thanks guys :)

Beginning Thoughts: So...I've been eating properly off late. I want to total up my macros and then comment on my exact diet...So y'all might have to wait till next week.Workout and Videos: Started out with Front Squats. 165 lbs x 6 reps x 6 sets. You guys can only imagine how grueling this was. I set the safety bars really low and I kept going ass to grass causing my lower back to round.Overall Impression: This was a tiring workout. I have posted a lot of videos because I realize how important it is to have my form looked at. And secondly, this is about 90% of my workout...I have not recorded each and every set. |
So, I went to www.fitday.com and I typed everything I've been eating on a regular basis.
My bodyweight over the last 3 weeks has gone from 170 to 180 and I have been following a diet like this in the meantime. Protein: 282 g Carbohydrates: 121 g Fats: 60 g Total Calories = 2202 The percentage break-down [P / C / F]= 54 / 20 / 26 |

Great work Wolf. Enjoyed the vids and glad to hear you are making progress. Take care of yourself and enjoy the weekend.

Beginning Thoughts: I have been eating as usual....though I looked really bloated and fat today. It's weird coz I looked the complete opposite yesterday. Anyways, this was yesterday's workout...I got a couple of vids too.Workout and Videos: This was a very high-volume workout. Started off with some Unilateral Shoulder Presses and then moved onto some Weighted Chin-ups.Overall Impression: Good workout today. Next week will be harder because I'm supposed to be moving heavier weights. |
You are not locking out your pullthroughs. At least not all of them. You need to slow down and concentrate a bit more on each rep. The volume thing can really cause quality to go out the window, as you know, because of it becoming a rep counting thing. I'd rather see you pause a bit at the top of evertything to sort of exagerate the lockout. Emulate this for pullthroughs (in terms of the lockout especially):
It doesn't look like your rack pulls are all locked out completely. Really if you can't have that second where you can feel the glutes pinch...don't call it a full lockout. Again...you need to slow down and respect each rep a bit more. Set yourself. Don't get into bouncing it up and down. I think the front squats are maybe a bit heavy for you. Some reps were better than others but much of the time your entire back was caving over from the beginning. You are still going lower than you can handle. If you need to use a box for touch and go do so. Concentrate on setting the back and keeping it straight. I know with such volume it's very difficult but the idea is to use a weight you can do the volume with good form. Do not let the volume portions of this program bog you down. |
Beginning Thoughts: Several things went wrong today. Inspite of this there is good news and bad news. Good news is that diet was not one of the things which went bad today. Good news is also that I was able to lift some pretty heavy weight and most likely hit a huge PR on the Box Squats. The bad news is that I don't think my form was good. Bad news is also that the weight wasnt the problem: i slept in this really weird position last night and I slipped down some stairs today morning. So my right knee was feeling a bit weird and throughout my workout I could not concentrate on my damn glutes. I find it ironic that when I make up my mind not to take videos of my workouts, I put up the best form but when I decide to take videos my form breaks down. Since it is important for me to learn to stop being camera shy/conscious, I am not going to stop recording me...instead, I plan on recording atleast one set each and every session. :)Workout and Videos: I warmed up using the mobility drills in "Maximum Strength" and then I decided to do some Overhead Squats to make sure my hamstrings are getting too tight. Here is one of the vids: http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...urrent=OHS.flvOverall Impression: Decent workout. I'm feeling a bit low inspite of having hit a so called "PR" on Box Squats because I'm not too satisfied with my form. But....I guess we all live and learn but this is the second lower body workout where my form has been an issue. Last time it was rack deads and front squats...now box squats. Good news is that this is hopefully this week I can redeem myself on both the rack deads and the front squats :) |
