Usual 3 times Gym sessions, 2 nights of football, then to top it all off i swam 1 mile in like 40 minutes... first time i've been swimming in like over a year! But seriously, i'm eating like a horse to the point where i feel ill, yet cannot put weight on. Only so much milk and food you can eat.. ideas? (Cutting ALL cardio seems like a sin) Oh.... screw benches with my broken shoulder.... | ||

(Cutting ALL cardio seems like a sin) Oh.... screw benches with my broken shoulder.... either cut cardio or eat more. simple as that. so, today I was supposed to deadlift 190kgx2 (coan/phillipi week 8). first rep went pretty smooth, but my legs failed me on the second rep  took a 5 minute break and went for it again, this time with a belt. again, first rep was ok, but on the second rep the bar wouldnt even move.. so, now I have done a total of 2 reps with 190kg but not in one set.. should I continue with 195kgx1 next week or re-do week 8? | ||

If it makes you feel any better I've been failing my 80x5x3 bench but I can deadlift 175x5. I'd trade you any day my DL for your squat though, my hips/knees/ankles are so fail I can't get below parallel without serious pain. Hahah thanks man!. Squat and Deadlifting are such powerful exercises. btw, my jeans and shirt won't even fit today wtf is going on.On February 27 2012 18:45 billy5000 wrote: speaking of anna, does anybody feel motivated to workout when you see a 5'2" hottie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HH9aIHMfpw doing ?

Might've just had a bad day and doing another heavy week with all the accessory work could possibly mess things up more than help you imo. I drank tons of water, slept for 10 hours and ate a lot on my 4th week, 180kgx2 felt way easier than the 160kgx2 i pulled yesterday because I was like "deload week, whatever". | ||

That you managed to do 1.5 reps two times in a session makes it clear that you are ready for some more action. week 8 is the brutal motherfucker that makes your gains. | ||

I'd like to thank you again for this post. Using it today on deadlift was amazing, couldn't believe my grip. Grip strength as it turns out really isn't an issue for me as long as I'm using it, was limited only in all the places I should be. I used to use a powerball a lot so I guess that helped. If anyone else isn't allowed to use chalk at their gym I recommend liquid chalk. Just use lots of water to get it off, it's quite easy to dissolve it all in water then as your hands dry the chalk comes out again. | ||

Both have a good carry-over, most often you want to focus on and feels better / more natural. Rotating them can be beneficial, as is deloading the weight before ramping it up again. @Zafrumi: Just do some active recovery stuff, light walks, hot baths, massage, foam rolling, etc. | ||
