Hurt's Log/Journey to the Stage

[stonetag]

Yes man! That’s a great idea! A “where it all started thread” ...everyone post a pre-lifting pic vs where they are now!

Seeker will just have to settle for a pic of a petroglyph from the cave wall where he was raised for his "before" picture.

Repped!

G'damn scientist humor. On point!

 

[Hurt]

Yesterday was the first day back in the gym after a 3 day break and I was pretty disappointed to be quite honest! I expected to be rested and rejuvenated feeling but I just felt “off” for some reason. Trained back and bi’s, starting with deads, and only worked up to 495 for my top set. I just didn’t feel like I was in a groove like I normally do. Oh well, not every day is perfect. On to the next!

Unfortunately it’s typical my friend...:32 (6):

Just keep kicking ass....

Hey man, we all go through it. Pick your shit up and and go again. I've personally slacked lately and been struggling with the iron. A couple of bro's here know it. It happens.

Great leg workout today. First day squatting in over a week so eased in with 5x5x405 then went on to do some other movements like stiff leg deads, leg curls, lextensions and then finished off with 4 30 rep sets on leg press and walking lunges - talk about getting some blood in the legs. Couldn’t stand without my legs trembling and they gave out a couple times just walking around afterward!

Thats how Seeker gets after FD sucks him off.

Fun deadlift session tonight. After warm up sets I did 4x10x405 beltless. I could have hammered out more reps but Grip kept giving out at 10, and I was determined not to use straps...so it looks like I need to do some grip work.

Always love your volume.

This might be a horrible idea but we should all pick a random lift and do a high volume day. You get 24 hours to complete 100 reps at the individuals weight preference.

 

[Seeker]

Reps of 10 with 405 is pretty grip solid. Using chalk?

 

[automatondan]

I agree with Seek, solid work brother. What grip are you using?

 

[Metalhead1]

X2 on the chalk

T-nation has had workouts based off of this idea. Would be brutal for sure

Thanks man. No chalk - I was at a different gym that didn’t have chalk and I don’t bring any with me because my normal gym has chalk buckets. Sweaty hands definitely played a part.

 

[Hurt]

Thanks bud. I use double overhand as long as I can, then I switch to mixed. I did one set overhand, then the other 3 with mixed grip.

I do that pretty often with calf raises. I’ll pick a number of reps, usually 50-100, then rest-pause until I get them all...so I may hit 20 straight, then rest, then 17, 12, etc but I never get out from under the weight, and I never take more than 10 seconds before I try for more reps. If I’m doing 100, usually by the end I’m doing like 3 rest 3 rest 2 rest 2 haha...

Same way I train calves brother, and it's been the most successful for me. Sore 24/7.

Definitely sore all the time! It’s the best method I’ve found to get them to respond, along with massive dropsets!

 

[Hurt]

No gym yesterday or today. Whole family is sick right now. Hoping to pick things up tomorrow if I don’t feel like a pile of dog shit.
