I can see the muscle memory is doing its job, weight and strength is shooting up again. Though I am thinking of putting my overhead press on a different day. It's so pre-exhausted that I can barely do proper weights anymore. I can overhead press 60kg 8x on a fresh day, barely 40kg on chest day  . With the 3rd set of biceps curl, instead of rotating the dumbell in, I now kept the dumbells in front of me, which keeps the tension on better and makes it that much heavier. How do you "barbell hammer curl?" Hammer-anything (curl, pullup, row, etc) is with a neutral grip, ie palms facing inward, how can you possibly grab a barbell in that manner? Unless you're curling a barbell in each hand.... but that seems just as ridiculous. And as far as 350g of protein being "extreme" - I'm quite sure that for someone over or approaching 200lbs, it's quite ok... that's not even 2g/lb of bodyweight, and the only studies I've ever read on the subject says that protein intake doesn't become dangerous (unless you already have kidney dysfunction or you're chronically dehydrated) until well over 3g.
It's a hammer barbell, a barbell = a bar you have to wield with both hands, a dumbell = one handed.

In phyre's defense I have never seen nor heard of such a contraption as a hammer barbell.

Wednesday
Circus DB: 115 right hand - 3-1-1 left hand - 1-0-0 log press: 207-3-3-3 barbell curls: 95-15-15-15
Cut my knee open with a chainsaw last weekend while searching for a tree to cut down for log press, got stitches and training feels weird, hopefully i don't split something open on squats and atlas stones tomorrow 
Ended up getting my log though from some dudes farm. 13" diameter one is 5' other is 6'. their green and heavy as fuck probably 200lbs on the 5'. I'll post pics when their done

It's more commonly known as a triceps bar..

It's slightly annoying for triceps because you have to stack 25s on it because anything bigger hits your arms when you go down on an extension.

Nice. You'll probably find they drop in weight a lot, mine had been drying out for a year or something and still lost a little weight.

Yeah, I've seen those before. The short ones are called "triceps bar" the longer ones are "swiss bars" and the longer ones with diagonal handles are "football bars."

Very good, but are there any sources where the author is not connected to a specific diet system he promotes? Not that I think it's a bad source but I'd like to see someone who isn't into the 'paleo' lifestyle etc and is just a neutral nutritional expert saying the same thing.

Just got back from my workout! I usually rest on Friday, but I skipped Wednesday, and skipped most of my cardio & stuff yesterday (did 15km early this morning though), and next week'll be a little hectic because I won't be able to go to the gym, but everything lines up perfectly, (did some of my upper body yesterday, legs today, tmw'll be more cardio & upper body & even more cardio and probably lower body on Sunday, then I'll probably be taking it easy with bodyweight exercises on mon/tue/wed 'til I get back to my place on Thursday, which is an usual day for cardio and upper body).
Here it goes! Made progress!
- Warm up (various types of push ups, dips, chin ups & pull ups)
- Deadlift : started with 8 reps @ 40kg as warmup, and went up to 130kg (by 10kg increments, lowering rep count to culminate at 1 rep @ 130kg which is my all time max I think)
- Squats : started with 10 reps @ 40 or 50kg, went up to 110kg by 10kg increments and lowering rep count by 1 everytime, reaching 1 rep @ 110kg. Was going to try 1 rep @ 120kg, but as soon as I lifted the barbell from the squat rack, I immediately felt that it was too much and put it back. I believe this is also an all time max (without equipment such as lifting belt & stuff).
- Abs : various exercises, supersetting them with each other... Hard to describe and I don't know their names, just look up Rob Riches' abs workout videos, that's basically what I did, culminating at 100 side-twists w/ 12kg barbell (didn't wanna go for more because I feel it builds up too much momentum and my shoulders get tired after 30-40 reps... and ofc didn't want to hurt myself).
Feelin' very good about myself right now, and the lower back (or rather @ sacral vertebrae) pain I felt while deadlifting "heavy" (heavy for me) and squatting afterwards is now gone. Great workout, can't wait for tmw!
I just have a question for you guys. I don't use gloves while deadlifting as they increase the diameter of the barbell and weakens your grip (even though I used them for my last set, but that's because my hands hurt too much, which is why I'm asking the question that's upcoming). The BB shreds my hands. For maybe a couple workouts, they are in good shape and I can use them fine, but at the 3rd or 4th deadlift day (not in the same week) my skin just gets torn on my right hand under my middle and ring fingers. Will it stop with practice (been deadlifting for what, 4-6 weeks?), or should I do something about it?

you can google it. I found a new york times article, I'm not sure if this counts as neutral. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/health/31really.html?_r=0

Yesterday's workout:
Snatch technique work: triples @ 135, doubles @ 155, singles @ 165. I'm still having a lot of trouble dropping myself down into full snatch; I've been working overhead squats fairly regularly, but the bottom position still just feels so....unstable. I'd like to blame it on the fact that I don't have oly shoes, but there's gotta be something else I can correct. Might post a form vid soon.
C&J: triples @ 165, singles @ 185, singles @ 205. My jerk is still so ugly, lol.

Did Back/biceps last night.. It went pretty okay:
![[image loading]](http://oi47.tinypic.com/16m4kz4.jpg)
I deliberately didn't do the rear deltoid exercise as I felt my rear delts had been getting enough of a beating with the 1 arm and barbell rows.

Friday
box squats: 500-5 atlas stone to 52" platform: 250-4-2-2-1-1, 350-0 
Good PR on the box squat and stitches held up thankfully they come out on Tuesday. If i was fresh i may have gotten the 350 stone might try it first for next time

Went for a run today!
I ran fasted (well, with a protein shake and a dose of chromium picolinate and L-carnitine, but almost no sugar and 0 fat) for 12km in 1 hour and 20 minutes, which is quite slow but half of it were solid slopes, so... very difficult to run fast on those! Tmw 1 more hour of cardio immediately followed by 2 hours at the gym!
|
Did a volume day for LBBS yesterday, and combined with prowler work today I am really feeling it.
I love prowlers so much, best thing since squats.
|
Just googled the prowler workout, didn't know about it. Do you have that stuff in your gym, or did you buy it? And for how much? Seems kinda weird, do you go outside and push that thing around?
