The Training Log of a Chronic Over Eater

Morning bw 208 (I have a digital scale that gave me 4 different numbers this morning, 208 was second lowest and seemed reasonable)

Limber 11

Today’s training, 70m

General warming

Extra work:

Back extensions 25# x 5 x 10
Hammer curls for pump
Machine laterals 65# x 2 x 10
Carries:
Waiter 65# x 60s each, 80# x 50s each
Suitcase 80# x 70s each

Conditioning

40 burpee pull ups, completed in 8:23m at 176bpm

These felt pretty good. I haven’t been doing much conditioning work lately so I was slow.

Played with high pulls from the squat rack.

Morning bw 208.1

Limber 11

Today’s training, 71m

General warming

Work: jvfs with breathing technique and sldl maintaining hard arch

Box jumps 2 x 5
Jvfs: 120 x 3, 135 x 3, 155 x 7, 135 x 7, 120 x 7
Sldl: 45 x 10, 105 x 5, 135 x 5, 160 x 5, 185 x 3, 215 x 3, 240 x 15, 215 x 15, 185 x 16

Good day for both exercises. Little bit of a surprise since I was feeling somewhat drained coming into this workout. The squat reps hit my goals for the day with at least one Rep in the tank, maybe not for the top set since my back was starting to give up. Sldl was over goal reps for each set with reps in tank. The sldl is progressing rapidly for me.

Rgbp and pendlay row 5s progression

Row: 45 x 12, 95 x 10, 115 x 10, 135 x 5, 155 x 5, 185 x 5 (could have continued but time was up)
Bench: 45 x 5, 95 x 5, 115 x 5, 135 x 5, 155 x 5, 185 x 5

Good day. My progress had perked up since adding plazma. I do two servings. I’m not convinced I need much more than 400 calories while working out since I do eat about an hour before taking plazma. I’ve been using a MAG-10 pulse after training, sometimes a second. I just recently decided to try half servings on the MAG-10. We’ll see if that makes a difference. It’s working so far.

So my goal is to push as hard as possible next week. I’m going on a trip the following week and won’t be touching weights while there (although I plan to stay active). So I’m hoping that the over reaching will necessitate the off week. My plan is to go as big as possible on volume and hit new prs on everything next Tuesday and Thursday.

Saturday morning bw 206.5
Sunday morning bw 207.1
Morning bw 209.5 (that’s odd )

Limber 11

Today’s training, 67m

General warming

Not too bad a day. Row form got sloppy in top set, hips rising too high causing back to round.

45 x 10, 135 x 10, 155 x 10, 175 x 10, 155 x 10, 135 x 10

Rgbp and row bbb

45 x 10, 95 x 10… no more time

Happy with today’s results. New prs for the techniques I’m working. Squats feel exponentially easier without the pause. I’d like to Max out on that some time to see where it’s at. Sldl wasn’t very snappy. Upper back was feeling tired, probably from yesterday.

Done. This workout took a lot out of me. That’s ok, leaving for vacation tomorrow. Pendlay row was a 50# pr. Bench was under pr of 245. No new max on bench but Rep prs are continuing to come along. Maybe a few more cycles. Two days ago, squat was 40# pr and sldl was 40# pr. Good progress for 2.5 months.
