My own lifts were something like 4-4-4 60kg and a 3 70kg squat. I really have no idea what the hell their trying to achieve with their programming. Its called alternative hypertrophy training with something like 80% but really their trying to go near 100% everytime. Deadlifted last tuesday 125 kg, and today I was kinda tired so I ended up doing 110 and quit after that. Fuck Chin Ups, I need to start my own program at home to get consistant training. | ||

For chin ups I follow this little program (from LRB), it has worked quite well. Week 1 Weighted Chins - 5,4,3,2,1,1,1 1x3-5 back off, 1xbodyweight for max reps Week 2 Bodyweight Only Chins - 5-7 sets of 5 Week 3 Lat Pulldowns (use the same grip you have been using for your chins) - 5-6 sets of 6-10 Week 4 Repeat cycle | ||

Sometimes I can do 3 but then no followup without long rest. On another note, I remember asking this question before but calluses are so fricking annoying. Should I get some chalk or whats the best idea? I am using the grip technique advised by Ripptoe, but I am still getting torn a caluss. | ||

Oh, to start from scratch try doing a set of as many as you can do with more or less strict form then do jumping chin ups once your arms/back give up (jump as much as you need to get yourself up to the top position then work on the negative). So your sets would probably look like 3 strict chin ups then 3-4 negatives. You'll get stronger this way. The calluses are something you'll just have to learn to live with haha. Shave them off from time to time and get a good hand moisturizer if you wish. As long as you lift you will continue to get them. Chalk works wonders for your grip but you'll still get calluses.

EDIT: after re-examining SS it seem like I'm not using my glutes right, knees too far forward... Gonna try curling the toes and see what happens.. Still not sure why this hasn't happened to me before, I probably just messed on a couple reps or something. I wish there was a side mirror I can look at to make my lower back doesn't get all rounded up at the bottom. | ||

Any idea what might be causing this? I'm keeping my back perfectly straight and I'm not leaning forward. Is it because I'm not using my glutes in the squats or something cause they're never as sore as my quads.

I wish there was a side mirror I can look at to make my lower back doesn't get all rounded up at the bottom. Foam roll your hip, possibly ice it and use ibuprofen if necessary. Go in on your off day and do some LIGHT squats for high reps (40-50% of max). Usually all I need to do to keep muscles loose. If you're having trouble activating your glutes in the squat, try doing glute bridges (they were just mentioned in the general thread, and there's a good T-nation article about them) or GHRs to activate those muscles. Todays lift: (should be begun with 195 lbs squat, 5x5. Can't do it, too tired from practice) OHP 110 lbs 3x5 Push Press 125 lbs 3x3 Klokov Press 45 lbs 3x10 Dumbbell Rows 55 lbs 5x10 | ||

I did 405lbs x14 repetitions. I'm pretty happy with that since my best at that weight when I pulled 515lbs was 10 repetitions. Muscle-wise, I think I'm as strong as ever. What's next is an intensification phase where I will hopefully turns these gains into neuromuscular synchonisation potential for further PRs. | ||

Thanks :-D It was the second event of a CF competition in Amager strandpark/Butcher's Garage Valby Awesome day. It was a team competition only - I competed in the men's elite division. The workouts were: WOD1: 200 m. swim 2k run in sand 100 chest to bar pullups 200 hand release pushups (lift hands at bottom) 400 airsquats Divide the reps between the team, everyone do the swim and run. Time: 26:17 WOD2: 15 min. for all 3 to establish a 1 RM snatch 100 kg, huge pr and 1.3x BW :-D WOD3, immediately following WOD2: 3 min. C&J with 80/70/60 kg. Person A C&J's 80 kg. for 3 min, then immediately switch to person B who works with 70, then person C with 60. Got 27 reps with 70 kg., nice WOD4: Finale Each competitor had to do 8 min. of 1 of three different 'Hero' workouts: Nate, Carse and Jeremy (find them on CF.com if you want to) I got 'Nate' which consists of 2 muscle ups, 4 handstand pushups, 8 kettlebell swings (32 kg.) Got 9 rounds and 1 muscle up in 8 minutes and won the workout, yay :-D Great day. I hope to get some pics of the day so I can show you guys. | ||
