Lei's Big Huge Log

My ideal lifting regimen would be a high volume, high frequency, life-destroying schedule. Like the one I had last semester :p.

Just remember that you'll have your entire life to beat yourself down like this. Better to back off a bit now and reap the rewards.
 
Thanks Evo :)

One hour...to do everything, including a ten minute warm up. I'm not quite 100% from whatever bug I have. I was dehydrated and starved going into this thing. I had to collect myself for a while after this thing was over. Best active recovery technique=laying down and feeling like ****.
 
Never actually looked at you log properly lei, looks interesting!

I wish i could do 10 f*cking pullups, im lucky when i get 2 out! And the heavier im getting the harder its getting!

Stupid. Worthless. This feeling of lethargy and apathy has been following me since I started training again on Monday. Yesterday's BJJ was ****ty. I still feel kind of weak. My sinuses are still very blocked and my nutrition has been out the door. I have almost no appetite and have probably eaten 3000 cals all week.
 
hey your time is near.
if you'r sick and tired of being sick and tired then actively fight it man. Get that diet on key and keep a posative outlook because you control your feelings; they dont control u.
you got our support man...claim victory and stand strong.

...americans and their food pshhhh
 
/s/ is pretty good. Although the CP gets pretty annoying when I'm trying to bulk up my collection now that I've lost my entire hard drive :yelrotflmao:

Nah I lift at the school. Sometimes I train at home, but that is once in a blue moon.

nice upper workout man i wish i had those rings so i could do that kind of stuff :]
nice lower too...but how did it take you 2 hours?

that looks like enough leg work imo(and its half what you do?)

Thanks. The lower day was long because I spent a while teaching my partner how to squat. Then he left before the RDL's and that's when having a partner would benefit me the most-- because after the first two exercises my intensity drops.

Also, Objection! meme is fail lawlz look it up on ED.

Stupid deads. Also, I have a ****ed up arm from getting owned in BJJ. I couldn't even hold the bar when trying to back squat cause it hurt so much.
 
I think you need to reevaluate your deadlift approach. You have been failing 385 quite often if I remember correctly, it could be time to try a different approach. It is not good to try and fail too much. Where do you lose it, where is your weakness? perhaps put in different assistance exercises or just start doing more triples, doubles and singles with 80-90-100 % of your current 1RM. Drop the 5 rep **** and do some 10x3 10x2, etc, I think it would work. :D
 
I'm just weak all over. Cause I haven't been training hard. My weakness today was off the floor. Three weeks ago, my weakness was at my knees. And I still managed to deadlift 385.

I like the 10x3 and 10x2 idea.

I'm pretty sure that will work, just spend a lot of time just below your 1rm, not over it :D

If that doesn't work, you might wanna consider dropping the deadlift frequency and alternating dls with other pulls like sumo, RDLs etc, worked for me. sometimes you get to the place where DLs can't be done that often.
