Thats the nice thing about squats and deads, if one goes up normally the other will as well. And as for bench we have all be stuck and theres only one way to get past it, Train like a mother ****er! When I got stuck id bench 3-4 times a week!
Hit Some squats yesterday
275 3x3
315 3x3
365 3X1
For some reason I just cant get into bench day anymore. I get excited about doing squats and deads, probably because I am seeing big gains all the time, but my bench workouts have been lackluster to say the least. Used to be the exact opposite.
Squats went well the other day. Did a personal best set, planned it all day so was definitely in the right mindset.
Warmup - 135x10 185x5 225x3 265x1
275x6 - Personal Best
265x5
255x5
245x5 pause squats
Deads
275x10
275x8
275x6
I was smoked after that.

Whats this "cardio" you speak of ?
Laps of judgement I think... It was only 30 minutes. It couldn't have robbed all my gains, could it

Frolicking is fun, huh? :angel:
Come to the dark side with me...I usually do some "assistance" stuff after big lifts. Ex: Bench day gets pushups or burpees or jerks in the afternoon workout. Squat day always gets some box jumps and rowing in. We just got one of rogue's stationary bikes. That thing is MEAN. The harder you push, the more it resists. No resting, no cruising, just ego checking.
Gonna tear up back tomorrow and try not to hurt myself. I'm feeling really strong lately and don't want to get a reality check. Just gonna keep warming up well and try not to go to heavy to fast that's why I'm gonna go heavy and do a good deload. Pull ups after deads are feeling good I used to do it opposite.
Killed chest today, well compared to the last couple weeks.. Good thing is chest doesn't agitate my back

No its not fun
I can't hang with you crossfit crazies I'm not even going to try:rofl:
not sure I could pick 500 up off the rack if my life depended on it.
I bet you could. I squat low to mid 300s and I can get that out. I do overloaded jerk drives out of the rack. If you don't get used to big weight, you can let the weights be heavy. That's against the rules around here!

500 is ALOT!! I'm not sure I could unrack 300 right now, and im not trying for a while with my back until it's 110%
I forgot about your back man. Is another visit to the chiro in the cards?

Yup go back Wednesday for 3rd adjust.. It's WAYS better than before but still not like before.
Unracking is the easy part, gravity does all the work
Its that moving upwards part that makes things difficult.
Heavy negative squats.. Never thought of that
Tried my pyramid on deads didn't work lol
