Could’ve gone for more than 305, but I’d rather get more quality reps in over the next few weeks, than miss an attempt or two down the road. Anyways in doing so I leave more room to progress.

No need to kill yourself now, save that shit for the platform 
Strong work being done man, carry on.
Eternally jelly of dat Bench press…
Hows the weight gain been as of late?
@ink: lol I guess I sorta fit the stereotype.
@phlegms: I’m eternally jelly of your oly lifting prowess. Weight gain has been steady, last night I weighed in at 231 lol. But usually in the low 220s when I wake up. Lately I probably having been eating as much b/c my rice cooker decided to just die out of nowhere.
Week 1, Day 5
Wednesday 9/28/11
Was so tired during my 1pm class. Decided to take a nice nap and lift in the garage instead of lifting on campus.
Bench press
3x6x235
Front squat
3x6x235
BB rows
somexsomex135
5x145
5x170
15x190
10x170
10x145
Instead of doing more rowzzz I did a bunch of wrist curls. Forearms were not happy, especially my right forearm. The wrist curls seemed to help.
“Don’t touch it! Don’t!” haha, gets me every time.
Why you so sessi? Sir Sessi.

OH…MAH GAHD!!! ashylarryku has commented in my log!!! I like to live my days by 4 letters, WWAD (what would ashylarryku do?)
The better question is, why are you such a supa star?
Ashy is a celeb. Saw him in the Boot camp vid. MARRY ME!
Aqua + Ashy would be a gay match made in high frequency heaven!
good lifting big sexy. Maybe I could join you for one of these sessions before I move to Boston?

I’d be down for a lifting session.
Week 2, Day 1
Friday 9/30/11
Band pushdowns and hammer curls.
Bench press
3x6x235
Brought grip in a bit, seemed to help with pain.
Front squat
3x6x235
Took longer to get into these, hips felt tight.
Military press
3x6x165
Good stuff. These really don’t irritate my forearms/elbows. Worse come to worse I’ll just do A LOT of OHP instead of benching.
Deadlift
3x6x325
Floor press
3x135, 155, 185, 205, 225, 245, 265, 280 PR
No dice with the cluster sets. 1st tried 280 then 265. Forearms would not have it.
The set w/ 265 the 3rd rep drifted toward my head, luckily I was able to fix it. Made sure to keep it in front of me on the set w/ 280, seemed to help. At least I hit a PR today.
Yeah buddy! Nice military pressing! I’ve just struggled to get 7 reps with 150lb an your easily doing 165! Slow down so I can catch you haha
Just wanted to drop in to tell you you’re now my favorite filipino person. To be fair… I hate filipinos. 
New high frequency thing looks awesome, I’m trying to keep up with progress in this here log but your smashing through too quick, slow down so I can read easier yeah?
Or don’t, and keep hitting it hard, up to you really 
The forearms are a bit of a worry, what’s going on? You seen anyone about them yet?
@Getting Closer: Thanks man 
I can’t make any promises about slowing down lol.
@staive: aww shucks <3
@MAsteve: lol I’m just trying to get better everyday. I wish I knew what was going on with my forearms. I haven’t anyone about it. But in the meantime I’ll avoid anything that bothers it. At the moment that means benching, at least I can still OHP. I may as well use this as an opportunity to try and focus on other things, like my squat, DL, and OHP.
Week 2, Day 2
Saturday 10/1/11
Band pushdowns and hammer curls.
Bench press
Did a few light sets. I probably won’t be doing much benching until the forearms feel better. It’s better to rest than to be stubborn and make things worse.
Front squat
3x6x235
Military press
3x6x165
Meh, didn’t feel as good as yesterday. At least I can OHP with minimal pain.
Deadlift
3x6x325
Reverse band DL
3x225, 275, 315, 335, 365, 405, 445
2x465
Would’ve stopped at 445 b/c of grip. But lost track of time so cut the session short and went for 465. Gahd I wanted to continue.
Nice lifting man! Sorry to hear about the wrist pain, have you tried anything like wrist or elbow wraps to see if it alleviates the pain? It sounds like it could be a bit of tendinitis.
@phelgms: Thanks man. I haven’t tried any of those. It may well be tendinitis. I’m just going to give it some time to rest by limiting my pressing and avoiding what hurts.
Week 2, Day 3
Sunday 10/2/11
Front squat
3x6x235
Military press
3x6x165
Today’s OHPing irritated my forearm a bit. I’m going to have to smart about it. Worst comes to worse I’ll just do a bunch of isolation stuff for the pressing muscles if I can’t do BB presses.
Deadlift
3x6x325
Push press
3x135, 145, 155, 165, 185, 200, 210
1x3x210 (cluster reps)
Didn’t want to be hard headed, so cut it short and did a butt load of front and lateral raises.
Was planning on squatting, but while starting began to feel rather unwell. Woke up a little on the sick side today and was feeling good up until squat time. fml. Time to rest so I can lift.
Shoulder pressing looking amazing as ever. I’m seriously lacking in the pressing department, especially overhead.
Where are you getting this high frequency strength stuff? Seems interesting.
Hope you start feeling better soon man. I’m ill atm too an know how annoying it is when you wanna be hitting the weights with all you got.
dem trapz…
Hope your forearm heals up quick, you don’t want me to catch your bench (LOL-like that’ll happen…)
So I decided to take this week as a deload so I could recover from the cold/flu/whatever I had and to let my forearms/elbows rest. I’m looking forward to getting back to training on Sunday with something a bit different. Probably going to run a mock meet come a few days after my bday.
@jake_j_m: I wouldn’t call it amazing, far from it haha. But I appreciate the sentiment
@mmatt: Basically copying what ashylarryku has been doing lol.
@Getting Closer: Thanks man, I am feeling better. I can’t wait to get back to lifting.
@ink: wut trapz? I’m hoping this week or so of rest will do the trick. Feels so weird not being able to bench. LOL, iunno all this sheiko-ing you’ve been doing has been working wonders for you man.
