Thanks IRBS, I would def like to see where my push press is. These seated presses have had a nice carryover to all of the other exercises as well.

Boom! Right there ppl. I mean if it tastes nasty ok look around but other wise, we don't use supplements as candy, they are for results! Wides has a solid grip on what workout supplementation should be. newbs should have to come in here to learn before placing their first supp orders. Nuff said...

That was it, in and out within an hour. SLDL are coming along very nicely went down touched the top of the shoes, paused for a one count, then came back up. Gotta build a platform or some thing since the thinger we use is a clusterfuck. Went on to do some heavy stuff for the back, really wanted to do BOR but the lower back was a little fried. It was a good day, not great......the need to get stronger, bigger, and more athletic is growing more and more each day. Gotta let it out sooner than later

Damn good night, 565 was smooth with a nice 1 count pause in the hole. Was able to keeps the knees apart and stayed tight. That puts me closer to 585 which is a goal that I want, and once I reach that 600 is right around the corner. Was told my someone there that I have to be a powerlifter since I train with heavy weights with complete disregard for my body....haha. Didn't catch his name but he knows the Nazarath crew. Did some leg press to get more work in and the iso stuff was to get the blood flowing.

Getting closer to 600

Nice squat big wides! Thats the way to throw down man. 6 bills is right around the corner man.

Thanks boar, gotta keep it going upwards progressing each session. I think all of the added deadlift work is helping the squat and all of the squat work is helping the deads. Its great how everything works in one big circle to get big

600lbs is standing there completely unaware that you are about to tear him up. Congrats on the 565. -T.

Looked killer to me. What is BOR? Man I learn a lot in here :)

What do you think about a guy with past low back issues attempting SLDL's Wides?

Hg

[Hoomgar]

Here is what I would do, this helped me not only pack on some meat but got be out of a rut as well. Only did two exercises for chest, that was it. If I did flat presses then I did incline flies and the same was true for incline presses and flat flies. The rep scheme went something like:

Press: 1x15, 1x12, 1x10, 1x6-10, 1x5-3, 1x5-1, 1x5-1, 1xfaliure, 1xfaliure (these were lighter than last heavy set)
Flies - 4x15-4

I would also try maybe this approch if you like to do a little more work:

Flies - 4sets 10-6
DB Press - 4sets 10-6
BB Press (if shoulder can handle it) - 4x10-1

With this one if you do flat flies then do flat DB press and finish with incline press

This gets applied tonight. I'll post results tomorrow in my journey. Thanks again bro.

Hg

BOR = bent over row. I felt this one today pretty damn good. Hams nice and tight plus when I walked everything was sore.....its all good....as far as attempting SLDLs how bad is your back? Does other shit aggravate it? Can you deadlift? I think with SLDLs like all other lifts if you ease into them with no problems, do them light and with correct form they will have a nice effect. But listen to your body and go with that

This gets applied tonight. I'll post results tomorrow in my journey. Thanks again bro.

Hg

Let me know which one you do....they are both seperate workouts

[Big Wides]

Still sore from Monday's workout....no clue why but the upper back/lat/trap region is where its sore. No training yesterday so depending on how shit goes today might be able to get a chest session in.

Hanging Leg Raise - 4x8 with 25lb db between legs

Good session, wanted to flat bench but they were all taken up, thought bench day was Monday not Wed....must have missed that memo. Anyway hoped on the incline and went to try and move some respectable weight. I think the 345 is a PR, but I am not sure. The pause flat bench was great, did it tired and a little fatigued which is good for me. Got to be mentally tough as well as physically. Flies and dips to get some more work in.....

[ChandlerXJ]

looking at your numbers then having you say you're not strong makes me feel like the weakest person on the planet!

my neck was still aggrivated last night after a week off - the incline press machine gave me some head pressure, chilled, stetched, and it mostly subsided, did very very light triceps - skulls, and back - pull downs just to stay active and in the pain-free zone...

sippin on EAA stack, glutamine, and omega 3 caps all day long trying to keep inflammation down, aminos abundant... ughh healing takes forever!

