Training 5/29/15

Snatch-grip deadlift - 3x5 - 245, 3x3 - 275

A. Chest-supported DB row - 4x10 - 50s

Solid 80% session. Nothing great, nothing bad.

Blast strap inverted row - 2 mins b/w sets - 16, 12, 12

What an utter "meh" session.

Birthday Testing Session & Other Training

Did a training session on my birthday to see where I was at with some things. Overall, I was pretty happy with the performance.

BW - 197
Pullups - 15
Close grip - 300x1 (PR! Although my butt came off the bench slightly for a split second. I'm still counting it)
Close grip - 200x16
Feet-elevated inverted row - 25 in one minute
Pushups - 35 in one minute
Squat - worked up to 295 and shut it down. Quad/hip flexor just didn't feel good. Probably could have pushed up like 335, but I wasn't going to PR, so I didn't feel like pushing it harder than that.
Trap bar - 420x1
Squat - 200x32

Then yesterday (5/21/15) I did

A. Snatch-grip RDL - 2x5@185, 2x5 @205

B. Hanging leg raises - 3x10

A. Feet-elevated pushups - 3x10

B. Blast-strap inverted rows - 3x10

Just wanted to get some work in.

Training 5/6/15

A. Weighted chinups - 3x5 - +40 lbs
B. Front squat grip reverse lunges - 3x6/leg - 95
A. Power jerk - worked up to 205x5
B. Back extensions - 3x20

Didn't feel like training, so kept it lighter. Haven't jerked for reps (insert joke here) in ages. By the last few reps, it was getting a bit ugly.

Training 5/1/15

Rack deadlift from knees - 8x3 - 405 all sets
Dips - 2 mins b/w sets - +40 lbs - 20, 10, 10
A. Yates rows - 4x12 - 155
B. Hanging leg raises - 3x10

Utter dogshit. Need sleep and to decrease non-training-induced stress. Then I can probably start to make progress.

Current Training

I finished putting together a document outlining my current training and ways that you can manipulate it to meet various goals. If for any reason someone actually reads this blog, I'd love feedback on this.

Current Training

Training 4/27/15

BW: 199

Front squat - 8x3 - 225 all sets
Inverted rows, feet on floor - 2 mins b/w sets - +20 lbs - 22, 15, 13
A. Standing DB military - 4x12 - 60s x2, 55s x2
B. Ab wheel - 3x10

Was hoping to go heavier on front squat, but my hip flexor still feels like shit, so stayed lighter. Probably for the better, as I'm on the tail end of whatever malady I have right now (guessing upper respiratory infection since that's what my son has). Sleep has been hard to come by lately, so definitely need to get to bed earlier.
