Gallowmere's Obsession, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Deadlift

[Gallowmere]

Bloods scheduled for this Friday, end of week six. Time to find out how my system is handling this gram-o-gear. Performance is definitely up, and I certainly feel better after halving the Dianabol and adding Masteron .

Thank you sir. Probably finally going to test myself in a meet this summer when I’m running my test/tren /mast/adrol cycle.

I haven’t the slightest clue where my top end really is right now.

[Gallowmere]

Deadlift: 1x135/225/5x255/3x305/1x365/10+x385-13 completed (+15 TM)
Wide Stance Box Squats: 5x3x275
8 rep Myo Reverse Hyper: 32/3x8
5 rep Myo Upright Row: 65x24/4x5

Not quite what I wanted, but close enough for the time being. Ready for the 1RM check/deload week coming up.

just trying to decipher this lingo....
10+x385-13 completed is an amrap at 385 where you got 13?
+15 TM means what?

are they dead stop reps or touch and go?

T&G, but with a controlled descent so no bounce. Did that shit once years ago and shook my neck so bad I thought I’d popped something.

Yeah, 13 completed is what I got as an amrap. Though I stop at technical failure. Not pulling fatigued grinders on lighter weights.

The +15 TM is training max increase based on the reps. On this week, every rep over 10 adds 2.5 to upper body and 5 to lower.

Getting there. This coming week will cut my volume but test my actual strength. It’ll let me shed some fatigue before heading into my next volume block.

[Gallowmere]

Bench Press: 1x45/135/185/225/275/295/305/315/325 (miss)/320 (miss)-315 max

Probably could have smoked 320 with how fast 315 moved, but noooo. Had to try for the 10 lbs. jump first, just to spite my gorilla arms.

Ah well, still 40 lbs. heavier than the last time I tested.

Back Squat:
1x135/225/315/365/405/435/455/465/475/485 (miss)-475 max

Couldn’t even walkout 485, so I’m calling it there for now. Still a pretty decent improvement over my old 435.

So far. I’m definitely not expecting that out of strict press or deadlift, but we shall see. If I somehow manage to pull 550, I’ll be beyond stoked.

Thats a pretty good lift do you use straps or just go raw?

Raw. I’ve been using mixed grip forever, but I’m trying to break my tiny ass rat claw thumbs into getting used to hook grip.

Thanks. I’m still nowhere near being competitive even for the 198 class, which I could hit with an easy water cut. I’m slowly getting there though.

[Gallowmere]

Standing Strict Press: 1x45/95/135/165/185/195/205/215 (miss)-205 max

Left arm is being a bitch. Can’t tell if it’s brachialis or in the tricep. Either way, I’m definitely good for more once I get this to stop being stupid.

[Gallowmere]

Deadlift: 1x135/225/315/405/455/495/515/545/565 (miss)-545 max

If today was a lesson in anything, it was “fuck self doubt”. I’d have been happy with just 525, but the shitty plates here forces me to make a 30 lbs jump instead of 10. Worked out for the better.

[Cuz]

Badass dude your not far away from competition man. In my state deadlift at 198 around 630 i could drop to 198 fairly easily myself but im nowhere near 630 at least yet. This time next year just think where you will be

Especially once I’m running some stuff more conducive to a better strength to weight ratio. Test/deca /mast/dbol is working for what I want right now, but it’s not the same driver that test/tren /mast/anadrol is.

Not as bad as I was expecting, but the left brach is still being faggoty. Feels like it’s actually reference pain from the lat though. Gonna find out when I get home.

Have you repped out 405 on deadlift? Curious as too how many you can do since your max is 545?

It’s been months since I bothered in that range. Last time was 400 for 11. No clue now. I’ll find out the next time it comes up in my programming. This weeks’s deadlift work sets are only 345.

[Gallowmere]

Deadlift: 1x135/225/315/7x5x345/12x345

Changing grip unfucked the brachialis, but has resulted in slightly weaker leverages for the moment. Performance should pick back up as my body gets used to this pattern.

Gallowmere nice to see your have some color with your name. Great job with all of your work and help on the site. Keep it up.

I use Tapatalk, so I didn’t even notice this until seeing a couple of inboxes and this post.

Greatly appreciated either way.

Definitely feeling better now. The eye/hand twitching and shaking are gone and performance is coming back. I definitely overloaded the shit out of my nervous system with that 1RM week. Bouncing back fast though without “zomg, overtrained, must take all the rest” faggotry that pervades the casual lifting world these days.

Of all the lifts that could keep making leaps and bounds, why this one? Blah.

Still haven’t bothered with 405 since my programming jumped it, but hey, close enough with 420 for 10.
