"Spinal Extension" cue - slaying biznatches

Oh okay.

I understand.

Apologies for the "fuck wife" comment.
I thought that was perhaps a particularly malicious prank.

I'll practice it light and see what happens.
 
Alright let me log some shit.

Yesterday:

2 body weight circuits.
15 dips (applied spinal extension cue to these also - big improvement and bodily response)
10 handstand press ups - same as above
10 1 hand press ups each side
15 diamond press ups.

Squats

Work up to 130 kgs raw for sets of 6

130,to 160 weight belt and knee wraps - feeling great.

170 kgs for 2 reps - and I'm toast.

Quick set of sprints to finish.


Today:

One body weight circuit as above.

Romanian Deadlifts/sumo deadlifts - work up to 160 raw.

Belt and wraps - with belt for my slender frame is night vs day difference.

up to 200 kgs for 2 reps.

Feel I can push that to 210 but - little tired.
 
I've got the the worst fucking cold this last while.

I had exams over the weekend - which I failed - FUCK.

Still though - I must lift!

So I found - if I don't get a really deep deep breath in, to lock up my chest fully when bracing, I waiver when maxing out.

This often involves bumping the weight on my shoulders slightly, so all the air can gett in.

So I though I wouldn't hit 170 - but then I got a proper brace - and DID hit 170.

Amazing - these little things.


I also find, as I progress through the sets my depth does get a little lower.

Must tape the sets near the end.


Today -

1 - body weight circuit

2 - squats, up to 170

3 - power snatches, up to 70 kgs.
 
Tell me that's not a hairs breath off parallel.

I got temporarily distracted just before the squat, so, I think on the other sets I didn't tape, I can actually get a little lower.

 
Also - I was nervous without safety bars.

Must start doing them in the cage in future.
 
Looks like you're in a quarter squat before you even start.
 
Hit 175 kgs today - first time ever.

Is 200 kgs a common or uncommon weight for a someone who squats, not that often?
Just curious as, some dude told me he could squat 200, but then he says he doesn't squat regular?
 
I've taken my understanding of leg workouts, to such a higher level than where I was at before.

But in terms of slaying chicks - what I realized?

Having focused exclusively on legs/ass for the last, 6 months at least - that upper body - in another aspect, is pretty critical also.

Chicks love ass, no doubt.

But they love upper body too - no doubt.


So, yesterday - started building it back in.

Numbers are way down, considering I haven't done a single upper body lift in the last 6 months.

110 kgs on the bench for 4 - and I'm toast.

38 kgs muscle press.

28 kg bicep curls.

Then today - hit some cable flies just to try and limber out he stiffness.

Already I'm feeling the sexual energy coursing back into my body and muscles!
 
I've also slightly fucked my elevator scapula somehow.

Causing me pain - especially during wrastling.

I'm hoping bringing the upper body back into the routines will help loosen out that spasm.
 
Building back in the upper body work now.

Funny - I hit 205 kgs on deadlift today, first time.
Cycled up through the weights more quickly, so I had more in the tank for the max rep.

But, in any case, upper body slowly coming back.

90 kgs C and J.

110 kgs on the bench - this feels heavy. I could do 125 fairly smoothly before.

30 kg dumb bell bicep curls.
 
Inverse cable flies have really mended up that rotator cuff area injury also.
 
Bench is slow coming back - kind of stuck at 110 kgs.

I apply that "spinal extension" cue to all other lifts though and, it's working out great.

Bicep curls going well.

I guess it'll take a while to build back into the upper body workouts.
 
Somehow this is becoming my favorite log

I probably shouldn't be encouraged but - now that you've gone and done that - maintaining upper body.

Fighting amateur boxing next weekend so, trying to focus primarily on cardio for the next few days, after banging out a couple overhead presses, a couple clean and jerks.

Sparred a taller opponent couple nights ago - just could not get inside.
So - been drilling the overhand right emphatically.

And defending uppercuts - working on keeping the elbows tighter together.
 
120 on the bench today.

40 kg bicep curls.

Nice improvement on last week.
 
Building back into a full program - upper body as well as legs - it's gonna take some figuring out.

So, today - no body weight like usual to start.

Instead, straight into dumb bell press's - up for 45 kg bells.
Then bicep curls, up to 40 kg.

Felt toasted after this, so hit some leg press, up to 380 kgs of plates.

Then finished with some overhead press at 70 kgs.


Yesterday, benched up to 120 kgs.
C and J's up to 90 kgs - felt like passing out with each one, for some reason.

Then tried squats and RDL's but - weren't happening.

So finished with some cable flies.


Possibly will be just a time period of figuring out how to mix the upper and lower body correctly - cause I'm at a point now where, I don't want to neglect either one.

At one stage it was all upper body and no ass.
Then all ass and no upper body.
