Do you compete in powerlifting or oly lifting?
-
JSutt: I don't compete in either, hence my log is in the general training section. If I can get my snatch and C&J up to some respectable numbers, I might do a masters meet. (I'll be 44 soon). If I can get my base strength level up ...I'm gonna maybe join a strict oly only gym and get coach etc. I have no real interest in powerlifting, other than the strength training side of it, programming, etc.

8-19-2015 WED VOL upper / HVY legs
One of the worst workouts of my life.
However, OHP went OK
- OHP bar x10, x5; 95x5; 135x4; 160x2; 185 3x5 6:00
. . . grindy last reps of course; stuck here at 185 for a while
- HBBS bar 2x5; 135x5; 205x4; 245x2; +belt 285 x1 . . .didn't feel too bad.
. . . 310 x2 felt WAY TOO HEAVY; loose back tightness in bottom, turning in GM LBBS, STOPPED!
. . . WTF; a guess I'd admit my sleep has not been good lately; this happened last week too
. . . today was supposed to be the day I up my vol day weight: 305 last 2-3 weeks . . .but fuck no.
. . . tried to go down 275 no belt . . .did a couple of reps, still felt heavy, shut it down
- CLEAN I was curious to see what would happen here, wasn't good: 135x3; 160x2; 185x1; 205x miss; 205x1; 215x1 hard WTF; 225 lost in bottom . . .I felt backwards onto ass.
shut down -- fuck me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I took about 1 1/2 week off . . .I'm not counting 8-19 Wed . . .that sucked
Switch things around a little : HLM thing . . .drop oly lifts a while.... just barbell stuff, and maybe some jumping stuff (son started basketball)
8-26-2015 WED - HEAVY DAY?
- INCLINE BOOB PRESS: bar x20; 135x5; 135x5; 185x4; 205x3 felt heavy???; 225 5x5 . . .each work set felt easier than last. Was easy overall, didn't pay attention to rest periods.
. . .haven't done these in a while . . PR vol thing used to be 235 6x6 maybe . . . from today, I see 245# 5x5 in a month
- HBBS no belt; 135x5; 185x4; 225x3; 250x2; 275 3x5 5:00's
. . . fucking harder than I woulda liked !!! , but form was good/ok; I was upright anyways . . .using to quads.
. . . glad to see my legs are weaker, and my upper body is stronger than ever, real happy about that.
- Clean DEAD LIFT 225x3; 275x3; 325 3x5 5:00's
. . . (DOH, hooked, wider grip than a "anything-goes-DL" . . .straight back; ext'd lumbar & thorasic, etc . . .lower hip start. . . like a Clean . . oh, and no belt)
. . . thumbs are problem, need tape next time . . . would like to get this up to 405 3x5 with GOOD form
- CHIN UPS just BW 8;8;6
Thoughts:
Beltless squats might be the shit for strengthening the back/trunk. Got away from these, could've been a mistake.
Squats maybe do 285x5, then 275 2x5 back offs nx week; then 295x5, 280 2x5; then just add 5# per week after that: 300 1x5, 285 2x5
Deads . .could add 5#'s every week, need to remember tape. Got away from heavy deads . . .coulda been a mistake.
Inclines . . . add 5# every week for a month, maybe lower sets as weight creeps up, maybe like: 230 5x5; 235 5x5; 240 4x5; 245 4x5; 250 3x5; 255 3x5
Also weighed 219 . . .down from 223-224 . . . would like to stay under 100kg

9-28-2015 FRI. LIGHT DAY --- BIG PROBLEMS
- BTN PRESS, Standing bar x10; 95x5; 115x5; 135 3x5
- BENT ROW 185 3x5
while warming my legs up for some box jumps . . .I did AN AIR SQUAT, and my right QUAD CRAMPED UP SO BAD I had to bail out. That's right, I could not rise from the bottom position. The pain was such that I had to roll off to the side in the squat pos. I laid on the floor . . . I left gym very sad.
WHAT
THE
FUCK

8-28-2015 SAT
Continuation of 'light day'. Quad felt better, thorough warm up.
Did some seated box jumps. Tried one CMJ to box . . .quad locked up again.
Left.
for about five years, I think I've had RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome).
And its been getting worse; and lately been getting debilating leg cramps.
Two or three quad cramps / and a couple of hammy cramps.
I think there is something wrong . . . and getting worse w/ nerves, nutrition, sleep, etc
8-29-2015 SUN MED DAY
- FRONT SQUAT bar x5,x5; 135x5; 185x5; 205x5; 210x5; 215x5
- SN G DL 185x5; 225x5; 230x5; 235x5
- CGBP 135x5,x5; 185x5; 225 4x5
- WIDE GRIP PULL UPS BW 3x5
- FACE PULLS 3x15 w/ some light weight
other thoughts:
front squats: add 5#'s across next week . . . so 210x5;215x5;220x5 . . .then 215;220;225 . . .remember MED DAY !
sngdl: same thing 5#'s accross . . .this would be a minor load increase for Med. day. . .
Terrible sleep last couple of nights. "Jumped"/leg kick while finally dosing off . . .awoke myself with a rt.quad cramp at same time. Did some googling: maybe I have magnesium deficiency and/or too much caffeine and/or too much calcium or something.
Maybe got 1 1/2 of sleep last night.
