December 10, 2011

Bench: 135x4, 157.5x2, 170x2, 180x1, 190x4x2, 190x5 (Moron)
Press: 140x5x2 (5 sets of 2)
Dips: 30 total (5x6)
Neck: 45 lbs.x3x25

Screwed up and thought I was supposed to do doubles on the bench when it really was supposed to be triples. Realized this on the last set and just did a set of five to make up for the mistake.

Dead: 175x5, 210x3, 245x2, 280x2, 297.5x2, 280x2, 297.5x2, 297.5x2,
280x2, 210x10 (touch and go)
Cleans: 5x3 ramping (115, 120, 125, 130, 135)
Chins: 30 total (10x3)

Subbed PC for T-bar rows b/c I miss doing cleans. Last set of 135 was actually 3 singles since I wasn't gonna get a set of 3.

Squat: 137.5x5, 165x2, 192.5x2 (220x2, 235x2, 240x2)x2, 192.5x8
Dips: 50 total (10x5)
Curls: 95x2x6

Really been slacking on the conditioning. It always seems to get thrown on the back burner. Will try to get some in Friday and maybe a little Sunday, don't know.

BW: 184

Bench: 135x4, 157.5x2, 170x2, 180x1, 190x2, 195x5x2 (5 sets of 2)
Press: 140x6x2
Dips: 50 total (10x5)
Neck: 45x4x25

Last press sets felt better than the first 3. Tells me my form sucks on the beginning reps, I'm pushing the bar too far out in front of my face. This corrected as each set progressed and I was aiming to hit my nose.

Dead: 175x5, 210x4, 245x2, 280x2, 297.5x2, 305x4x2
Makeshift T-Bar Rows: 70 lbs. on the bar x5x10
Chins: 30 total

Been under the weather since Sunday night with a cold, but since I don't have a fever figured I'd train. Pretty decent session all things considered. 305 deads did feel heavy though, especially the last 2 sets.

Rebooting my log. I contacted Jim Steel to prepare a strength and conditioning program for me because he is great and I need a kick in the ass.

Week 1, Day 1

Shadowbox 2x2 minute rounds
Squats: 125x5, 150x4, 175x12x3
RDL: 135x4x5
Bas Rutten Boxing CD: 5x2 minute rounds

I chose a starting squat max of 250 which have been too conservative. Also, I think my RDL form may suck since I didn't feel it in my hamstrings enough.

Week 1, Day 2

Close Grip Bench: 125x5, 145x5, 165x5
Lying Triceps Extensions: 55x3x15, 50x15, 45x15
Barbell Curls w/slight swing: 85x5x6
DB Curls: 25x3x12

Went with 193.5 as my CGBP max. Started too heavy on Lying Tricep Ext and had to reduce the weight a little. Was supposed to do db curls but I don't have dumbbells so I used my 25 pound plates which have a good place to grip - ended up being more like hammer curls though.

The video is set to private, so I can't watch it.

JAM, I think I fixed it.
