Sunday late afternoon:
CG bench 3/2/1, starting at 165. Missed the second to last set.
Sunday early night:
Reverse grip bench - heavy, low reps, many sets, very short rest. I just went crazy on this, very fun.
French press - many sets with 75. I’ll keep this.
Skullcrushers - lots of sets, highest was 85.
Also my vertical is 27 inches now (plus 2)
Monday morning:
Snatches and broad jumps. My hamstrings and all that feel really powerful. DL should be fun
Monday afternoon:
Motherfucker, it’s hot.
deadlift - 340 (plus 10) for the most awesome rep of my training career. Put on my magic song, and ground it all the way up. My low back didn’t budge, and I fully intend to deadlift heavy again next week, Brett Contreras.
Tried it again and couldn’t break the floor.
305 (plus 10) for 3 singles on the minute.
Fun as that was, I should have gotten way more singles. Heat generally does cut my performance, I’ll get in lots of good work tonight.
I’m not training hard or long enough. The purpose of multiple sessions was not to split everything up into little mini sessions. I’m not kicking enough ass in each session.
Doesn’t it make more sense to do a bunch of mini sessions? It makes it easier to recover… That’s why the Bulgarians split there workouts… Cause of all the volume and to recover in between… ithink LOL.

I think he means it’s TOO easy that way and may not be feeling the cumulative breakdown he’d get from more grueling sessions.

LOL, yes thats what I meant. I don’t want a bunch of mini sessions, I want a bunch of major sessions.
Monday evening:
There’s a storm coming in and it’s much cooler out.
Deadlift - singles with 305 (which is 90% of the day’s heavy single/singles) on the minute. I did at least 20. Awesome.
Unfortunately I have to be somewhere now. I’ll be back later.
The drastic difference in performance between this afternoon and now is very reassuring that it was just the heat screwing with me, not a failure of last weeks work.

wooo who says white men can’t jump
^ haha, I actually think 27 is kinda bad. I can only go up (hehehe)
Monday night:
front squat 3/2/1 - start 170, end 250 (plus 5) Rounded around L5-T1 on the last rep but still got it up.
I went light on good mornings for that reason. Top set was 225 (minus 10)
Ah now yesterday was a good day. My hamstrings and erectors (nothing ever challenges my glutes in the slightest) feel just the way they should. And fuck speed deadlifts. Unless there’s some disaster, I’m deadlifting heavy again on Friday.
Tuesday morning: some throws, I don’t feel like BTN today
"But don’t skip things cause you’re tired, unless you think it’ll do more harm than good that session
Every time you skip something, you lose a little bit of the training effect for that day which you’ll never ever get back. So every time you skip, your potential highest strength decreases a tiny tiny bit cause you just wasted a little piece of that session. It could be the difference between a 999 lb squat and a 1000 lb squat in the long run."
Don’t skip BTN stuff. LOL.

Oh goddamnit, hahaha
I’ll do it, thanks man 
Np man, anytime you need it <3 ahaha
^ ha, same for you
Tuesday afternoon:
BTN push jerk - only up to 165, smooth and very fast. (I haven’t gone heavy on these in a while. I should.)
OHP - 7 short rest doubles with 140. The mud was getting too chewed up and I couldn’t keep my footing so I stopped there.
Very happy to be back to normal OHP again.
Fuck this day, for once I couldn’t clear enough time for all the training I wanted.
tuesday night:
close grip 3/2/1 start at 165. Way too short rests trying to fit it in. No progress.
rgghggh
Do some upper back (shoulder blades) work every day. Mob 1st rib, pec minor/subclavius. Don’t forget hammer curls today
Wednesday morning - jumps
lol yea 27 ain’t much but you added 2" to it so gainz r cool
hopefully I can keep on adding!
Wednesday:
Squat - doubles with 305 (plus 10)
widowmaker with 245. Fuck you caveman!
Here’s a video. (Some of the reps aren’t deep enough but it’s not as bad as it looks. The camera is tilted.)
and what the hell is up with the headbanging? I was not aware I was doing that. LOL
