Mil press training-8's wave-Intensification-22 Jan 11

Mil press- 90/3, 100/13, 105/888

Laterals-30/12, 40/10, 45/9,8

Neutral Grip pulldowns-120/12, 12, 170/12

Machine Rows- 160/12, 220/12, 12

Pressdowns-80/15, 100/15, 130/10

Curls-some.

I did a bit more arm training than I normally do and it felt pretty good to say the least. Arms are still a showcase of strength and power. Plus the girls like them so I did them.

I still havent really wrote my training manifesto. Basically what I want from my training. There are several things though

1:Be Healthy!

2:Be STRONG!!

3:Get Bigger (It's going slow, but it will come!)

4: Get explosive and fast. Looking forward to some outdoor sprints.


There is more and my goals in the weightroom are always tied to life. I learn a lot in the gym from myself and people, thats why I love it so much.


Videos are coming this week for the realization phase. I get to take 350 for a ride on the squat tomorrow!

8's wave, Bench, Intensification-19 Jan

Bench: 135/5, 185/3, 200/3, 225/3, 240/8,8,8

Dead stop one arm rows: 100/12, 110/12

And that was it as I had to get to class. I'm going to have to hit the gym around 2 pm instead of 3pm as my class starts at 5:30 pm and i have to allow time for commuting. It's not a long commute, but just a bit time consuming with walking to the tran, waiting on the train etc. I could take a bus that would drop me off across the street from the school, but it's much more hassle than what it's worth.

Tomorrow is deadlifting and I have to pull 350 for three sets of eight. That should be super fun. But I don't work tomorrow, so I'll be fine.

Off to study....

January 17th training: First day of the intensification week of the 8's wave

Squats:275/1, 300/1, 320/8,8,8 (There was more warming up involved, but it was just warmups)
Leg Curls:70/12, 90/8,8
Abs: Hanging leg raise.


All of the sessions were strong with the exceptions of last Mondays training. I ate once, had a cold and generally felt like a bag of crap. But I pushed through and got the main work done. I havent done any type of real rep work since I started powerlifting so I get worn out in the accumulation phase with squats.

I'm going to add in more strongman training. No real particular reason as to why, just that I want to do more with it again. I havent handled log presses in awhile or farmers walks. May as well use the equipment thats there for fun.







BEAST!!
