Dave "Bull" Abdemoulaie's Heavy Ass Training Log

[David Abdemoulaie]

Tuesday, Jan. 27

Squat: 5x5x485
Power Clean: 5x3x205

Felt infinitely better than last Tuesday. Squats moved quickly. Easily caught my breath between each set, and went into power cleans feeling fresh. Need to find time for chins.

Good to see you on hear, Dave. You are moving some big weights! Out of curiosity, do you ever film any of your training? I bet a lot of people here would like to see some of your heavy squat work on video.

Thanks John! I do sometimes. In fact, I recorded my last set of 5 yesterday:

Usually I post my videos on Facebook only which makes sharing them here difficult, but I can try to post them to YouTube more often.

Thursday, Jan. 29

Bench: 5x1x365
Press: 4x220

First 3 reps of bench felt a little slow. Fourth and fifth were easy. I think I'll warm up a little more next time instead of jumping from 315. First four reps of press felt good, but they exhausted me. Couldn't get tight enough for 5th rep. Made two attempts, first went away from my body. Tried again but had nothing left.

Friday, Jan. 30

Squat: 5x525

Squat felt good. Little high on first rep.

No time for deadlift before my class. Cooled down too much to try after.

Saturday, Jan. 31

Deadlift: 5x495

Almost didn't do this. Back was feeling a little weak. Glad I did. Felt way easy compared to the last two weeks.

Monday, Feb. 2

Bench: 5x5x300
Press: 8, 6, 7
Banded TPD: 3x22

Bench felt great. Even faster and smoother than last week. Ran out of gas on the press. Wasn't getting a very good pop from my hips. Gonna reset next week and work up by 2.5s.
