The Norseman's Log

Dead Lift:

285 x 5

325 x 3

360 x 5 PR

Notes:These felt good.

High Rack Pull:

365 x 1

Notes: Grip was shit at this point, could barely hold on. I think becoming accustomed to high intensity weights while pounding out top sets is the key here.

Pullups:

(25 bw) x 6

bw x 8

bw x 4

bw x 2

Curls:

55 x 8

50 x 6

Prone Lower Trap Raises:

10 x 14 x 3

Notes: I wish I could have put some real weight on for the rack pulls, but that’s ok. I think my top set was like a 15 lb PR.

Thinking about adding some reeves deadlifting to my training, looks fun

Military Press:

125 x 5

145 x 3

160 x 3 PR

Notes: I could have had 3-5 more easy, but I pulled the fuck out of my back on the second set-don’t ask me how-so I laid off.

40 Yards x 10

Notes: Cut the workout short obviously, this is probably the worst muscle pain i’ve ever had. I could barely drive home, but the funny thing is I know for a fact it’s not a skeletal or structural issue, it’s just a fat ass pull/knot in my upper mid back. Good thing I got my deload coming up.

Squat:

310 x 5

355 x 3

395 x 1

Notes: 355 x 3 was damn hard. I went on a long mountain hike the day before, several portions of which included carrying my girlfriend around. Good workout, but my squat suffered. That’s fine though, i’m ok with this.

Pulldown Abs:

80 x 15 x 3

Face Pulls:

100 x 12 x 3

Notes:Solid increases on accessories, i’m fine with this workout.

2 Gassers

2 Stadiums

1 100 m sprint

1 100 m jog

1 100 m walk

My brother died at this point so I cut it short

Bench:

Bar x 10

95 x 5

135 x 5

185 x 5

Notes:
Felt pretty good. Gunna go do some running. Deloads are boring…

Reeves Deadlift

60 m hill sprint x 4

200 m sprint x 2

Tuesday-Conditioning

Thursday-Speed

Notes:Will increase hill distance and reps. Probably add a 25 yard shuttle for 300 yards…

Changing my training back to 4 days a week so I can squeeze 2 cycles in before I ship off to camp

MP:

45 x 5

65 x 5

85 x 5

DL:

135 x 5

225 x 5

S:

135 x 5

225 x 5

DB BP:

45 x 8

45 x 8

DB R:

45 x 15

45 x 15

So I went camping and it fucked up the whole 4 day a week thing as well as my running schedule so i’m staying 3 days a week til next cycle and i’m just gunna fit in running back to back. I have my intro class at pacific ring sports tomorrow, pretty nervous but i’m looking forward to it.

Cycle 9 Wave 1

Bench:

190 x 3

220 x 3

250 x 3

Notes:
Shoulder popped and I didn’t go for anymore. Not suppose to on this anyways…

Pin Press (First pin above chest):

225 x 1

245 x 1

265 x 1

Notes: I really liked doing these. That is basically my sticking point, just 1-3 inches off the chest…I could have had more but I was happy to just lift some heavier weight. I’ll go for 275 next 1rm week. I think this has been the biggest thing missing from my training. I don’t mind starting out way below my previous 1rm as long as i’m not repping 225 x 10 and having trouble maxing above 250.

100 x 20

100 x 16

100 x 12

135 x 3

155 x 6 PR ( 1 rep)

170 x 1

BB Row:

155 x 10 x 3

YTWL:

10 x 3

Notes: Solid workout. Killer run. Proud of my little brother, he’s working hard. Also, need a new tricep exercise. My gym no longer has a weight belt so heavy dips are out of the question.

Adding CGBP I have decided, will do a sort of dynamic effort with it 8-10 sets of triples at 50%.

Edit: Just bought a CoC Gripper which I’ll train after lower body days.

Vacationing in socal. Worked out at a great outdoor beach gym today.
