Lol. I was exhausted by the end. I had pretty bad calf pain/weakness in both my legs while squatting – it was a big issue. In the past, split squats have helped with this; so I did them instead of the GM’s.

Litte late commenting on this, but it looks like you had a great meet. Id say you have some pretty damn repectable numbers right now :slight_smile:

Keep up the good work dude!

Hey thanks man! I did have a good meet; actually, it was awesome. I’ll post videos eventually; they’re on my g/f’s phone. Too lazy to post.

I feel like I’ve been not really able to get back into training since then, though. :-/

And I’m now going to brag about something else: I was part of a 3 person team, for Temple University, in the ICPC ACM programming contest, in the mid-atlantic region. We placed 17th out of 124 teams, and 1st in our contest site (15 teams or so).

F Sheiko. I’m going back to 5/3/1. I was out of the gym in like 50 minutes.

Training maxes:

Bench: 305
Squat: 420
Deadlift: 440

Bench:
135x15
165x5
190x5
220x5
255x10 (Not a PR, but not bad considering it’s been forever since I did this many reps!)

plate 14x2x10
plate 13x3x10

Dips:
bw+5x5x8

DB Hammer Curls:
40x3x8

I’m going to move faster during my accessory work, and take it a little easier. I think working up a top set on the accessory work burned me out last time. I also started taking long rests wen I ran 5/3/1 last; going to avoid that this time.

didn’t know you had a log going … let me catch up

11-13-09

Combined two days, sorta.

Press:
45x20
95x8
115x5
135x5
155x5

Deadlift:
135x10
225x5
285x5
330x5
375x12

Tricep Rope Pushdowns:
160x5x10

Rack Pulls:
265x5x10

Press sucked, deadlifts went better than I thought. Gotta get back into my groove.

Accessory work was on the light side. Should easily be able to add 10 lbs each week.

What was your CIS programming project about? If you don’t mind cluttering your training log.

It was the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. You basically have 8 tricky problems to solve in 5 hours. One computer per team, which consists of three people. Whichever team solves the most problems wins.

Was quite fun, and very challenging. The hardest part about it is that when you submit a solution to a problem, if it comes back incorrect, that’s all the feedback you get. You don’t get a stack trace. You don’t get the reason it’s wrong. You don’t get to see the data they used to test your code. So, basically, you’re left debugging your program sort of blindly. Since there’s only one computer, you may, as I did, even be left debugging just using good 'ol paper & pencil.

Here’s the mid atlantic problem set from last year: http://midatl.fireduck.com/archive/2008/MidAtlantic2008.pdf
