Basketball / Re: golden state will not beat CAVS this year hahahaha

so much hype for cleveland.

in the end, people will just blame GSW for having a super team and it's not a healthy competition.

Spurs vs Cavs would have been more interesting.

Man, your Warriors are almost 3.5 to 1 favorites according to bookmakers.... but I have a feeling this one is going to be given to King James somehow....

if curry starts to have bad games while klay still remains missing in offense, then Cavs can keep this interesting. Lebron cannot bully his way to the paint. Zaza, McGoat, DWest, Durant.. warrior bigs are solid this year.

Kyrie will slither his way around the bigs....

will work against most. not durant. too quick. too tall. godly wingspan.

did you see his double block?

Well... big changes lately for me life in general wise. Not going to let it keep me down. Resolving to start logging more to keep myself accountable. Really need to play more ball to stay bouncy as well.

Squatted tonight at 181lbs BW.

Back Squat
bar x12, 135 x10, 225 x6, 315 x3, 365 x1, 405 x1,425 x1
385 x3, 385 x3, 365 x3, 365 x3, 365 x3. Not bad.

Front squat:
265 x5, 295 x3, 315 x1! FINALLY! Got it easier than expected to, shold have repped it twice. Then finished with 275 x3, x3.

Circuit assistance work. Went for more heavier/less reps on the unilateral work tonight. we'll see how that feels tomorrow.

good things happen to lean 5'10s that squat 425s.  :headbang:

edit - scoob, ChrisM only has a 90" standing reach and look how easily above the rim he is getting.

May Week 5 of 5

Sun May 28

morning
Squats paused full squats smith 315s-365-405-435
Horizontal Pull hammer strength iso row pronated narrow 4x45lb 5x2 sets | 4x45lb+25lb 5x4 sets
Vertical Push smith machine inclined narrow bench press 135-185-225 5x2 sets each 
Vertical Pull seated lat machine pulldown 225 5x2 sets
Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x2 sets

* did the morning squat routine on the smith to not tire the stabilizing muscles and get good quads and glute action. chest press on the smith feels very comfortable. i can get this to 245-275 before end of 2017 and 315 within a year. the 225 was not very heavy. feet also elevated to prevent lowerback tension. doing these chest pressing narror to minimize chest involvement and give the weight to the tris and ant delts.

afternoon
Squats paused full squats 315s-365-405-455#198
Horizontal Pull hammer strength iso row pronated narrow 5x45lb 5x4 sets
Vertical Push smith machine inclined tricep bench press 185 5x2 sets | 225 5x4 sets
Vertical Pull seated lat machine pulldown 225 5x2 sets

* skipped the calf machine because of too many peeps using it. did the 455 paused outside of the power rack. squat cage is busy. 455 was easy. might be able to do 4 singles until wed.

Mon May 29

morning
Squats paused full squats 315s-365-405
Horizontal Pull one arm standing cable rows 50-60 5x2 sets each | 70 5x8 sets
Vertical Push smith machine inclined tricep bench press 185 5x2 sets | 225 5x4 sets 
Vertical Pull seated lat machine pulldown 225 5x1 sets
Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x1 sets

* did not feel very strong on the 405. would get a 435 but it would feel near max. skipped it and will keep this routine for mornings. il 455 later. i hope the gym is not very busy on this holiday monday.

afternoon
Squats paused full squats 315s-365-405-455x0-435x1 | 365 1x10 sets | 315 1x5 sets

Vertical Push smith machine inclined tricep bench press 225 5x4 sets 
Vertical Pull bw chins 1x20 sets
Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x2 sets

* i was feeling normally strong on the 405 and would have done the 455 outside of the rack if i had too judging by the explosiveness of the 405. i messed up on the valsalva. i did not eat enough air. i knew i screwed it up because i just folded after i got out of the pause. luckly i was inside the cage with the pins set. did not even fight anything with my legs. reracked and did the 435 a few mins after. felt like total shit because i wasted a perfectly good afternoon - did so many singles of 365 to iron out form with 30-45sec resets. the reps after 5-6 felt 20-30lbs lighter.  the 315 singles felt like an empty bar.
* my tricep bench press is solid. started at 225 without a problem. i took it easy with the chins since i'm already taxing my elbows with heavy bench pressing. if it worked for the squats, i did it again - 20 singles with secs in between. last time i did this with the chins, i got calve tightness because of so many landings. smarter this time and step down to a plyo box.

* 365 single volume yesterday did not tire me. 435 strong this morning. good sleep and strong breakfast, i should be 455#199 later and another on wed for 200 before the 4-night wed-sat work week.
* 255 singles on the tricep bench was not very heavy. could get 265s but not at 275 yet.

afternoon

Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x1 sets | 7x45lb 5x1 sets

*  was not happy with the explosiveness of the 405.  DOMs from the 365 singleshowed up. i got an easy 435 but would have been a grinder if i put 455. good thing that i took it easy. calf raises are strong again.
* i'm getting better DOMS on my mid back doing rows on cables. it does not look as cool as 5-6 plates on the hammerstrength machine but these 75-100lb cable resistance works the back muscles more.

Book any tickets to the NBA finals?

not that big of a fan to spend $500+ for nosebleed rows. prefer to watch games with commentaries and replays. oracle fans are one hell of a noisy crowd. been there. good experience.

Looking back, I imagine some of those races & events your sister run, mean even more.. Since many of those events benefit cancer charities and such.

I think your sister loves curls more than you love squats........ lmao.

yup, little sis still running very long races. she came here to SF a year ago and we went to LA so she can run the LA marathon.  ;D

* did backoff sets on smith machine for better recovery of core while still getting my quads,hams and glutes good volume. did them wearing chucks and 5lb plates. smith at 24hr gym has a slight incline. makes the motion feel very natural.
* woke up midday to watch warriors game. 1st q down 25. fukkit. back to sleep. popo is GOAT. watched highlights later. popo is GOAT. spurs leading with less than 2 mins to go with kawhi out. 40yr manu dunking on 6'7" kids.

