Began a "transmutation," or intensified block of training today. I will be using a modified version of Bill Starr's 5x5 for the next 10-12 weeks, designed to peak at the end. We shall see how well it works, but the goal is a higher bench press max, allowing me to start working on reps in the bench, eventually culminating in 225x20 on the bench. Ideally, I will also be leaning out by the time I hit that, so that body weight is sub-225. The neck is still giving me minor issues, and I want to wait until it really feels good to start putting anything significant overhead, so snatch pulls will replace snatches. The program calls for military press on Thursday, so we will have to see how I am feeling on that one.
Snatch pulls - 3x3 @ 135
Squat - worked up to 290x5
Bench - 5x5 @ 215 superset with
Rows - 5x5 @ 170
