I left the gym a pool of my bodily fluids.

Sometimes I cum everywhere when I lift too. Try keeping a Sham-Wow in your bag.

3s DL today. That last set was alot easier than I had anticipated. I usually just hit prescribed reps on the 5s/3s week and go all out on 1s week. I probably could've hit like 6 or so on the 410 set.

185x5
230x5
275x3
320x3
365x3
410x3

Front Squats
155x8
180x8
205x6

I've also started incorporating rest-pause sets into my assistance work. Leg extensions, ham curls, and calf raises doing 50 reps each. Basically, you pick a weight for your 10RM, knock out those ten, wait 30 sec, go amrap, wait 30 sec, and so on until you hit 50 total.

I did back on Friday, but no deadlifting. I hurt my hip flexor roughly 10 weeks ago now. I saw the chiropractor about 3-4 weeks after the pain began. Well it's back full force. I called him last Thursday, I have an appointment on Wednesday but he said no deadlifting or squatting until I see him. He's a competing powerlifter which is nice because he really understand the issues that can come from heavy lifting. looking forward to having the pain issues resolved.

There's this one tard at my gym that sounds like he's shooting the money shots for porn every time he lifts. Everyone in the gym looks at him, and there's signs all over my gym that say "NO GRUNTING OR LOUD NOISES WHILE LIFTING", it's like the first rule in the gym.

Our gym doesn't have a rule against it, but if you truly understand the mechanics of lifting, exhaling and making all that noise actually makes you lose strength. I have lifted with professional bodybuilders and powerlifters, about the only time the yell and make noise is after a huge PR or crazy burnout set. Not during they actual lift.

Thanks for the push, did these on Friday at the end of my workout and I liked them. I'll toss them into the rotation.

Awesome man! I had a body come and lift with me for the first time. He wants to start packing on lean mass. I put him through a crazy back session and tossed these in. He text me yesterday and told me how he'd never been that sore on a back day. I love these things, think I'll start doing them twice a week. They hit the full trap region, rear delts and upper lats!

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

My wife asked me the other day why my traps look so big.....Ive been doing them once a week for 3 weeks. you want a monster neck/trap area boys, wide snatch grip high pull.......FOR REELZ

I usually have to work pretty hard not to laugh in my gym. For some reason we have a lot of noise makers........light weight+horrible form=loud noises. I have come to the conclusion that their philosophy is, "if I make enough noise maybe people will think this it's heavy and won't count the 'plate' i have on the bar".

OHHH. I already do this just to mentally prepare for doing snatches. Its sort of my warm up. I'll load up the weight this time and just do this. Thanks for the recommendation fellas. My traps are not where I want them to be.

Back day....BACK DAY!!!

There are some body parts that I have a hard time pushing beyond if you know what I mean. Legs for instance, takes all my mental capacity to really push myself. Not back, I abuse it, brutally like an unwanted red head stepchild. Want to look big, Back shoulders and neck, GO WRECK YOUR POSTERIOR CHAIN BOYS!
