So I switched over to the general strength template. Goal is still
weight and strength gain but I'm going to work on having a more
balanced and clean diet more this time around. Macro break down will
be 4:3:3 (P:C:F) I don't have a weight goal set just continuing to
build a solid base to work off of.

Talk about a pump, it felt like my arms and shoulders were going to
explode. It was nice doing a variety of different exercises as opposed
to 5x5.

Workout from last night is still kicking my ass. My lats, shoulders
and arms are still sore. Rolled out on the foam roller and did some
stretching so hopefully that will help for tomorrow's workout.

don't worry you'll get used to the increased volume within a week or
so. you'll probably only get sore like this from the first few
training sessions. have fun on lower day ;-)

Today was brutal, I think I was on the verge of death. Not to mention
my hams and ass were so pumped I wobbled to my car. This microcycle
will be a lot of finding what weights I can use for certain lifts and
reps. Deads can defiantly go up; It was my first time doing good
mornings so they weren't too bad. I forgot to do abs so I'll end up
doing them tomorrow.

Lower day is the worst. Not so much the day after, but after the first
set of split squats I feel like death.

I use to think lunges were going to be the death of me but quickly
realized that I think it's going to be step ups. I tired doing hack
squats for the first time but the bar kept getting stuck on my
hamstrings, so I switch to leg press.

Don't let hack squats get to you, they are the tool of the devil. I
use the machine as well.

I started too light with the weight for good mornings and lungs that's

to these.

My back bothering me from my RE Upper workout so I didn't end up doing
events or lifting heavy Saturday. I just ended up stretching, rolled
everything out, and did some light movements to get some blood
flowing; That helped a lot. I did do some sled workout and that didn't
bother it at all. I woke up this morning and everything seems to be
fine.

Little disappointed about the bench. Last week 245x3 went up very
easy. I was having trouble getting any leg drive tonight too. I also
think I'm going to switch out OHP after i'm done with week 8 for a
different shoulder exercise. I've been doing OHP for my main shoulder
movement for about 5 months now and i haven't been progressing on it
lately, and actually the last couple training sessions it's seem to
have become worse.

I was out of town on an interview so i didn't have access to bands but
I'm happy with the progression that I've been making so far on them.
At first I had a hard time doing BWx8x4 with a red band so it's a
definite improvement.

I should have had 185x3 on OHP but some how I got twisted or something

after a quick fix from Bob my explosiveness defiantly improved. Talk

Today I was lucky enough to be able to train with an elite lifter and
his power lifting group out of Syracuse and got a lot of technique
work improved on my bench. Bench felt good so that's why I ended up
going heavy. It was a little intimidating though being around guys
doing 675 all the way up to 805 for a two board press for singles. I
defiantly see now that being at rit has been the best thing for my
lifts; without a doubt the stronger the people you are around the
stronger you'll get. So thank you guys for not being wimps.

This also marks the end of my first macrocycle. I've liked the program
so far and have made good gains the only thing I'm going to switch is
how I rotate my main movements. Instead of switch every two weeks I'm
going to try every other.

There were like 7 guys there but the only one I can remember and
worked with a lot was Scott Rowe. The train at Hercules Gym. It's a
nice setup with a lot of equipment and a mono lift.

parallel isn't enough. I don't know if any of you guys have some input

the rule is that the crease of your hip has to pass the plane at the
top of the knee. this is going to be slightly below parallel.

from what i have seen, USAPL is generally a little more strict than
other federations when it comes to judging squat depth. a good
practice is to sink your first attempt. if you're high or close on
the first, they're going to be more likely to really scrutinize
subsequent attempts. generally, geared lifters are given more leeway
with the lifts (squat depth can be higher and there is no real pause
on the bench). of course, this will vary from federation to
federation.

yes they do. there is also a westside bench video on youtube that
demonstrates the movement.

this video demonstrates the correct technique as i understand it (and
perform it).

I got stuck with a crappy schedule this quarter so I'm stuck working
out in the morning on Monday and Wednesday. The workout wasn't bad but
the weight felt heavy. I might try waking up earlier to get a solid

some oats.

