Mini Forklift Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The rock climbing sounds cool, you have some good weather at the moment?Nice workout as well, do you alternate between pulling from the floor and from the rack? Solid strength there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid strength there. It was indoor climbing at a local shop with soe walls. I would say these days i pull from the rack a little bit more often. I find it a little more difficult than pulling from the floor as there is no leg drive and relies all on movement from a deadstop only using your back.

MattSxvx Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Had a killer workout this morning. Went right after I got off my 12 hour overnight shift. Used chalk while deadlifting tonight for the first time. Made it so much easier and no torn callouses! Rack Deadlifts: ( with chalk )135x10225x5315x2405x1455x1405x2315x8315x6 SS w/ BB Squats:135x5230x3280x1280x1300x1230x5230x5230x5 Legs were weak and sore as hell tonight for some reason Power Clean and Press: 140x2160x1170xFAIL I try to do these with as little dip down to catch the bar as possible. Leg Press:460x10640x8820x6910x6640x10640x10 Felt pretty easy today Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns: ( strict as well )150x8120x12 EZ Barbell Curls: ( strict with no upper body movement or momentum )90x470x10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rack Squats:295x1, 295x1, 315x4 First time doing these. Pretty difficult. Start from bottom of movement at about 80-90% depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSxvx Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 My little brother came to town with my parents today. I love working out with him. He knows how to push me like no other.

We only had about 40 minutes to get it done but here is what we did: Romanian Deadlifts:55x10145x8195x6235x6285x8325x8375x3 Push Press:95x12135x10 Widest Grip Lat Pulldowns:101x12126x10101x12 EZ Strict Curls:75x8 x 3 sets Palms Up BB Wrist Curls:75x1075x12 Palms Down DB Wrist Curls:10's x 20, 20, 20, 16 Set a huge PR for RDL's because of my brother and using chalk today.

MattSxvx Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT TONIGHT. BB Deadlifts: (only belt and chalk for heavier sets)215x3320x1370x1410x1460x1 (Went up quick and felt pretty easy honestly)460xFAIL420x1410x1320x5 SS with Incline BB Press:135x5160x5 x 6 sets (with 3 second pause on chest) Kept these light to avoid some shoulder discomfort I have been having. Still a challenge with the hold on the chest. Rack Squats: (done at about 3/4 the day down to parallel where my Squat is the weakest and slowest)135x5225x3315x5405x2455xFAIL (couldnt even get it up an inch)405x2 Chin-Ups:BWx7, 7, 5 EZ Bar Curls: (strict, no upper body movement)70x6100x1.5 reps (ugh)70x10 Honestly watching the video that Mini-Forklift posted really motivated me going into this workout today. I am still not sure how I pulled it off seeing as I have slept a combined 10 hours the past three days. Diet has been on point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to see if I could since the first went up pretty easily. I have been reading up a lot on increasing deadlift strength and one that has worked so far is doing more lifts in my 90% range.

I have been reading up a lot on increasing deadlift strength and one that has worked so far is doing more lifts in my 90% range.I'd go along with that, just gotta be careful to get enough rest. 90% efforts are pretty taxing on the CNS.

MattSxvx Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Finally back to the gym tonight. Kept it simple. BB Deadlift:225x1315x1405x1460x1410x1 x 4 sets Incline BB Bench Press:140x5160x5170x5170x5180x3165x4165x4165x3165x4 (all sets with 165 with 3 sec pause on chest during each rep) Romanian BB Deadlift:140x8190x5240x5290x5 Had to keep it short and sweet due to prior engagements. 460 was a lot harder to get up today but the 410 sets went up easier.

You have a good weekend, get up to much? I was actually sick all weekend. I think it was due to the lack of sleep and extreme stress both physically from my last workout and since it is very hectic at work and finals tome during school.I basically slept all weekend between shifts and got nice and rested.

Mini Forklift Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hope you're feeling better now? Stress is a killer, something a lot of people have a hard time controlling and limiting (where possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
