BUILDING A BEAST

[Marcus]

Good article... also important to bring to light illicit narcotics being used and abused by a lot of top level athletes that have related conditions

@RodgerThat badass log man! Learning a lot when I get to stop by

Today I was dicking around building a bunch of stuff for the team so I made chain collars and got some chain from an industrial yard only 30lb total 7.5' worth of 3/8th chain X2 used it for bench just to see how it was and it was really slick like chains a lot.

Slingshot bench 255+30lb chain 6x3
Banded deadlift 275 10x2
Incline bench 135 5x5
SS
BOR 135 5x5
Back extensions 3x16

Didn't want to fatigue myself too much so accessory lifts were kept light cause I'm going rock climbing for the next 2-3hours

 

[RodgerThat]

Feeling a bit meh during today's workout but I weighed in at 176 training weight so probably why.

Squats 315 6x3 with final rep of each set 2 count pause
Power cleans 185 2x2 dropped to 165 4x2 (wearing a tank top and too sweaty for the bar to stick on my shoulders so 185 wasn't happening nicely)
Front squats 225 4x4
OHP 125 5x5
Leg extensions 4x16
SS shrugs 225 4x16

Did some HIIT stuff
Farmers walks 350 30m
Skipping 2mins
Battle ropes 45 second
Repeat 5x

Did a 430lb 30m walk as well to feed the ego I wish I tried for a heavy farmer walk prior to the HIIT but I was gassed and I do a heavy deadlift tomorrow so
Didn't want to fatigue to much for that.

Comp Bench press 225+30lb chain 6x3
Deadlift 455 single @9RPE 365 6x3
Weighted pull ups BW+25 6x6
SS
Weighted dips BW+25 6x12
did some arm work
Neglected doing abs cause I can see mine now so for some reason it takes my motivation away from training them lol

Bodyweight morning 174.8 training weight 176.6

I'm hella athletic right now which is awesome but it's finally starting to hit me, I'm feeling small now. Everyone keeps saying looks like I've added 10lb of muscle since the summer but I don't fill out any of my shirts anymore and I basically dissapear if I turn side ways in the morning before I've had any carbs.

I'll probably have a large pizza for dinner Sunday night so that'll keep me sane for another week. It's funny how much of a difference your abs look Natty vs enhanced that's the only thing about the cut that I don't like. On test your abs look thick as fuck and fill out your stomach width wise without test I feel like there's a gap between obliques and abs. Still want to get down to 168lb and train there for a month before decided if I want to compete 74kg or 83kg in June. if I compete at 74kg I want to be able to hit a 600kg total to end up with a 430wilks to put me top 10 wilks in Canada if I compete in the 83kg I want to get a 630kg total (340lb/155kg bench 485lb/220kg squat 565lb/255kg deadlift) that will best all my gym lifts ever I'll be competing in June so I have a ton of time to build back up and I think I'm on the right track all the weights are feeling lighter and I'm getting rid of any weak points now before I transition into a full on powerlifting program

Leg smashed today

Clean&jerk 185 6x2
Front squat 225 6x3 negative RPE
Hack squat 4x8
Split jerk 135 4x3
Leg press 450 2x20
Single Leg extensions 90 4x16
Sled push 3 plates 40m 8x
Burpees 100 total minimal rest during breather breaks
Long stretch

Rock climbing tonight so didn't want to do any back dominant HIIT exercises and wanted to keep my hamstrings fresh for tomorrow's pulling.


Cleans are coming along really well I've been taking a lot of slowmo videos and fixed everything I can possibly find on them, I am going to try and find someone really high level in Olympic lifting to try and critique me more. My jerks still have a distance to go though I can't seem to commit to going deep enough into the lunge ever and my lumbar always seems slightly too arched even though the weight feels light above my head so working on core even more is my focus.

Well fuck I just reread my message last night had no idea I posted up in here and that shit is incoherent lol. So I ended up having some sort of reaction to something and my body just said fuck it, I have hives all over and my airway started to close and my speech slurred and I guess by the looks of the message I typed I wasn't all with it. I don't remember how I got myself to the hospital (I know I drove cause my car was in the parking lot and I had my keys but I don't know the route or why I ended up at that hospital cause there is a different one closer to my house I should have drove too). They aren't 100% sure what happened but they said it's some form or reaction to something I was exposed to and basically it was like an allergic reaction that attacked my whole body. Got a lot of drugs last night and stayed for examinations regularly. The hives are down significantly now and I'm feeling good (epi every 30mins makes you feel fucking great). I've been discharged for the day and they said I'm clear to do whatever I like but have to go back for more testing in the evening, so I double checked and ya it's cool if I smash weights going to go hit the gym now then run some errands before going back to see the specialist who's in tonight.

No going to lie I was in panic mode for a moment last night when my airway started to close up, not being able to breath while sitting on a couch is about as scary as life gets.

Weird man. Glad you're ok. No idea what it could possibly be?!

Well damn man, glad all is well. Something you ate maybe?

 

[RodgerThat]

@Marcus @insaiyan93 no idea what it could have been no, I ate all my regular Monday food I am fairly constant with my diet, nothing out of my regular routine all day and it I've been tested for allergies previously and have had none. I'm going for a bunch of tests so hopefully they can figure it out cause I look like I have leaprocy right now lol.

I'm in the gym right now and physically I feel great (probably all the drugs) I wouldn't even think I had any issues if it wasn't for the hives. I'll update you guys when I know what's up.

Try eating just half the shrooms next time and wait till they kick in before eating the rest.

Nothing like the panic from the first dose kicking in hard minutes after downing the second because the first wasn't working.

There's a very fine line between "I don't feel much yet" to "Please God, don't let me die" while rocking back and forth in the fetal position in the corner.

Never done any recreational drugs so can't say I've been in the same boat but whatever I was on last night had me feeling euphoric before I passed out

Even worse when that line is crossed before the other dose kicks in. When spending the next six hours in the hospital parking lot debating on going in seems like the only course of action. Good times.
