Hello All, I’ve been lurking for a while and decided it was time to sign up and start positng my log for some extra accountability. Despite the ambitious screen name, I’m pretty amateur at this, but my lifts are going up fast!

Here’s today:

EliteMDE’s Training Log - 6-19-2012

Goal Complete!

20 Reps - Pivot Bar Row

Start:		115	6-10-2012
Goal:		135	7-10-2012
Completed:	135	6-19-2012

Bench Press w/ 1 Pair Chains - Dynamic Effort - Doubles instead of triples

6 sets	2 reps	155 Lbs

I think my ego is getting in the way of the speed days, they aren't really even remotely fast anymore and I re-read the old westside program this weekend and saw its actually supposed to be 55% of your 1rm. I'm using more like 70-75% :( so I'm going to need to drop the weight and start doing it right, its probably part of why I'm so worn down.

Pivot Bar Row

1 sets	10 reps	90 Lbs
1 sets	20 reps	135 Lbs
5 sets	5 reps	135 Lbs

These are really a fantastic exercise, I'm feeling so many random small muscles in my back getting sore that I've never been able to feel with other versions of rows. I'm looking forward to seeing the effect on my other lifts.

Core Blaster

1 sets	20 reps	55 Lbs
1 sets	50 reps	75 Lbs

changed the way I count reps, so this is actually like what I would have counted as 100.

Hang for Time

0 Lbs	20 Seconds
0 Lbs	30 Seconds
0 Lbs	10 Seconds

Just hanging from the pull up bar. Stretches out my back and relieves some back pain, while also working the grip a bit.

Just some quick pullups on my off day:

EliteMDE’s Training Log - 6-20-2012

Pull Up - Bodyweight only, from a dead hang

3 sets	6 reps	0 Lbs

getting pretty tough to add reps

EliteMDE’s Training Log - 6-21-2012

Box Squat - Dynamic Effort - deload week

10 sets	2 reps	135 Lbs

Deload week, in addition I've been using too much weight on DE days anyway, so I dropped the weight a lot today. Then I remembered that oh yeah, these are good days to work on technique.

Sumo Deadlift - dynamic effort singles

10 sets	1 reps	225 Lbs

Again with the ego, probably shouldn't have used this much weight, not heavy, just not quite fast...

EliteMDE’s Training Log - 6-22-2012

Partial Pull Up - halfway down - just past 90 degree elbow

1 sets	15 reps	0 Lbs
1 sets	10 reps	0 Lbs

Needing a deload week, so not pushing very hard on these

Incline Press - Max Effort - Lots of singles above 90%

1 sets	3 reps	135 Lbs
1 sets	1 reps	135 Lbs

Again, just a deload week, not pushing myself.
