Still got a mental block when I start gettin' up there in continuous reps. My right arm felt like the circulation was gettin' cut off about rep 6 today, and I remember feelin' that a lil bit (altho not as much) on Monday... Very little rest between sets.
Ended with stretches in the sauna & steam room, contrasted with a cold shower a few times.

This team is full of noobs... I mean 600+ pound box squats? Losers

I think it's safe to say, "700+ pound box squats."

FYI.

 

[Ascendant]

John, are you following a particular program, or just trying to work super hard each time you're in the gym?

As to the arm numbing problem, you might try moving your hands out towards the collars. That usually helps the circulation issue.

[mungos]

that's probably why routines like this end up with people injured.

train smart, mungos. either stop complaining and make the correct form, or sacrifice the lift and do some recovery. listen to your body--you know this.

easier to prevent injuries than to repair them.

Last time I pushed through this feeling, I ended up pulling my lower back.

Rest your back man...2 weeks minimum.

Thanks guys, advice is appreciated.
I'm going on a holiday tomorrow, so I will have at least a week off.

Right now, I'm tryin' for basically a Squats & Milk (20 rep squats 'til ya hurl, chins/dips/situps to failure) type routine. I had been doin' more or less a 5x5 for awhile, but it seemed that my squats had plateaued, so I figured some more volume, a lil more bulk, and a squat centered program wouldn't hurt.

I thought that I had my hands out pretty far, and never had problems before, but I'll try to spread 'em a lil more next time and see if that helps.

I still blame a bit on that stomach bug I had last week. It completely sapped my strength then, and apparently I haven't regained it all yet.

Either that or you're drinking a littleeeee too much milk.

For beating up on thebeast1234854, and posting his awesome PM. And cause Standard likes me a whole lot.

I guess I should have read Fatty's competition thread before asking again.

Decent day today. I got all Zerocrew and busted out the camera. The 380 felt a little slow but the strength was there and I could have ground out another. This is the most weight I have ever handled without a belt. My raw squat max is projecting around a 450 right now, so when I throw the belt on for my intensity block starting next week I would like to hit a 475 for a 30 pound PR. I typically get at least 5% out of the godzilla hide. SLDL were a little ugly because my core was so fatigued from squatting, but whatever. I bumped the weight up 5 pounds on front squats but they still felt pretty easy. Now that I know what I am doing on the rower, I cranked up the damper and hit an 18 second PR, lol.

 

[graedy]

Yay! Sweet dreams! I love that song.
Nice squatting. If you want you can post a vid of about 30secs of you rowing so I can give you some hints on form (you can't really do much wrong - the highly techniqual aspect of rowing comes in to whe rowing in an actual boat - but still I am quite sure that some improvemnts can be made)

 

[Donut62]

I'll film some of it next time. I'm willing to bet it looks like a retard trying to hump a door knob.
