Intensity Squat Day:
Squat: 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x3, 235x1, 255x4, x1
10lbs -1 rep PR. It seemed like my body forgot “how” to push for the fifth rep as my head is telling it to push. I think that’s what it meant to loss “tightness”, couldn’t apply any force for the last rep. Anywayz, took the weight off and put it back on again then did one more, had another in me I think.
Bench Press: 90x20x3
Easy.
Dumbbell Bench Press: 120x8, x7, x6
Thought I could do better, seems like i’m stalling at this weight.
Left arm Kroc Row: 65x3x12
Minimum rest. Trying to achieve symmetry between my right and left lats here.
Gonna attempt 260lbs next intensity day anywayz, i know it not to be a strength problem. Besides I was sick all week this week. [/quote]
OHYEAHHH nice squat buddy! and if you’re trying to achieve symmetry, still do Kroc rows with your right arm, just don’t do any more with that arm than your left arm.
I mentioned that my right wrist is fucked up for a week now after the last time I did curls right?
Volume Squat:
Squat: 135x5, 225x5
Fucking hard, tiring that is.
OHP: 70x5, 95x3, 120x0, 115x1
This was. Embarrasing. I guess it’s understandable since my wrist has been fucked up and this was attempted after the brutal squat session, though I still expect a better result than this.
Close Grip Bench Press: 115x12, 125x8, 125x10
Gotta do something to assist my bench press. Though this probably calls for mad recovering today and tomorrow.
Wrist now hurts even more after the ohp failures. Thnk there’s a bigger bruise now. Also, my OHP is probably not going anywhere and I kinda lost interest after hitting the 115x5 mark. Probably gonna replace it with Close Grip now.

as for pressing, I would lay off anything that hurts your wrist, and wrap it in the meantime, at the very least while you’re in the gym.
it’s a marathon, not a sprint.[/quote]
x2, wrap that sumbitch. And don’t push it into the bad pain; skipping pressing for a few days won’t be the end of the world.
Go crazy on sleep and food. It’ll heal much faster. HGH!
Make CGBP your max movement untill it stalls, stop doing normal ME bench, but keep OHPing and doing DE bench with your normal grip. Switch back to normal bench when your CGBP stops increasing.

True. I’m planning to do that after my flat bench stop increasing which is probably tomorrow. I just came off a cgbp cycle. [/quote]
Hurting wrist though better than yesterday, decide to not take any risk. Get a good rest and take advantage of the half day at school tomorrow to hit some PRs. So no gym today.

Wise choice, probably could’ve done some technique work with the bar though
Wrapped my wrist, felt good during the workout but once unwrapped, now hurts even worse :S
Recovery Squat Day:
Squat: 175x3x5
Easy as always.
Bench Press: 65x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x3, 145x1, 170x3, 145x10
More accurately, 2.7, missed lockout by like 2 inches, form sucked. Did 145 for 10 after, form was horrible. I looked like noobs who never touched a bar before. Elbows was flaring more than ever, wrists were bending in a grotesque way.
Deadlift: 225x3, 290x3
Wasn’t sure I can do this with my wrist, being a pulling motion and all. Did it though, -2 reps 5lbs PR, lower back weakeness.
Maxed out hyperextension with a 45 for like 12 reps before accidentally hitting my lips, biting into it with my teeth, fail. Not a bad session at all, though wrists could be better.
Is your wrist still hurting this far after training? Ouch man… Nice bench PR though, your bench is gunna pass mine nice deadlift aswell!
I may switch my deadlift to recovery or volume day, its hard to get the energy to DL after intensity. Thanks for the mention on my PR btw!
Yeah, still hurting. I got a pressing workout everytime it gets better. There’s no better way to go on a 10 day vacation than to hit those PRs like you did.

hmm… maybe lay off the pressing for a bit and just do alot of tricep and back work? idk what else to say man. and yeah haha, I’m glad I can relax after hitting those Pr’s haha
Watched the The Godfather trilogy, never gonna watch other films the same again, changed my life. Though the first one is far better than the Part II, and III. I think it’s cuz Part I contains more significant dramatic elements-hamartia, peripetia and anagorisis and all the others. Would have been a good shakespeare play.
Anywayz, great workout today, have been trying to heal my right wrist and it’s not getting much better
Intensity Squat Day:
Squat: 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x3, 245x1, 265x5
10lbs 1 Rep PR! At this rate, I will catch up to XArena in no time.
Dynamic Bench Press: 90x20x3
I’m pretty sure i did 20 sets. Went against my better judgement, didn’t hurt that much.
Weighted Pullups: 45lbs x4
Didn’t increase nor decrease. Meh.
Wanted to do something else at the end of workout like always but I better not. Aiming for 275x5 next week!
Wrist feels much better today. Pretty concise workout, but definitely not an easy one.
Volume Squat Day:
Squat: 135x5, 235x5x5
Easier than thought out to be. Went to do 2 sets of CG bench after the 4th set, then came back with an almost depleted nervous system.
Close Grip Bench Press: 95x6, 135x8, x9, x10
Maybe the next set i can get 11 reps. First 7 reps were always easy, surprised at how fast I did them. Wrist felt alright after the 2nd work set.
On to Thurseday, waiting to bench 175x3 and deadlift 290x5 or 295x3.
Tightly wrapped my wrist today, bench stalled though.
Recovery Squat Day:
Squat: 185x3x5
Soo easy. Last set, I dropped down every rep ATG then stay down for 2 seconds before squatting up.
Bench Press: 65x5, 85x5, 105x5, 135x3, 155x1, 175x1, 150x8
So couldn’t get two reps, second rep around 2 inches off chest. A good rep PR though, 5lbs -2reps. Starting close grip, floor press or something next week, depends on how my wrist is.
Deadlift: 225x3, 290x5
2reps PR, took 3 seconds break between each rep, last rep took 7 seconds. Video coming up, my lower back was rounding a bit.
Chest Supported T-Bar: Bar 90x10, x8, x7
Minimum rest.
Not totally bad today. Had burger king 2 hours before working out, and a footlong sub half an hour after work out so pretty unhealthy. Feeling like doing OHPs again but my wrist man.
