Good job keeping up with the school stuff man. I know it's hard, but it pays off.
Ever heard the old saying... everyone's got a plan till they get punched? Well, this Org2 Chem class has already landed some impressive blows.
The layout meathead and I worked on may be optimal but it's not going to work this semester with this class. I have a ton of work for this class and Monday is a continued crunch day to get it all done before Tues (I didn't procrastinate, I've been working on it over the weekend too). So I'm switching my schedule to the following to accommodate this class. B/c let's be honest, I want a schedule I can adhere to 99% of the time so it has work with everything else.
WED - Squat
THUR - Fluff
SAT - Deadlift
SUN - OHP
Conditioning will be probably Mon OR Fri.
Still looks good with that setup you presented. As long as the bench accessory on Saturday doesn't affect your OHP Sunday, run it for as long as you can.
I remember prerolling the wraps use to get my hands soooo pumped lol. Squats looking good. I am hoping my body doesn't brake before I get to go for 540 to 555. Fingers crossed.
yeah the thub pads take a beating too. 600s just sounds cooler than 500s hahahaMy forearms were shot. The only good thing about wrapping myself is I don't consider it a tight wrap so I was standing there shaking my hands to get feeling back before setting up. I can't wait to have someone wrap me... but by that time I'll be back probably in he 6's.
Self wrapping does suck. I have at least 3 pairs pre rolled on hand to prevent having to roll them again. Good work.
on guy I handle at meets has some short black and thick wraps that I hate wrapping him for squats with. I am usually sweating more than him after he finishes an attempt lol.
Yeah that sucks. I got a pair of pioneers like that. Basically the same as the Titan Golds. Absolute bastards to use, wrap, and almost impossible to self wrap with.
Just learned today that my Org 2 Chem class is with an insane prof. She will be covering the entire book during the semester while other prof's only cover half the book. I was wondering why everything seemed to be going so fast.... know I know why. We've been covering a chpt a day while other profs have been covering a chpt a week.
The stuff y'all do with bands...any good resources online for reading about this? I don't understand it or know anything about it.
Honestly, I'd look up anything from westside barbell since they came up with the idea of using bands. You don't have to follow their %'s or tension amounts for training but it'll help you understand the purpose and application of bands. You notice I use mini's choked which is around 50lbs tension and WSBB would say for my 275 bar should have around 120 in band tension (and you notice I use around half that). Now, I'm upping my band tension to monster mini's which will be around 70lbs but WSBB would suggest I use lights which would be around 100 choked.
I'll write something probably Friday explaining bands and their uses.
Ok, thanks. I did some quick searches on UG last night and didn't find much.
My assumption though is that they are good for competitive strength training because the weight gets progressively harder as you move through the lift - making it easier to lift heavier for competitions when you're not using the bands? Is this kind of the jyst?
