Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - Squats & Deads
Warm Up
- PVC roll everything
- Lots of stretching
Back Squats
2 X 5 X 135
1 X 3 X 185
1 X 3 X 225
1 X 1 X 275
1 X 1 X 315
2 X 3 X 345* +15 lb. PR.
NOTES: This is my new 3RM. So happy with this. Each set was a smoke show. Sat down and came right up with them. The last rep of each set was s bit of a struggle, but Ed said that they were solid. Still having a bit of trouble staying tight at the bottom, but it’s 1000x better than it was before. Awesome day of squatting.
Deadlifts
2 X 8 X 140
1 X 5 X 230
1 X 3 X 320
2 X 3 X 370* Not sure if it’s a PR or not. Too lazy to look.
[i]NOTES: After my first set with 370 (used a 50 lb. deadlift bar), Ed was talking to me from about 5-6 feet away and he said that he could see my eyes cross lol. I was so out of it after that set. I was dizzy and wanted to sit down.
Ed: You okay?
Me: Yeah, just a little dizzy.
Ed: I saw your eyes cross. That was pretty cool.
Me: 0.o
Another thing: Ed was saying that I don’t use my hips from the start. He told me to force my knees out a bit to activate my hips. If I do that, then the bar should just fly right off the floor.[/i]
Bent Over Barbell Rows
2 X 8 X 185
Dumbbell Deadlifts
2 X 8 X 85s
NOTES: This is just what Ed called them. They were basically a dead stop dumbbell row. We let go of the weight on the floor, paused for a second, and cranked it back up. Lit my back up pretty well.
Lat Pulldowns
1 X 8 X 120 - Wide-grip
1 X 8 X 120 - Medium-grip
1 X 8 X 120 - Close-grip
[i]ENDING NOTES: Awesome fucking day today. Couldn’t ask for anything better. I had a great day even though I trained in the morning, which is usually a shitty day for me. But since Ed was there, I think it was a completely different ball game. There’s just a certain presence he brings that makes everyone around him stronger. Got light bench and shoulders on Friday, then back & biceps on Saturday.
Finally got off the hook with that other chick as boyfriend #2. Found a new girl lol. Moving on to the next one; let’s see where this goes.[/i]
CS
Squats really have come along, well done.
Great lifting man, god I’m jelly of you having Ed as a coach.
Saw an interview with him by Rip and Ed said he was still squatting and pulling over 700 and benching over 400. Crazy!
Thanks, guys. Squats haven’t always been my best lift, but they’ve definitely improved and still have a long way to go.
CS
Nice squat PR. I really enjoy your little Coan information tidbits. The deadlift hip thing is cool, I may have to try that myself.
Friday, June 29, 2012 - Light Bench & Shoulders
Warm Up
- PVC roll everything
- Lots of stretching
- Shoulder stuff
Bench Press
2 X 10 X 45
1 X 5 X 135
1 X 1 X 160
2 X 10 X 185
NOTES: Was there any weight on the bar? I experimented with a couple of different grips. I think the ring spacing on the bars at my commercial gym are different than those at Quads on Ed’s bars. I went with pinkies on the ring the first set then ring fingers on the rings the second set for shits and giggles. Whatev, I ain’t even mad.
High-Incline Dumbbell Press
1 X 10 X 45s
1 X 10 X 65s
1 X 10 X 70s
1 X 10 X 75s
NOTES: Really had to grind for the 10 reps on the 75s. My shoulders were kinda pre-fatigued from the bench.
Dumbbell Lateral Raises
1 X 12 X 20s
1 X 12 X 25s
1 X 12 X 30s
EZ Bar Front Raises
1 X 12 X 40
1 X 12 X 50
1 X 12 X 60
Cable Side Raises
1 X 10 X 10 (each arm)
1 X 10 X 15 (each arm)
Reverse Dumbbell Flyes
3 X 12 X 15s
NOTES: Slow and controlled on these. Definitely lit up my rear delts.
ENDING NOTES: Good quick workout. Got in, lifted, got out in about an hour, maybe less. Shot the shit with a couple of the regulars there that I usually talk to and left with good pump. I like this exercise selection. Probably gonna keep this for a few weeks then change it up. Got light back and heavy biceps tomorrow.
CS
WELllllllllllllll, good luck with chick numba 2. Just be careful, bitches be crazy, yo.
I DUNNO. They play mind games and whatnot. I know this because I listen in on their conversations on the bus…
SOmetimes they think they have to do this or that to keep you liking them. Or deep down they really have no idea what they want/like. They want what they can’t have, and then if they get it, they don’t want it anymore.
Makes everything way more complicated than it needs to be really. Just find a sane one.
And one that can apprecaite your lifting etc.
Not that she has to lift herself, she just has to understand your passion, ya know? Nothing worse than someone who just doesn’t ‘get it’.
MMKAY BYE
Saturday, June 30, 2012 - Back & Biceps
Warm Up
- PVC roll everything
- Lots of stretching
- Shoulder stuff
Pull Ups
3 X 8 X BW
NOTES: Hard squeeze at the top, so not as many reps as usual.
Close-grip Lat Pulldwons
1 X 10 X 50
2 X 10 X 60
Neutral-grip Low Rows
1 X 10 X 50
1 X 10 X 60
1 X 10 X 70
NOTES: MOAR WEIGHT!!! Good, long stretch at the bottom and squeeze at the top.
EZ Bar Curls
4 X 12 X 45
NOTES: Nice and strict, hardly any body English.
Concentration Curls
3 X 10 X 20 (each arm)
NOTES: Wicked pump from these.
Straight-bar Cable Curls
3 X 12 X 30
Single-arm Machine Preacher Curls
3 X 10 X 25 (each arm)
ENDING NOTES: It’s been an awesome week of lifting so far. All the weights have been moving fast and I’ve just felt fresh the whole week. Strength is up, as well. Body weight is back to 191, after my workout, so I’d imagine it’s a pound or two difference when I wake up in the morning. Diet has finally been back on track, too. Got a rest day tomorrow to be lazy and then got bench on Monday.
CS
Measurement update tomorrow.

Could’ve sworn that I saw Jim Wendler at church this morning. Or maybe just his doppelganger…

1 X 1 X 215
1 X 1 X 245

Paused Close-grip Bench Press
2 X 2 X 240
NOTES: Easy. Smoke show.

Thanks. I was actually just about to post in your log haha.
So the original chick that I was with is back with the other guy, leaving me in the dust. So I said “fuck it” and I ain’t gonna bother with her anymore.
Now it’s time to slay some poon.