* 435x1 was heavier than usual this morning. the volumes of smith squats yesterday added some fatigue. did minimum of 315x5 to iron form and lift stronger later.
* got back to vertical pulling again. tenderized my left elbow weeks back most likely from the 100lb single arm cable pulldowns. will use lighter weights more and do 10 reps. 1-2 sets of heavy 5s to start.

* i got the 405 up so explosively that it reminds me of the time i'm getting the 475 paused. the 455 was smooth without any glitch or grind. probably could have gotten a grinding 475 but i'm getting too old for that intensity.
* smith machine squats as backoffs works. will do more and see if i can turn the morning squats to smith only for more recovery. the multi 315x5s paused squats couple of days ago added some tightness to my lowerback. im sure i'm getting lazy and tired fully bending the knees and ankles on some reps and end up rounding the lowerback to get to full depth. i cant do that on the smith because the bar comes down and forward which forces me to get some good ankle dorsi flexion. will take smith squat video soon.

* my legs were already strong for 435+ but i feel some crushed fatigue in my lowerback. not the fatigue from a rounded lowerback from bad squat form. i fried my back doing volumes of smith shoulder pressing. again. skipped shoulder pressing today and tomorrow morning. il get my 455 wed afternoon.

* skipped the 315x5 backoff on smith to make sure i get an easy 455 later.  not prepping for 475 because my BW is stuck now at 204lb. 208lb+ and il go for it. removed all vertical pushing. i do the chest press with narrow grip and handles lined up with my shoulders (low seat height). it should give plenty of action to my anterior delts and triceps without involving much pecs. will stay with this as long as i dont get DOMS on chest.
* my cable upright rows are improving. i did a good set of 5 using 140 (equivalent resistance to 70lb db). these are strict reps with full ROM. il start to lose the top ROM at 160+ unless i do some sort of rocking motion at the bottom. stack tops out at 200.

* i will do another volume sets of smith squats later.

Calves seated calf raises soleus  6x45lb+25lb 5x2 sets
Abs weighted situps dumbell 15lb 5x2 sets

* kept most exercises to 5x2 sets to get good pace going without too much fatigue. was not expecting the shoulder pressing with 205lb to be easy so i went up to 225s. not a back breaking crawl. 215lbs would be perfect for 5x2 sets.
* cable rowing topped out at 75lb. i was doing 20 reppers with this same weight months ago. i can still do 20s but my joints get tender eventually. added weighted situps again. light weight tohelp my core recover faster. 435-455 again by mon-tue.

* so i won't do 5x4 sets on back to back workouts. i'm very strong this afternoon. had to do more volumes.
* just realized a while ago that my shoulder pressing on the smith with 225lb is heavier and has more ROM than the sunday warriors doing their 1/4 squats in the power rack next to me.  i like being 205lb heavy. woot!

* i don't know if the tightness in my back is from the 455s last tue-wed or from the 205-215-225lb shoulder pressing, or a combination of both. i blast thru the squat routine of 4 sets without any breaks. just the time it takes to add or remove the plates. my shoulder pressing and calve raises are improving.
* i split the shoulder pressing routine into 2 sets of 5x2 sets. did the first 2 sets then did my rowing. then came back to shoulder pressing again after much needed rest. been taking a lot more proteins. 200g just from the musclemilk light. sale at costco this month for 80c each.

* did not feel completely recovered yesterday and this morning to attempt 405+. i could have gotten 435 already but if it turns to a crawl or another mid-back collapse, i will set myself back a lot more days. better be on the safe side.

* 435x1 was not heavy. could do 455 again tmrw if nothing feels wrong. my left elbow is still not ready to do vertical pulling. tried doing bw chins and the ROM on the left is not good. something in there is still tender.

* got a clean paused 455 without a crawl. BW staying at 204lb. resting the upperbody shoulder pressing because my lowerback is still fatigued. upperbody push doing the seated chest press works well as long as i don't use too much weight and start flexing my back.

* had to modify my sleep a little to watch warriors game at noon. il take another 4-5hr nap again and lift at 10-11am ish. 435 was not very heavy. not fast enough that i could have gotten 455. calves need more recovery to get to 7x45plates again. im getting very comfortable using the lifefitness machines. the chest press is awesome. i get the soreness in my delts. the stack goes to 300lb. i have time to grow. 220-240 in the next few weeks. 180 is not heavy.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Human Growth Hormone at Costco

not the actual hgh, but an hgh promoting formula: https://www.costco.com/SeroVital-Dietary-Supplement%2c-160-count-.product.100121701.html

the most sought after PED made it legally to costo.  :uhhhfacepalm:

i know somatotropin because i make nutropin at work (gene.com). serovital claims a 600% increase in natural hgh level. good thing with costco is the return policy. not going to do it myself and waste my time but imagine taking a month's worth $80 and doing an hgh serum testing after using it. if blood hgh serum remains the same, return for a full store refund - no questions asked.

that claimed 600% increase is right there at the anabolic dosage requirement - baseline of 1.5iu up to 8iu+.

im surprised costco took this product. im for certain no $80 product is going to give you the same HGH levels as a $100,000 a month Nutropin supply for an 8iu/day at $400 per iu.

McGOAT kinda useless last game.

Vintage david west, the former 2-time all star still getting it done. 

David West - 6'9, 250lb. rumored to be the warriors player with the lowest BF%. does boxing training too.  will probably destroy draymond 8-10yrs ago.
