View Full Version : Dildo does off-season.....
Woohoo off-season, can do some serious lifting.
Current morning weight 187lbs, excpect to be at the very LEAST 205lbs in 4months, which is pretty doable.
Program will run over 4 months from basic strength/hypertrophy at the start to more speed strength at the end.
Volume/intensity within the 4 weeks goes high/medium/v.high/low.
Cant think off anything else u f**kers would want to know. When i can be bothered ill post a days eats too since weight gain is a pretty big factor here.

A)Wide stance Andersons - 1" below parallel
3@80kg
3@90kg
3@90kg
3@90kg
3@95kg - Nearly didnt get third rep.
First time for these, was trying hard to sit back and "open up my groin" like a fat man once told me, felt good, all hips and hammies.
B)SLDL's
6@40kg
6@50kg
6@60kg - Too easy, move up next week.
C)DB reverse lunges
6@22.5kg DB's
6@22.5kg DB's - Hard in a tireing sort of way, use heavier DB's next week.
I really, really f***in hate unilateral work, which alone is prob a good enough reason to be doing it.
D1)Pull Throughs
8@5 from bottom of stack
7@4 from bottom of stack
7@4 from bottom of stack
Not done these much but think my tech is geting better, really trying to squeeze my glutes at top and force my hips fwd in front of my body. May run out of stack in the near future, might try and use a seated row stack if i do.
D2)Reverse cable sidebends
3x12 about middle of stack, forgot to check where pin was.
Will edit this as more meals go down the hatch.........Generally dont go longer than 2hrs 30mins without a meal, shorter if i can manage.

I know you know what your doing mate, seeing that surprised me.... the "forbidden excersise" !!! Whats the thinking with that, just that becasuse its very light its not a problem? :confused:
As long as you dont have any pre-existing shoulder probems and only bring the bar down to eye / ear level then there shouldn't be any worries.
Does anybody else think this thread ought to be called "Dildo Does Dallas",no,just me then...

This actually is a band pull apart but i start from above my head, good scap excersise. No bar or actual pressing involved.

Hehe i was going for the "dildo does dallas" type thingy. :038:
Ok went over my ankle last night, its pretty swollen and im not sure if ill be able to do my LB session tomorrow, much iceing and moveing and see how it goes.
Looking at tomorrows workout snatches from hang should be ok as will ghr, bulgarian squats are def out though as the resting foot dosnt like the stretch and front squats are subject to late fitness test.
On the plus side i can look at all the pretty purple colours.

Ha my ankle is about ten times better today, think ill get in some light front squatting, regardless ill be 100% in a few days........funky.

A)Snatch Grip High Pull
3@40kg
3@40kg
3@45kg
3@45kg
2@50kg
2@50kg
Was going 70/80/90% but was low with the estimates, just as well coz the last rep was a wee bit of an OH press, i would never have gotten 60kg. This confirms that i truly suck from hang positions. Need to get some chalk as well, slippy bar aint helpin.
B)Front Squats
6@60kg
6@80kg
5@80kg
Moral victory as i didnt think id manage these at all, not what i was hopeing for but better than nothing. Ankle kinda hot and swollen after these.
C)Light barbell step-ups
3x10
D1)Natural Glute-hams
3x8
All with helping push off, trying to keep my hips in front off my body at all times, another good fat man tip.
D2)Pull down abs
3x10
I suck at these, the weight i want to use means i have to almost be at a 45degree angle but anything lighter doesnt feel enough..........any tips from anyone?
All in all my performance in this sessions confirms that i am slightly gay, im also really tired, im going to eat constantly to make up for this.
Liking this journal, something a bit different, the high pulls were just the top half then, not from the floor?
Yeh just the second pull, i really suck when you take out the first pull.
Glad you like it :)
From the hang means very little knee ext.
Don't you mean hang-powersnatch?
the last rep was a wee bit of an OH press
If its a snatch grip high pull then there is no catch/press.
For me a snatch grip high pull is like a clean pull, but with a snatch grip and the bar comes up higher (high pull), and you drop it. No catch, no OH.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
God damn it, this is the second time i done this, did the same in my first week of clean high pulls..............good spot. The benefits of keeping a journal become clear.
Ta mucho.
EDIT: To clarify i mean high pull with snatch grip but did powersnatch from hang, will be doing the former from now on.
LOL yeah good point, i was having a similair discussion with Alex over the difference between a push press, push jerk, squat press, jerk etc etc....
wow that makes my session even worse than it already was.

PP = OHP & leg drive
push/power jerk = leg drive & little jump, no leg split
split jerk = jump & split
squat press = BTK push press
squat jerk = never seen or heard of it. sounds dangerous too
try and find out what a clean deadlift is and what its used for and how that differs from conventional clean pull & conv deadlift, that took me fooooooking ages to find out
Is there not a difference between the catch of the push press and push jerk, one you dip to catch one you dont?
^^^^ yeah that was the consensus
Basically push jerk has a pronounced second dip and is minimal assistance from ub so plenty of leg drive.

well you can obviously jerk more weight than press (even with leg drive), so the difference in dip will refelect the diference in weight used. its out of nessecity, not "just because"

yep, something i want to start playing with soon...
