1/8/15 I did things in a different order than normal and it had bigger impacts than i expected.
Warmups/ stretch
Squat 135x3x5 225x2x3 275x2 315x1/ 335x8 This was physically easy but mentally hard i had planned on this since last week but somewhere along the way the switch flipped from “easy no prob” to “hope i can do it”
Pwr C+J 8x2/ 215/220/225/230/235/240x2+1 245x1 as it landed on my shoulders my phone rings (I lift in a HS wt room and had my phone connected to the stereo) so i had to go get my phone ended up being my dad back from a trip and he talked to me for about 15 min by this time i was to cooled down from cleans and just moved on
Press 115x5/ 130x5/ 150x8 very tough my shoulders and arms were shot after C+J/ 115x12
chins bdy 2x12
abs 8x10-15
good workout need to be more mentally focused on positives and next time maybe just not answer the phone, its a tough decision though when its your father haha.
1/11/15 Sunday
first week of LE skills was ok, just as i expected i need to really increase core strength and just conditioning in general, I have plans for that.
Bench 210x5/ 240x3/ 270x1,1,1 three singles your supposed to hit a couple progressive singles after the first one but i had no spotter and the 270 was tough enough today. It may be finally time to readjust TM, and work on pausing better.
Hng Pwr C+J 10x1/ 215/225/230/235/240/245/250/255x1+1 260x1 missed J 265x1+1
big day today on these was just explosive and really found a great groove on jerks
Volume Squat 290x10sx3r took 105-120 sec rest between sets
fat bar curl 105x12;6
great day today, but need to get the abs and lungs up, im definately not the worst in shape person in my LE combatives class, but the last thing i want is to have that class suck, i want to kick ass and take names.
1/13/ Tues
great day, only got 5.5 hours of sleep but felt ok and ended up doing good.
Push press 165x5/ 190x3/ 210x1 220x1 230x1 all these were smooth and easy
Front Squat 210x5/225x4/240x3/255x2/275x4 happy with this stopped the set when my bar speed slowed. easily had more but savin it for the PR set next session.
Deadlift 350/395/445x5 lifetime PR on DL*
face pulls 2x20
talked to a buddy and got some “easy” bodyweight and conditioning workouts from when he was a wrestler for me to slowly break into so i can slowly and surely combine the two so my combatives class will be more of a breeze and still allow me to work on strength. tonight will be my first workout and will normally do 2-3 days of it on “off days” pretty excited for it actually.
gonna bring this back, i still lifted through my LE class but stopped logging it on here but i enjoyed doing it so ill start again.
some recent PRs Squat 365x9 Bench 255x8(ez) Deadlift 435x9 press 185x5 ( I got all these on my 5/3/1+ week)
i graduated just fine and now have my full focus back on improving strength, this week is a deload and then beginning the 531 strenth challenge and possibly doing a meet on October 3rd, not positive yet though need to see where i am in the process of being hired.
