So tuesday I climbed for what was pretty undeniably the most worthless day of climbing I've had in a millennium. I actually nodded off whilst sitting on a mat waiting for a turn. Had been looking f forward to hitting it all day, and got off work so late I had no gas left.i stayed there a while, but it was bad.
Yesterday I did back and abs. Switched my heavy workout to p'lups from deads. Did it based on 100# for my percents. So it was 5 x bw + 75, 80, & 85. This was friggin' hard. I think I got maybe 3 with 85. By contrast, if I'd have calculated it on 300 the weights would have been 225, 240, & 270. Now,i got 5 with 275 (bw + 75) just fine so i definitely think percents on 300 would be too light. I think it'd work out just right if I calculated out the weight of my forearms from body weight (cuz I'm not actually lifting'em). In other words I'd basically drop all my weights by about 10#. Or I could just get strong enough to lift 285 five times.
Also did straight leg deads again. Very specialized workout, that. I've lost some muscle for those. Started back on straight leg raises. Wanted 3 x 30, and got 2 x 30 and 1 x 10 before I started crying and trying to comfort-clutch my spleen. Finished out with bent o'er bb rows. Went heavy with these since I didn't do heavy deads. 1x135, then 2x185.
Not a bad workout. Now I'll hafta find some iron in the four-corners area.

Well, let's see here...If I took a max squat of 500lbs plus a body weight of 215lbs minus 15lbs for my calves and feet, that would give me 700lbs to base my calculations off of. 85% of 700 is 595 - BW = 395lbs. 85% of 500lbs is 425. Base your calcs off of what you strap on. The math is easier and you get to get stronger!
But it does sound like a good reason for you to drop a stone or two.
no doubt.
