Easy day

GHRs
1x10
+15lbs x5x5

Rope abs
5x

Spent some time working on my hips. Probably should've worked on my quads. Easy bodybuilding upper body Tuesday then minimum two full off days. 2-4 off days before my next squat session. 385x2+ is the goal but I may just hit it for a couple singles or up second set to 395.

Kind of in a rush already. Want to hit 405 with a full deload week then get back to the volume work

Fellow belt squatting bro. I must be the biggest dumb **** of all time. I have access to jerk blocks, dip belts, multiple chains and I still can't figure out how to set this up without:
1. chaffing my legs
2. racking my balls
3. having the plates turn and twist.

Please halp as I need j00cier quads.

Best set up I used was hanging the dip belt off a regular belt that's worn loose. And use KBs if you have. If not then you can shorten the chain to try and have the plates move less. Just adjust the clip

Called it. Should've known it was gonna be bad when 205 felt heavy and I needed to hit that for three sets before moving up.

Unintended deload day. Hitting your 5rm non max effort weight for a hard single is fun

Cramping after second set so no GHRs

Good morning

Burnt out on heavy dubs and kinda want to get back on the volume train. Took it easy because idk what my split is gonna be like.

Monday off day but so damn hot at home with no AC. Chances are I'll be in the gym 5-7x a week smh good bye strength for now. In the past my FS has been 90% of my HBBS so gonna give it its own day and try to get to at least 85

I really like doing GHRs but I guess I gotta do em first or maybe on a pull day and hope I don't cramp.

Actually did 5x5 with 275 and 5 triples with SLDL. Didn't fix my notepad before copy pasting.

A random goal I have now is 275x10 x5. I don't mind working with lower percentages for the time being with squats

Surely at peak levels where you hit 315 for x7 or something you were not that far off? And can get there again

My triceps are getting stronger (for rope pushdown anyway). Using 30lbs more than I started with. Same with facepulls. Idk if it's beneficial really but it's sets of 15+ so...

Gotta stop benching heavy. I hardly ever have a spotter though. At least I didn't slap on 315. Close to my goal of 20 reps ��

Have I ever suggested invisible board presses? Those would be good for pec rehab if you dont have real boards or spotters. Just bring the weight down to about a 2 or a 3 board (3 - 4.5") off the chest, stop and press.

Yea I'm just stubborn re: fake board press. So far no problems with inclines though.

3/19

Beltless today to limit weight. Feeling like I might get sick so didn't do too much. Also weight just moving down without trying. Down 4lbs in a week from average of last couple months

Paused HBBS
225
245
275 @7ish
225x5 x3

Tempo paused FS
155x3
185x3 x2
175x3

Suitcase hold
95lbs x8-15 seconds lol... x5 sets

Rope abs
3x

Cable row
5x

DB curls
3x

Gonna try to get the suitcase hold up as high as I can for 15+ seconds to solve grip issues. Had zero problems with 405 no chalk a couple weeks back though.

Light push downs and facepulls to warmup

Wanted to hit DB first/only but benches were taken

Military press
155x5 x4
155x10 @7

Seated DB shoulders
50s x15
50s x12 @9
50s x12 @8.5

Incline DB
(for some blood flow)
20s x15
30s x8 x2
(Held last rep each set for a stretch)

Rope upright rows
5x

Facepulls
5x

Side laterals
3x

Felt a lot better than I did yesterday as far as sickness. Also got two sets of DB shrugs with only 70s. I may do these every now and then under the guise of grip work. Pretty much never hit traps directly

Paused comp Incline
205
235
255
225x10 @7.5
225x8 @8
225x7 @8.5

25 reps over 3 sets isn't too bad for me but I wanted 30. I want 15+ with 275 paused over three sets eventually. I got up to 265 before I took a long break to rest my right pec.

Wide TNG incline
185x8

165x8
all @7-8

Facepulls
3x

Hammer strength high row

Hammer regular
3x

Cable one arm
3x

DB curls
3x

Had every intention just of doing upper back and curls but I waited 10 minutes and all the back stuff I'd do was taken so I benched.

No more pressing until Saturday. Taking Wednesday off so no excuses for Thursday HBBS session.