I'm really surprised how low he needed to get to pass a lift. I'm

it.

I need some help with my box squat. I watched some videos and did some
reading but I'm not doing them correctly. Some thing that I've seen
when someone box squats there shins are way past their heels where
mine are not. I also noticed I've got a little roll too while I'm on
the box; This I have no idea about. Any help would be appreciated.

This is Shawn's specialty but looks like your searching for the box instead of just letting yourself hit it. Keep pushing back until you touch, don't just get down, then "fall" to hit the box, also, keep your hips tight and lower back tight while on the box.

my training schedule worked out so my deload is next week. So I just
plan on coming in hitting my openers and cut all my
volume in half like a normally do for deload then take the following
week completely off. As for openers I planning on using...

Squat:365
Bench: 240
Dead: 380

My squat is conservative because I'm unsure about depth so I just plan
on sinking my opener so I won't get thrown off missing my first lift.

Plan is to just hit some singles Wednesday with squat and dead lift at
about 60% then take the rest of the week off.

Meet Results:

Squat:
1st - 365 pass
2nd - 395 pass
3rd - 415 fail

my squat didn't go as well as planned. There was far too many lifters
and only two squat racks to get warmed up. 365 was heavy and slow, but
395 I got my act together and that felt good. I think my nerves got to
me too..

Bench:
1st - 240 pass
2nd - 260 fail
3rd - 260 pass

my 2nd attempt at bench I wasn't tight and got crushed, but my third
attempt went well.


Deadlift:
1st - 380 pass
2nd - 410 fail
3rd - 420 pass (15lb PR)

410 I got to lock out but was on my toes and fell forward slightly.
After watching a video of the 420 it looked relatively easy and fast
but i'll take a 15lb pr any day.


Total: 1075


Overall it was a really good experience Brian and Tim helped me out a
lot. Which made things run a lot smoother then it would have if I was
by myself. Going to a meet really helps put things in perspective.
There was a 83 year old women there who did a full meet; I can't
remember what she squatted or bench but she pulled 195. So next time
I'm temped not to go train because I'm tired or have a lot of stuff to
do I'll remember that.

Progress wise, I've put 105 pounds on my total since the mini meet so
roughly 5 months. I'm happy with that progression and hope the next 6
months goes the same way.

Great job! I talked to Brian today and he told me you placed second
in your class (out of more than 2 competitors!)

I realized today that I absolutely suck at push pressing. Hopefully
within the next two weeks I'll be able to get the hang of it. Diet
and Training have been going good. I should be able to be in the under
200 class for strong man. Morning weight as of today is 202.

My shoulders were bothering me so switched to ssb. My energy has been
terrible in the morning lately, so I'm really looking forward to my
deload next week.

I'm feeling more beat up than usually this week and my shoulder has
been bothering me. So I didn't do any ME work and just plan on doing
some rep work for this week. DB Bench felt fine shoulder wise if I
restricted the movement slightly.

I like doing DB Floor press when and if my shoulder is bothering me
and I need to restrict my range of motion.

I felt like I was going to explode after this. 60sec rest periods
weren't as bad as I expected. Diet is going good I was 202 tonight so
I've lost about 13 pounds so far. I'm going to add in 2-3x30min SS
cardio sessions a week on off days. I also switched my days to get use
to how I will be training this summer:

T: RE Lower
W: off

Now that I'm done with classes it's time to get back into the swing of

calories were really low. So I'm going to eat above maintenance for a
week to get things moving again.

I'm going to try something different for a couple weeks with arms and

set reads like this....

then stretch

For my bicep movement I'm going to try and keep the range in between
12-20. For tris its going to be 15-30.

Didn't realize the gym closes at 9 so had to cut the workout short. I
had a hard time getting stable on squats. I haven't squatted in 4
weeks and it didn't feel like my regular motion. I'm not sure if this
is because of the weight loss or just a bad day. We'll see how the
next squat day turns out go from there.
