realworksuks vs [Focus] - "LIKE DONKEY KONG, SON!"

I've been pretty busy with work and etc. but last time I did

225 X 8
275 X 3
225 X 7

Pullups

Abs


THEN! Today my brother came with me to lift and we lifted legs:

Squats
135 X 10
155 X 8
165 X 8
135 X 10

Shutup Focus :p

Stiff Leg Deadlifts
185 X 10
195 X 8
200 X 7

Lunges
35, 45, 50 X 10

calves
200 X 15 X 4

Abs



It was really fun lifting with my bro, he had a tough time with the stiff leg deadlifts but we got it down after a bit. He will probably be really sore tommorrow.

He could squat 135 very close to parallel and he hasn't lifted for like 2 years! And he only lifted one year during high school before that! I must have some bad problem with squats.... then again, there is a huge difference between close to parallel, parallel, and below parallel (which I always do).

Smack Talk

Don't you wish you could eat like a king and still lose weight Focus!? :yelrotflmao:

I was just gonna do once a month, but if you really want the world to see how pretty you are, then y'know... do your thang. :p Every Sunday sounds fine to me. I'mma skip this one, though, as my schedule's all messed up.

Haha. I like how you added a smack talk section. Also, eating is for children, and the weak. And fatties. ;) To be honest I find it a nuisance. But when I start bulking, I'm sooo going on the pizza diet again. I'll show you who's a fat ****. :D

I somehow lost weight yesterday despite eating my meal (after which I usually gain 2-4 lbs)....could've been the 12 straight hours of activity. Oddly enough, my knees are fine. I cranked them pretty badly repeatedly last night. At one point I smacked them both on a cement pillar really hard. Not even gonna explain how that happened.

Thoughts

As you can see, I did some messing about today. Was weak on the bench, probably cause of Saturday's massively excessive expenditure of energy (or possibly the time of day - I've noticed I'm consistently stronger in the evening than in the morning, and afternoons are about midway) but other than that... also, it was a lot of fun. I swapped out the rows and the curls for their "power" counterparts, meaning I'm "cheating" on them by using whatever means I can to move the weight. With the rows, this means actually doing a rowing motion, instead of sitting perfectly upright and using nothing but my arms, which was barely any exercise in comparison, and not a very functional movement (it felt stupid and useless). For the curls it means swinging my upper body like a real gym rat. But no movement in the legs.

I also tried those machine shrugs that evo's so fond of, but I think I prefer it with the dumbbells. Machine's too easy - I don't like having my stabilizers taken out, as that's what's most of the work afaict.

And yeah, I'm feelin' like I need more volume on the bench. Hence the upcoming changes to rep upper and max lower. I'm gonna make rep upper live up to its name.

Actually, the little girl I train with is quite a lot stronger than me. You haven't felt motivation until you've spent a month being laughed at by every other dude in the place. :rofl:

Anyway, I'll get right on that, just as soon as I'm allowed to eat. Err, I mean, IMMEDIATELY!

Good no more posts saying you felt weak today. I've read enough of that.

205 on a squat? come on dude I thought you were a tough guy?
Sure talk like one:D

Push harder guys!

Hey! 205 on a real full squat is nothing to be ashamed of!

You are probably one of those guys that maybe goes down 6 inches and can "squat" 400 pounds right? :rolleyes:
 
Is the 65lbs on the bench including the bar? So thats like 2 little 10lb plates on the bar basically. Focus, you need to focus. I wanna see a 200 bench by next week.

That's...a warmup...set. What is wrong with you people. XD

Also, kk, setting strength output to 160% of current value. Adjusting vectors.
 
Thoughts? I have thoughts...

So this velocity thing is getting lame. Starting to feel the prolonged "starvation". I know what it feels like, as I've fasted for extended periods in the past.

But the biggest problem is being limited in how much activity I can do is laaaame. It's the summer, and I'm hyper, and forcing myself to be bored by imposing artificial limits on my level of activity. ****. That. ****.

So, once I'm done, in 6 days (inclusive of today), I'm just gonna transition into my bulk, slowly, whilst playing as much as I ****ing want. AS MUCH AS I WANT. I'mma DDR like 5 hours a day, and ride my bicycle, and run, and lift weights, and lasertag, and... and...stuffs. Lots of stuffs. **** you, Shugart. **** yo couch. **** yo whole family, and the donkey they rode in on, you supplement whoring fascist ****.

Anyway, Extra NEPA hours are currently at 82/100, for the summer, and I've decided I'm doubling the goal to 200, since 100 was clearly way too low. That'll leave me about 35 days @ 3.15 hours/day after the V Diet's done. I'm seriously considering 300, but that'll mean 6 hours/day just to break even. XD

Training

A1 One-Legged Box Jump 29"x3x8
B1 Step-Up 55x10x3
C1 Romanian Deadlift 165x7x2, 165x6
D1 Cable Crunch 140x15x4

Thoughts

Fun, fun. Felt pretty beefy today. New shoes is good. Banged up my left shin, so now they match. One is bulging outward, the other is dented. Haha. Got the potassium salt, my ephedrine should be here shortly, and will have to grab some aspirin. Yeay for experimenting on myself. :D

Also, just for fun after I was done with my RDL sets, I loaded the bar to 245 lbs, strapped in, and lifted it pretty easily. Just wanted to see if I could. Proof that my grip is by far the limiting factor on that exercise. Pondering starting to use my straps, like in the before, and letting my grip strength catch up through all the other exercises. Or just doing lots and lots and lots of hyperextensions until my grip strengthens up. I seem to respond really well to those.
