Quagmire911 Lifting Journal

[I-tallionStallion]

Just a quick update:

The four levels were low, marginally low, marginally positive, and positive. I would put myself between marginally low/marginally positive. I had more than just the marginally low symptoms, but I didn't think it was quite enough to say marginally positive. Marginally positive was a definite taste which intesifies

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Now try to say that fast

 

[JohnnyIrish]

I find it Funny/Ironic.. Your putting something in your mouth and your 'hoping' its going to taste like sh1t.

Seriously though way to be dedicated to your health/growing/becoming Quag. You sir set a great example.

Hey, I ran into this Dr. Mercola site and this Dr lists what to look for when seeking a good multi from a vendor and thought it might help ya (the site looks cheesy but he sounds legit/informative).

Will look into it, thanks.

Monday

Did some plyo squatjumps yesterday along with some one legged squats. 3x6 and 2x5 I believe. Anyway, today went pretty well, here it is:

Overhead press 55kgx6 PR 60kgx7 PR -Pretty good going on this. Didn't think I was capable of this much. Got a video, but can't be f***** loading it right now.

Chinups BW+13.25kgx5x3 PR-Failed on the 4th near the top on the second set. Got a video of the first set, although again, I can't be f******* loading it.

CG bench 70kgx10 75kgx8 (PR?)-Pretty sure this is a PR.

Pressups 1x10-Just for shoulder health.

Rows 60kgx5x6-Don't know what happened. May just have died from the previous work.

Couldn't be f****** with GPP, although I got wrecked running for a train later on.

That is all for today. Until next time...

Good job. You rocked your lifts today. Can't wait to see the these kick a$$ lifts.

 

[Warboss Alex]

That's a nice workout Quag. Your pressing looks real strong!

 

[JohnnyIrish]

Heyyy.... does this mean Warboss is back?
(or have I been blind and he has been back I just haven't noticed..)

 

[Warboss Alex]

Just checking up on friends Johnny. Thanks for asking.

 

[Quagmire911]

Good to see you made it on. Will check the emails shortly, got another video for you to look at it. Although I will post it below.


Wednesday

Bloody long time coming. F***ing yes. You know what that means! Here it is:

Squats-125kgx1 137.5kgx1 (302.5lbs) PR 140kgx0-F********** yes. The 137.5 felt great coming out the rack, and coming out of hole I knew I had it. The 140 didn't feel great, and I missed it. I reckon I would have done the 140 if it had been the first attempt, but I couldn't give a f***. Been waiting to do this for a long time, and all it took was going low bar. Now I must do 400+. Great stuff, here is the video:

Good mornings 82.5kg 3x8 PR-Good.

Hyperextensions 20kg 2x10

Side bends 10kg 3x5-Murder on the obliques.

That was all. I will update later with that overhead press video/chinup video and some grip work.

So, 200 and 300 have fallen. Now 400 on the deadlift must fall. I actually thought it would happen 4/3/2, instead it will be 2,3,4. I think the deadlift should be close. Mark Rippetoe pointed out why he thought I was still jerking out of position with the higher weights, so we will see how it goes (next week?) when I next try it. Pretty f***** happy about the squat, great to have done it.

Will update later,

Quagmire

Great Job Quag...Nothing beats meeting goals. Form looked good. Now lets see you pull 400!!!!

 

[Quiksilver]

In that vid you were looking down man, keep that chin up!

 

[Quagmire911]

I know I was looking down, this was deliberate. Rippetoe teaches it to maximize hip drive. Looking at a spot 5-6 feet infront.

Thank you Stallion.

Anyway here is the other stuff:

Grip training:

COC No.2 R 1x2 1x3 PR L 1x1 1x1 PR -Good good. Think I will grease the groove with this over the next while. Was close to getting more reps on every set.

Door grabx2-Think I will start doing a onehanded version. Pinch grip has come on well.

I forgot to put in earlier that I did speed deadlifts 5x1.

Here are the other videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iasL3LTofVw -Chinups

That is all for today, tommorow will be some cardio and maybe some pylo pressups. My right shoulder got jarred the other day (non lifting related) and is feeling a bit funny. I will see how it is. Until next time...

Start bringing your hips forward faster on the squat so you don't end up lifting it up in a bit of a good morning stance.
Good otherwise.

I like your overhead pressing too, good stuff man, looking strong.
Nice one on the CoC grippers too.

 

[Lifeforce]

Good job on the personal bests man. Overhead presses looked a little shaky on but still strong. Try flexing your abdomen a little, it helps me to get more stability and better contact with the anterior deltoids.

 

[Fuglydude]

Congrats on the progress bro! Great form on the squat...Like I do with everyone, I'm gonna suggest incorporation of heavy front squats to help out with your DL!

Keep it up!

 

[Quagmire911]

Thanks for the input guys.

Just an update. Didn't do the plyo pressups the other day as the shoulder wasn't great. It is getting better day by day however so it should be fine. I may deload on Monday if I feel the need, not sure yet. Those side bends the other day absolutely killed my sides.

Anyway, until Monday...

Here you go:

This shows onefront/oneback/onefront. What I tried was only onefront/oneback and failed miserably.

Thanks. I was slow getting back to this thread. I didn't even know that exercise was possible but now that I do, I'll train myself at them, too.

Sunday-Upper deload

Right shoulder still isn't 100% and it has been a while since I took it easy, plus this week has been bad for drinking. So, I deloaded. Here it is:

Bench 65kg 2x5-This felt pretty heavy. Don't know what it was, maybe the drinking this week and the f****** shoulder all in one. I also wasn't "feeling it" today so to speak. Always hard to on a deload.

Chinups 2x5-BW

One arm oh press-17.5kg 2x8

Rows 60kg 2x5-Need to check form on these, somthing doesn't feel right.

Pressups 2x10

Core static hold-20kg plate for 5-10sx2

And that was it. Shoulder is getting better by the day and should be 100% in a few days. Not sure if I will go heavy on Wednesday or not, will see how I feel and deload if it is merited. I really want to find a new gym or get the money for a home gym, the one I am at is terrible. Words can't describe it.

Anyway that is all for today, until next time...
