Workout had to be cut short today. Despite that it was pretty good, I found an exercise that actually fatigued my lats without anything else, which is awesome.
Db rows (no rest between sets) These were more of a warm up then anything

70x10
80x10
90x10

Seated high pulley pull (cant call it a row or a pulldown really) w/lat pulldown handle

Trying to avoid any arching/ using a wider grip to hit my chest more. my hands kept sliding outwards on the stupid bar and at the end of each "Set" I would my hands would practically be touching the pins. This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay harder then usual but hopefully I will get alot more control/bottom end power out of it

Dude, I would honestly love to but I would have to pull some strings.
My dad and I share a vehicle and he usually takes it in the mornings which is why a lot of the time I come in later on in the afternoon with Jen.
I would seriously love to take you up on your offer but I am going to have to see what I can do about getting out there first. I suppose I can talk to you next time I see you.
As far as my "Split" is concerned. I am still trying out and toying with different concepts/ principles and trying to figure out what works best. I am probably going to keep switching things up as the weeks/months go on.
That said, I really hope we can work something out as far as training goes. I take it that you really like your volume and I know I would probably get my ass kicked but I like that kind of shit!

Great day today. Felt strong as hell on the bench. The only reason I had to stop on the first set was because of my gym's wondeful no chalk policy and the bar slipping way too far apart.

Just so you know, every rep on a pin press is supposed to be from a dead stop, no bouncing ff the pins

I know that. I just call it a pin press to signify where I start the lift from. I don't bounce if off the pins however just stop right at them and go up again. If I was bouncing off them I would get some sick reppage though, I might even do that if the gym is empty enough.

Another crap workout.
See, I am 300+ pounds. You would think I eat a crap load of crap because to weigh this much you pretty much have to.
I could understand being say....a bit heavy I can deal with that. Some people are mean't to carry higher bf% naturally I dont mind I have always been chubby.
I have no idea why I am 300 pounds. I really must re-iderate the "you need to try to be this heavy" point...hell guys weighing 250 at my height are usually pigs. I know I have a crap load of muscle but that makes things even more confusing.
See I eat healthy, like boringly healthy. 90% of my diet is egg,chicken,salad,tuna and protien shake (real fat man food eh). This is not to say I am an angel. I do occasionally have fast food (during the month of september I had mcdonalds and taco bell and that was more then I had in the past few months combined) and I do eat the odd carb here and there.
But people who eat like me aren't 300 pounds, Maybe no 8% bodyfat, but not fat? I am active I workout (obviously) I eat better then everyone I know who don't workout yet I am fatter then them.
A few months ago I was fed up and decided to run the "Velocity" diet (look it up, basically Protien shakes+Essential healthy fats are all you consume the entire diet) at the end of the 3 weeks guess how much weight I lost
are you ready
its pretty impressive
are you sure you are ready?
I gained 5 pounds.
Explain that for me please. That defies basic thermodynamics.
I honestly haven't been hungry (Except RIGHT after working out) in about a year even If I dont eat for a couple days.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways this relates to my workout because I have been running around 1600 calories a day and so I am weak as all fcuk
Sorry about the rant I needed to get it off my chest.

I ran 2kms without much trouble though...so thats good...i guess

These past 2 weeks have been shyt in order of consistancy
Today I realised that I have really strong shoulders but my rotator cuff problems are still messing hard with my bench and ohp.

Funny day today. Some grumpy old man came up to me and started yelling at me.
I was doing rack pulls..which I understand are loud, I also understand 99% of the gym population is ignorant towards ACTUAL training and therefore they naturally fear it..or whatever. Anyways I actually go ahead and start doing singles whilst sliding the negative portion of the lift down my legs (at the expense of ruinining my back but whatever) to try to keep the noise down. Around my 4th set this old man runs up to me and yells "SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WORKOUT YOUR F'ing Dropping the weights." I apologize to him and try to explain that I am putting it down as quietly as possible he just snaps "YOUR DROPPING THE WEIGHTS" and runs off to go be mad. I actually went ahead and wrapped towels around the bar to make it as quiet as possible.
See the thing about this guy, is that it really had nothing to do with me "dropping the weights" I gurantee you this guy just did not like me and decided it from the moment he saw me. Some people just like to be miserable I guess.
It's sad that most gym these days have to bend over backwards for these assholes who don't give a Shit about working out....meh

Im not sure if you realize it, but you havent gone over 3 reps on the back squat for any of your heavy sets, and you literally do no assistance work for lower body... and I cant really remember seeing much core training either.
Your squat is going up still, but that will happen when you weigh 3 bills and your working up to 4 plates.
I really think simply adding in 5 sets of 10 of some hamstring work like a weighted hyperextension to start, and some simple core work will really help you out.
I also firmly believe that once your squat is more in proportion to the rest of your lifts youll have an easier time making progress with upper body.
Also, talk to your doctor about your tough time losing weight... that sounds like some sort of thyroid problem where you gain weight off the velocity diet.

I totally agree with you 100%. Right now the only thing I care about with my Squat/Deadlift is not being in pain while doing it. I really need to get more focused with it however, you are right.
As far as going to a doctor, no. I am going through a lot of shit in my life right now and have been putting my body through lots of abuse recently. I am going to try to up start working on cardio and not treating my body like a piece of shit and see if it helps.
Edit: I just realized I probably haven't mentioned much that I have some lower back problems. I have been lifting consistently for about 2.5ish years total (Removing a bunch of gaps) and I have probably trained my squat a total of 8 months. If you count the times when I am actually pushing it....2 months tops?
Right now I am basically just trying to get in whatever lowerbody stuff I can without aggravating myself into being a cripple again. Which is why its silly that I am not hammering myself with core/assistance work.

One thing with the abs too, is change up the training... dont just hit crunchs for 100 reps, switch up high reps and heavy weights..
so stuff like db side bends, and standing crunchs with the rop attachment in the lat pull down.... to ab wheel and hanging leg raises for high reps...
stress can add as much weight on a frame as a bad diet... so get your fat ass into a massage theripist... they can relieve stress as well as working the low back.. and get a chiro too!!!

Really quick "workout" last night. Basically I felt weak as hell last night so I went to the gym to bench 330. I am using 300 as my working my max in 5/3/1 and 300 is 90% of 330.
I hope that makes sense. Anyways it was easy and I was probably good for 350 last night, I figure that puts me around 365 maybe on a perfect day. Or not? Who knows.

Quick lame session today.
On my final set of oh press I did a couple strict then a couple with a bit of a kip just give it momentum and the last 2 were all out pushpress
Oh press
barx10
135x5
150x5
160x5
175x11
Bottom up bench- the powerrack at the gym I was at (Havent been to it in half a year- my membership is good for any gym in the chain) literally had the bar touching my chest with a totally flat back, usually when I do this I arch up quite a bit for the pins to touch my chest....needless to say it was hard
I worked up to 250 for a bunch of "semi" singles (kind of a cluster set really) It was HARD
Then I tried Db press but I hated the benches (Way to high) so I did 1 set of 85 for 10
then I did neutral grip Db clean and press for 10 sets of 3
then a crap load of front bar raises with 65 pounds
Really all over the place day. Which is why I am typing "Then I did, then I did, then I did" like a ****ing moron

That was a real solid bench press today! That's the best set I have ever seen you do! That's alot of reps with alot of weight!
I had 2 fingers on the bar... so my spotting was minimal on the last 5!

Thanks! It was probably the best benching I have seen me do! You spotted me the first time I did 315 if things keep going this way soon you will spot me for my first 405 too!
