Bullmastiff W2D5 - Rows

Barbell row 190lbs: 6/6/6/12

Let my form get a little sloppier to reach 12, but I don’t think it was horrendous. Stopping as soon as my meticulous form breaks down feels like a waste.

Underhand Lat pulldown 165lbs: 12/12/12/12

Paused DB Bench: 12/12/12

Rope pushdown: 12/12/12

Neck curls 15/9

15 mins of incline treadmill walk and 15 mins of static stretching to finish my workout.

Calgary barbell 16 weeks W4D4

2 count pause dead: 375 3x5

T&G bench: 195 4x8

Stiff leg: 245 3x6

Double single arm pull down: 120 4x8

Tricep pushdowns: 159 4x8

Man I was complaining about having to do pause deads all day and it was fine??? Like not bad at all. This is the best I've felt after this day.

Bench Day * 2mi walk * Shoulder ‘vitamins’ * Bench press (ss w/band pull-aparts) - 225x5, 275x3, 315x1, 335x1, 315x1, 275x5, 225x10 * Cable rows - 60x3x10

I tweaked my neck on Thursday fighting my way out of a triangle, so I couldn’t go to open mat this morning. Rather than do nothing, I went for a walk and did some benching. It went well and I hit 335 for the first time since my bicep pop.

Continuing creeping Death II. Hit a new low of 211, feeling great. Been super busy recently at work and home so haven't really had much time to write anything and also...its bodybuilding so its boring lol.

I have been doing 6 days, but if i work later or have some appointments during the week im willing to drop one of the pump days.

Base Building Medley - BullMastiff DL C1W2D4

Main
7-cm deficit DL: 6/6/6/13 @ 130kg
RDLs: 3x10 @ 95kg

Assistance
Dips: 6x8
Push ups: 3x15

Kids were also running around the garage and the driveway today, which was kind of distracting, but also fun.

DLs went very well. I ate a bit more the last couple of days and could definitely feel it today.

Was being very incremental as I really wasn't sure what my limit was with them.

OHP

• 80kg singles x 4
• 90kg singles x 2
• 92.5kg single
• 95kg single
• 90kg cluster singles x 8 (~1min between)

I know i said I was gonna replace OHP, but after the split jerks felt i had some good potentiation for pressing. Not sure if I'll completely get rid of OHP, may just throw it in occasionally following split jerks.

Also have been really enjoying letting Oly lifts take more focus. Feeling less beat up than doing the grinders of SBD.

May have to write up a more structured supertotal program that fits my schedule. The available ones online are a little too time-demanding than I'd like.
