Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

I love all the intensity techniques you use. [emoji1320]
Occlusion training (uh no thank you)
5 sec pause in the hole (nope, not gonna even try)
Good stuff brother!

thanks man. i am trying to adapt to not getting hurt and working around tweaks and pains haha. i would love to just sling heavy weight around but now for some reason i get going really good and bam i get set back. i will say that this stuff is 10x more brutal and probably more taxing at the same time not destroying my recovery even though it is making me sore as hell. had a young power lifter tell us yesterday that we were nuts and if we always do the slow time under tension with holds. not by choice my man, i am hurt right now and cant slow down in prep haha. now i have to work around figuring out how to sprinkle in both the nasty intensity stuff with some heavy work as well. i need to find me a youngster that follows directions to a t that i can experiment on and see what happens blending the two together

yesterday

cardio/chest

35min step mill am fasted

incline db press 25x15 40x15 55x15 60x8 65x8/3 (all tut reps about 20sec per rep give or take)
hs incline press 5sec neg 45x8 75x8 90x8 115x8 115x6/2
hs bench mr 45x2 90x2 135x2 145x4/6(20sec between rounds)
incline pro fly 30x10 35x10/3
pec minor dip x25 x23
dips x12 x11

done for the day. i wish i could put into words the pain and burn from the super slow tut reps. it seems like the first 4-5 are bearable and just a tad bit shaky but after that it is one hell of a serious test of pain tolerance and focus. that and it's more fun to watch a training partner struggle on them than doing them yourself. we also hit the top set on the hammer incline and i was having issues so we did the last set or 2 with pure negatives. that just iced the cake after we burned it to the ground. still help pretty good explosive strength for the normal presses but had to have a little spot to lock out of the last rep on the last set or 2. no issues at all today so all in all a good session. going to be hitting it solo for the remainder of the week.

done for the day. actually a pretty good day in today but got irritated and shut it down early. i went to my normal gym where i train when i dont have a buddy and their was only maybe 5 or so people in there. so giant sets started off good but even though people saw me and what i was doing they kept taking my shit. i wasnt moving slow or wasting time either. anyway i was going to tack on another movement or two and then do another different round of giant sets but it was a no bueno. to pissed off and frustrated and it started to get crowded. that's the cool thing about my buddies facility. the members there are considerate and if they want to jump in they ask, they dont just take it. anyway still got a hell of a pump and my whole back is tore up today. so i did get some damn good work in. going to take an unsched day off to do some realty work for a friend. so no training thursday other than cardio.

done for the day. nasty session today with lots of back to back movements and a hell of a brutal pump. actually surprisingly strong considering the oxygen requirement for all the movements. i may have underestimated the weight on the lower end on a lot of the movements but this was more of a feeler run to see where i am at. no issues at all with back legs or knees. so a hell of a good day in the books.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Looks like a ridiculous session. How did you decide which exercises will be in each Giant Set?

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Well yeah, lower back got fired up....look at all that volume!! Holy Hell.
Did this session take longer than usual or about the same because of the giant sets and pace?

a little under an hour and a half. i think it was about 118 to be exact and that was with a partner. going to try to add in the banded rack pulls at the end as a solo movement next week to really destroy it haha