Felt damn good to get that and have some of those who think their shit dont stink at Globo shut up. One of the dude actually came up to me and shook my hand. The Pin Lockouts were done at my sticking point with is a little lower than a 1/4 squat. The point of the exercise was hammered home, teach the body how to strain under heavy weight. Finished up with the Rev Hacks to get some bloodflow into the legs. The gym is a pretty damn good method of therapy......

I seriously miss my old racks where I used to train. I dont like these racks with the hooks...you know what I mean? They are on the benchpress too...it seriously throws me off.

Was nice and deep felt it all through the hips and hams. I know how you feel on the squat rack, thats the one I squatted in yesterday the hooks really mess when you unrack it and you tend to get unbalanced.

Thanks Jim, I think all of the chain work is paying off big time. Yes pin lockouts are very easy, just set the pins to whatever height you want, place the bar there load it up, get under it and squat up. helps the body deal with strain and handling heavy weights

I really like them as a pre-exhaust for shrugs and they hit the rear delts nicely. It switches up the mondane rear delt flies. IMO strong shrugs = a strong pull and helps finish the lift nicely

thanks bro, trying to get big one day at a time. Eating hearty and training big will get the job done in time

building some big and strong shoulders
great job wides

thanks Pizza, i feel that stronger shoulders can only lead to a decent bench, a soild pull and a heafty squat. Plus from what I hear big shoulders look good in a shirt

[Big Wides]

Update on feeding habits:

Going to be keeping the protein the same but throttling back on the carbs and eating more rabbit food. Going to combine what carbs I eat with the rabbit food so that they taste better. Should be interesting to see how this plays out

I have been itching to do it again.....maybe this week I'll give it a whirl and see where it stands. I would like to have it in the low to mid 300s but it all depends on how my legs are doing that day. But knowing me I'll find a way to get a big number.

Thanks bro

Decent session tonight, gotta get those GMs up but they felt good. Shocked myself with the pullups, no idea where they came from.

Boom baby! Big Wides doing pullups! Lovin it bro. If I may... I've been bringing mine up recently bro out of shear determination. I just make sure I do them every week. I've actually got a goal set right now. It's working. I'm adding max reps and increasing the least reps every week!

One more tip, throw some underhand close grip sets in too. They are a power move and allow you to get a few more in once you are fatigued from the Wide grip sets. Plus, they help to build and widen the lower lats. And that = a Wider Wides ;)

Good stuff bro...

[JUGGERNAUT]

I see all is good at the playground, nice work Wides. (The other good thing is you actually put your toys back in the toy box when you are done! haha) I can't say that for the other little snots there... Maybe if we take the mirrors down, so they can't stare at themselves; they may notice the mess they leave behind... That would not work either, I know! Keep killin it and I'll see you next week.

I will have to take the pullup suggestions under consideration, cause it is something I need to improve on....it can only help the Big 3. A wider Wides would be very nice, gotta do something with this mass of a body

Yes the playground has been revolting against me....haha bring it fuckers. As they look in the mirror I just keep adding weights and doing what I do. Doesnt even matter cause half of the mirrors are hung wrong anyway.....pulling from the floor next week and with Monday being Labor Day might push it back to Tuesday so that the BBQ bloat to good use

Smooth day today, the 365 set moved extremely nicely and was able to power through the sticking points. Chains are good, the 370 I got off the chest and stalled 3 inches off the chest, there is always next time. I was able to stay nice and tight throughout plus the lat flex was there helping along. I set up to do steep incline in the smith as my last exercise however someone came up to me wanting to know how many sets I had left. He wanted to flat bench, all were taken in the place so I kindlly gave him the smith rack so that he could do his pressing. To me its no big deal he was very nice about it, thanked me and went about his session....thats being hardcore in my book helping out those who want to train but can't because of the lack of equipment and over aboundance of idoits in a gym.

