Okay breaks over for me...
Squats last night.
4X10X260 Holy sheet legs burning
1 & 3/4 back squats (high bar) drive out of the hole, stop 3/4 of the way up, then go back down. so basically 1 rep is 2 squats (just shy of lockout). Not sure what they call them other than painful
Figured I would start light and adjust.... Nope 135 was all I wanted...
3X5X135
1X10X135
Thankfully I ran out time to do any thing else... I have to work tomorrow
F-me, limped out of the gym... Going low volume high weight, back to high volume low weight is a b*tch:rofl:

I do not envy you, high volume shit always just messed me up and never made me feel stronger.
My retro finally, fiiinnally got a new bar... ohhh dat fresh knurling feel, back is a lil tore up.
Yesterday was a "heavy" day, so 415x3 squat, 235x3 bench, 255x3 row, mentally was not all there, squats felt way to heavy but got what I needed done.

I here you... Just trying to work some Hypertrophy into my little b*tch legs
I'm going to make them stronger or break the mother F'ers off:thumb:Oh, and how I love the feel of a high end Barbell... Oh so nice lol
Oh its not high end by any means, thing was whipping like hell with 415 on it, but, the lack of sliding down my back is a plus, so I will take what I can get.
Good Knurling makes a big difference. The only bar with the proper diameter at my gym is pretty old and the knurling is trashed from lots of Meathead use:rofl: & it's whippy as hell.
I'm always amazed when I go to a meet and use the Eleiko Power bar, that thing is beefy. Little to no whip and perfect knurling. Although, if it ever slipped it's taking half your skin with it

The Eleiko competition bars and training bars have different knurling on them. The competition bars would suck to train with; they are incredibly sharp! Their production tolerances are crazy too. They say they are within 7 grams or something stupid like that.
We had an in-house competition today at the gym. Three workouts back to back.
#1
8 Min amrap:
5 hand release burpees
7 KB swangs at 55
9 Wall balls
The swings were super light. We always use the 70s unless it is super high rep, so I just did muscle snatches pretty much because it is way faster.
#2: 10 Minutes to get a 1RM front squat. Got 295. Ran out of time. 300 was within reach, but not much more after all those wall balls.
#3
row 50 cal
40 DL @165
30 box jumps at 24"
20 ball slams at 40
10 "c&j" at 165 but lets be honest, crossfit: it's ground to overhead.
14 minute time cap.
Not sure my time, but I finished with some time left. I didn't eat after we started and I was out of gas by the time I got off the rower.
In other news, Candito action starts Monday. I'm pumped. Ready to get strong.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have any hands or back left if I trained daily with it. Sure is nice come PR time:thumb:
Would like to check out a Ivanko bar as well. The Comp plates we use are Ivanko but the bar was Eleiko. Also heard Rouges new power bar is very nice and much easier on the wallet than the other 2. I need to move back to civilization Duramax parts and weights are stupid expensive to ship up here:rofl:
Good luck with Candito's program:thumb:
just out of curiosity i checked to see what that power was to ship to Fairbanks and its 89$
Lol, I have to be careful about smoking good deals... Sometimes after shipping there not so good
89 is actually better than I thought it would be...

I plugged in 99701 to see if it changed from $0.00 and it didn't. I isn't an eleiko, but it's a good bar.

A TPB was always on my list if I get setup at home

I think it may be cheaper if you source through capps but idk, its been a while since I researched em.

Went and did squats and deadlifts couple days ago. My partner couldnt go to the gym with me so I said F*it and went and did legs.
Have two new PR under my belt now. I weigh in at 222.4 currently and did 455 for 2 reps on squats. That was my 5th set too. Worked up to it. Then did 525 deadlift with a 2 second hold at lockout. I've got about 6 weeks before I leave here to up those from 455/525 to 500/600. Ive been averaging 50 lb gains every 4 to 5 weeks so maybe I can get them there. lol I'm ready to start doing bench again. That is Tuesday, so hopefully my shoulder is good enough to get back into it by then.
On a side note. Trying new product called JYM. I got the preworkout, alpha, ZMA, Shred for when that phase hits. Then got my standard MRI Pro-Nos protein.

Thanks Guys, I will probably wait until after I move back to Idaho this summer sometime... I can't believe all the crap I have accumulated, F-me
Dude, I would kill for 50 pound gains every 4-5 weeks. Nice work. I modified my workout program to use more Hypertrophy in the early phases and modeled it out to 14 weeks with the help of a friend... Hoping that gets my weak azz legs to grow:thumb:
Just curious what have you guys noticed from lifting? As in no more pain in your back, knees, better overall health etc..
When I got into olympic lifting and stopped hitting big reps of stuff like bench, I had far less joint pain. I didn't know my elbows and shoulders could feel so good, actually. :roflmao:
