GOD IS A BEAST WORKOUT 24 (FINAL OF FIRST CYCLE)

AM WORKOUT

Axle deadlifts
5x136
5x226
1x276 (all double overhand no straps)
10x5x421

Standing ab wheel
4x8

Dips
10x20

Band pull aparts
1x50

Notes: Felt awful this workout.  The state of Montana has been on fire for like 3 weeks now, and the smoke was really bad this morning.  Felt like I was going to puke for most of this, and since my squat workout I haven't been able to bend over enough to tie my shoes, so reaching the axle seemed impossible.  Managed the first 5 sets deadstop, then after that switched to touch and go.  Still supersetting stuff.

Woke up at 195.6.  Cheatmeal yesterday was some Taco Bell.  Crunchwrap supreme, cheesy gordiata crunch and most of a nachos bell grande.

5x9

Axle z press

GB lat pulldown 110

Notes: Most I have benched in a LONG while, and to hit it after so much effort before is pretty awesome.  Really pleased with how this program turned out.  Z presses were a nice change.  Been wanting to use them for a while; think I might try to keep them in rotation.

Woke up at 193.6 this morning.

NG chins

(1) DB incline press 50s
43+7

Axle rows 136
25+25 w/straps

Notes: That topset press was a pleasant surprise.  I had wondered if I was really growing any stronger with the weight loss, but that was a solid effort, especially after so much work beforehand.  Did supersets of everything else leading up to it.  DB press was almost 50 in one go; something to continue to strive for.  Axle rows were 25 without straps then 25 more.

Woke up at 195.0.

400m sprints

1:14
1:30
1:48
1:52

Notes: Rested a minute between sprints.  Added up, it's a 6:24 mile.  My track is slightly longer than 400m, but good enough for this.  I liked how this felt for a quick conditioning workout.  I need to get back to events sometime, but I'm just enjoying my off season for now.

Woke up at 194.4.  Been having some bad GI issues the past day, but it seems to finally be on the mend.

Notes: Didn't sleep much last night; dog has worms and was up and down all night.  That final set was just right for effort.  Everything was supersets, and that set of 20 for squats was super slow and controlled, mainly because I was exhausted by the time I got there.

Woke up at 195.2.  Had my cheat meal yesterday of a 2/3lb burger with bacon and sausage, no bun.

GOD IS A BEAST WORKOUT 19

PM WORKOUT

Axle bench presss
5xAxle
5x66
5x136
5x226
10x5x261

GHR
5x10

GB pulldowns 110
5x10

DB lateral raise 20
5x10

Kroc rows 105
1x21

Axle curls
1x100

Notes: Still getting into the post vacation swing of things.  Should hopefully be the last PM workout for a bit.  Hit the GHRs between bench warm-ups, and then the bench worksets were a circuit alternating between pulldowns and lateral raises.  Once again, had to start taking small rests around the 5 set mark, but nothing too significant.  Very solid pump.

Woke up at 193.2.  Getting decently lean.
