FakeBusto's quest for real strength - Page 183

I just accidentally typed comp squat when i sent him the first week and i've been copying and pasting every week. But, some people have comp squat as either with belt or belt and wraps if you compete that way and they will have squat as no belt or belt depending on if they squat with wraps. I dont do it that way tho

Oh heh.

Weasel/saw/not loco,

Thoughts on close grip bench? Should I change my form? How so? Etc.

Regardless, I think we can agree the less thought fakebusto puts into his routine, the better things are going to go.

Weasel, see what other funny things you can slip into next week's schedule and we'll see if he'll actually do them.

ETA: I think I would suggest elbows more tucked (and possibly hands closer together to help facilitate that, it's hard to tell), but I'll ultimately defer to the experts.

I think bringing in your elbows will target the triceps more. No one else really commented on it so probably not a big deal.

Comp anything is geared up exactly how you would perform the lift in competition, as weasel mentioned. Mike T uses a lot of variants and programs explicitly with and without belt, so it adds clarity. I have got lazy and since all benching unless specified is competition paused then "Bench Press" = "Competition Bench Press".

Monte,

You joke, but if Weasel's programming=gains, surely we can all keep an open mind

I just saw that cgbp video. Good luck with that. The bar path is probably not funny at all. It's probably pretty close to straight down and up. My elbows started hurting doing that. I touched lower, more tucked and now it's fine. Cgbp back in the rotation.

Man lol. Weasel's routine is like magic. Woke up this morning fatter than ever. Wasn't going to post because I'm sure no one cares but me, but whatever, this log is for me.

Tale of the tape

1/17
3 count bench
255x3, 275x2 (+f) (pr), 265x2

Here I was feeling like a failure, then I went back and checked Weasels email for this week's programming. My reading comprehension is ****ing terrible. Please tell my employer to fire me. Three reps??? Only supposed to be two. PR achieved!

Still might have been too heavy. Programming philosophy is that each set should leave at least one rep left in the tank.

Comp bench
195x7x5

Squat
260x6x3, 260x6 (+4=10)

Whatever. Left some in tank. Wasn't hard, just slowing down.

Face pulls, chins, hanging leg raises, C2

Life is good. WIM.

I tell your employer to fire you on like a semi-daily basis. Surprised you still work there.

I'm still waiting on my end of year evaluation. Perhaps the good word you put in for me will get me fired yet. Thank you in advance.

Man that 3 count 275 doesn't look like the pause was long enough. Ban fakeB.

I'll start putting the reps in bold and a bigger font. Guess the red is too subtle

I think it's the numbers next to each other. 3 count next to x2. Maybe write "triples" or "doubles" instead. Of course I will write it as "x2" or whatever for the nits reading this log.

I think you should move your grip out half to one fingers width.

And it surprises me not at all at your failure to count to three.

It seems like your comp bench is too narrow and your close grip isn't narrow enough

I await Weasel to confirm or deny any advice on my grip width

I asked you earlier if you tried wider and you said ya but it hurt your shoulders so I left it at that.

What is your comp width currently relative to the 810mm competition markings? Regardless, I would prefer to see vertical forearms at the bottom.

Weasel,

I'll try out a different grip width of you like tho. Wider for comp, closer for cg?

Aidan,

You mean the rings? My pinkies are at the inner edge of the rings. How do i alter my forearm position into lockout?
