330x3
425x1

Work sets:

Rest of the workout follows as lower back, hamstring and hip accessory exercises.

Feeling pretty good, lol.

I'll try to film some next week.

I compete in the 220 class (even though I'm about 210) in deadlift only. For my weight class im in the lower tier for strength, lol.

I despise benching the most while squats are too judgmental; one ref will say its ok, while the two others say no. That's why I compete in the deadlift, you either get it up or don't.

I think I'm getting better lol...

I am slowly getting better at these. This was my 4th of 5 sets. I do 5 sets of 8. I am doing these movements to build what's needed so that I can do pull-ups & Chin-ups soon....

I'm guessing these will help quicker than assisted pullups? as you're using you own weight and working all the muscles needed in negative reps?

pullups on my short list of goals, used to be able to do them all day long, now can't do one

I actually saw one "guide" say just hang to help get your arms used to the weight of your body... might be worth mixing it up... drops with 3-5sec hangs....

all in all.... awesome videos.... shows there are always new ways to press on and push ourselves

I am too tall to use it & have tried since my gym has one. This is one movement that I know if I keep at it I will eventually be able to do one way or another. And once I can, look out!

Diet...

I generally go to the gym early in the morning & go on an empty stomach. Then after the gym I eat a nice big meal so that my body absorbs the nutrients. Shortly after the meal I drink a protein shake. I am considering having something before my work-out to see if it helps, hurts, ect...


To the gym goers, What is your diet routine prior to going to the gym?

 

[FSXlover]

I wake up at 4 am, eat a nature valley bar and go to the gym. Directly after the workout out I drink protein and eat some cereal.

Usually 8oz of chicken with 4 pop-tarts.

After is usually 12oz of ground turkey or lean beef with rice and whichever sauce I decide to use at that time.

Pop Tarts because of the calories/sugar? Or just because...
