He's probably in shock somewhere... standing there is stunned silence in the middle of a bar still.

Where you gone dude

yep, ur right mate. im just thinkin with bein at uni, gettin stronger is a bit easier at the mo, than gettin bigger, financially :-) haha..
but yeh, doing them both is somethin that i have planned.

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (dazc)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:22:20 GMT

no reason why you cant do both over a couple of years mate, all training makes you bigger, all training makes you stronger. the amount of volume/reps and percentage of max just tips the balance one way or the other a bit

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (Mr.M)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:17:51 GMT

ur right mate.
definately wanna give somehtin a try, and i think at this time, im best suited for a strength comp, rather than a BB show.. although i defs wanna give a BB show a go some day.

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:07:31 GMT

only one way to find out mate, and thats to try it for a few months!

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (Mr.M)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:47:58 GMT

yeh totally. i think i f i throw in some Oly lifts as well it can seriously help pack on a bit of dense mass which is what id like.
was thinkin with regards to the routine of going for Wendler's 5/3/1, and sticking to the format he lays out. still training submaximal weights, then obviously if i were to do a comp, would just change the perdiodization up to train with weights closer to my max in the weeks running up to it.

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (dirtyvest)

Yeah, essentially you do lower rep but can be fairly high volume wise for your main lifts, but the supplementary work usually has a very different structure to it. I think you'd be suprised how much the PLing can still help physique wise tho.

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (Mr.M)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:51:53 GMT

hope so mate..
having chekced out the PLers on here, most seem to do some higher rep work after anyway, so that would keep me 'sane' in terms of the BBing aspect of training.

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (dirtyvest)

That's where some complete goal orientated structure in your trainnig might help - it will keep you focussed on the target. You'll still have periodisation where slightly vary methodologies are used but together with input from someone prepping for the same thing I'm sure you'd last the distance

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (Mr.M)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:25:36 GMT

cheers dude.. im just so inconsistent with my goals, they change, and my mind changes on what i want from trainin etc..i'd really love t give it a go sometime.. or even do a small comp like the few that have been goin on recently from here.

but yeh, i think progress a bit better with strength gains so i should really concentrate on this i reckon.

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (dirtyvest)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:16:06 GMT

Well there are plenty of guys round here who know their onions when it comes to PLing mate. You've definately got something when it comes to strength so with something truely focussed towards that goal I'm sure you would do well

ok, today-

Incline Rack bench- 3's (done in singles) 10s rest between each.
105kx3
115kx3
125kx3 -- up 5k on each set.

Bench-1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, max
125x1, 3
135x1, 3
145x1, 1+ 2 spotted. too heavy, however up 5k on the first 2 sets so overall load increase this week :-)
105x12 - up 5k on last week here for same reps.

Seated DB shoulder press- 1, 3, 1, 3- max
36x1, 3
44x1, 3
32x11

Power upright rows **supersetted** DB deadstop lateral raise
50 x 5 // 12k DB's x 5 * 3 sets
55x5
60x5

finished with some pushdowns.

good session. would have really liked the 145k bench, however, i went heavier on inclines, and moved the pins down a notch so incorporated more chest in it, and overall load was increased on the bench so all wasnt lost :-)

had a think over the weekend. and im thinkin id like to give a powerlifting comp a go in the near future. probably something raw as im not shelling out on a bench shirt and squat suit etc etc.
i know ive said something along these lines before, but i really fancy it.. not sure when but i mean my routine at the mo is veyr much strength oriented also so no need to switch it up yet.

but when i do, was thinkin of something like

Back squats
bottom position (from pins) front squats
some accessory lifts

Bench
Incline bench work
Some form of upper back row

Deads
good mornings
ham curls

OHPP or strict press
CGBP
Chins/ pull ups

some curls and pushdowns will be thrown in on the upper days too.
anyway, really quite fancy it so will see what happens. plus i really wanna get back into deadlifting again, and i really wanna get myu back squat up, plus it will force me to start stretching again.

well yeh, more weight, plus i try hold the bar at the top of the movement for a second, which is quite difficult when powering it up :-)
does seem to take a little stress off the shoulders to be honest..

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (dirtyvest)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:07:57 GMT

Almost a hang clean then? I'd imagine the added leg drive would actually take take a little stress off the shoulders - altho you would obviously have more weight to compensate tho.

Re: RE: Makin Moves The MAX-OT Way... (Mr.M)

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:05:18 GMT

just with a bit of leg drive and hip thrust etc..
yeh they acn be nasty but u.rows seem ok for me

What are 'Power Upright Rows'? Seeing people do regular upright rows makes me shudder (bad shoulder history), so to me 'power' upright rows just sound insane!
