Thanks guys! @jimmmer @McCloud33
My programmer and coaches are absolutely amazing at getting results. I know @juliewatkin knows at least one of them.0 -
Same here. I got 20 kilos last year but that was muscle memory. Now I'm at my Peak so gains are really hard. I would be happy if I could keep my level and cut some weight at the same time.0

Got some catching up to do. Stupid job...Iron_Miss_Canada wrote: »Finally! Broke past a forever stall at a double at 100lb for push press and nailed 105lb for a triple!
This is amazing! Nice press @Iron_Miss_Canada
@piperdown44 your bench is super smooth!!
@smurfbus sorry about the injury. That chin-up and dip was impressive though. That chin-up from an absolute dead hang must've been tough. Nice!
@McCloud33 those pulls were nice man. I know about that back strain you're talking about. It's why I pull sumo now. Nice work.

Powercleaning this morning and got a new PR of 275lbs. That's a 30lb jump from the beginning of December. Stoked to say the least! I hope to clean three wheels one day (315lbs).

Thanks, still working to improve it some. Main focus this year is legs though. Too imbalanced on strength.
Actually that's my work gym. Not a big space but there's only a few of us that use the weight room. It has a small basketball court and a stage area with aerobic machines.
Next video you post must be Flashdancing on the aerobic stage. Oh what a feeling dancing on the ceiling!!!!0 -
@Iron_Miss_Canada
The difference in both bench examples is palatable. Still, the top earlier example you can see what a great understanding of that lift you had.0 -
This morning's 5/3/1 Deadlift 5+...got 315x8. Not my smoothest. Was really hoping to get 10+ and I probably could have if I really pushed, but I could feel it in my back and stopped before I pulled something or form really went to hell. Down to a BW of 185 from my high of 190+ at the beginning of Jan. Hopefully I can keep my strength through the rest of my cut through the end of March.

That's why I detest touch and go deadlifts, you lose tightness in your back and explosiveness off the floor is not achieved and your back has a tendency to progressively round as the reps increase.0 -

So- given the conversations that were had here- and the fact the gym moved the lift they as a group were going to attend- I'm switching up programming and going to go for max size and I'm gonna do the 20 rep squat program.
You all made me do it. I swear. Excited but- FML. HE HE HE

I've done it once before. it was miserable about half way through. It was the most mentally nauseated I'd ever been going into a workout. Figured everyone needs a gut check every once in a while. LOL0 -

So you'll have to post some videos and your progress for inspiration for if/when I try it. I'm still struggling mentally on the 5/3/1 BBB when I do my 5x10 squats :-P body just says why don't you stop already!So- given the conversations that were had here- and the fact the gym moved the lift they as a group were going to attend- I'm switching up programming and going to go for max size and I'm gonna do the 20 rep squat program.

@nakedraygun how do you do hi rep sets? Do you reset after each and every lift?0 -

Yep. Make every rep a rep no matter how long it takes. By trying to race through it, one is more prone to programming their body wrong and thus affecting future performance.
The only time I speed through deadlifts are RDLs because the ROM is rather reductive meaning less cues your body needs to perform the lift efficiently/safely.0 -
@incogneato sweet!
@JoRocka @McCloud33 you go have fun with 20 rep squats. I'm grateful that I won't have them in my future, although I do know what squat program I've got waiting for me when we go full steam on my squat. And having run smolov, I think I might prefer smolov again. At least it would be easier.
@nakedraygun the funny thing is that at the time of the first video I had almost no knowledge of bench technique. It was lie down and try and move the barbell. Guess it kinda goes to show how much bench is a natural movement to me despite these long monkey arms.0 -

Currently tapering for bench only Nationals. What I do directly after depends on how I perform. If I earn my spot on the team for worlds, then staying on bench only programming until mid June. After that, once I have reloaded to the point that it actually makes sense, I know I'm getting handed Armenian squat. I ran the bench version as my last extensification block prior to commonwealth and it was intense.0 -

Good luck making the team. Are you open still or masters?
I'm taking a bit of a break from nationals for a year or two. Maybe I'll think about it the year Worlds is in Calgary; 2018.0 -

Still open. And thanks!
Competition to make that team is going to be insane! 2018 is my last year of open.0 -

@McCloud33 - I'm going to start I think next week- I totally lied- I remember setting up off my 1RPM- but rereading and writing programing- it's off your 5RPM- so I did 200- and started at 110.
I suspect around 145-150 I'm going to start hating my life LOL- I'll get video up though. I did 3 x 10 on my bench at 135- and that was a first in a long time doing such high reps on bench- not sure if this will work- been a while since I did an IG video to MFP.
0 -
oh it worked LOL. This was my 3rd set. Not unhappy at all.
I'll start taking squat video next week- it's harder b/c I usually video in the back- it's more quiet and less distractions- but I need a power cage or rack and those are easier to grab in the main room- so- we'll see how video set up goes.0 -

That's why I switched to the higher percentages. One cycle I do 80% training max 5x5, next cycle 90% TM 5x3 and keep alternating back and forth.
Granted I've only run this for a few cycles now but I've seen better strength gains than I did on the 5x10.

@jorocka I thought it was off your 5RM. That's a nice bench too. I've been doing 5x10x135 for more big but boring assistance and I'm definitely starting to feel it after 3 sets. I only give myself a 60 sec break between though too.
@piperdown44 yeah, I've considered trying to up the %, but hey, it's programmed that way for a reason, and I'm still a noob so I'm not going to argue with it too much. And like I've already said, I'm thinking of doing the 20 rep squat in a couple months, so if I can't get myself mentally able to do 10+, there's no way that I'll be able to do 20.0 -
This morning's 5/3/1 top set 185 for 3+...got 9. Might have gone for 1-2 more with a spotter. @Iron_Miss_Canada I know you commented on my tightness for my bench the last time I posted it, any better here?

@JoRocka and @McCloud33 : solid looking bench!0
-
it is- which I'm grateful for- because that's a lot less weight to move around then my 245 1 RMP- derp derp. glad I double checked before I started again!!!@jorocka I thought it was off your 5RM. That's a nice bench too. I've been doing 5x10x135 for more big but boring assistance and I'm definitely starting to feel it after 3 sets. I only give myself a 60 sec break between though too.
oiy 5 x 10- that's a lot of cardio!
I have to give myself more rest only because 135 is a larger percentage of my 100% effort- and really it's just "do 2/3 of 10" not any real point in terms of rushing it- depending on how I feel I may be able to bump it up which would be nice- try to get my bench a wee bit higher- I'd be REALLY thrilled if I could do 2/3 of 10 at 155- but we'll see
135 felt super solid on Friday- yesterday it didn't feel so good LOL- food makes all the difference in the world.
I'm gunning for a 200 pound press this year. god that would make me SO happy.0 -

Working toward a 20 rep squat I can understand the standard 5x10 BBB. But, I will point out, that 5x10 BBB is only 1 of a handful of BBB templates that Wendler put in. It just happens to be the most common but not the only one available.
