Coan/Phillipi Deadift Routine Week 1
Deadlift (75%): 1x2 @ 415 lbs (supposed to be 410 but whats 5lbs) Felt FAST FAST FAST
Speed deadlift (60%): 8x3 @ 325 lbs (90 sec rest b/w sets) did first 4 sets
3 circuits (rest 90sec between exercises, 2-3 minutes between circuits):
Stiff-leg deadlift: 8 reps 315 did 9 on accident first set
Bent over row: 8 reps 225
Chin ups 8 reps screwed up on the first set and did 7 reps
Damn this felt good, 10 less pounds then deadlifts on Saturday and felt WAY easier/faster.
speed deadlfts felt real fast, did the first 4 sets left hand under last 4 right hand under.
I have been trying to edit a video together for over an hour now and every time it crashes my laptop. POS! I'll try to do it on another computer. Really annoying me.
The circuit didn't get hard till the 3rd set. I remember this circuit killing me with way less weight. I was also heavier. Damn being better conditioned and stronger is sweet. I think this is going to work really really well. I will get a 600lb deadlift this year.

Powerlifting Meet
I screwed my first squat attempt up real bad, (403lbs) tweaked something in my groin. I didn't set up right, rushed it, to far forward bla bla
Went for my second attempt. It was a grinder but stood up with it. Got two reds for depth. Oh well. missed the 3rd........ By now you cant get a total and I think your not able to lift after bombing out so I thought my day was over. They asked me if I still wanted to bench and dead of course said yes so big thanks for that!
Lowered my bench to a really small 187 just cause I wanted to big real real safe. felt like I could do it for 10 (cause I can?) went to 220. EASY went 242.5 again EASY had more in me haha who knew bench would go the best for me? My best ever gym bench is 245 and 242 with a pause was cake.
Opened at 455 on the deadlift, which didn't feel great. went 501.5 on the second attempt and I made it real hard, haha again on my toes. said fuck it and go for 545.5 same bad setup on my toes might as well had been 800. haha

I have watched this deadlift video dozens of times and other then having the bar out in front of me I tried to drop my hips to low. I don't deadlift like that, you can see when I regroup I start with my hips a lot higher. It is just what works for me.
Well turns out I felt off for a reason. I had been feeling a little fatigued and have been wanting to do nothing but sleep the couple days leading up to the meet. the night before I had a small red bump on my stomach right under my chest that looked like a spider bite. Well I wake up Monday morning and it spread, had no idea what it was. Turns out I got shingles...... Never gotten them before I guess it happens due to stress and weakened immune system. Stuff has been pretty stressful lately but I have been WAY more stressed out then this in the past.
I now feel like complete crap, just no energy, tired, lack of appetite. I think I have to take at least a week off from lifting which really sucks after taking a week off to be rested for the meet.
taking mega lysine, etc right now. I guess I'll get some meds from the DR tomorrow to recover faster.

5 Realistic Ways to Increase Testosterone
5 Realistic Ways to Increase Testosterone
I am sick and tired of reading articles with titles just like this one. They always say to do squats and deadlifts. If you’re not squatting and deadlifting your testosterone count is the last thing you need to be worried about.
Or tell you to eat some rare berry or herb that only grows in some small village in the mountains of NeverHeardOfVille where the locals work all day despite barley eating anything. Those Natives probably also shit in a hole, eat people and perform clitoral circumcision rituals. Maybe one of those is the key. Try it or do all of them, I am sure www.HardcoreMusclXtremeInferiorityComplex.com will sell you the Native Stack. Maybe their only other option, DEATH is why they can work so hard.
There will be a small link to some obscure study at the end of the article. You know why people do studies like this? To get grant money and to have boring stories to tell stuck up women at art galleries. Yeah that screams testosterone, ever shaking the hand of a researcher? It feels like someone slapped your hand with a heron. If someone shakes your hand and their handshake makes you queasy they know nothing about Testosterone.
How to Really Increase Testosterone. No studies, and no bullshit just common sense.
1. 1. Stop Doing G.P.P
General Physical Preparedness. Do you know how stupid that sounds? Who thought of a fancy word for work? You seriously have no projects that need to be done around the house? You’re going to beat on a tire with a sledgehammer for 60 second intervals when you could chop wood? I’m so sorry if this doesn’t let you perfectly do Tabata intervals. Dr Tabata was from Japan, and that place is a different world. Their rules don’t apply here. I always thought this and they just found bones proving it. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/12/23/3100174.htm?section=justin
If you don’t have any wood to chop go help your neighbor or your grandma. Maybe people will like you and bring you cookies. Oh those increase Testosterone too. Get a wheelbarrow and move some damn rocks or dig some dirt and don’t wear gloves; you don’t wear gloves in the gym right? Wait do you wear gloves in the gym? If so stop reading and reevaluate your life. It is necessary.
22. Pee Outside
This is important, don’t laugh! It feels right. Seriously peeing in a ceramic bowl seems more normal to you? Compared to dirt? Peeing off a deck at night in the cold makes you feel alive. You get a cool breeze on your balls and steam off your stream. This is the essence of being a man and thus increases Testosterone.
33. No Treadmills
You know who runs in place? People stuck in a box, Hamsters and Felons. That eats at your soul. Go out in Nature and run some trails or some damn hill sprints. Run where you have a chance of a Mountain Lion attack and if it attacks you kill it drag it home skin it and run the trails with its pelt on in the rain. Testosterone boost x1000!
44. Eat with your hands
Why do you get that feeling eating all you can eat Buffalo Wings? No not the feeling a few hours later. The feeling just eating it with your hands you feel like a damn animal. Like you just stalked and killed the uhhhhh Buffalo. Eat a whole damn chicken with just your hands after a heavy Squat day and you will instantly be recovered. What you need a knife for your steak? Sounds like your grip sucks!
55. The Only Thing Proven Way……
Is a vial and a needle. So reading crap like this for any more then comedic reasons is pointless.
