LMAO, I have no idea what you mean.
2hrs BJJ
- Clean complex (1 pause at knee + 1 clean) work to single 9RPE 90kg
- Close grip bench 3x10 (65kg)
- Strict press (5 sec eccentric) 3x10 (37.5kg)
- Far grip rows (pause on chest) 3x10 (45kg)
- Squats 5x8 (140kg)
- BB back extension 3x10 (15kg)
3a. Single leg glute bridge 3x10
3b. KB gunslinger curl 3x12-15
Squats felt awesome. Like 8-8.5RPE
Right bicep/forearm also felt great. I think all the fat grip/kB curls have sorted out the issues I was having there. For the time being at least
BW also up to 84kg which is nice, seeing as BIGGER stronger faster is the goal
That some decent volume at 3 plates mate. Good to see those jacked quads of yours can still put on a show.
Thanks man! Final week of 8s coming up and then I’ll be building to a heavy 5x5 over the next 4 weeks. Goal there would be to do something in the ballpark of 170-180kg for 5x5
W4D1
- Hang clean. (5sec eccentric) 7x2 build on last 3. (75,85,92.5kg)
- Front squat 3RM (140kg) then -15%x3+ (120x5)
- Good mornings 3x8 (50kg)
Two PRs in one on the front squat. Very very happy
I think the zercher pin deadlifts have been instrumental at helping solidify my upper back stability under load
They were sweeeeeeet.
- Wide grip bench 10x5 (85kg)
- DB push press 3RM (30kg) then 2x3 (25kg)
3a. Dips 5 submax sets (10kg)
3b. Chins 5 submax sets (10kg)
Man DB push press is so hit and miss for me, just keeping the darn things balanced is a challenge. Still, it’s a supplementary lift for my barbell press so the PRs don’t matter so much
- Bulgarian split squats 5RM (90kg) then 2x5 (80kg)
- Zercher pin deadlift 5RM (140kg)
- Landmine single leg RDL 4x8 (10/20/20/25kg)
Bonus Bi’s/tris/shrugs
- Clean complex (1 pause at knee + 1 full clean) 1RM (100kg)
- CG bench press 5x10 (75kg)
- Strict press 8RM (50kg) then -15% x8+ (42.5x11)
- Fat grip paused rows 3x10 (60kg)
The first clean with the pause at the knee I didn’t split wide enough and basically dragged my foot which dropped me out of position. NEARLY spat out the bottom but thanks for zercher mode I was able to manhandle it back into position
Final session of accumulation phase
- Squat 5x8 (150kg)
- Back extension 3x10 (bw only)
- Single leg glute bridge 5x10 (bw only)
Well very happy with 5x8 at 150kg
Probably 8RPE at start and 9-9.5RPE by final set
Love the pared down simplicity of your programming Klein, just in a couple of movements pushed hard and done, no fluff, great work on those squats, I see tasty PRs on the horizon for you!
Thanks man, it’s a Travis Mash program I’ve had sitting around for a while. Dudes forgotten more about getting people strong than I’ll ever know ![]()
Off day today and felt like getting an arm pump, so did old faithful Matt Kroc 1000 rep arm workout
That has to be understatement of the week right there
I love strength training, power cleans are awesome, and having monster conditioning is very cool, but no matter how long I train or where my focus goes, there is nothing cooler than a gnarly arm pump
Hypertrophy phase weeks 5 - 8
- Clean W pause at knee 5RM (70kg 8RPE) then -10% X5
- Squat 5x5 75% (160kg)
- Good morning 5RM (70kg 8RPE) then -10 2x5
- Zercher reverse lunge 4x10 (build from 7RPE)
