The GrillMan is a mythical creature akin to the Yeti or Big Foot (roughly the same proportion) He suddenly reappeared on the radar screen a few days back. He is rested and ready for another Iron Assault and I thought our back and forth musings might be of interest to the readers profanity has been deleted along with several incriminating episodes involving mutual friends
HERE’S A NOTE FOR YOU ON MY TRAINING, ALL THESE WORKOUTS ARE DONE AFTER WORKING 12 HR. SHIFTS FOR THE MOST PART. I CRACK OPEN A 24-OZ MOUNTAIN DEW AND GO GET IT. TIME IS NOT ON MY SIDE SO I GOT TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT. PERHAPS MONDAY-SQUAT, WEDNESDAY-BENCH AND ARMS, AND FRIDAY-PULLS. BUT FOR NOW IT’S TUESDAY AND FRIDAY, SQUAT AND DEAD ON BOTH DAYS, I KNOW THAT’S WACKED BUT I’M ON A ROLL AND REALLY HAVEN’T CROSSED INTO BIG WEIGHTS YET TO DRAIN MY CNS (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM) I BELIEVE I’M GOING TO KEEP ON WITH 8′S IN THE PULL TILL I PETER THEN DROP TO 5′S - I’M SHOOTING FOR 600 PLUS FOR 8′S - KISS THE FLOOR AND PULL! THOSE BITCHES ARE SOME SOLID WORK!!! STRAPS DEFINITELY ARE HELPFUL AS THEY ALLOW YOU FOCUS ONLY ON THE PULL. 20 LB JUMPS ALSO, YEAH I KNOW THAT’S A BIG BITE BUT I FIGURE I’M REGAINING LOST GROUND. IT’S A CHALLENGE TO ME SO NOW MY TRAINING HAS FLAVOR AS OPPOSED TO TASTELESS FLESH (NOT FLANKSTEAK!!) A LITTLE SEASONING TO GET THE BRAIN OUT OF A SLUMP AND MOTIVATED TO MOVE SOME WEIGHT. ONCE I CLEAR 700 FOR REPS AND THE AFTERBURNER KICKS IN, IT SHOULD BE SOME FUN! FOUR MORE WORKOUTS TILL 605X8. I’LL KEEP YOU POSTED. I’LL GET YOU A COPY OF THE EATS ALSO, YOU MAY BE SURPRISED, I GOT A POLAR! THANKS FOR THE EAR YESTERDAY. TALK TO YOU SOON. I’D REALLY ENJOY FLYING YOU DOWN HERE DURING YOUR COLD MONTHS TO TRAIN AND ALLOW ME TO TAP INTO YOUR BRAIN.
LATER POPS,
GRILLMAN
Better buy some new clothes GRILL - after a full cycle of ‘kiss and go/soundless’ deadlifts (the perfect deadlift set is when the plates touch the platform so lightly, precisely and evenly that there is no noise) with straps (and because after all these years I have a steel brain) I can turn a 5-rep set into an 8-rep set, a triple into a 5 and a single into a tripleall these growth producing reps would have been missed without straps - straps are the ‘forced reps’ of deadlifting and allow a master puller to overload the back in a way not otherwise possible. Grill with a Polar heart-rate monitor? As Steely Dan once quipped, Libationssensationsthat stagger the mind. Does the HR go below 100? If so lets get scientific: pick a lazy day when youre not training, mostly chilling, and wear it for 24-straight hours lets see (generally) how many calories you burning in this semi-hibernation state. Then I would wear it on a work day and pin down the caloric expenditure associated with a busy day. Since you weigh 340 with 13% body fat, I would guess that the Polar will tell us your body requires 4-5,000 calories on a slow day and 6-7,000 (or more) on a work day. Wear it when you train and lets pin down the caloric cost associated with training. Assuming that the Polar tells us you burn 1,000 calories during training (just a guess based on your size and the fact that you train for 60-75 minutes) you could structure food intake to match up with the days activity: quiet day? crank back on the eating; normal workday? up the calories by the determined differential; training day? Eat an extra 1,000 and be sure and do it while the window of post-workout opportunity is still open. Thisll be one big freaking science experiment.how about you weighing 350 with 9% body fat and posting an 800-plus drug free deadlift? I need pictures!
