

Late night snack:
sm protein shake 10-20gr protein.

Basically I am going to phase out carbs during the day but still keep some in the diet. Going to try to keep carbs to a minimum after workout and before bed as to facilitate losing a little bodyfat. Mainly I can't sacrifice any strength just to lose weight so if I come in a little over 285 I won't cry about it. Going to add in three days a week of intense cardio and some specific events training from now till then.

Well I did it this time. I decided to switch my grip up after seven years of pulling the same way. Warm-up felt great 315 super easy 405 super easy. Then I stood up after setting down 405 and knew something was very wrong. Could hardly stand up and have spent most of the last three days flat on my back in bed. Pretty sure I sprained/stretched the ligaments in my lower lumbar. On the up side the slight twist I had in my upper body is gone and my hips and shoulders are back in the proper alignment after about four years of being off. So basically I got 4-5months of chiropractic adjustment in 30 seconds. Problem is I got 4-5months of chiropractic pain in the same 30 seconds. Doing well today and may be 100% by weeks end.

totally off subject, but there was a scotish festival thing in the rotunda at the mall of america yesterday

they didnt deadlift or throw logs, i was very dissapointed

i was hoping you would run out to see how far you could chuck the bagpipes into camp snoopy

alas, it never happened
 
Hey man, be careful, I was doing deads a couple of months ago, felt a little strain, did some lower back extensions, felt a pinch and was all fucked up for a few days...I tried to strech it for a few days, and nothing, so I went to the doc, and they shot me up with all sorts of drugs, and kept me over night the next day the PT said my pelvis and spine was a little out of wack, he twisted me up and smashed me for a second, and I was a thousand times better, so it might be something like that, you should get it checked out cuz a little cracking might do you wonders

I am about 99% sure that I sprained a ligament. I can get my back to "crack" and it doesn't hurt very much now. Basically I straightened my spine back out and am now having to get used to being in the correct position after many years of not being so. Should be back up to 100% by next week. Thanks for the input.

Are you still doing your running? If so, I have no excuse not to do so as well.

I will start running again as soon as my back is better. Hopefully next week. Until then I am on the bike. Still you should be running you giant chach.

Back seemed to be doing pretty well and didn't hurt during the push presses. This past week I spent in Indiana and wasn't able to work out, which may be good from a rest standpoint.

how deep do you go on your push press?
i'm kinda thinking of incorporating them every once in awhile

I come down maybe 2-3". Just enough to get some spring out of the bar at the end of the push. They are going to replace bench for me until after my comp in a month.

ok, i think i will incorporate these, i think it would be possible to force up a little more weight

7/28 machine deads/dumbell snatch

Hammer strength pivot deads
warm-up
300x5
400x5
400x5 (all really easy just don't want to go full bore yet on my back, Though I think these will help for tire flipping as you get the same hip drive through.)

Hanging Dumbell Snatches
warm-up
50x3
65x3
80x3 (all easy and should have done more weight but haven't done these in about three years, these should help for weight for height and sheaf toss in the highland games later this year, plus general explosive power.)

Good job on the hammer curls, it's nice to see strength athletes not neglecting biceps, because they are important.

On your d-bell snatches do you catch in the power position or do you do a full snatch?

I try to catch in the power position. That weight was light enough that it was really easy to catch at full extension. My pr on them is the 100's so as I get closer to that I am sure I may have to dip some. Though I don't like going into the full snatch drop on dumbells so I won't go that far down.

...I'm at a loss for words, here. I'm not sure what's more impressive: a killer 3 wheel push press, or the same poundage for reps on upright rows!

Either way, seeing those numbers is gonna make me light my shoulders up here in a couple of days. I'd hit you with karma for the inspiration if I could! ;)
