I'm focusing on pausing juuust off of my chest, and milking the pauses, to really work on tightness in that area, making the lift harder, and to hammer driving through my sticking point, which is usually about midway through the press.

These are BRUTAL, but effective with rep work. The Gain Train is a rollin'🤘🏻 Song: "Zeig Dich" - Rammstein Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

I decided to try pushing my Paused deadlifts to the next level, and really focusing on making good, long pauses of about 2-3 seconds. I'm still pausing around the same area: just off the floor, because that is where I tend to be weakest. It may not seem like much, but adding Just that extra second or so of time under such heavy tension really does make it more difficult! If I can keep progressing with this slight adjustment, I think I am going to see big progress on the horizon 🤘🏻. Song: "Sex" - Rammstein Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Same deal as with the Paused Bench hypertrophy work, I am focusing on minimal arching, to extend the range of motion, and trying to be as quick and explosive, as possible. These start to feel pretty tough, at the last 2-3 reps! Song: "Deutschland" - Rammstein Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Hypertrophy work after my main heavy paused bench pressing. For these, I am focusing on having a less pronounced arch, to increase the range of motion, while also having my grip be a finger more narrow than my primary grip. Nice way to get in some good speed and technique work, while also getting some volume work in, for the muscles 🤘🏻. Song: "Engel" - Rammstein Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

These feel quite punishing when doing them for sets and reps! Really feel it in the quads. Hoping for some big progress, from these 🤘🏻 Song: "Fuck the System" - System of a Down

Haven't done these in a while! I figured these would be a good alternative to do for Paused Squats, and to really hammer the quads, and focus on pounding my sticking point, in heavy squats.

I have been itching to finally try out stiff-legged deadlifts for quite a while, so I decided I would take the opportunity of a new program run to start utilizing them, to pound the posterior chain. However, I got the idea to make it even more intense with a Snatch-Grip and a defecit via Gen X Power, who he learned from ProphetFear. I figured the Snatch-Grip will really help enforce lat tightness on my reps, and that defecit should only pulverize my posterior chain, even more. I think this exercise is going to pay some big dividends in strengthening the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back, and make them more resilient in that high hip, rounded over position, while also hopefully making my lockout stronger. I'll probably try this with a belt soon, just so I can have a bit more peace of mind, with pushing the weight. Let's see where this goes 🤘🏻 Song: "Get to the Gone" - Static-X Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Man, my benching just felt absolutely on point, today. These felt so smooth, and effortless. Love me some Larsen Pressing. PS. This song makes me go absolutely ballistic, hahaha 🤘🏻.

I very suddenly contracted a sort of stomach bug or something the day before, and was totally KO'd. Vomiting, feverish, and bed ridden. So needless to say, I was feeling very low energy, and was not even sure if I should lift, or give it another day to be safe, and recover. However, I got some coffee in me, and decided to give it a go. Lo and behold, I think that this is the easiest and smoothest that 190 Kgs for reps has moved, yet! Easy work. I'm trying to take just a little bit of extra time between reps, to really focus on consistency in form; which I feel much more confident in doing, as my strength and stamina feels far better than it used to, being in that leaned over position. Hook grip is just feeling better, and better. Strong and resilient. It's like I barely even feel the bar in my hands, even at high weights.

Squats are also starting off strong, this block! I think I still have room to improve, in terms of performance; and energy and strength felt a bit low going in to this. Overall however, I am feeling pretty good about the skwats. 170 kgs is also feeling like no big deal, now. I remember not too long ago when getting to 170 x 5 was a big goal for me. Here, I felt like I could have hit it for 10 or so reps. Just got to stick to the plan, keep recovery in check, and the gains will come 🤘🏻.

It's been a long while since I have done these! I wanted to switch from doing Tempo Bench Press, as I think I have done them for long enough for now, and I was getting bored with it, lol. I was debating on whether to jump in to doing Pin Press, or these, to help address my strength and tightness in the bottom position, and address my sticking point. I decided to start with these to first really focus on building my strength and tightness at the bottom, and off the chest, and then eventually hit the Pin Press, to really hammer my sticking point. I didn't want to start too heavy, as I need to gauge what my estimated max is for RPE. However, starting with two plates isn't bad, at all; and it was quite easy. I just need to work on trying to keep the distance from the chest for my reps as consistent as possible, which is understandably a lot harder without something to rest the bar on. I am sure I'll get better with that, though, as I reacquaint myself with the movement 🤘🏻 Song: "Seven Headed Whore" - Iced Earth Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Just blastin' my favorite Gojira song, and deadliftin'. I decided to push the hook grip a bit further, and start from the beginning/higher rep range pulling with it, as opposed to doing it in the later/lower rep months. Feeling great! This block is starting off very promising! All of the lifts are overall starting off pretty strong, and significantly better than where I started, during the last one. 2024 is gonna be a good year. I can feel it 🤘🏻 Song: "Stranded" - Gojira Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Deadlifts were once again disappointing, and I was feeling really gassed by this point. However, I needed to get some sort of win, today. So pushing for another 2.5 Kgs on the RDLs was my mission. It's getting tough! Song: "As I Slither" - Kataklysm Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Once again, nothing I haven't done before. However, I am considerably lighter, and going from this, I'd say as a conservative estimate, my current paused max is probably around 120 Kgs, or so. So not too far off from where I was earlier, when I was a lot heavier. Some big gains in the future I think, once I pack some Weight back on 🤘🏻 Song: "Cradle" - Mudvayne Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Man, I remember when 160 was a crushing weight, for me. Now, it is no big deal! Even at this light weight. Perspective is key. Remember to appreciate how far you have come 🤘🏻 Song: "Morgenstern" - Rammstein

Energy and strength are definitely waning, but hey, I am almost hitting my PR weight with relative ease, while being much lighter; so I'll take it as a win!

Given how easy I had smashed 160 for 4 (+1) the week before, I thought a little 2.5 kgs bump would not be too big of a deal. Boy, was I wrong! I think it boiled mostly down to feeling tired, and it being a bit of an off-day. Still nabbed a PR, but it was a tough one for sure, haha. Song: "Twilight of the Thunder God" - Sabaton, Peter Tägtgren

Deadlift session was a bit underwhelming, today. So I was determined to make some sort of progress, today. One step at a time 🤘🏻 Song: "Holy Mountains" - System of a Down" Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

Bench Press Top Single after my Squatting from my Block 3 Week 2 Squat and Bench Session. This is of course nothing I haven't done before, and this isn't the fastest it has moved. However, I am still stoked that the Bench Press is slowly yet surely building itself back up, after the set backs from a few months ago with being sick multiple times, and also losing a significant amount of weight. If I can get back to around 120 - 125 Kgs paused, at this current bodyweight range, I'll be very happy 🤘🏻. Song: "One" - Metallica Follow me also on Bitchute, Odysee, and YouTube!

This was my back-off work after my 180 Kgs Top Single. I should've used more weight, lol. Song: "The Only Thing They Fear Is You (From 'Doom: Eternal'") - FamilyJules