Nice pressin man! You should take bigger jumps when you work up. You took 4 sets working up 30lbs...You should do that work up in 2 sets...of course that is assuming your speed is good. Either way, Killer work. I think you should be good for 375-385+chains though.

Thanks bro, I will admit my jumps were not big by any means. The last time I did these I did very well with 345+chains for a single and bombed on 365+chains so I at least wanted to get 365+chains for a least a single. Speed was there, I was tight on the bench, and kept the arch through the movement. I will return to these in two weeks and def take your advice to make bigger jumps

thanks Hg, chains are great tool to use they take a while to get used to but once you find a groove its all good. It also helps mentally since all you see on the bar is the normal weight so you know you can get it, just at the top of the movement its about 45lbs heavier than it is

I enjoy getting smug looks when I unrack the weight and squat down, however when I stand up with the bar and it looks like it wants to take off those looks turn into "Oh Shit". The smug look came from some lovley indvidual who was all wrist wrapped, belted for a front military set that I can hit for an easy 5 with just my sack. The 405 was to get used to squatting without chains and the Zerchers were added for more fun! Got two more sessions this week, gotta make them count

Hey BW,

Do you get severe bruising after squats. My left shoulder..right behind it has this big black and blue from the bar. It's causing shoulder problems. I have to take some time off to let the area heal because its in pain here and there.

The most I get on my shoulders after squatting is a red line where the bar was. Not so much brusing, have you tried different bar postions on your back (higher or lower than were you have been placing it). Thats the only thing I can think of right now or if you have access to an SSB you can still squat since the bar doesnt rest on the shoulders. But I would play around with the positioning of the bar on your back on a non squat day to see what is comfortable

Ok thanks Wides. I get the red line over my traps but the bruising appears right behind the shoulder. I probably need to raise the bar higher a bit. Ok Thanks BW.

Instead of griping the bar as normal, you just reverse your grip like a reverse grip pulldown. Hits the long head of the tricep well

Now that is a monster fucking shoulder session right there... You are blossoming into quite the freak, Wides. Damn proud of your amazing progress my brother. Peace, G

Those words mean a lot coming from the freak who got this whole thing started. Just trying to get up to a nice physique and move some weights the way those before have.....I can only hope that this wave of big weights keeps on moving

[Big Wides]

You're using some leg drive on them right? like a jerk with out the split??

Awesome job Wides!

Nautilus Ab Machine - 10 sets of 12, increasing weight each set (did a set, rested 10 seconds then did another)

No idea what the fuck happened today. 530 flew off the ground, happy with that, however lost the 570 at mid thighs when my back started to round, then the second set didnt come off the ground. No worries, would rather have this happen now then later. Went on did some accessory work to save the session.....legs come thursday

[Big Wides]

Thinking of using knee wraps when I squat this week to see if I like squatting in them and how my squat will be if I decide to use them come the end of the month down in DE. Figured to try them out a couple of weeks out and go from there.....need redemption from yesterday's piss poor pulling

[Pokoritel]

BW if you put on knee wraps I have no doubt in my mind you will smoke 600 lbs. I use them for my last set or two...your quads are gonna get hit real hard.

[Big Wides]

thats good to know.....might have to give them a try, if I cant hit depth then they're gone

[IRBS]

thats good to know.....might have to give them a try, if I cant hit depth then they're gone

You shouldnt have any problem hitting depth with knee wraps on...I can go ATG with wraps with only 135 on the bar...they wont hinder depth at all.

[Hoomgar]

Instead of griping the bar as normal, you just reverse your grip like a reverse grip pulldown. Hits the long head of the tricep well

Scary, I'll have to try that with reduced weight sometime to see how it feels. Thanks bro.

