Killer workout at uconn gym, Front Squats (135, 185, 205, 225 x 5), (245 x 3), (265 x 1), Back Squats (155, 185, 205, 225 x 3), Clean, 145, 185, 205, 225, 235. 235 being a new PR.

Come on, man. You know everyone on the Internet is fa as shit.

Doom bros, doubly so.

Good OLY Sunday today.

Hang Snatch doubles from the knee and power position (like right below the hip crease) at 115#

Hang Clean doubles from the knee and power position both up to 185#, failed a single at 205#. Failure since I touched my elbows against my knees at the bottom position even tho i brought it up. Almost had that shit.

Then some Pendlay Rows but cut it short since my shoulders and upper back were getting beat.

this is one of my fav ankle mobility things, Donny Shankle narrating his training. We do this fairly often at OLY.

Dude has the deepest voice as well, comes across as quite philosophical at time. He is on the recovery after a dislocated shoulder. Back about 1-1.5 years ago he was a 105 kg lifter killing it in the US.

I think for max mobility. No that's not ideal foot position but it's great for ankle and hip mobility

I wish I could hit that position with bare feet. I gotta work that shit every day

Ass to grass but barely below parallel

Same at uconn. Ppl barely get to parallel

man i havent been to the gym in 10 days. Ive been stretching and doing a bit at home but thats it. Shit sucks being too busy with shit and having car trouble.

Yeah I've been to the gym once in the last three weeks and it sucks. Vacation (didn't suck) and now fighting a head cold. Feeling weak as shit.

Alright im going to start the Vid DOOM work out next time I start going to the gym regularly.

A
Deadlift 4 sets of 3 reps
Shoulder Press - 4 sets of 6 reps
Pulldowns - 4 sets of 6 reps
Curls - 3 sets of 8

B
Squat - 4 sets of 5 reps
Bench 3 sets of 6 reps
Push Ups - 3 sets of 10 reps
Rows - 4 sets of 5 reps

Going to try and still go 3 times a week in the AM before work. On my "rest" days i want to start doing some kind of cardio. When the weather is nice, i'll go running with my dogs but I need to figure out something to do indoors if going outside is not an issue.

What do ya think Vid?

3 repping at 85%

vidret wrote:i don't know how well you nail the techniques, for example the deadlift you said 4 sets 3 reps, that oughta be pretty hard work. if you can do that without dropping technique, go for it. this will all depend on what weight you choose compared to what you can handle basically. choose wisely

also, i'm not big on curls, but if you want to do them, do them. make sure to switch to pullups when you can handle pulldowns at a heavier weight! go crazy.

I am planning on switching to pullups once I can actually do one but im currently not able to. Whats up with the straight bar curls?
My 1 rep max on dead lift last time I tried it was like 285, so should I do like 1x5 or a 1x3 at around 240 (85%)? Plus a warm up beforehand?
How'd everything else look?

I was only saying 85% as a quick value. If you have not deadlifted in a bit you might have to feel it out. Start at like 135 and do 3-5 reps move up repeat

Usually when I warm up I work up somewhat close to my lifting weight.
So say im doing 205 in the squat. I'll do 10 empty - 3 at 135lbs - 3 at 185lbs then do my full 5x5 at 205lbs.

Cool, Im gonna try your work out sans the straight bar curls. I was doing strong lifts 5x5 so it'll feel odd not to squat at every session! haha.
