John Petrizzo's Training Log

[John Petrizzo]

Those squats were DEEP. Your knees never flexed and that lockout was STRONG on the presses. Those deadlift were SMOOTH as butter. Very nice training session, doc. Looks like you're back, my man.

Thanks, Cody. Physically I feel much better training only twice per week. I have been making steady progress since adopting that schedule back in October.

Hey Dr. P. Can't wait for your meet write-up and (hopefully) videos. It was good to see you and inspiring to watch all 9 of your picture-perfect lifts.

[John Petrizzo]

It has been a long time since I have logged my training. I am starting back up in the hopes of regularly updating this log once per week. After discontinuing my log here, I resumed logging in the competitive lifter's forum, but haven't logged over there in about a year or so either.

John Petrizzo's Training Log

I am going to pick back up with this log since I haven't competed since August of 2019 and don't have any immediate plans to do so. In October, my wife and I had son, and since that time I have been running a pretty abbreviated training program based off of an old program that Andy gave me years back. You can read more about it below:

BSC Client John Petrizzo - Case Study, Part I - Andy Baker

I basically am training twice per week just working up to a single top set in all of the lifts and doing two additional conditioning/assistance days. The goal is to get in and out of the gym in 45-60 minutes on my lifting days and under 30 minutes on my conditioning days. So far, it is going better than I anticipated, so I thought if I started logging my sessions again, maybe it would help some people who also are short on time for training.

Congratulations on the new baby.
Your program sure looks like a Dr.Ken High Intensity workout.
