Week 2 of attempting my own programming. 4 sets of 6 at 415 (70%) then 2 singlea at 440 (75%). Was suppose to do pause squats but it was late so saved them for the morning. I will total higher in sleeves in november then my best wrap meet. Everything feels good and im feeling confident. #strangelifts #magnibarbell #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #lifters4lifters #powerlifting #completenutritioncoralville #completenutrition #apemanstrong #like4like #follow4follow #198er #gomd #GoingForElite #pullsumoeatbutt @strange_lifts @jbboss_lifters4lifters @completenutrition_coralville @magnibarbell

Attempting to go back to programming everything myself. Even though i hit a rough patch in my training before, i still have never gotten as much out of training as when i write stuff out myself. Not that others dont work but i just run through the motions. Writing things out and making a plan makes me feel more accomplished when things are coming together. ○●○●○ So... Day 1- Deadlifts (sumo). 3 sets of 4 @ 80% (465) followed up by 2 singles at 70% (410). Finshed everything off with GHR's, glute bridges, and pause squats. Goals are set and im going to get them come November! ○●○●○ #strangelifts #magnibarbell #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #lifters4lifters #powerlifting #deads #deadlifts #sumo #198er #like4like #follow4follow #completenutritioncoralville #completenutrition #GOMD #pullsumoeatbutt @strange_lifts

Neck at this point feels like complete shit from squatting earlier in the week. No clue whats really wrong with it but moving certain ways causes pain that runs from my right trap up to my eye. So deloading everything to try and help that out some. First time ive really done a "deload". My plan during this week is to rest up, recover from whatever is going on with my neck, set goals for the near & far future, and plan to get to them. The strongest i have been came from being so set on achieving the goals i planned that i refused to not get there. Ive settled to much in the last 6 months. Minimal things have been acheived because i dont know what im really working towards. Theres been no goals/plan besides showing up, which is definitely not enough to grow in this sport. Im ready to focus in and start making some "real!" progress! #magnibarbell #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #lifters4lifters #strangelifts #powerlifting #198er #goals #like4like #follow4follow #GoingForElite #GOMD #deload #deads #deadlifts #sumo

Bench with chains today! For as shitty as my squat and deadlift feels lately, bench just feels good. Did 3 sets with 90# of chains. 1st & 2nd set 225 bar weight and 3rd set with 245 bar weight. Threw on the @mbslingshot and did 275 bar weight + 90# in chain x 2. Then since everything felt good did 1 last set with 275 bar weight + 130# in chain (405ish at the top). Wanted 2 only got 1. Finished with singles at 275. Video shows my last set. ○●○●○ #strangelifts #magnibarbell #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #powerlifting #upapower #bench #benchboner #gangsterwrap #like4like #follow4follow #completenutrition #completenutritioncoralville #iowacity #coralville #198er #gomd #GoingForElite @strange_lifts @jbboss_lifters4lifters (at Magni Barbell)

While out on vaction with @paigebarsema we wanted to still get at least one workout in. Found #crossfitbranson and they welcomed us right in! After 2 days of being sick i still wanted a decent squat session so i wrapped up for fun with the @jbboss_lifters4lifters wraps. Only worked up to 445 x 2. Was using the oly bar with no knurling on my back, wraps for the first time since the meet, and flat shoes (been using oly shoes for 2+ years). Moved pretty good considering the factors and all the changes im attempting to make. #crossfat #crossfitbranson #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #powerlifting #upapower #198er #squat #juggernaut #jtsstrenght #jugglife #GOMD #like4like #follow4follow #GoingForElite #wrapped #strangelifts @strange_lifts @crossfitbranson @jbboss_lifters4lifters (at CrossFit Branson)

First time squatting not in oly shoes in probably 2 years. And ditched the knee sleeves last week. Sooooo.... i pretty much dont have any clue how to squat anymore. Ditching the oly shoes for now after hearing @mad_scientist_duffin on the @markbellspowercast . Got lots of work to do but ill get back up there. Had @paysonnossaman there to yell at me to get up because he couldn't catch me if i failed lol. @magnibarbell @jbboss_lifters4lifters @flagnorfail @apemanstrong @strange_lifts #strangelifts #magnibarbell #460 #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #powerlifting #upapower #198er #squat #skwaat #like4like #follow4follow #completenutritioncoralville #completenutrition #iowacity #coralville #GOMD

4 x 5 @ #245. Was suppose to do accessories but got excited and wanted to play with my squat form after listening to @mad_scientist_duffin on @markbellspowercast . Going to take some work but just trying out the explanation on how the feet should be was a little eye opening. Also have to keep rocking the @apemanstrong hat because its still white and i just cant have that. #apemanpower #apemanstrong #powerlifting #magnibarbell #strangelifts #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #bench #juggernaut #jtsstrenght #jugglife #GOMD #like4like #follow4follow #GoingForElite #completenutritioncoralville #completenutrition #iowacity #coralville @strange_lifts

Last deadlift day in the 10s phase! Finally! The only lift i hate doing for reps. Amrap set at #390 and got 12 reps. Cant wait to move on to 5's. Almost puked twice during this. #strangelifts #magnibarbell #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #BossApproved #apemanstrong #powerlifting #198er #deads #deadlifts #juggernaut #jtsstrenght #jugglife #pulls #GOMD #like4like #follow4follow #GoingForElite #completenutritioncoralville #completenutrition #iowacity #coralville #EatButt #pullsumoeatbutt @strange_lifts @apemanstrong @juggernauttraining (at Magni Barbell)

Week 3 of @juggernauttraining 10s realization phase. Yesterday was squats and had to amrap 75% (#300) and got 15. Only thing holding me back on more was not passing out, strength was there for at least 5 more. Then today was bench. Same percent amrap 75% (#230) and got 11. Was hoping to get closer to 14 or 15 but ill take it either way. Then because i wanted to try something new i did floor press with dumbbells. Good stability challenge since im still not great with dumbbells yet. #strangelifts @strange_lifts #magnibarbell #jbboss #jbbossflexnation #flexnation #powerlifting #juggernaut #jtsstrenght #jugglife #GOMD #like4like #follow4follow #BossApproved #bench #upapower #198er #completenutritioncoralville #completenutrition #realization #GoingForElite #GOMD #ALPHAWRAPS #apemanstrong @apemanstrong (at Magni Barbell)
