Work for today:
Beyond 1.1 Week 4 day 3

Beltless Squat; 5x5x220
Chins: 5, 5, 4, 4, 3

Lat Pulldown: 5x10x115
Paused Bench: barx10, 135x5, 170x5, 195x3, 220x1+(4)

Finished with some tricep pushdowns.

Notes:
Beltless squats are feeling better and better, I actually think they are doing a lot to help my squat form overall.

Paused bench is amazingly humbling, cuts my reps down a ton. Hopefully a good way to keep myself honest and develop some good raw strength.

Work For Yesterday:

Beyond 1.2 Week 2 Day 1

Beltless Deadlift: 7x3x310lbs

*note, these were hard. I ripped off a callous doing farmers the other day, made it hard to grip the bar. Normally try to do the volume work double overhand, hand to use mixed grip to make it this time.

Overhead Press: 45x10, 90x5, 120x3, 134x3, 155x3, 170xPR(1)

Note: this was shit. I am down 16lbs in the last 5 weeks, and I think I am starting to stall pretty hard on my upper body lifts. Hit 185 for a max just a few weeks ago. Granted, that was a grinder, and I nearly hit a double at 170 but… still frustrated I did not hit more.

Barbell Curl: 45x10, 65x10, 75x10, 85x6, 55x10
Face Pull: 5x20x70
Some Lat Raises

30 minutes killing myself on the elliptical.

91

T-Nation hasnt been loading on my computer lately, this is the first time it went through. Odd. Not going to catch up on everything, but did my overhead Press Day today, hit 170 for 1 again. Pretty mad, My upper body is feeling really weak the last few weeks.

Been awful about recording everything the past couple weeks. Also, I realized I have not been doing a great job about recording my running. Been running about 5x a week for the past 7 weeks, prepping for the Navy PRT. Well, PRT was this morning.

Navy PRT:

Max Crunches in 2 min: 101 (max)
Max Pushups in 2 min: 101 (max)
1.5 mile run: 10:21.

I nearly died on this run. Running has never been my strong suit, and I am walking around at a fairly heavy bodyweight for me. This was awful, but good enough to give me a good score on my fitness test.

Also, according to the Navy, I am
5’10
222.4 lbs
15.5% bodyfat

Very, very, very happy to be done with the PRT. My knee’s hurt like ever loving hell, lungs are tired. I am going to ease off on the running, and get into the weights hard again.

Also, engagement photos are Dec 28, so I am going to be running a more bodybuilding style training until then. Need to look good for my girl

Incline Bench: 165x5, 175x5, 185x5, 185x5, 195x4
Machine Press: 100x10, 130x10, 145x10, 160x9

Calf Press Machine: 170x10, 180x10, 190x10, 200x10

Notes:

  • Measured my rest periods for the first time ever. Did not go as expected. I thought it would be forcing me to move faster between sets, but for most of the workout it actually had the opposite effect. I really don’t like just standing around in the gym, so it looks like I have been rushing time between sets more than I thought. Whoops.
    ** First time in a long time I have had a legitimate Pec pump, feels great
    ***This workout just feels…different. Reps were controlled, focusing on feeling my chest working instead of throwing the weight around.