Well I don't know about the wraps, first set was a complete disaster, the second and third set went well and probably ran out of gas on the last set. Jury is still out whether or not I am going to use them. Felt weird as hell using them so I might just no wrap it at the meet and see how it all goes down. Did some accessory work to get extra work in. Well Juggernaut came back after 3 weeks off and its like he never skipped a beat. Was repping out 405 like it was nothing so it wont be long till he's throwing up big numbers. Chest on Saturday

[Big Wides]

Yes that is what I am chalking it up to, first time using wraps in about 6 years. The whole feeling just felt weird with the knees wrapped. I know I can do more as well, that is what was frustrating about last night but its all about getting used to the equipment that you use...if this was easy everyone would be a big squatter. On a positive note though the 545 felt not as heavy as it used to

I sense some growth goin on here...this is the kinda wo that's right up my alley...minus a couple hundred pounds on squats, wait..make that more than a couple hundred pounds, 545 is not human! LOL..but up my alley, LOL.

how you doin Big Man?

[IRBS]

Nice work Wides. Keep using the wraps. It took me several sessions to get used to them. Now I love them. I only use them on my heaviest sets, so my knees still do most of the stability work on their own as I work up, then wrap up on heavy sets. I would also just do a light wrap, until you get used to them. Dont crank them down yet.

[mjsef88]

Thanks IRBS, yeah that was my problem on the first set they were wrapped to tight. The best squat was done with the sloppiest, loosest wrap of the night. It will take me a while to get used to them but I am sure once I get the hang of it, then I can start to fully utlize them to their full potential. Took me a while to get used to squatting with a belt so I know things take time to adjust to

Big numbers buddy! Awesome job!

thanks bro, just trying to make the heavy weights feel light

[Hoomgar]

Solid heavy work Wides. Impressive for sure. It's good to see you got your training partner back too. Welcome back J :)

I guess if you can roll the heavy numbers without the wraps then don't use them? I know a few guys at my gym who squat 6pps and swear that the wraps make it worse to get the form right so they go without them. Just listen to your body and if the knee is talking to you, then wrap it please! maybe try wrapping a bit loser?

nice, im doing a meet next october. i wanna see if they hav teen divisions or not. i hope to hit a 600ish deadlift, 450ish squat and im not asking for much on the bench press cause im hurt now so if i can get back into it and maybe reach 300lbs, ill be happy!

[McFly]

did you or jugg wrap your knees? i've heard a lot of guys rather have someone else do it then try to do it yourself. my next meet, i will probably train with wraps to get used to them.


BTW they are suppose to be TIGHT lol

[Pokoritel]

Hey BW I also had a problem in the beginning. It took me like a month to learn how to use my belt....I made it so tight at times for a big lift and I just lost my breath. I didnt understand that you had to stick your belly out. I guess it all takes time. But I am positive your gonna hit a big one haha. Peace

Ok, well I wrapped my own knees which i know is a big no no but the last time i wrapped i did it myself....I probably much like your big self will start to add wraps into my training when apporiate to get used to them and learn how to use them. Yes I know they are supposed to be tight....or at least thats the rumor I heard

[LittleMan55]

Thing still look ridiculous in here! Knee wraps are trick creatures... I wrap on my own, because I lack a partner to assist with it.

Did I catch pop-tart eating intra work out a page or so back?

[JUGGERNAUT]

If Wides wraps presents like he wraps his knees, you would be able to tell what you were getting before opening.

I do not consume anything intra workout yet....so there is no Pop-Tart eating while I train. That would be deadly for me....I have trouble with gum and walking let alone pop-tarts and lifting

If Wides wraps presents like he wraps his knees, you would be able to tell what you were getting before opening.

I do not wrap presents, I throw them in bags and cover the top of them.....I am not a good wrapper yet, give it time

Went looking for openers last night, I feel comfortable with 530 so thats where it will start. With the 545 I think I was mentally shut off but a form issue was spotted by Juggernaut. Also this mutant on his last set pulled 405 for 5. The other work was done real slow and held the rep for a one to two count to get a nice squeeze so moderate weight was used. Putting the final touches into what I will be doing come Sept. 27, just gotta keep working and all will fall into place

good shit wides! i've been itching to get in that meet but know I'm not close to being ready.... 1700 raw total????

