PIA's Powerlifting Journey

[Darth Biscuit]

I'll be killing chest today as well. The gym here on post is phenomenal. Actually both bases I've been on have great gyms. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I see a power rack and matting.

 

Our gym is just meh...   decent equipment, but the way it's setup is retarded.  Plus there's only one squat rack, which is stupid...  well, not for the chest and bicep crowd, but for the serious people it is...

I just want to say something. There is a fitness fanatic (such as myself) in this unit, and this dude DOES NOT DO LOWER BODY. He's nice and defined up top, but he had the legs of a poorly fed Ethiopian. He just doesn't want to change. Meh, it's exhausting.

There are a lot of people that don't ever do legs...

 

I'll admit I've been off and on about it over the years, but never just didn't do them at all ever... I'm pretty strict about it now... at least every 3rd or 4th day.

Legs are key. What did you do to train them?

Like what exercises?

 

Deadlifts, leg curls and extensions, leg presses on a variety of machines, calf and tibilias raises.

 

Very rarely do squats because of the limited range of motion in my left shoulder due to the surgery I had.

Have you tried Bulgarian squats?

[Darth Biscuit]

Have you tried Bulgarian squats?

 

Had to look that up so... no.

 

Might try those, thanks.

They suck. Be warned.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah, pretty much anything with legs sucks... which is why people avoid it.

I've thrown up after a 4x 20 set of back squats. So yeah haha.

I almost forgot. Yesterday night I was able to train straight leg deficit pulls and strict press.

1. 1x5, 1x5, 3x3, 5x3 ( pulls)

2. 1x3, 1x4, 3x3 press

That's the key psc. Have you changed programs up? You could be getting stale from the same rotation.

 

yeah i was changing my routine once a month to keep it fresh.  now i'm just failing to relaunch.   still haven't lifted in 3 weeks now.

[Chimera]

In a good way?

nope

I'm plus 15 pounds in about 2 months.

Not too worried yet - I've had several wild swings in my weight in the past. Not sure why

Probably an increase in cortisol.
