Quite a few hours after training, I’m not nearly as sore as I would have expected.
I’m also coming to the realization that I’m not a powerlifter. By that I mean I don’t put the absolute premium on my 1RM. I’m just as, if not more so, interested in increasing multiple rep maxes. This should be a helpful realization.[/quote]
It will definitely alleviate some self-induced stress. Are you still squatting low bar?[/quote]
Not for the most part. It’s been mostly high bar lately, but I’m keeping both styles.

b. Cable Abs 3x15
Everything but close grip went well. My shoulders are definitely getting stronger.
First time barbell benching in a bit. Didn’t really push anything, but it felt good. Left elbow tendinitis was flaring up, but I took care of it. Good on everything else.
I trained the past two days, but it’s not worth posting. Just some fun easy stuff and some squats.
I have a meeting tomorrow with our Rec Staff because some goons want to start a CrossFit affiliate here and basically want to steal the Dungeon. I will do everything in my power to stop this atrocity.

a. GHD Situp 4x10xBW
b. DB RDL 4x10x35
c. Standing Calves 4x10x225
Pretty solid day. Didn’t feel particularly strong or have that “pop”, but got work done. Squat form is getting tighter every session. First time doing deficits in a while, but things still moved well when I ensured I was in proper starting position.
Squatted and deadlifted some. Not much happened besides the fact that I can now pull 500 beltless on my deathbed.

Mil. Press 5x165 caused severe elbow pain. will discontinue
BB Cheat Curl 8x135, 3x10x95

b. Rear Delt Machine 3x15x70
DB Curl 4x15x30
Cable Rev. Curl 3x10x90
Pretty good. Elbows were hurting from pressing, especially with a barbell. I don’t know why, but it actually looks like I lift now.
Hey guys, been off the grid for a while. I won’t make any promises to keep this updated, but here’s an overview of what’s been going on with me.
Squatted 435(vid is on my youtube)
Benched 315(good for more)
Deadlift is improving(mostly in rep prs)
Bodyweight is 185ish. Probably leaner and stronger than I’ve ever been.
I eat poptarts and deli meat a lot.
My left patella is being mean and I can’t squat at all. I’m working on it, hopefully it’ll be good soon. I’ll just use this as an excuse to do more upper body and make my body even more disproportionate.
Snatch Deadlift 3x475 PR
Leg Ext. 4x15x150 the only quad movement I can do right now
Leg Press Calves 2x30x225, 3x20x315
HS Iso Row 6x6x335
CNG Pulldown 4x8x160
Decline Situp 3x6x45
KB Swing 4x20x24kg
The snatch dead is like pulling from a 2-3inch deficit. First time getting really heavy on em. I like it. Felt good this morning after actually getting to sleep last night.
Hump Row 11x335
CGDBP 6x275 PR ezpz
PWG Chins 4x8xBW
Rope Pushdown 5x10x120
DB Row 3x8x130 so hard after all the other stuff
Pretty good day. CGDBP was awesome considering I trained chest yesterday. It didn’t aggravate my elbows at all and my triceps felt strong and stable. Paused chins are hard/fun.
Moved into a new apartment today, so I need to go buy more food.
Seated DB Press 7x85 PR, 20x60 PR
DB Hammer Curl 8x90, 15x70
Hang & Swings 2x25x50
DB Rear Delts 3x20x15
Erg 5x500m/1min rest
Felt surprisingly strong as a third day of pressing in a row. My shoulder almost popped out of socket on the 12th rep of the 20 rep set of pressing. It’s an old injury that hasn’t shown it’s face in a while, so let’s see where this goes. Hammer curls felt really strong. Being able to erg without my knee dieing in pain is a GREAT sign, so hopefully I can squat soon.
Deadlift 1x585 PR
NG Pulldown 5x6x190
SA Pushdown 6x8x90
HS Row 4x5x385
GHD Situp 3x12xBW
Leg Raise 3x10xBW
Finally got the 6plate deadlift. My yiayia passed away last night, so I’m taking the rest of the work week off to go the funeral in Louisiana. I should be able to train tomorrow. I’ll get the video of the deadlift up later today hopefully.
CGDBP 3x295 PR not bad
Seated DB Press 4x90 PR, 10x75
Lying DB Ext. 5x7x45
a. Face Pull 4x10x75
b. Rope Pushdown 4x10x120
Back is pretty stiff from yesterday day, especially the erectors. It’s to be expected. Close grip was easy, didn’t feel like pushing it. Will be repping 315 on it soon. Went with a friend to immediately eat pizza after this workout. Heading to Louisiana tomorrow.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I seem to train better when I log my training on here, even if no one follows it. I’m currently directing more of my focus on school and ROTC in preparation for LDAC. I also weigh less than almost any other time in my training history.
9/29/12
Rack Pull(2inch below knee) 5x565
DB Row 3x8x135
DB Curl 5x6x50
WG Chins 6x10xBW
Rear Delt Machine 6x10
BB Curl 100xbar
Pretty decent overall. Abs were tired from pause squatting yesterday. Bodyweight is 187ish.
