Double Training Log for A&E (Oly & Strength)

Saturday: Upper Body Rep

Db bench: 22, 9, 7 @ 75lbs
Standing Rope Ext: 4 x 8 @ 110 lb
Chin Ups: 4 x 9 @ bw
Seated BB Military Press: 115 x 8, 125 x 7, 135 x 4
Machine Curls: 4 x 8 @ starting at 90 and working way down

So the Db bench got stagnant, pissin’ me off. I’m gonna switch that one up next week. The tricep extensions are still progressing really nicely along with the chin ups. And wow started doing the military presses with more speed and they shot up.

HOWEVER, my strength isn’t going up as fast as I want it to. I think I look better nekkid now than I ever did, but that was really only a side goal. I’m not tired of eating relatively clean, I actually really like doing it. But I might not be getting enough calories…

This may mark the beginning of FGL eating everything in sight and adding breads and pastas and rice back in.

Saturday: Food

Meal #1: 4 eggs, sweet potato pizza (farmers market) and a lentil and turkey stew over white rice
Pre-workout: Pb on 15 grain bread
Post: 1 scoop Grow! 2 scoops Surge, 5 g creatine
Meal #3: 1 can tuna, 1/2 tomato, oil etc
Meal #4: Tapas! polenta, fried stuff, shrimp, pita, and chocolate cake (like 1/5 a slice, not so good)

Sunday: Food

Meal #1: Egg and sausage bagel, green tea
Meal #2: 2 scoops Grow! in water
Meal #3: Carnitas salad

You could still look better nakid at your strength levels.

Anyway, the Arnolds was a fiesta of awesome and bad living. Managed to sneak in 2 workouts.

Saturday - Worked out next to Carissa Gump! Clean and jerks up to 95 kg. Front squats x5 to 110 kg.

Also did 19 consecutive DEAD HANG pullups at the Marine Corps pullup challenge. A lot of guys doing 3/4 depth pull ups.

NICE! Way to rep on the pull ups. I want full coverage along with those Bas Rutten pictures later.

Thursday: Suck

So when I dropped that weight on my foot I actually did more damage than I thought. The arch of my left foot started aching later in the day, and now it hurts to walk on it and any plantar flexion puts a lot of painful stress on it. It’s getting better, but still annoying.

So no pressing exercises, just did leg curls and extensions for supersets until my legs burned real nice. Then I did some hyperextensions and left. Off day by all means.

Blech. Food to come later.
