My squat seems to be better than yours but you closing in on 4 plates on pulls, doing over 2 plates for reps on bench, and that press...But you are good motivation for me to keep getting stronger.

Rookiebeotch Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 You are a handful of kilos lighter. I was measuring wilks totals for the big3. And also the squat difference is large, at the moment. I hope to fix that soon. I only just made my squat rack at the end of last year and I have ancient life-altering knee damage. Both knees. Anyways, double thanks for letting me know someone is parsing my workout log. That takes more slack out of it than anything.

Rookiebeotch Posted February 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 2/12 Thursday. BW = 188 (+3!)I had planned this workout 4 days in advance. Starting time, duration, food, post workout activities, bed time. I was going to start at 550pm and be asleep by 1030. Instead, my mom needed emergency computer repair. I got home at 940pm. So fuck me. 89 minutes. Tested squat loads above current linear progression. Tests proved that I'm a coward. I need to practice bailing onto my safety stands, so I can trust a big load on my back. Made OHP an unscheduled 5/3/1 day. Failed a big OHP PR attempt. Elbows got parallel to shoulders, though. Skipped last two chin/dip supersets. I need to sleep. But eat, shave, and shower before that. LowBarSquat 8x135, 5x185, 5x225, 5x245, 3x255, 2x265, 1x275 OHP 5x135, 5x145, 3x155, 1x165, (0x175) PullUps 5x8xbw Chins 3x8xbw RingDips 3x8xbwFor next week, I think I'll make my 3 squat attempts at 265, 280, 295.

Nubbins McGee Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just curious, how tall are you shooting for 185? I'm trying to get back to that weight, but it might literally be impossible for me given my height and my strentgh goals, so I'm kind of looking for a ballpark to try to get into.

Rookiebeotch Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Im 5'10". 5'9" before posture improvements. I still have fat around certain places. I did a semi successful crash diet before I figured that strong is the way to go about a year ago. Went from 220+ to 165 in about 4-5 months. Right now. if I was lean enough for a 6pack, I would probably be around 170-175. The main reason I want to shoot for 185 is that Ive held that weight every Thursday morning since mid November without having to pay any attention to it other than posting PRs. Suddenly, I went up 3 lbs in a week, right before it matters. Lately Ive been interested in doing a cut. A drop to 175 would put my OHP damn close to bodyweight. Its one of my goals.

Rookiebeotch Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well, if you decide to sell your old bench + rack right at the beginning of your strength journey but then procrastinate on building your replacement rack for 6 months, you will be pretty good at OHP and DL, and your squats will be shit. This is a fact. I was doing ShortGorilla style workouts plus Pendlay every other day. DL, OHP, Row. Every time. 1 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment
