Talo's training and video log

Great showing Talo. Class win next time...;)

Thanks.

Last night I had a good massage. My lower back is killing me so I needed some work done. She focused on the back , but moved to the quads and hips because she figured that could be so it it's putting the pressure on my pelvis and lower back. Another one next week.

Had to take a few robaxisals before bed and that helped.

New program all written out for the next 4 weeks , which I will start on Monday as I want to give some time to heal up.

Also I read an amazing book last night called the art and science of making weight by Alwyn Cosgrove and Nick J. Grantham. I thought I had this process down ( as I've done it a few times ) , but I've missed a few things and I realize that I didn't refuel as best ( or proper ) as I should have.

Plan is to go from 235/240 down to 218 in the last few weeks/days. My diet has been cleaned up , but it is more important to stay strong and hopefully get well over 1300lbs .

Week 1 starts Mondy - I'm actually iching to get at this :D

Squat 75% 315 80% 335 85% 360

All done for 5 reps.

Squatted for the first time today .

315x5
335x5
360x5

this was heavy. Hips are tight , took a while to warm up. I've got to treat every workout the same and I'm not doing that.

Wake up , eat , wait , train , eat ..... Repeat.

I'm too much in the habbit of not prepareing for the gym . Time to get serious !

Morning weight 233

Full nights rest and a full belly !!!

Bench:
235x5
250x5
265x5

incline bench
2x12@165 ( 55%)

banded tri extensions

behind the head plate extensions

worked on good meet form. I'm hopeing I can bring this number up. If in four weeks I don't feel like it's moving I will switch things around to become more agresive with the bench .

You didn't say what you weighed in at? .... I just did a fantasy total and best case scenario is about 1155 and likely case is about 1090. I'm nipping at your heels.
