Bodyweight@session : ~195
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches :

Lance's 3-set-progress template - workout #29

~~STATIONARY BIKE:~~
The bikes and treadmills were ALL taken and there was a waiting list too, WTF!

LEG EXTENSIONS:
20@25lbs each leg
20@25lbs each leg
20@25lbs each leg
-Tempo was 4:4:4, each leg set took like 3 minutes. Each leg was totally 9 mins under tension so fuck you 20 mins of bike!

ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS:
8@198 lbs ( +11 lbs )
8@198 lbs ( +11 lbs )
8@198 lbs ( +11 lbs )
Total : 24 reps ( same )
-Nice, and could go even better but was very bored/numb/unmotvated at that point. Got over it right after RDLs.

UPRIGHT ROWS:
9@88 lbs ( +1 reps )
8@88 lbs ( +1 rep )
8@88 lbs ( +1 rep )
Total : 25 reps ( +3 reps )
-Nice.

DUMBBELL INCLINE BENCH PRESS:
9@53 lbs DBs ( +9 lbs total ) , ( same )
8@53 lbs DBs ( +9 lbs total ) , ( -1 rep )
8@53 lbs DBs ( +9 lbs total ) , ( -1 rep )
Total : 25 reps ( -2 reps )
-Love those. Finally became challenging. Setting up with those 24kg DBs is actually harder than the press itself.

Quad rehab stretching:
3 sessions throughout the day, session = 4 sets of 30 seconds hold each leg.

-Limit strength here too. I was 3.5lbs heavier than last time so i can assume some progress here.

-Quad is great. Feels great to run bug-free. Powerful on everyday activities too. Squat rack was taken so did some leg presses instead.

Tempo was 2:1:2 to 2:2:2.
5 reps per set more plus going parallel instead of half. Was good for more but stayed focused, patience!!!

6@148,5 lbs ( +1 rep )
Total : 20 reps ( +3 reps )

:
1) 1-set reps

Why don't you try to go ATG?

I did really deep squats yesterday and I have VMO soreness for the first time ever in years.

vag · « **Reply #1748 on:** February 05, 2013, 05:45:50 am »

This has been explained ( as usual ), it's all about my strain recovery. All articles i found insisted on not going below parallel , most of them suggested 90 degrees knees angle. Agreed about VMO/depth, it is the same for me. I don't care at all for VMO currently though, target is rectus femoris/vastus lateralis.

Why?

And yeah, I read that "I did a few full reps" and was like "why aren't you doing all the reps that way"?

vag · « **Reply #1750 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:58:00 pm »

Because i want to focus on strengthening my injured outer quad and not my healthy VMO? And because as i already said all the articles i read prescribed not going below parallel?

vag · « **Reply #1751 on:** February 06, 2013, 09:27:27 am »

Gentlemen...

9 months and 9 days after my initial injury, i announce my quad healed!!!

Not at 100% yet, but very close. I am pain-free for ~1 month. I've been pushing it more and more lately, nothing makes it hurt: Full pistol squats, explosive weighted SL box squats, SVJs , even a few submax SLRVJs. I don't feel like maxing out squats or doing ME RVJs though, i fear it will tear. Did not intend to do those anyway.

It's been a long journey to heal , i stand by my point of acting as stupid and immature and dangerous as i could with it. Lesson learned though.

Next steps :

1) 10 more days of rehab+bulk.
2) 1 week of skiing.
3) Get back on the squatting train + start an entropy-cut from high 190s to low 180s ( start : 25 February ).
4) Start adding low impact plyos & sprints ( estimated start : mid March ).
5) Bring back o-lifts ( estimated start : mid April ).
6) Start jumping again ( estimated start : mid May ).

what is entropy cut? just cutting using his methodology? or different methodology but his level of discipline?

I meant long/disciplined/steady/successful.
The methodology i like to follow is too simple: High protein/low carbs/500kcal deficit.

Damn good progress Vag! When you increase the weight, the previous reps no longer matter though, so the first day with the increased load is a PR, regardless of reps. I dont know if you knew that already or not, keeping the previous REP pr when adding weight will turn impossible soon though.
