Went for a 30min run today, that sucked ass.
Badass - Week 3 - Day 1
- Bench press → 1x6@77.5% (215) / 1x4@82.5% (230) / 1x3@90% (245)
- Incline DB Press → 2 x max reps… 1x22, 1x15 - 50s
3a. Bent-over 1-arm DB row → 10 rep ramp - 125
3b. Tri pushdowns (rope) → 10 rep ramp - 115
4a. BB Shrugs (2 sec hold) → 10 rep ramp - 275
4b. Incline rear delt flyes (pinkies up) → 3x12 - 8s - Max sit-ups in 2 mins → 54, no improvement, not worried about it. Abs kept cramping
- 2 mile run → 19:10
Notes: I put a 25 on a 100 lb. DB for the DB rows, it worked but limited my ROM (top DB got in the way of my chest). So next week I’m gonna do 1-arm T-bar rows. Also, 19:10 looks bad for a 2 mile time but I’m happy I just ran 2 miles total today. Ran 1 mile in about 7:20, walked a lap, ran almost half a mile, walked lap, ran the rest of the remaining distance. So I’m happy w/ that.
BBQ ribs time.

Badass - Week 5 - Day 3…Deload
- Chin-ups → Max + 50% - did the rings just cause, 3+3+2
- Standing DB Military Press → 2x15 - 25s
- Inc. Rear Delt Flyes, pinkies up → 2x10 - 8s

- Walk on treadmill for a bit
So I’m getting a bit smarter when it comes to training, and realized I’m still young as shit so I need to milk it. Going back to 5/3/1 babay. I am not liking lifting 3x a week at all.
Here’s my split essentially (may be different as I write it up):
Day 1
5/3/1 MP
Chest
Lat width
Triceps (some type of press)
Abs, external rotation work, whatever
Day 2
5/3/1 DL
Biceps
Quad-focused movement (single-leg work, hack squat, leg press, etc)
Hams (optional, but something like back extensions, GHR, various leg curls, etc)
Abs, whatever
Day 3
5/3/1 BP
Upper chest or shoulders work (anything from incline bench to lateral raises)
Back thickness
Triceps (some type of pulldown or another press)
Abs, external rotation, whatever
Day 4
5/3/1 Squat
Biceps/brachialis (hammer curls, pin wheels, etc)
Hamstring movement (rom DLs, etc)
Quad movement as above (optional)
Abs
may do power cleans and power snatches on lower days, still deciding…
hey guys I’m posted in this log right now, it’s an Olympic lifting log.
I saw in a thread that you started doing Barbell Hip thrusts… any comment on how those treated you?
I went to check the other thread and it was locked. Are you posting elsewhere or are you gonna start this beastness back up? ![]()
That would be nice
