Jwood wants to be a Juggernaut!

[BendtheBar]

I am loving carb back loading. My body seems to really like this, when I get done lifting I am just ready to eat. And then I feel great afterwards, recovery seems good. I will see how fat loss goes. I am pretty lean right now, and I would be happy to hold steady for a while and get some strength. Gonna feel this diet for a while, gonna try to keep doing it for a long time, it is very simple. No reason to stop it.

Glad to hear you like it. Where's your weight at currently?

Not really sure, I have not been on a scale for a while, but I think a little under 210 ish

Friday Night Training
Quick session got a little intense

Log Clean and Press
105x2x5
145x2x1
165x2x1
195x1
215x1
235 x miss, very close. Just could not finish the press, triceps were beat up
195x4 each rep cleaned and pressed, PR
Need to remember to push for heavy reps, helps with form and stamina. This set of 195 kicked my tail, but it was awesome. Forgot that yesterday was my heavy OHP day, whatever

Fat Grip Cleans
135 x a bunch of sets x 3 reps
Just messing around

Did some curls

Tomorrow is going to be front squats. I have to work tomorrow, we are starting a saturday rotation. I do not like it, just gonna ruin the weekend.

Working On Saturdays Sucks
Had my first saturday of our new rotation today. Just not what I want to do on a Saturday, then go back to the craziness monday. Did not get as much work done as I would have liked but its all good. Had a good training session

Front Squats
135x2x3
185x3
225x2 singles
275x2 singles
295 x 1, high
225x6, happy with this set
I like working up to a heavy single and then backing off. This may take over my training soon, but we will see.

Hack Squats!!
135x2x5
185x3
225x3
275x3
315x1
365x 3 singles!!! PR
These were easy, probably could have gone a lot heavier. But I am little nervous about the position these put my shoulders in, kinda pulled back and stretched. Feels really good on light weights, and blows up the quads!!

Light Good Mornings
Bar x a lot
95x2x 10
These were done bodybuilding style, feet close together and all the way down

Stiff Legged Deads as deep as possible
135x3x10
Awesome stretch

Finisher set of deads, 21s
7 x just to knee
7 x just below knee to finish
7 x full reps
Awesome!!

Good workout, but the next couple of weeks are going to be crazy! Not sure what kind of training I will get in. Life is just getting in the way this month. Had to rig up my cage tonight, so that I can bench on Monday night, eye doctors after work so it will be a late session at home.

Started Karbolyn today, really like the stuff. Will get my log started later tonight!!

Never tried those. Looks like some serious weight.

Strong front squat. Might have been high, but still some solid weight being moved.

Thanks steve!! Need to do front squats more often, it is not the squat but more holding the bar. Need to get my body used to the positioning again.

Hack squats are good, I think you would like them. Good way to hit the quads hard.

Time for some tire flipping!

[jwood]

Sunday Training! What a session!
Really killed myself on the tire today, did not have much left after that haha.

Tire
Warm up sets of 1 and 2 flips
1 set x max reps x 25 flips!!!!!!

This was one of the hardest sets of my life, borderline puking held it down. Last PR was 18 flips, plus 7 is nice. Very happy with this, especially since the tire felt heavy at the start. Just pushed through

Fat Grip Clean and Press
135x3, knew these were not going to be very good right away
155x1
185x1
205x1
215 x miss x 2
Had no chance at 215 today, grip and body was worn. Painful pumps in my lower back.

I think the Karbolyn really helped today. Usually on Sundays I just do a protein shake before I workout, but the shake and karbolyn was a much better combo. Felt like I had energy throughout the workout. Felt good, stomach felt more settled than usual.

25? Holy cow. Insane.

Thanks steve!!

Monday Night Bench Press
Kinda of weird evening, had to go to the eye doctors, so I trained at home. Really weird set up benching in the cage with my old bench, it worked but it was very tough to get set up so I am happy with my work.

Bench Press
135x5,3
185x3
225x3
255x1
275x6, ties a PR
235x5
255x5
315x 2 singles
The singles were not really pretty, it was tough for me to get any leg drive with my bench set up. So I am ok with it.

Pull Ups
BW x 10
BW plus 25 x 10, 7, 6
BW x 10

Dips
BW x 20
plus mini band x 12
plus light band x 10, 9
BW x 15
These killed me

Pull Ups
Did some extra sets of 8-10 with different grips in between my sets of dips

Pump Up Sets!!
Banded Tricep Pushdown light band x 2 x 20-30
Banded Row llight band x 2 x 20-30

Very happy with this session. I hit the numbers I needed to hit. Tomorrow back to the gym. Sometimes I think I am better off in my basement with limited equipment, I can only do simple movements. But I like going to the gym, maybe I will start doing more sessions in the basement, who knows.

Karbolyn was solid again. I really think it helps to actually settle my stomach. With no carbs all day pre workouts can make me feel weird, but as soon as the karbolyn hits my stomach I feel great. Tonight I had some crazy pumps going on, Karbolyn all the way!
