Day 36
Sunday 29 January 2017
Bwt 229.4
HRV a go

Bench press 45x20,95x5,135x3,185x1
217.5x2x5
Performance degradation noticed in bar speed.

Squat bar warmup then
Squat 135x5,225x3,315x1,365x1. Sleeves and 10mm belt
410x6x5sets..well damn I suprised myself..it wasn't easy but I got all the work.
I noticed with the bar a little higher on or above the spine of scap I get better performance.. either the shoes or the fatigued back.

Squat overlaod walk out and static holds 585x3 sets

Ok, I was sluggish this morning hardly wanted to move, I really had to drag myself out to the garage and do this. My performance was suppressed but strong enough to do the squats., wife notices the change when I have reached overload quicker than I see it.
That wraps up the accumulation portion of this if you are a blockhead.

Impressive amount of volume at that weight.

Impressive amount of volume at that weight.

It's an excursion in the loading scheme, I could not live here. The volume progression goes easy, medium, hard and what the hell was I thinking?

Day 39
Wednesday 1 February 2017
Bwt 229
HRV a go

Shoulder protocol a little pm.

Deadlift
135x4,3,225x3,315x1,375x1
427.5x5x5 set 3&4 strapped the rest hooked.( strapping let me focus more mental energy on my hip start. Then it stuck when I hooked the last set..just some technical ironing) no wild pulls just solid technical volume.

Concentric assistance.

Sled row 165# including sled up hill and down hill
Trip up and a trip back..60-70 reps
High push 7 times. Rested by unloading th deadlift bar.


If I had a training partner I would try Anderson squats here but no way am I doing the load unload thing to avoid eccentric assistance .
