Training Log: Entry 325
Deload day.
Squats: 3X5 of 300
Notes: Fixed my right knee from flaring, but my left knee is still a renegade. Pulled a little on the inside, but not too much damage. Just need to fix this.
Bench: 3X5 of 275
Note: This was nice and easy.
Pull-ups: 3X5 w/35lbs
Note: Form was kinda crappy on this. Need to master it, then move up in lighter weights.
CoC Gripper work
2,T,1,2,T
Note: Negatives weren't getting much work. Think I'm just gonna stick with the basics.
Some pics from a beginning weight training program I created.
Good pics for your training program. The maxi-pad on the squat bar made me lol.
ReplyDeleteHow convenient, no one is curling in the squat rack and there isn't a single soul in that gym unless you count that person doing cardio in the background. THe second to last pic reminds me of this time I was squatting 145, which was heavy at the time, and right when I was in the middle of a set some guy stops and says:Guy: Whoa Whoa Whoa, No, dude, stop.Me: ?guy: *points to barbell backpad* Did you know this was here? Me: Yes, but I never use itguy: Careful I fucked up my right shoulder without it once.Which is was probably the result of him holding it/balancing it wrong or bad form, but it's annoying to get interrupted like that, especially in a working set.
ReplyDeleteHey, the little luffa things make my back feel nice. I'm fuckin' 5' 3" and 110 pounds, there's no muscle on my shoulder to hold a bar in place. : P
ReplyDeleteSHUT UP AND SQUAT!!!
ReplyDeleteNEVER.
ReplyDeleteYour form seems off on the deadlift and squat pictures, is that cause the weight is so low, or do you always do them like that?
ReplyDeleteOff it what way? I know I'm coming up on my heels on the squat, but what specifically about the deadlift?
ReplyDeleteWith the pins in the rack that high, won't you be able to do anything more than a half squat there?
ReplyDeleteWait, scrap that my sense of spacing is way off.
ReplyDeleteIn the squat and the deadlift it looks like your knees are going past your feet.
ReplyDeleteYeah...how else can you do full range squats?
ReplyDeleteIonno, never do them I guess? lol. For the sake of your knees. Well in the squat you look parallel anyway...but in the deadlift why would your knees have to pass your feet?
ReplyDeleteMost of the stuff I've read says ATG squats promote healthy knees in that they strengthen the joints and ligaments. I pretty much only hear "knees not past the feet" from ACE personal trainers and other such types. I don't think it's really possible to do a real squat without your knees traveling past the feet.As for deadlifts, the weight is covering my feet from the sides, and the front view doesn't really give it a perspective.
ReplyDeleteA proper narrow stance deep squat will have the knees go past the toes. A parallel squat has more of a sitting back motion however and usually the knees won't go past the toes.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm used to going deep.
ReplyDeleteOhhh. Sorry to be such a dunce, but I'm still a novice. : /
