Sunday 9/4/11
Hammies, abs, and back are sore from yesterday. Hopefully that’s a good thing.
Bench press
somexsomex135
5x170
5x195
5x220
These felt much better than last week, with the exception of the last set feeling a bit harder than it should’ve.
T-bar row
10x2p, 3p, 4p, 4p, 4p
CGBP
3x135, 155, 175, 195, 215, 235, 255
6x3x205
Bleh left elbow was a bit irritated, hence my pseudo miss with 255. Glad to hit 3x255 though. Tried a regular grip and it seemed to help the elbow. May just do reverse band pressing or floor pressing instead.
EDIT: the elbow pain may be caused by not keeping my elbows in line with my wrists. I’ll have to pay extra attention to this next session and see how it goes. I’ll also give a closer grip with the CGBPing.
10x4p tbar row? Something aint’ right there, obvi fake plates…
@phlegms: obvi fake plates. I’m not strong enough to use actual iron, just plastic.

Haha thanks. I’d like to think I have a bit more in me on the close grip benching. Oddly the rowing volume doesn’t seem like much to me lol.
Good stuff
Back can handle the volume 
Great CGBP, you really are a natural presser! How close to knurling is your grip? Seems from the video your normal bench must be super-wide but maybe its just the angle? Maybe I need to bench a little wider… lol
@mmatt: thank you sir
@jake_j_m: I’ve been hearing that I’m a natural presser haha. My grip is thumbs on smooth, I’m considering making it a bit closer though. I suppose it’s the camera angle.

Squat
somexsomex135
5x200
5x230
5x260
fml these felt much too heavy. But I reckon they got me ready for the rest of the session.
Squat (high bar)
3x135, 155, 175, 195, 215, 235, 255, 275, 295, 305
6x3x245 (first 2 sets felt like ass, but after that ez money)
Pretty happy to hit 3x305, goal going in was to hit 3x295.
Nice squats man, looked smooth.
Fuuuu I’m feeling decent about my squat and you hit 30lbs heavier. Nice squatting sir.
You are pretty much the 5/3/1 poster boy at this stage, Wendler should sponsor you or something!
@ink: why thank you 
They felt smooth, relatively speaking.
@sparkles: Well maybe if you would’ve told me you were squatting, I would’ve been more considerate. Geez, give a guy some warning.
@phlegms: lol. Not really, I’m running a rather, and have been running, a rather bastardized version. But a sponsorship would always be welcome haha.

Friday 9/9/11
MIlitary press
somexsomex95
5x115
5x135
5x155
These were a bit harder than usual, but not by much.
Push press
3x135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205
Hit my goal of 3x205. God I hate lowering the weight with push presses. Cut it short since my left elbow was a bit iffy. I would rather not push it and live to lift another day. Really squeezing the bar and tucking the elbows seems to help. Just gotta remember those cues.
Damn, nice work on the push press’s, I doubt if I could even get 3 with 175! Time to growwww
Gawd why won’t your press strength just DIE already!
@jake_j_m: haha thanks, eating your way to bigger pressing numbers is certainly a viable option lol.
@phlegms: I don’t want it to die 
besides with all the oly lifting stuff you’re doing you’ll surpass me in no time.

Deadlift
somexsomex135
3x225
3x260
3x295
3x335
Snatch grip DL
3x225, 235, 255, 275, 295 (straps from here on), 315, 335, 345
6x3x275
My hands were happy I used straps, but the rest of my body was rather hateful. Managed to work up to a triple that was 20lbs more than last session, so happy about that. Goal was to hit 3x335 and hit 3x345 so overall a pretty good session.
Your deadlift is coming along! Nice! It may just be the angle but it looks asif you are almost stiff-legging the weight up a little? I’m not expert but have you experimented with bring the hips down more? I sometimes like to “sit down” as far as possible whilst holding the bar then come up with the hips just a little until I’ve removed the tension from the bar and then a pull. Good lifting brotherr
@jake_j_m: thanks man, just trying to catch up to you I didn’t really notice that, but I’ll definitely be mindful of it next session and toy around with hip height. I appreciate it man.

Bench press

3x235
CGBP
3x135, 155, 185, 205, 225, 245, 265
6x3x215
Holy shitake mushrooms the set w/ 265 was ugly and awful. I feel the strength is definitely there, it was just really really slow. I will probably switch to floor pressing or reverse band pressing. On the brightside, I had no elbow pain today.