As for totals I havent given much thought as to what number I would like, I am just going to go out there, lift the weights give it my all and let the pieces fall where they want to.

Calf Raises - 6x12

The 350 bench was the smoothest its felt in a while with a pause on the chest....so theres the bench opener. The 365 moved off the chest, lost the arch midway and it went nowhere. The DB bench hammered home the idea to pause and fire everything at once. Juggernaut is working his way back with a vengance, making his mark on the comeback trail with each session.....prepping for big things to come

[Pizzalamp]

those pauses are brutal-makes 90 feel like 900

I ain't trying to hang with the big dogs yet but I am starting to lift and eat like them. Momma didn't raise no fool...

Big stuff up there Wides. You know that 350 for reps is yours. It's just a matter of time.

Hope thats good pain and discomfort and not something bad, which is never good. Last night was not about getting reps, it was all about finding that magical number to open with. Just laying down plans to build upon, cause without plans there would be chaos

For sure, chaos is the absence of planned organization. Oh and it's good pain bro, sending the right signals to the brain I hope.

Legs....9/10/08 at 8PM

Trained with Juggernaut

Squat - barx10, 135x10, 225x10, 315x8, 405x1, 495x1, 530x1, 545x1 (smoked it)
One Legged Hamstring Curls - 2x12
Hamtractor - 3x12, stackx12 on last set
Rev Hack Squats - 4ppsx10, 6ppsx9, 7ppsx5 *see below for this

Roman Chair - 5x10

On the last night of finding openers feeling damn good, it looks like its 545 was pretty damn easy. So my openers as of now are 545 on the squat, 345 bench, 530 on the deadlift....time to do some light work then rest up. Juggernaut hit a very nice 455 with ease tonight so he is back in full swing. As for the asterik, after a certain point in the session Juggernaut and I came up with some quality quotes that just simply puts what a leg session does to someone, these were all said after the 7pps set:

"Where the fuck am I?" - Wides

Juggernaut - "So Wides how did that feel?"
Wides' Response - Said no words but gave him two thumbs up

"I just burped up last week's dinner" - Juggernaut

"Haha, I am taller than you" - Juggernaut

"Walking like a pregant duck that had puppies" - Juggernaut

I am sure Juggernaut will fill some more in tomorrow

[Pizzalamp]

How bout this one Wides?... Intra-Aid- "it's even good by the serving spoon out of the can."

This is no lie and put into practice right away because I could not wait to add water and mix it.

Those lifts last night were total cake and actually kinda scary. Considering they were on like NO sleep too. Having fun being sore and eating tons today.....

- 2lbs of bison lasted me 3 meals
- chowed down to a decent sized pork loin last night and came away with no leftovers
- made some Real Gains Ice Cream, that lasted 15 minutes
- Ate a Stouffers family sized portion (what the box said) of lasagna because I was hungry
- Tried the Tuna Shake again and remembered why I stopped doing them

Thats it, got shoulders and arms tonight

It's Tuna, it's going to be fishy no matter what you do! Bleh, Tuna shake! Dear Lord Wides, are you trying to make yourself sick or what?

Other than that it all sounded good to me. I tubbed down 2 large bowls of Hamburger Helper with extra beef last night before bed. This morning was steak and eggs and then onto more mixed up things... Hungry again now? LOL!

First Tuna Shake I did I was 17, we had a PLer come in and help us get our lifting schedule and routines squared away. He talked about nutrition and all that stuff, he mentioned the Tuna Shake and said it was a fast way to get food in. Well my thinking was "He lifts heavy things pretty easily and he does, so why not?" Of course being young and stupid has its benefits, but being older and just as stupid does not

[Hoomgar]

but being older and just as stupid does not

I don't know Jim, it sure does provide for some good entertainment!

I am making some of that Real Gains Ice Cream dangit! I keep seeing you post that and keep forgetting to try it! I may do it with Just Whey first. mmmm Chocolate ;) LOL! I need to get me a gainer shake again now. It is time.
