Might confuse some people.

Krauthammer's back truly is fucked up.

[Bryan Dobson]

Krauthammer doesn't squat.

[Clay Simczyk]

Squats: 270x5, 310x5, 350x5
* I'm still on a 531 template for squats, except I'm doing some type of squat every workout.

Bench: 5 singles at 225, 235x1 PBR
* I finally benched more than my weight. It only took 42 years.

Accessory Work: High Pulls and Weighted Chins (+10# singles)

[Bryan Dobson]

Congrats on the bench record. I am in the same boat.

[Clay Simczyk]

Thanks Bryan, I see from the lifter rankings you're in the 1100 camp. I want to get my total over 1000 by the end of the year. That should be reachable.

[Clay Simczyk]

Press: 145x5x5

Paused Squat: 225x5, 270x5, 290x5
* Since I don't think I need volume squats, I'm taking some tips from Andy Baker's article on the Heavy/Light/Medium method and mixing up the squat routine.


Accessory Work:

Bench: 135x10, 145x10, 155x10
* Adding overall volume to the week. These were also flat backed.

Deficit Deadlift: 325x6
* I really think the combination of deficits and dumbbell rows helped by deadlift so I'm alternating weeks and doing heavy deadlifts every other week.

Gator Rows: 117x15

Music: Helloween Radio on Pandora: stuff in the Power Metal and Symphonic Metal range

Congrats on the bench record...

Seconded. Way to go, Clay.

[Clay Simczyk]

Conditioning day with a 20# pack.

[Karl Schudt]

Conditioning day with a 20# pack.

Beautiful. Life is good, isn't it?

[Clay Simczyk]

Bench: 165x5, 165x5, 165x5

Squats: 225x5, 225x5, 225x5
* I tried High Bar today. That's not a very comfortable bar position, but I like mixing up the squat days idea. Some day I may try doing some heavy High Bar work, but for now it works good on a light day.


Accessory Work:

Press: 115x5, 115x5, 115x5

Chins: About 24, mostly sets of 4.

Rows: Warmups

* Today was cut short because of wife / baby stuff.


Packers vs Bears tonight!
