oring But Big: Beefcake Cycle 1, Week 3, Day 4

box jumps 2x5

OHP
85/100/110 1x5

Superset:
OHP 85 5x10
Barbell Row 85 5x10

Superset:
Lunges (Dumbbell) 60/hand 5x5
Hanging Leg Raises 5x10

That's it for cycle 1. Upping TM all around and give it another go. The numbers looked intimidating to me this cycle (especially Squat and Dead, OHP not so much) but I haven't missed any reps. Let's keep rolling.

Burpees 3 sets in :39 (goal of 13) - 13,13,7
My body knows that I skipped burpees my last two workouts

Finished week 3 of Young Grasshopper! Really feel like I've dialed in the training weights. Squats feel heavy (as they should), but doesn't feel unsafe. Similar with deadlifts; heavy but not maxed. My issue with deadlifts is my grip is getting weak towards the end of the set. Is it natural/acceptable to stop and get a new grip mid-set?

Last night

Squats: 265 3x7
Bench: 180 3x8
RDLs: 235 3x8
Iso Chest Press: 90 3x8

I was supposed to get 8 reps on squats, but my legs were tired. Might reset the 8's to 245 next week and work back up.

Are you doing double overhand currently? You could always switch to a mixed grip (one overhand, one underhand) on your heavy working sets. I do everything above 225 mixed grip.

Yes, double overhand. This is the first time I've used weights instead of machines so still learning.

I'll definitely try that on my next set. Thank you for the suggestion.

good to see lots of new guys in this thread.

resetting grip on double overhand is fine, mixed grip is fine too and will give you better grip overall. just make sure you switch which hand is which often.

Lowered the weight on my normal back routine and focused on TUT:

Pull ups (with 50 lbs band) - 5 x max (9,8,6,5,4) 3 seconds up/3seconds down

Shrugs - 4x8 @ 145 with 5 second hold
EZ bar curls - 4x6 @ 65 with 4 second pause

Bar Rows - 4x6 @ 145 with 4 second hold
DB Hammer Curls - 4x6 @ 35 3 seconds up/3 seconds down

Band Lat pull downs 4x10 with 5 second hold
Band seated pulls 4x10 with 5 second hold

TUT workouts are boring

Boring But Big: Beefcake Cycle 2, Week 1, Day 1

Kettlebell Swings 35 x 3x8

Squats
180/210/240 1x5
180 5x10

Chins 6x6, 2x5, 1x4 (50 total)
Dips 50 in 6 sets (10,10,10,10,7,3)

Burpess, 3 sets for :39 seconds - 13,6,9. Goal was 13 each.
It's becoming obvious that if I want to achieve the Villain Burpee Challenge, I need to do Burpee work everyday, rest days included. My capacity to hit the numbers drops dramatically after days off.

Hit a bench rep PR yesterday of 275x15. Been a very long time since I've had one of those. Bench has been stagnant for a while.
