I hate straps too, haven't yet had the need for them though using lots of chalk. Is there any reason you don't use chalk? Your grip strength still develops, but you can go heavier without being disrupted by sweaty hands/slippy bar!

Tues Oct 1 2013

BW at 173-175lbs. Eating cleaner again.
No injuries but major DOMS in the quads flared up mid day at work, slight glute soreness as well. Glutes went away and most of quad soreness did too during warmup. First day back on a volume cycle always has major soreness lol!
Good energy and focus. Ready to lift!

Warmups and jumps (jumps weren't "great" but ok considering quad soreness/fatigue)

Deadlift:
225x3 275x2 315x1 335x1
(worksets) 315x5 x5, x5 x5. Grip is really suffering, last few reps on last set were very difficult.

Jumpsquats:
50lbs x3, x3. BW x5.

Ham curls:
140lbs x6, x6, x5 drop set to 60lbs x12. I beginning to really like drop sets for assistance lifts!

Hang clean:
95lbs 3x3. Decided I want to start trying this as everyone raves about it in regards to power production. Starting very light with a 3x3 scheme to nail down some semblance of form.

Chest/triceps upperbody and core stability work. Added some new resistance band core stuff that was really tough. Very cool. Shot around for 15-20 mins afterward. Good workout but I'm probably going to be sore for Thursdays hoops with the guys lol! :) That's ok we'll see how it goes!

Do you use chalk?

oh dont worry the fat loss isnt a main goal that will just come as i stop eating all the junk i ate over xmas etc and actually move once or twice through the day, my main goal is muscle goal and yeah i have weight goals in my journal i just used the thigh measurement to gauge if im actually putting muscle on, but yeah i just saw them quads and im off to squat right now lol.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Motivation

Recently my motivation to train has been...terrible.

I don't know what my goals are, Im not playing basketball so much anymore i've kinda grown out of that dream and focusing on my grades/uni next year/future career...

but i still want to be beast, athletically, physically...

but before when people asked me why i do it it was always...for basketball...

I've taken breaks gone back started again been inconsistent took more breaks...and gone nowhere, backwards if anything, ive gained body fat, lost muscle mass and lost strength...i can still dunk though  :ninja:

Not sure why im posting it, just feel like sharing my predicament...

Should I write up some goals, a new routine which is manageable, and go again?

Anyone ever done anything like this? Im thinking about trying it for a few weeks just to see what happens.

I understand its designed for gaining size and such and won't benefit max strength/athletic ability massively although with a bit of extra muscle from a few week block of this will make it easier to gain max strength later?

And how good is it for adding size?

(im talking about the 10x10)

« on: July 24, 2011, 02:46:45 pm »
havent read through the whole thread but, usually on a squat day i do glute activation exercises in the warm up. one time i forgot to do them went to squat and my hip flexors were on fire. i then rememered i hadnt done them so i spent 5minutes doing some glute brides etc and squatted twice as easily which i found interesting!
