Workouts will be as follows, 3 days per week alternating workout A and B.
Workout A: Squat, Bench, weighted dips.

Curlz (EZ bar and Alt DB) every other workout.
At least 2 short conditioning workouts every week, one after deadlift workout, one longer stand alone conditioning workout on weekends.
Diet will be rich in fruit, veg, whole foods, high quality protein etc.
Wed 20th October 2010 – workout B
Squat
112.5 x5 x3 (work sets)
1st work set was tough. I decided to tone down the ‘aggression’ and keep composed through the other work sets – really concentrated on breathing and hitting depth with knees out. Felt much better.
Bench
57.5 x5 x3 (work sets)
No real problems, slowing down on last set, may need to microload soon.
Powerclean
45x3 x5 (work sets)
Weight felt fine but a bit all over the place really. Need to at the very least start studying form videos for the powerclean and take it from there.
Chins
bw x3, bw x2.5, bw x1
POOR!
