Monday 9/8/14

Deadlift 2x5x135, 3x225, 5x280.5, 3x317.5, 3x355
Ring Dips 10/10/7

Took a week off due to Labor Day. Today, the deads were going up very easily. Don't know yet if its because I had a week off from them, or if the move to Mondays helped. I'll know more in a few weeks.

Tuesday 9/9/14

Bench 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 5x205, 5x236.5, 4x268
Bench 10/10/8/8/7x205

Oops! Those ring dips may have screwed up my bench. That or the deadlifts. Next week I will not do ring dips the day before and try this one again.

Monday 9/15/14

Deadlift 2x5x135, 3x225, 5x246, 5x283.5, 5x321.5
Ring work (back and bi's)

Deadlift went ok today, but the 321.5 was feeling heavy enough that I didn't want to do any extra reps, fearing it might impede recovery for next week. Next week of course will be the true test of the schedule change's efficacy.

Tuesday 9/16/14

Bench 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 3x185, 5x205, 5x236.5, 3/3x268
Bench 10/10/9/7/7x205

Shit. Was supposed to hit 5 at 268. Missed it last week, too. I actually went for the 4th on the first set and failed (which was a little surprising), so I decided on a second set. Also failed pretty well at my back off sets. Last week I had thought the ring dips interfered. Now, I'm wondering if the deads interfered. I may try bench on Monday and deads on Tuesday to see if that helps any.

Friday 9/19/14

Press 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 5x143.5, 5x165.5, 4x187.5
Press 10/10/7x135, 5x125
Ring Dips 6/8/8

I'm surprised by how well the main sets went since its been about two weeks since I pressed last. Actually quite pleased. I'm also surprised at how poorly the other sets went... Didn't even attempt the 5th. Next week I'll start at 125 and see what happens.

Monday 9/22/14

Deadlift 2x5x135, 3x225, 5x283.5, 3x321.5, 1x360
Chins 5x5
Curls 5x45, 3x10x95

This sadly officially marks the most I've ever deadlifted. I have done 355x5, but this is the most weight. Only 1 rep - didn't have the mental stamina for more. I think the schedule change is working. I'll see what happens on bench tomorrow, still might switch the two days.

Tuesday 9/23/14

Bench 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 2x185, 5x205, 5x236.5, 4x268
Bench 5x10x195

I was sooooooooo close to the 5th rep at 268. I'm honestly a bit frustrated that I didn't get it, but I will give it one more week. If a no-go, I'll dial it back a bit. Dropped 10lbs on my BBB sets and got all 50, but the last three were real tough.

[Clay Simczyk]

Take a light day or two and try this week again.

Friday 9/26/14

Press 2x5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 5x143.5, 5x165.5, 5x187.5
Press 5x10x125
Ring Dips 7/7/8

Not bad! I'm pleased with how today went. Did some hangs from my pullup bar in between sets to work on grip.

Monday 10/6/14

Deadlift 2x5x135, 3x225, 5x250, 5x287, 5x325.5
Chins 5x5
Battle Ropes 20s on/20s off 15 intervals

Back after an accidental week off. Deads felt pretty good, aside from my grip, which was limiting. Did DOH for the first two and mixed for the last. Had more in the tank but grip was failing and I didn't want to overdo it coming back.
