John Petrizzo's Training Log

[John Petrizzo]

I think the next step is to include a pump quarantine rating for each workout. We have to know how sick the pumps get.

That is not a bad idea, Curls.

Press - 45x5x2, 95x5, 135x3, 165x2, 195x1, 225x1, 240x1x10, 215x3
Dips - BWx5, 5, 5, 5, 8

Presses were hard, but went well. I am happy I got all 10 singles with 240. Really went conservative with dips. I have not seriously done them in a very long time due to an old shoulder injury, so I was just testing them out last night more than anything.

[John Petrizzo]

Ten singles at 240 is awesome.

Thanks, Gilchrest. Your training looks like it is going really well too!

SGDL - 135x5, 225x3, 315x2, 365x6x3

Good training session. I was really happy with how the squats went. This was probably the first time I have ever done snatch grip deadlifts. I liked them. Some videos from last Friday and last night's session below:

[Adam Skillin]

Excellent work. The squat @495 was particularly deep and smooth.

Rev Lunge - BWx10x3
Chins - BWx10, 8, 8

Pretty good session. Alternated between sests of chins and lunges. I really hate lunges. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

[Cody]

Everyone hates lunges.

[John Petrizzo]

Everyone hates lunges.

Except for Ben Bruno and Mike Boyle. I actually think I am just going to drop doing most of the single leg stuff. After giving it a try for a month, I just don't think it drives any sort of meaningful adaptive stimulus. Andy has them in the program mostly for GPP, but I have been good about doing conditioning for the last several months, so not doing them will save me some time.

2/4

Airdyne Intervals

2/6

Bench - 45x15, 95x5, 135x5, 185x3, 225x2, 275x1, 295x5x5

Chins - BWx10, 9, 9, 9, 8

Pretty good session. Bench was pretty easy.

I was hoping that you were going to say that lunges were helping you put on more leg size. I also hate lunges but I would do them if you thought they were helping in the thigh mass area.
