Squat: 150kgx3x10
BP: 2sec pause: 105x3x2, 115x3x2, 125x1 (1 sec pause)

My uni is holding a BP only competition in 4 weeks. I'm gonna go 3 weeks of only BP with the goal to hit 145-150 (rules are NO pause + toe only can touch the floor, so thats an aditional 5-10kg frm my usual lifting). With that weight I might beat everyone in every class, both in my faculty and the one in the capital, @ 80 kg bodyweight. My friend told there were a few huge pec only bro guys there that could bench 140 so it should be fun. That practice should help for nationals aswell (nov 24)

@Cambium + everyone else

Do you always press like that? It seems to me you are not starting from a dead stop (barbell on shoulders), though that seems harder to me than regular way. It's almost like a press from the rack lol.

Whenever I'm doing sets of OHP I usually rack the bar on my shoulders (sort of like the clean/front squat position) and go from there. ;p.

When you guys bulk, do you just eat whatever to jack your calories up or do you take care to cook it yourself, proper unprocessed, weighing etc? I found the biggest hurdle for me is to make my own lunch the day before to take to work. I'm just fucking exhausted at the end of the day, even making dinner is a chore, but to make it twice? Fuark me.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

This is really similar to what I do too lol. I also love to cook on the grill because it's pretty easy if you get a temp gauge and look up proper temps for meats. I'll usually cook 2 or 3 times as much as I can eat when I grill so I can warm it up later.

Another thing I love to do is grab a pre-cooked rotissery chicken from the store for like 6$ if I don't feel like cooking. That's quite a bit of delicious, ready to eat chicken for just 6$.

obviously its healthier to get your food from whole food sources. but if you want to eat a lot I think you have to make compromises.

I havent been able to go to the gym a lot this past few weeks (been there like twice in a month or so :/) due to university stuff. time to get back on the horse! started yesterday with squats (5-5-5@122.5kg), press (60kgx4, 55kgx5, 50kgx6) and weighted pull ups (25kgx4, 20kgx5, 20kgx5). lost some strength, especially in the squat hopefully it will come back soon! although I am still trying to cut fat. so it will probably take some time

If staying lean is a priority for you while bulking, then you should make your own food to bring to work and be pretty aware of the kcal you are ingesting.
I'm in the same situation as you in a way, but I always take care to cook my own food to bring to work as lunch. It's a super shitty 15minutes at the end of a long day where you're tired, but if it gets the results you want then it's worth it

I just find it easier on my wrists. When I do reps, I stop it there as well, instead of resting it on my shoulders.

I don't think I can even hold the bar in the press position on my shoulders. When I set up for the jerk I don't usually have my palm on the bar

Is there any benefit to do deadlift at a lighter weight for reps? I've been doing the SS method where I just add 10lb on every other workout but I'm getting nervous its getting to the point I'll aggravate my si joint again. I'm toying with the idea of lowering the weight a little bit and go for more reps until i feel more comfortable in my hamstrings/glutes ability. Solid idea or no?

Had to cut my workout short due to intense headache today. Also the first time I ever tried to do a powerlifting set up for the bench.

i dont really know anything about SS but i usually do 6-12 reps in deadlift for more "endurance" rather than low reps. When i do 1rm it tends to hurt my hand/wrist in my right arm

Use a belt, keep your core really tight. You should be fine. Foam roll the hip muscles around the SI joint. I messed mine up deadlifting 485 without a belt but since then i've pulled 525 without aggravating it. Just stop if you start to feel your form slipping.

This is a great point, I probably should have thought to add the belt. Thanks!

I never understood whats the point of using a belt for the Deadlift. If you properly grab your air and lock the core the belt shouldn't bring anything more for the back.

--------

Today I trained with my friend and collegue Jean-Jacques Barrett. He's a wbff pro model and a monster in the gym. Here are some vids of our kroc rows. Last of four sets. I used straps because my grip wouldn't have allowed me to hit 15 reps. JJ did it without any straps like a boss. Since we started training together our strength level went through the roof. I planned a template for our deadlift and we will max in two weeks if I remember correctly. His best pull is 525lbs. We both did 455lbs x8 two weeks ago and 485x3 last week. 485lbs wasn't a max rep tough.

+ Show Spoiler +

In details, I did:

Close grip overhead press: 135lbs x7,6,6,6

Kroc rows: 10,10,10,15 @ 140lbs
super setted with
Cross legs seated KB overhead press: 44lbs x10,10,10,10

Seated DB power cleans: 30x10,10,10

The extra intra abdominal pressure helps me keep my whole core tighter so my si joint doesn't bother me and when I'm doing heavy jerks (with my lanky body) keeps me a lot more stable. Also helps me stop from collapsing on heavy cleans. Especially when my back is tired from multiple lift/rugby sessions a week. But that's just me. I didn't use a belt at all for a couple years and I was fine but I like it now

Cleans and jerks I understand. But with Deadlifts you don't get much out of a belt...
