Post Edited: 12.01.2013 @ 19:57 PM by deathlifts January 12th, 2013Bench strength is coming back. Hit 415 today easily, after missing 410 last week. I felt strong and went for it. Bench Press - Slanger Bar x 10 135 x 5 225 x 3 315 x 1 365 x 1 415 x 1 315 x 10 315 x 5 315 x 5 - Close Grip A few dips, front plate raises, fat grip overhead presses, AND I managed to roll out of the leg press machine myself busting anything important. Yes that is a watermelon under my belt. Thanks for asking. | |||

| January 10th, 2013 4th day back on low carbs. I was hungry as heck during the session. Weight is coming back down, strength is moving up. Injury is healed. Stars are aligning. This was a monster squat for me. 4 months ago I hit a 585 buffalo bar single but it was a grinder. My straight bat squat is usually 40-50 pounds higher than my buffalo bar squat for whatever reason. Today's 585 was easy and fast. My CNS was humming and I never felt shaky at all. I didn't even need to hit rage mode to get this. I think my raw squat is 640-650 right now. For the record, I added the Anderson Powerlifting 2K wraps. They were great. My spud belt stinks for squats. Just can't get it tight enough. Need a real belt. Squats - Buffalo Bar 145 x 5 235 x 3 325 x 1 415 x 1 465 x 1 465 + 60lbs Chains x 1 465 + 120lbs Chains x 1 Chain setup is not optimal right now. Only deloads about 40 pounds in the hole. | |||

| January 8th, 2013 Just manhandled deadlifts today. First time in 4 months. I can officially say my lower back is 100%. I could have repped my max set for 2-3 more reps if I wanted took. Stayed on the side of caution. Deadlifts - Low Rack Pulls @ 4" 135 x 3 225 x 1 315 x 1 405 x 1 495 x 1 585 x 1 585 + 60lbs Chains x 1 585 + 120lbs Chains x 4 Need to adjust chains yet. Top end weight was probably 650-660ish because some chain was left on the ground. Either case this was strong. | |||

| January 7th, 2013 Ok session. My shoulders were a bit fatigued from the recent kettlebell snatches. Still moved some ok iron. I am training more frequently. Start to rev things up. Tomorrow will be squats and deads.

| January 1st, 2013 Here we are. Another year. I count every one as a blessing, and will do my best to make it a productive 365 days. My only goal today was to hit a 505 squat single. I need to build up my conditioning on squats and deads. Deads feel manageable right now but squats feel really heavy. I plan on microloading them very slowly this year and not rushing things. Squats 145 x 5 235 x 3 325 x 1 415 x 1 465 x 1 505 x 1 Deadlifts 135 x 5 225 x 1 315 x 1 405 x 1 495 x 5 Leg Curls 45 x 10 45 x 10 Plate Side Bends 45 x 10 45 x 10 | |||

| April 10th, 2012 Workout Time: 75 minutes ?? Workout Grade: A 2 big PRs today. Low rack deadlift of 700, which is +15. Bench press 430 x 2, which is +10. Kept it easy on squats to make sure the hammie is healed and ready for the meet. Body is feeling good. Hitting PRs week in and week out. I don't know what I'll hit at Nationals, but I am confident that I am peaking and in a groove. Muscle Marinade pre-workout is amazing. Focus, focus, energy, focus, energy and focus.

| April 5th, 2012 Workout Time: 45 minutes Workout Grade: A- Right glute was off today. Wanted to go charlie horse on me during warmups. It's slightly tender right now, but no big deal. Could have hit 525 for a few more reps but didn't want to push the glute or my hammies. Stayed safe, got a PR. Close grip benches were crazy light. Easy 3 reps and a big PR. Haven't performed them in about 3-4 weeks so I didn't know what to expect. 315 rep felt like a speed rep. Crazy. Squats - Raw 145 x 5 235 x 3 325 x 1 415 x 1 465 x 1 525 x 2 - PR Close Grip Bench Press - Sling Shot Bar x 10 135 x 10 225 x 3 315 x 1 365 x 1 405 x 3 - PR | |||
