What's up with it Vanilla Face?

E N T E R THE C U B E

Did not start with the DL rep day as I did DLs on Monday before I purchased the book. Started with day 2, Pec held up OK, a little wonky but OK. While it doesn’t look like anything much I was actually pretty gassed by the time OH Presses came…

Warmup - Band pulldowns, pullaparts, Chins 5x10, Dislocates…

BENCH HEAVY

FLOOR PRESS - 285x3x2 315x2x2 - Im happy Lilly allows for some wiggle room
INCLINE BB PRESS - 225x2x15 (was supposed to be flat but am avoiding full ROM flat bench for a few weeks)
LAT PULLDOWN - 200x3x12
DB SHRUG - 125x3x15
OH PRESS - 135x12 160x2x12 Klokov Press - Bar x 35
BAND PUSHDOWNS - 40,20,20,20 (done with light band)
CS ROW - 2plt x 30 3plt x 20

ABS - Rolling planks 30 seconds side, front side, 2 sets (gotta do abs every session while doing the cube)

Conditioning - Row Machine at level 4 250 meters for 3 sets.

I keep thinking of the Borg when I hear “cube” training. I guess I’m a geek. Im looking forward to seeing how this programing works for you.

Thanks brother, this is official “off season” for me, I dont plan on doing another meet until June, I think 2 meets a year is perfect, if I get an itch for a third I could fit it in. Im dealing with fucked up pec and groin strain right now, and need to get healthier.

CUBING IT WEEK 1 DAY 3

Squat Rep day…

Groin is not good, this was rough.

SQUAT - 300x3x3
REVERSE BAND (LIGHT) SQUAT - 340x2
OLY SQUATS - 225x5x5
LEG PRESS - 4x15
BAND LEG CURLS - 3x15
1 HAND DB SWING - 50x3x15
DECLINE SITUPS - 25x4

Matty be careful with the groin. Speaking from a bad experience I would avoid squatting until it heals up. I ended up with both a adductor tear and a hernia from ignoring the warning signs which is why I am now doing push/pulls only.

Back then I trained more in a bodybuilding mode so I wasn’t really deadlifting. Deads don’t give me any problems now but when I go below parallel with any real weight squatting I feel it.

OF COURSE YOU COUNT IT! It was a great lift.

That’s some serious weight to put overhead.
