Calgacus' crazy lifter log

[Calgacus]

Tonight's Thursday's Wednesday workout - usual warmups less PCs:
1-Overhead Presses:
5x3@145#( I felt the armpit pull again on my 5th rep, so the next two sets I did my reps slowly and had no further problem)
2-Power Cleans - SKIPPED em tonight as I forgot to pack my sweats and didn't want to do these in my work pants, also my back was a little tired and sore so was thinking of skipping them anyway.
3-Seated dumbbell curls:
5x3@50# got all reps at 50# this time, an improvement over last week
4- lying triceps extensions:
5x3@125#

accessories:
5- inclined Flys
5x3@60#, up from 50# last time

Saturdays Friday workout:
Squats: 5x3@255 - kept the weight the same this week, will increase next friday
Dead lifts: 5x1@275

accessory:
calf raises 10x3@110
shrugs 10x3@200# plus whatever the bar weighed, I used the bar you step inside of, felt good but not sure what it weighs.

a good week despite skipping the power cleans and pushing everything back a day.

Tuesdays Monday Workout:
Squats: 5x3@255
Bench Press: 5x5@300# got em all this week but my rest periods sometimes stretched a little long - up to 8 minutes for at least one. But I made some use of the time by splicing in ...
Accesories:
Pulldowns - mixed types as I had to share the equipment.

I took monday off this week because I didn't sleep more than a half hour sunday night. Didn't really sleep much the last two nights either but I'm tempted to go the gym on schedule tonight anyway but i should probly go thursday night and then saturday and get back to my usual schedule monday.

Tonight's Thursday's Wednesday workout - usual warmups :
1-Overhead Presses:
5x3@150# ( no armpit pull this week )
2-Power Cleans
3X5@135 i think I did them better this time, was getting my elbows up faster
3-Seated dumbbell curls:
5x3@50# got all reps at 50#, barely, had to try the last rep twice though
4- lying triceps extensions:
5x3@135# assuming the ez bar was 15# thats an improvement but was very hard, just barely got em.
So at least 3 excercises was improved

accessories:
- inclined Flys
10x3@50#, shoulda done 60# or 65# but forgot my previous weeks weight
- seated calf raises
10x1@90#, 10x2@110#

Saturday i should try shrugs at least, maybe forearms, mid section, rear or even middle delts - i think the presses mainly hit the front delts. If I get to Terry Fox maybe the rows.

Saturday's Friday workout:
Squats: 5x3@265# - moved the weight up this week
Dead lifts: 5x1@275#, thought about doing 285 but when I tried a warmup at 275 I knew I couldn't do 5 at 285 so I did 4 more at 275.

accessory:
shrugs 10x1@180# then 10x3@200# (plus bar), I used the hex trap bar, not sure how much that weighs.

Monday Workout:
Bench Press: 5x5@300# got all but the last rep this week but my rest periods sometimes stretched a little long - up to 7 minutes for at least one and then before my final set my rest was a little short.
Squats: 5x3@265 felt pretty hard but I did them just Saturday.

Accessories: none, no time tonight

Wednesday workout :
1-Overhead Presses:
5x2@160# then failed on rep 10 so took off 10# and did 5x1@150, tried the new method of hip snapping but didn't like it much - too much lumbar extension stress if I fail on a rep.
2-Power Cleans
?X?@? I sucked at these tonight, tried 155# and couldn't get it to my shoulders, found out I was essentially doing a reverse curl with the lighter weights, gotta relearn this exercise from scratch.
3-Seated dumbbell curls:
5x3@50# got all reps at 50#, barely, but got em
4- lying triceps extensions:
5x3@125# assuming the ez bar was 15# thats 10# less than last week because I forgot what I had done and then when I realized it was too little I just continued as I was running low on time.

no accessories - no time.

Friday workout:
Squats: 5x3@270# - moved the weight up this week 5#
Dead lifts: 5x1@285#, moved the weight up this week 10#

accessory: none- no more time, go to the gym late

so progress on two lifts, not bad for the week but got no accessories done this week.

Monday:
Bench press :
135#X20x1 (one set of 20 reps at 135 pounds)
185#x8x1
225#x5x1
275#x1-2x1
300#x5x4, 4x1 just missed on my 25th rep DAMN IT!!! used a different bar this week, may have been slightly heavier that others and fatter, and the bench was flatter - the bench at the other gym I go to has a slight decline - but I thought I was going to get them all since I had lots of sleep and loads of good food on the weekend.
skipped on the squats tonight as we wanted to get home before the worst of the storm ( Sandy ) hits and we get a power out. May try tomorrow night.

Monday Workout continued (on Tuesday):
Squats: 5x3@270 felt pretty hard but I got em.
Started doing power cleans but after my warmups and one set I left as I wasn't doing them well and the people I was with wanted to leave. Will try again next time.
