Burritos and Barbells- 3M Training Log

[Perrin Aybara]

Do you eat much Italian food? I eat more Italian and Mexican food than anything. If you do we might be onto something.

Burritos + Pasta = All Kindz of Strength Gainz

Anyway, don't let that bad session pull you into a slump. Get a good one in and get back on track.

You know you're gonna have some bad days, so don't get frustrated. I'm sure the session with your pals will motivate you and get you back on track.

I killed it today Al, so it doesnt seem to have taken much of a toll on me lol.

Lmao, be honest I eat more italian food than anything. And I have been on a big Moe;s burrito kick lately too, cant seem to get enough of that place.

So i have to say I think theres some truth to that equation PA .

Awesome!

Grats on the 3-rep PR, man. Taking 90% of your 1RM for a triple is pretty badass. Especially for us 3xBW squatters.

Deadlift

Warmed up with the usual, iron crosses, mountain climbers, hip circle then did some single leg, leg extensions. Hip issue is flaring up again, and I realized its my TFL, its super tight and just causing me a shit ton of pain in my IT band and hip so I have been doing some stretches for that and using the lax ball to help loosen it up a bit.

Also benched the other day and I was pretty disappointed at how it went, Did 300 for 5x5 TnG, my left shoulder and pec have been feeling a bit tight. I think it has something to do with my rotator cuff, so I have been doing some rehab stuff for that which I think has already started to make a difference. On IG i follow this page called the prehab guys and they have alot of videos of rehab exercises and whatnot. I found a really good dynamic warmup for my shoulder on there that I have been doing every training session, so hopefully my bench starts to catch back up. I feel like I havent been the same since I hit 325x3 paused about a month or 2 ago, it fcking sucks but I am not letting myself get discouraged.

Just a fyi, I thought I had a rotator issue in my shoulder that sidelined my bench. But it now appears that it was some bicep tendonitis near the delt and after several days of rolling it, the shoulder and arm is feeling a lot better. Just wanted to let you know just in case it can save you from missing some bench training.

Nice pulls!

Thanks Chris, although I dont think thats the issue. My pec, rear and side delt, and trap, and lats are all really tender when using the Lax ball but no pain in my bicep/brachioradialis. I need to go get a deep tissue massage lol

Squats felt good, I kept it pretty light and undershot my rpe I think it was probably an rpe 7 on the last set. My hip is finally starting to feel better, my gf showed me a good TFL stretch that I've been doing almost every day along with alot of foam rolling. I had a huge knot at my tfl, almost a lax ball sized knot and thats not even an exaggeration. The stretching and foam rolling has been loosening it up, so my squats will hopefully start to feel more natural. I was watching a video the other day and I noticed that I have been putting alot of my weight on my right leg when squatting to compensate for the my left leg/hip being fucked up. So Im really hoping that If I can get my left side healthy my squat will skyrocket since Ill be able to squat exerting equal force on both legs.

Block pulls fell awesome today, I used the Rogue Ohio DL bar which is a little stiffer than the texas dl bar. But the weight moved pretty fast, unfortunately my phone was dying so I wasnt able to get them on video. I'm pretty stoked as far as my deadlift progress goes, I'm pretty damn confident that I will pull 600+ come october.

30 seconds rest between sets? ...screw that, haha...strong training as usual, def can't wait to see you hit that 6+...
