FF's trying to get back on the wagon training

More Fun training

30*10
40*8

Back squats

60*10
100*5
120*5
130*5
140*5

Dropset 100 *11

Some mobility work and that's it. Limited on time, and tired. Still - not bad sesh. Not that happy with the deads, but meh - it'll do. :)

Fun sesh lined up on Friday, including some bag work methinks! :D
 
It isn't really related to OHP. Strong shoulders are vital, sure, but overhead squatting involves a huge amount of stabilising activity such that OHP appears comparatively easy. :)

Try it and see. ;)
 
Unplanned **** around session

Well was planning on doing some mobility, and a bit of conditioning work today. And a guy wanted to do some trap deads and a bit of chin/dip ring work. So I though - sure, why not... though I had done deads a couple of days ago, still feeling a bit tight but meh, it was a bit of fun.

Trap Bar Deads:

60*10
100*8
120*5
150*5
170*3
190*3
200*1
210*1
220*1
230*1
240*f
240*f

Just couldn't get the bar off the ground with good form and 230 it was looking a bit weak. Considering the lack of recovery time from Wednesday - it did feel ****ing great! :D

Ring Dips supersetted with chins:

BW*5 // BW*5
20*5 // 20*5
20*5 // 20*5
20*5 // 20*5
BW*6 // BW*6


And that was it - damn I'm in pieces! Going to have to do some conditioning/OLY work over the weekend, and then back onto Cycle 3 of Wendler.

Then I'll start a new log for when I try out westside barbell again - I loved that sort of training - but I always bastardise them to make them FF Hybrid training! :D

Awesome lifting FF, its good to see you back up at these heavy weights :)

What was it you liked so much about westside? I wouldn't have pegged you for being in to that kind of training.
 
Volume / power / tweakability. I just like to change things a little. It's one of the routines I'm familiar with too. It's just another programme to give structure, but I then tweak it to suit my needs. Just like 5/3/1 - it's a basis, but then tweak it accordingly. :)

Yeah starting to get back to it - squats are still a little lagging behind - but I'm working on those. :)
