TRAINING LOG: Jesse Jobe

I figured I would start a training log on here, I just got done competing at the MacPherson games this past weekend and it was my first games.  I ended up getting 5th out of 8 guys in the B's, kind of dissapointed as I was in 2nd after 5 events but I had never done the sheaf or caber and well it showed.

I don't know when I will be doing another games, probably not tell next year.  Here are some of my current PRs.

Squat-510lbs off a parallel box

Deadlift-570lbs

Bench press-350 I think last time I checked

Overhead-280lbs

For the most part I compete in strongman, some powerlifting, and now a little highland games, hopefully more next year. I will post up my DL and upperback workout tommorrow.

Thanks Craig.

Great night today.  I pulled an alltime PR on the deadlift.  I was quite sore going into this workout from the games on sunday, but I told myself time to buck up, the training to be your best started yesterday.

Deadlift

135 x 5 x 2

225 x 5

315 x 3

405 x 1

475 x 1

550 x 2 hook gripped and just a belt alltime PR!!!

Funny thing I have 570 in a meet, but my best pull in the gym for a single is 525, so this a awesome PR.

DB rows

3 x 8

Blast strap rows

3 x 10

abs

3 x 30

Dude, I feel like a scrawn.

You can, and you will.

Travis = FOS

Learn to get some more hustle behind that muscle JJ and you'll improve in feet, not inches.

His log is a travesty.  The only impressive thing is that it has gone on for as long as it has.

How close are your feet in close stance squats?  Shoulder width as opposed to wide PL style?

Word.  I have never tried really getting the legs out there...never really had a reason.

Going to try some banded stuff here in the near future.  Advice?

I have never geared up for a lift.  Maybe a belt and chalk, at most.  I'll give it a shot here in the next few days.

I think it is more the wide stance, but it seems that squatting with bands in general just beats me up.  The chains don't do that to me.  In a couple weeks we are gonna work up to a single with bands and about 150lbs of chain, it is gonna be wicked stupid!!!

Overall a good workout today, but it left a dissapointing taste in my mouth.  All week I was for sure I was gonna have a big night tonight.  It just wasnt' to be, I still pulled an all-time raw PR, but I wasn't happy with it.

DL from the floor just a belt, all heavy sets hook gripped.

315 x 3

405 x 3

495 x 1

525 x 1

565 x 1 Alltime RAW pr. 

585 x nothing, I was shot, I probably should have tried this instead of the 565.  I know that I am only good for 1 heavy pull in the gym.  Oh well like I said I still got a PR, just wasn't what I wanted.

Frame carry

570 x 60 feet, PR never done this without dropping it before.

DB rows

3 x 8

Blast strap rows

3 x 20

Abs

5 x 20

Jesse

Thanks Duncan.  I don't know if I wanna go for more next week or not.  I think it is time to start things over for 5 weeks, I plan on doing a powerlifting meet on Nov. 20th.  So I should really start getting ready for it.

 

Jesse

Frame Carry

600lbs x 60 alltime PR on frame.  Not very fast though, but I am doing the frame in a contest anytime soon. But since all the guys are training for nationals I figured might as well go ahead and do it.

Bent over rows

245 x 8 was gonna do 3 sets but Chuck wanted to do some stones.

310 stone x 3 and 2

Doing stones was not a very good idea, my biceps are screaming right now.  Oh well, live and learn.

Blast strap rows

That was it, workout took alot longer than I wanted it to. 

 

Jesse

I felt terrible today, I just did my prescribed reps and called it a day.

Somedays you just gotta do what you can, and today was one of those days. My body sounded like an orchestra from all the popping and cracking noises it was making.
