    This is very true my clap pushup game is weak, along with my double unders and kipping pull-ups. Things I have to work on if I ever want to get strong.

    7/20
    Squat
    355x5@7
    410x5@8 belt
    465x6@9 almost died of heat exhaustion
    505x1@8 almost passed out on bench during rest interval
    545x1@9 finally got my shit together for 1 rep
    355x5x2@8 beltless

    Chins
    6 sets of 5 reps

    notes: Not kidding about the heat exhaustion. Started to feel real nauseous and light headed and thought about shutting it down after the 465 set. I passed out afterwards and slept right through my alarm which hasn't happened in years. Still feel kind of weird/ nauseous as I'm writing this which is about 24 hours later.

    7/21
    Clean and Jerk
    70x2x3
    110x2
    140x1
    160x1
    170x1
    175x1
    180x1

    notes: I'm thinking 180 is going to be my second attempt at Nationals. Felt real solid overhead today. While 180 is not a PR it's the second heaviest I've ever done and I did it without a large crowd of people watching which is a very good sign.

    Hey Guys,

    I felt like my recent and upcoming escapades better belonged in this log. For next 3 months I've hopped on the Baker Barbell Club. I've made some small adjustments to his template but the overall core is the same. The time I can dedicate to training is kind of limited until the end of March and I wanted to have some fun doing exercises I have't done in years. I'm going to be updating this log on the weekend instead of after each session. I think this strategy will allow me to keep up with it better.

    1/2/17
    Warmed up with some light pause squats up to 225
    Power Clean and Jerk: 275x1, 315x1
    Deadlift: 545x1@7, 5851@8, 635x1@9, 660x1@10, 595x2@10
    2'' Deficit: 525x3@9, 465x5@8
    Low Cable Row: 4 sets of 8-10 reps between 180-144lbs
    Decline Situp: 3 sets of 15 reps superset with Incline DB curl: 30x15x3


    1/4
    Press: 195x2@7, 225x1@8, 250x1@9, 260x1@9.5, 235x2@9, 235x2x2@9.5
    Single Arm Low Incline DB Press: 80x6@7, 90x6@8, 100x6x3@9
    Chaos pushup: 12, 10
    Pushup: 12

    1/6
    SQ: 455x1@8, 495x1@9, 520x1@10, 470x2@9, 470x2@10
    DB Step Ups (18inch): 30x5x10 Superset with Chins 10 sets of 5 reps
    Prowler Push low handles: 270x25ydsx4

    My back was smoked for the week after that DL workout on Monday. On Friday I felt like I had no gas to squat and everything just felt hard. Overall very happy with the week. My goal going into this week was to hit at least 90% of what I hit during the SS Fall Classic and I did that and then some. Looking forward to seeing how a lower frequency approach pans out over the next few months.

    Overall training has been going well. Yesterday I was feeling pretty beat and had different numbers in mind before the day started but backed off and decided not to push it. I'm enjoying playing around with assistance stuff I haven't touched since my bodybuilding days.

    Interested to see how this new program goes. In terms of your training as a bodybuilder vs. strength/weight/ power lifter, what differences did you notice in hypertrophy in different muscle groups between the two approaches?

    Hey guys, I started to feel the itch to start logging again so here goes another try.

    Training has been going pretty well for the first time in a long time. Lately I have been really focusing on squats. Last week I accumulated 57 reps at an average of 415lbs and that is up from about 40 reps at an average of 395lbs a few weeks earlier. This week I am stepping back on volume and pushing the intensity a little more.

    8/7/17
    Squats: 445x5@7, 470x5@8.5
    Press: 205x5@6, 215x5@7.5, 225x5@9
    Deadlifts: 515x5@7, 425x5x2 beltless
