Weight was 230.

Intensity Day. Ended up being *lower* intensity day. I didn't have the time or the energy to do upper stuff. I'll do that tomorrow.

SQ - 365x5x1
That's 5...

If I just read this description without any names, I'd swear you were talking about Miles Davis.
I'm wondering how much of his stuff you've actually listened to.

Inertia would have you flying into outer space. Gravity keeps you there.

As in lifting, what works for naturally gifted dynamos may not work for us lowly intermediates.

Weight was 231 this morning.

Decided to scrap the 5/1 idea. Hopped the program before even starting. Instead, I'm gonna do a TM-ish setup. Cheat meals for the week will be a big one...

Found this today and it made me laugh. Figured it belongs here.

4/29/2013 - 5s - Press and Squat

First day of the cut. Going to weigh myself first thing every morning on my home scale to track my progress or lack thereof. Going to do a 5/1 type template with...

Thanks. Yeah, there's really nothing like a heavy squat or deadlift. Life is full of challenges, but no 5 seconds of your life will ever be harder than that 1RM PR attempt. I take comfort in that.

On that first set, looks like reps 3 and 5 actually stopped and maybe came down slightly in the middle. Nice job grinding them out.

Tentative summer cut plans:

Goals:

6 weeks: 4/29 - 6/10
Lose at least 15 lbs
Maintain as much strength as possible - Hit 385/265/475 on 6/10
Be able to move around without panting.

Method:

4/25/2013 - Upper Intensity

Press - 145x5
Probably could have gotten 7. Still getting back into the swing of doing The Press. Did 15 total P/H/C between warmups 4PU, 4HG, 4CU, 1/1/1.

P/H/C -...

Every experiment needs a placebo.

Are you gonna track him down and give him deadlifting advice?

What more can you expect from people who squat like this:

3194

I think Rip forgot how to math.

I'd go like this:
150 (330) - Something you know you can smash
170 (374) - A PR that is reasonably within reach
185 (407) - A go-for-broke stab at a long term...

4/23/2013 - Lower Volume Failure

PC - 145x5x3
I got through all of these, but irritated my elbows somethin fierce. I think I'm pulling with my arms again, and I loathe power cleans because I...

4/22/2013 - Upper Volume

Weight 336

BP - 225x3x5
Wasn't too hard. I'll push it up to 230 for next week.

PU/HG/CU - 4/4/4, 4/4/4, 3/3/3, 2/2/2
2 min rest between all sets. This was very...

4/20/2013 - Lower Intensity

Official weight (digi scale) 332 w/o shoes.

This was a Saturday. I went in around 2PM after having eaten nothing all day. Wasn't expecting much, but found that I...
