Mos Jeff, man those lower body numbers look great bro. Alot of progress. Your Bench is a pretty good mystery, but it looks mental. I went through this not long ago as well. It was pretty discouraging for me when I got back in the gym and couldnt get 3 wheels anymore on my bench. Was like I lost ever...

Shoulders today! After 2 days rest I was feeling pretty good about getting back in the gym. DB Shoulder presses: Warmup, 85X5, 95X8, 100X6 (Little help on #5 & 6) Smith Shrugs: Worked up to 405X10 then drop set back to 1 plate Upright Rows Sup Set w/ Lateral Raises: 45lb PlateX20 (Upright) 25lb ...

Managed to keep myself away from lifting yesterday! Was an incredibly boring day at work so I had time. Did go do 20 minutes of light cardio and a quick Ab circuit. Got plenty of good food too, so that was a plus. 2 Weeks out form vacation and Deload. Can't wait. Feeling pretty good about everything...

Got in my back work today, Pretty scatter brained workout but it got the job done. Warmup w/ Lat Pulldowns Mixed grip pullups/chins- 3 sets of between 6 and 10 reps with light pulldowns between. Deads- 135X12, 225X5, 315X5, 335X3 (Kept it fairly light and well away from the 90% range) Barbell rows- ...

PR clouds are forming, as Hank would say

Yeah I have been checking out Hanks logs man, great stuff there. He is a good contributor to the community, that is golden.

OK, today was supposed to be an off day with light cardio. Nah... I was feeling great and had time to go. So back to chest! I used pretty much the exact same scheme as last week. Flat BB Bench: Warmed up the RR way but today I took it to a single of 295. Dropped back to 275 and knocked out 7 with ma...

Feast Workout #5 Squat Warmup 135x4,185x4,225x3,275x1,315x1 Squat 315x8 <-- In a state of absolute shock. Spotters said I did 9, but the last one was questionable form, reps 7 and 8 were tough and form slightly off but still went deep. I dont know what to say right now, I was in the zone but god da...

Yesterday I trained legs. Here is where things get incredibly embarrasing for me!! Words cannot begin to describe my disdain for leg day. DOMS is incredibly rough for my legs usually lasting 4-5 days with 2 of them being unreal. Legday! Squats- Following a warmup: 225X5, 225X5, 225X4, 225X4, 225X3 (...

After a good day off (light cardio only) I went after shoulders. Intended on hitting up legs, but just was not feeling it and I happened to watch a video of Branch Warren training shoulders. DB Shoulder presses: After a few warmup sets I decided to destroy 90s for a working set. I blasted out 9 incr...

Got in a good back workout yesterday between BP readings. Really felt strong. Lat Pulldowns 2 light sets for warmup Mixed grip pullups- 6, 12, 10, 8 DB Rows- 105s for 3 sets of 10 (I have always struggled with these, I did well keeping the tension off of my arms and in my back, but it was lighter th...

Happens. BUT, I do think there are 3 things to look closely at: 1. Rest days (2 would probably have been better than 1) and.. 2. Rest prior to the max 3. Actual warmup methodology 4. Calorie/carb intake The extra rest day usually benefits you insofar as recovery. You're getting stronger, faster and...

That is a good point about using on your early light sets. I like it.

Measured use is definetly key here as you point out, I would say adding in that extra off day would be key to good recovery.

Has anyone experimented with chains or bands (For their presses and squats) while running BP? It seems like it would be a natural fit to me. A great way to amp up intensity in your work set during Feast workouts leading up to your 1RM not too mention if you were to stop using chains during your GLP ...
