I have the Rogue FW loadable handles. Those or a trap bar make a huge difference. The weight being below your hands means they don't roll like db's.

It basically almost doubles the amount of weight you can use. That really helps with traps and upper back.

I miss being able to do farmers walks. And dead lifts. 4-5 more months at least before I get that back.

I don't miss squats tho, eff those things. My chicken legs miss them, but not I.

Yesterday was power bench. 265 x 1 x 3

Weighted dips
Close grip bench
Iso tricep cable kickbacks

Decided to do heavy single deadlifts this morning. I’d never put more than 275 on the bar for deadlift.

Hit 275 smooth so I decided to jump up to 315. Hit that smooth with good bar speed so I jumped up to 350. Nailed it again!

New Deadlift PR 350. Think I still got more in the tank. 405 coming soon.

Okay I know you're just begging for someone to ask so I'll bite.

What are you getting up to 98000 pounds with? I added up my last workout and hit ~23000. Are your workouts like 3 hours?

I'm trying to estimate some numbers and my most exaggerated guesses based on your posted workouts don't get me halfway there.

Don't care if someone ask. Get a workout app, track what you lift, it adds it up for you. Even gives you a workout time and waisted time.

Workout this afternoon
Legs and back 109,000. Took 1hr and 40 min

I did heavy squat triples up to about tree fiddy today. Finished with some farmers walk and core work.

I don't mean to be rude, but I sort of question your calculator's math. 109,000 adds up to 218 reps with 500 pounds. Doing that sort of volume with that weight is insanity unless you're counting stuff like 1,000 pound leg presses with 4 inch ROM.

If you're squatting or deadlifting, you're a WSM competitor?

Good lord, I thought I did a lot of volume. 53 sets, whoa.

This is a positive thread, so I'm not going to be critical. I honestly lost track of the math, so I don't know if the calculations add up.

Are you getting results from that programming?

Shouldn't be anything to be critical about.

Yes, very good results and much less joint pain with high reps with less weight.

I work out 6 days a week. That's my Monday and Thursday workout.

Squat 210 3x8
Bench 180 5x5
Accessories

Felt good cutting back on the intensity. Fairly easy workout minus the fact that I’m not used to sets of 8+ on Squats.

Volume bench. 5 reps ascending from 225 to 235 in giant sets with db row and side laterals. 2 more giant sets of weighted, feet elevated pushups, rows and banded, weighted dips.

Then, strongman time. Carried my 300 LB sandbag around for the first time ever for 3 sets. Last one, failed the first clean and was worried I'd have to drag it 20 feet back into to garage, then got it. Finished with bloodflow restriction biceps.
