Training Partners I Have Loved and Lost
No don't worry this isn't that serious it's about my training buddy. Also about my ME Lower day. And also something I remembered about my bench from the other week.
Speed Squat PR (I am just kidding I don't really think that is a th...
And DREADlifts... because they aren't going well... get it.....
Trying to Not Train Like an Idiot
Bands I Did Not Mess Up, Shirt I Did Not Mess Up, Training Cycle I Did Mess Up
Deficit WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY Deadlift
Also got to rub my hands and body all over the nice new belt squat
8 Weeks Out and Changing Everything I Do
As I type that out that sounds like a terrible idea.... But potentially making some squat and dl changes.
Medium Mornings
HITHERTO UNEXPLORED TRAINING TERRITORY. And a picture of needles in my back but I am not reusing my sonic the hedgehog cosplay joke you're welcome.
Because Apparently No One Wants To Read Long Ass Posts
Speed bench and a JM PR, JK. But not JK. Also ONE OF MY BEST JOKES TO DATE YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE FOLKS
If You're Vertebrae Aren't Unfolding One By One, You're J...
That's what they say, right? RIGHT??!!?? Also the name of my hypothetical conjugate cover band is about 3/4 of the way through in bold so you at least have to skim through to FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. Also the second part of my joke is all the way at the end so you have to stick it out sorry.
99% Back to Regular Training 4 Out Of Shape Fatties (aka powerlifting)
Figuring out speed work and also apparently people want to read about other people's training so there is some of that in here too. Something for everyone!
Oh Funny Story My Low Back Is Weak Too
Also a video for sissies and gym equipment ranked by lazy factor. And also A JOKE.
What Makes a Good Coach?
One of Dave Tate's answers to an Instagram Q&A prompted me to think about what makes a good coach in more detail... and yeah, this kind of turned into a verbal Jerk-off of Dave. But I believe what he does for lifters is the pinnacle of coaching.
Well Apparently My Upper Back Is Weak. Also 12 weeks out...
Also I hate to say it but this stupid hypertrophy/conditioning block worked.
Band News Bears
Glorified rubber bands: 3 – Lily : 0. Also 4 puns in 6 sentences. Lily: 4- Your Brain: 0
Speed Squats and ME Bench and More High Rep Hell
I am feeling this bodybuilding shit physically but not emotionally.
Speed Lower, ME Upper, and an Obvious Observation
My training log gets interrupted while I ruminate on the nature of programming changes to address weaknesses
Tuesday Was The Bomb.Vom
Back to touching barbells, some projectile leg pressing, my foray into bodybuilding, and a BONUS JOKE THAT I MADE UP
2 Jacked 2 Bat
Softball is infinitely more dangerous than powerlifting and #blessed these are my last two training sessions of non barbell work. BONUS VIDEO: the reason powerlifting is the only sport I currently attempt.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS ANYMORE I’VE BEEN CONSUMED BY THE BARBE...
I’m reduced to writing about my strong loins and glute flutes. Don’t read this if you don’t want to know what the latter might be. Spoiler alert: it’s what we should call colonoscopies.
Fixing My Bod, My Training, and Someone Else's Training. Wow! Somet...
Did you know if rehab exercises have a Harry Potter related name there is a 300% increase in the chance that they will actually get done?
Box Squats and Not Squats
Aka learning how to coach newer lifters and my continued off season non bar touching.
Back 2 Training
How I structure my training usually except all of it smushed into one day this weekend.
2 Meet 2 Reflect
Ok it’s actually called thoracic outlet syndrome aka Jurassic outlet syndrome which is what I thought happened at a dinosaur park when someone turns the power off and the dinosaurs become DINEosaurs. ALSO other things I am going to work on moving forward. Aside from my jokes.
Meet Report: 1,200 Total at IPA Buckeye Brawl
It was my first time representing Team elitefts at a meet. The support I got from them was unreal. Oh, and the team shirt was pretty cool, too.
I LOVE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BENCH 2 WEEKS OUT
...NOT. Also speed bench, light squats, other lifting things of that nature
The Ol Five Hunderoo Squat
Also a clusterfuck bench (I mean a LEARNING EXPERIENCE), and some other LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
the ol 3 plate bench except with 2 plates a quarter and two dimes
and the real reason I do the innie outtie machine all the time
4 Weeks Out (which I can now say since I actually signed up for the meet)
Also I benched 315 finally and it was a little bit of a bummer. Also I hit a Funkadelic PR by saying "shit goddamn get off your ass and jam" 3x in a week so I have that going for me. Also I rate this log 3/5 for yokes and 4.5/5 for jokes.
Yes I Squatted to Depth Thank You Very Much PART 2
an openerish squat, some shit shirt benching, and ONE OF THE BEST PUNS I HAVE MADE THUS FAR.
Yes I Squatted to Depth Thank You Very Much
215x3 raw bench, an openerish squat, some shit shirt benching, and ONE OF THE BEST PUNS I HAVE MADE THUS FAR.
PROGRAMMING SECRETS REVEALED
I've been waiting to whip out a click bait-ey title and boy did I slam dunk that one. Boom goes the dynamite. oh right also deadlifting. And a dream I had about Bette Midler.
Battle of the Reverse Bands
My title is funny because we did a lot of reverse bands this weekend AND I made up band names for a lot of people in this so it works on multiple levels. OK? Also did you know stand presses are a real exercise not just fake floor presses for decrepit powerlifters who can't make it to the floor?
THE TIME DAVE LEFT ME TO ROT IN LONDON OHIO
Jesus saves!!! Also speed squats and speed bench- 6 weeks out. But we all know the real reason you are here.
DE Lower and Upper Including a Shameful Secret and a Not Shameful Video
I am like Samuel L Jackson in Unbreakable. A movie which I have not seen but I knew there was some movie about fragile bones so I googled FRAGILE BONES MOVIE and that is what came up.
Max Effort Chain Pressing, a Video "Tutorial", and TOO MANY Ru...
After I high fived myself for my ability to combine two words together and yell it loudly, I wondered “Is powerlifting fun? Was it fun for me when I started?”
or
the one where I compare myself to eagle talons
Dynamic Effort REVENGE
October 4oor press (read that as a mix of four and floor). Also a weirdly long diatribe about my thoughts on working around or pushing through nagging pain and Dave's sad dirty secret
10/3 Speed Lower/ A Regrettably Millenial Post
There are two videos, a meme, and lots of pictures. This is the most millenial thing I will ever do. May the Jewish god of powerlifting have mercy on my soul.
A Lil about Lily
I have been reading EliteFTS logs and articles since I started powerlifting in 2012. For the entirety of that time, I thought it would be amazing to have a log and be on the team. I have actually written out fake logs in my head a number of times. But I never thought it would […]
