(Hail)Team Hydra Log

I worked out Sunday morning but then didn't log anything or train for days while lamenting the Cowboys loss (Drinking and stuff) lol...

Sunday :

Squat: 225 3x5

OHP 135 3x5

Pull-Ups To Failure x 3


Yesterday, Back on track!

Magic 50 from II With a 30lb DB

50 Snatches
50 Swings
50 Burpees

I could handle more weight, but damn Infinite Intensity is tiring as hell. Getting my cardio back is a bitch but it's gonna be well worth it.

Got the news I was hoping for with my 5 month check in with the surgeon. The essentially 8 rep weight maximum is gone. Can do anything that doesn't affect range of motion, as they don't want that under heavy load. So essentially anything with proper form so normal lifting lol (and yes, I clarified with the pt this is what she meant.)

Plan is to start lifting again Monday. I'll start with my 3x8 weights for press and bench from before coming home from college. Then being more aggressive with the weight increases and lowering the reps when I need to until I'm back at 3x5 and then slowing the increments to 3-5lbs/week.

Congratulations man! Health problems are the worst. Getting back to training is the best! You'll be back to general badassery in no time. Enjoy the grind sir.
 
Had some great coaching on catching my jerk yesterday and managed a 5kg PR with 85kg. Didn't manage to film it because I didn't think to take my phone, didn't imagine I'd be going for PBs.

Hopefully I'll get a vid next week.

Happy OHing everyone!

Thank you sir:)

Dude your back is rounding on those squats. All the tension and arch you have at the beginning of the lift goes away as you descend. Your torsoe should remain rigid throughout the lift. Look at the screen cap of the first video, I think your pelvis should be rotated more anteriorly at the bottom.

Thanks for the feedback. I will start to squat as deep as I can keep a straight back at least.

I agree with ssdd. You're losing a lot of tension getting into the hole and you're back rounding. I'm by no means an expert but I got injured doing the same thing you are doing. We just want you stay healthy and keep getting strong man! Are these HB squats?

Again, thanks for the comments. As I said before I will tweaking my depht in order to not round my back. Yes I do HB squats. It is a habit I picked up when training in the weightlifting club
 
Path to Redemption:

Squat: 225 3x5

Bench: 195 3x5

Pullups: 3x 12 (Jacked my foot up at Jits so I Decided to rest it instead of Power Cleans today)

Lately i've been eating at a fairly substantial calorie deficit (and kinda crappy) and I feel like my energy levels are way down. I'm going to start up Precision Nutrition style eating again and get back up to 3000 plus calories of the right stuff. Headed to the grocery store now.

Can't slack off in any area, gotta get my diet straight.
 
From Friday

Notes:
The changes I made for this training session in regards to my squats are the following: I recorded all my sets and reps. I didn't squat as deep as usually. Lastly my focus was to stay as tight as possible and to descent as slow as possible. The results are promising(at least I think so :))SOHP were ok. Deadlifts were fine too. My right bicep is still bothering me when I use mixed grip for my second working set. I included the two working sets from the squats and the last set from the deadlifts.

Morning weight- 176.4 (Nice to see a lot of bloat coming off as I get done with the sweets)

Strict overhead Press 65x8 and 85x8 for warmups, 3x5 @ 115lbs for work. Warmups felt easy, so I jumped to the 35s on each side and was pleasantly surprised that it felt good.

Pull-ups burnout- 10,6,4 This sucked. Aw well

Bench assistance- 8 reps @ 135, 3x5 @205

Pendlay barbell row- 5 reps @ 115. 3x5 @145

Did some shoulder stabilty work from rehab as well

A 6 rep max of 115 is a 135 one rep max on the calculator KT. I think I could also do an actual max next week if needed. But in fairness sake, can I get my max changed to 135? I didn't get stronger from those 2 hungover dumbell sessions in the hotel, and probably shouldn't have posted them as they were poor indicators at all. I could have gotten 7 or 8 no problem on my first set of 115, so 135 would be the low end of what I could actually do.

If you wish, I will change your Starting Max to 135lbs. I don't want us to be accused of sand-bagging.

When am I able to get an avatar? Is it yellow belt? Because I miss having one and i'd be keen to throw down a sweet winter soldier Av.

Not sure. Have you tried to get an Avatar?

I think if you go Plat, you get an Av no matter what Belt you are.
