Time for a change. My bench is up to 215x3x5 but it takes a lot out of me. I don't have much left for Kloks. Time to split the days up. The plan is to have a heavy Klok/light bench day and a heavy bench/light Klok day. Back work still really sucks. Hard to row without tugging on the joint in a way it does not appreciate. I really want to build up dips and chins again.
I am certainly open to suggestions. |

I'm a doctor, and the only non American measurements i use are for drugs.
I have no concept of what 500ml of milk is. Seriously. It's strange. Eat 200g of meat. .. that could be anything. is that lke 5 steaks or 50 steaks...? Crazy measurements. Crazy rest of the world. |

Made some changes and reevaluated protein. Should be able to get 100g today and will make a pile of boiled eggs, sirloin, and chicken this weekend to feed on throughout the week. Down 10# in 8 weeks and if anything have gained muscle. Need to get a new powder as that cheap stuff from Walmart is messing with my stomach. Maybe try that stuff from Sams Club. Or something different entirely. |

I swear I am getting leaner while getting heavier, but who knows. When I was going down the scale I was eating several protein shakes a day, then a really strong guy told me, eat all the protein you want, until you up the carbs and sugar you will not add muscle. Gained 15 pounds since then. |

I've been too stupid to eat enough when I do it till now. Been doing it for one cycle and already see some changes. I still don't understand it. I'm not small, but I don't consider myself big. The boring but big just doesn't ever seem like I'm doing enough. I eat all kinds of protein, and basically everything I can get my hands on. As much meat as possible. I over-eat all the time it seems, yet my weight has leveled out, and I have actually lost weight. My sets are up in the 3-400 pound range based on my numbers but even still I don't feel/see myself getting bigger. I got bigger much faster and put on alot more size doing the 10x3 routine, but I was only doing it for bench press. This is what put me from 365 without a pause, up to 405 with a pause. I wonder if I am doing too much each workout? I do my normal sets, then 5 sets of 10 at 50%. Then I do 3-5 other assistance workouts going pretty heavy using 8-10 rep sets for 3 sets each workout. Lot of chain work/pause sets and stuff. |

Good luck. Maybe you can make it over here one Saturday and we can do some training for it. There's also a really fun looking one on 4/18 in Clarksburg, WV. I probably would go for it if I wasn't already signed up for a burpee and jump rope competition on the same day.

Speaking of calf raises, my calfs are not impressive looking, and it's no big surprise that I do no calf raises. I read this article.
https://www.t-nation.com/training/no-weights-calf-training The guy says you should be able to do 20 single leg calf raises, each side, full ROM, and that most of the athletes he tested only did around 14 or less. So I tried it out. I got 27 on each side. Not bad, I think? Anyone else try this? |

Tonight was deadlifts. My last set was 410x3. Went for 5 and could have done more.
I then did 5 sets of 10 @ 225. No bounce reps either. I did leg press touching my quads to my chest at 315 for 3 sets of 10, then I did good-mornings with 135 nice and slow/low for 3 more sets of 10. Followed by quad extensions for 3 sets. Am I doing too much assistance work? |

Tonight was deadlifts. My last set was 410x3. Went for 5 and could have done more. I then did 5 sets of 10 @ 225. No bounce reps either. I did leg press touching my quads to my chest at 315 for 3 sets of 10, then I did good-mornings with 135 nice and slow/low for 3 more sets of 10. Followed by quad extensions for 3 sets. Am I doing too much assistance work? My simple approach, if you keep doing the same amount of work every week and making progress, you must be somewhere around the appropriate amount of work. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10205022742002491 Youtube didn't like my video for some reason. Mock meet today. 440 squat, 295 bench and 465 deadlift. I have been deadlifting with neoprene shorts and putting on the singlet today made me realize the bar gets hung up on my thighs. No big deal, baby powder will fix it but it is nice to know ahead of time. My ass drove up off the bench a little on bench, I think being able to spread my feet out more will eliminate that. The rack limited how wide my feet could get and it has never been an issue in my own basement. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LawyerUp:
Speaking of calf raises, my calfs are not impressive looking, and it's no big surprise that I do no calf raises. I read this article. https://www.t-nation.com/training/no-weights-calf-training The guy says you should be able to do 20 single leg calf raises, each side, full ROM, and that most of the athletes he tested only did around 14 or less. So I tried it out. I got 27 on each side. Not bad, I think? Anyone else try this? skinny calves. quit counting at 20 on each side with more in the tank. I dont get to say this often in relation to weight lifting....or ever.... but high school marching band FTMFW!
