Magick's Training Log

Mon-1-19

Squat-
Body squats
45lb, 2x5
95/115/135/155/185lbx3
205lbx1
220lb, 3x3

My entire lower body felt incredibly sore ever since Saturday. Made this session more painful than usual. On the plus side, I felt a lot better than I usually do on Mondays when it comes to squatting.

DB row-
80lbx5
100lb, 3x5

Left side tired out and on the third set. The reps were no longer good reps.

Hang power-clean-
65lbx3
95lbx3
120lbx2
95lb, 3x3

The 120lb wasn’t happening today. I simply didn’t have enough power coming out, and so each rep became sloppy.

Tues-1-20

Bench-
45lb, 5x5
65/95/105/115/125lbx3
135lbx1
145lb, 3x3

OHP-
45lb, 2x5
65lbx3
75lb, 4x8

Chin-up-
3x6/5//4/3

Most everything felt better today than they did for the past two Tuesdays. Chin-ups sucked though.

Weds-1-21

Squat-
Body squats
45lb, 2x5
95/115/135/155/185lbx3
205/225/245/265lbx1

The 265 felt easy on the body but the ascent felt quite slow.

DB row-
75lb, 4x5. 30 second rest.

Hang power-clean-
65/95lbx3
115lb, 1/1

No power at all.

Looks like my nerves are tired.

Poor log got neglected for the past couple of days.

Thurs-1-22

Bench-
45lb, 5x5
65/95/105/115/125lbx3
135/145/155/165lbx1

This is an opposite of the squat. The reps move nice and fast, but my arms hurt when I do the 165lb.

Chin-up-
4x6/5/4/4

A short session because I woke up late and barely had any time to do anything.

Fri-1-23

Squat-
Body squats
45lb, 2x5

100lb, 3x5

Did these off the floor on the 2nd and 3rd set.

Sat-1-24

Bench-
45lb, 5x5
65/95/105/115lbx3
125/135lbx1
145lbx7

Probably could have gotten an 8 or even a 9 if my upper body didn’t feel so tired out from judo yesterday.

OHP-
45lb, 2x5
65/75/85/95/105lbx3

The 105lb was wonky.

Chin-up
5x6

It’s dumb that I get to do this without any trouble whatsoever when I felt dead tired even though I couldn’t do them when I feel fresh previously.

Face-pulls-
30lb, 5x10

These hurt.

Deload week. Took Mon/Tues off from any real physical activity. Just random push-ups/body squats in the morning and evening.

Fri-1-30

Deadlift
Random shit with the bar.

135/185/225/245/265/285lbx 2 singles.

Effortless once my grip got along with the program around 245lb. Wanted to get to about 335lbish just to see how it feels. Purposely did few reps to not aggravate the shins.

And then my right shin rips exactly at the same spot it ripped a couple of months ago. This is beyond dumb. I spent close to 3 months not deadlifting just to let it heal up.

I’m going to need to get some sort of shin cover.

DB row-
80lb, 3x5

Farmer’s Walk-
85lb, 3x~20 feet?

Body felt fine, no hunching over or anything. But grip had trouble.

Hamstrings felt painfully sore yesterday and today. This made squatting miserable. I blame barbell squatting only once last week and then coming and doing 3x8.

Sat-2-7

Bench-
45lb, 5x5
65lbx3
95/105lbx1
120lbx15

Hrm. Was going to be pleased with another rep and the overall fact that this felt a lot easier than last month (rep 12-14 last month was basically me muscling it up whereas it was much cleaner this time around), and then I look back and see that I did triples for the 95 and 105lb in Jan.

Oh well.

OHP-
45lb, 2x5
65lbx3

As with last month, the reps got faster and cleaner as the sets went on.

DB row-
80lbx5
100lb, 3x5

Left side was definitely weaker than the right side today.

Hang power-clean-
65lbx3
95lbx3

Meh, the weight is light but I lack the clean execution of the actual move again.

Meh. I’ll see what happens next week and the following month and decide whether I set the TM a bit too high.

65lbx3
85lb, 4x6

Chin-up-
7/7/7/5/4

DB snatch-
50lb, 10 min.

Wanted to do some sort of DB complex today for conditioning. Toyed around with clean and press for a couple reps then attempted a DB snatch. Went up easy enough, and so I just chose to continue doing snatches for about 10 minutes.

I found it a fun way to do conditioning work. I’ll keep doing this every week.
