Hi there!

I know some of you are waiting for this so I might as well bring some video footage/training numbers/motivation/inspiration in HnF.

21 weeks out so still off season and rehabing squat and deadlift (low numbers for the moment). I'll be able to deadlift sumo in a few weeks. As some of you may know I suffered from back injury that prevented me to train lower body since June. I have a pinched nerve L5-S1 and I have lost sensibility on my left pinky toe. After months of rest back pain is gone and I regained some of my toe sensibility. Slow road to recovery....6 months in.

Goals are:
Bw: 83-93kg
Squat: 200 kg/441 lbs
Bench: 145 kg/320 lbs
Deadlift: 255 kg/562 lbs
Total: 600 kg/1322 lbs


So far in my past competitions:

I wish I kept track of my statistics as well as you. Also, my birthday is June 6. Gl

GG Good luck.

My meet is on 18 April.

Aiming for 210/145/270

@Shakti
I have kept every workouts I've done since I started lifting in may 2011! Also have hundreds of videos. I'm a nerd of weightlifting as I commit to read and learn about this subject everyday of my life. It has become more than just a hobby.

@HotManNamedCarl
Cool m8 we can do it! haha

Todays workout:

Volume day:
2ct paused squat RPE9(8) load drop 6-9%
290 lb x 6
270 lb x 6x4

2ct Paused Bench RPE9(10) load drop 6-9%
250 lb x 5
230 lb x 5x4

2'' Deficit deadlift RPE9(7.5) repeat 4-6%
290 lb x 6x3

CG Bench RPE9(9) Repeat 4-6%
225 lb x 5x2

Squat pauses seem long, bench pauses seem short.

Ayyy lmao

Time slow down when benching. That's the Anabolic Time Chamber effect. I guess as long I'm making consistent progress with the same form the name I give to the exercise doesn't really matter right?

Squat weights are not challenging so it's easy to sit there and take a poop.

haha is there a blink182 mix playing in that gym?

gl in the prep

gl im also back from injury. gonna run a cycle of rsr and hope that my knee will hold up

Usually depends on who works there when you train. It goes from punk to hip hop to metal and the fitness motivation playlist kind of music. It's a 24 hour gym and the gym owner was sleeping/resting in his office so when I reached my volume sets on bench I put some periphery until I was done.



Get on a RTS type of programming. It would fits you well.

Would not recommend rsr. It was hard on my hips
