Training Log: Entry 1501

Ran a 5k for PT, then tried to bench.  Just had nothing left.  As of this point, I am switching everything to ROM progression.  5/3/1 taught me some valuable lessons, and I will still be stealing ideas for the assistance work from it, but as far as the primary lifts, I think I have a better way.  Will deload next week while hammering the assistance work, and then full steam ahead.

(14) Chain Suspended Squats 545
1x8

Notes: Great effort today.  I actually noticed how the music around me got quieter while I was squatting and picked by up once the set was done.

Did some assistance work, but it was light.  My wrists are blown up from cleans.

Press
5x200
3x225
0x250

Notes: Can't even get the weight to move off my chest.  It's stapled.  Time to take my own advice.  This isn't working, so I'm moving on to something else.  Going to be doing some ROM progression with presses, suspended the bar in chains in the rack.  Most likely will have to do them seated, as my rack is too short for standing presses in this fashion.  Think I'm going to start with 225 and roll from there.

Chins
200 total

Fat gripz DB rows 110
5x10

Axel incline presses 175

EVENTS

Farmer's Walk: 180 per hand

Notes: Wrist was not having this.  May need to really toubleshoot this.  Can't let a sprain limit my ability to compete.

Sled drags 295 for 20 meters up incline
5 trips

Notes: Really getting a good feel for this.  Pulling in chucks works a lot better than running shoes.


GHR sit ups
50 reps

Non training log post, photos to brag about new gym



Training Log: Entry 1496

(2) Mat Pulls 565
1x11

Notes: Took 2 rest pauses to get there, but I wasn't happy with anything less than 11.  Hit 365 with fat gripz in my warmup, and consequently everything afterwards flew off the floor.

Axel cleans
3x175
3x185
3x195
2x200
3x200
3x205
1x210
1x210

Notes: Getting a handle on the technique.  I have to remind myself before each clean that it's not a deadlift.  My feet are wider and I lean forward rather than backwards at the start.  Coming together as one fluid motion rather than two distinct pulls, and I feel like I'm getting faster.

SSB Squats 245+chins
7x3
1x10

Notes: Did these in a circuit with the cleans, GHRs and reverse hypers

GHR
7x5

Reverse hyper 70
7x10

Notes: Got a brand new rogue reverse hyper.  It's my baby.  I'll get some photos up in a bit.
