Rep squat day 6-16-14


Squat:

400 x 6 (PR)
420 x 4 (PR, with a rep left in the tank)

Reverse band squat/using light bands:

445 - 2 x 2

Pause squat (pausing 2-3 seconds in the hole):

280 x 8
300 x 5

High rep squat:

280 x 20

Lunges:

2 x 20yds

Core work:

150 reps



Today was good all around, my training partner had to squat last night due to his schedule. Watched him nail 2 lifetime PR's so I used that as motivation for myself today. Left rib cage is a bit tender due to the belt rubbing hardcore as I was ratcheting it up for squats, nothing major probably be tender for a couple days though!


Vids are 400 x 6 and 420 x 4

Explosive bench day!!


Bench @65%:

240 - 6 x 2


One board pause bench:

230 - 3 x 3


Incline dumbbell press:

85's - 3 x 20


Tricep pressdowns:

4 x 25

T-bar rows:

4 x 12

Incline band flyes:

50 reps (rest paused)

Core work:

150 reps



Cardio for the day!!!!

10 minute circuit consisting of:

10 sledge hammer strikes to a tire
60yd sprint
5 depth jumps



Felt great today, working on my bench setup and staying tighter throughout the entire lift has made a noticeable difference. My order from elitefts came in yesterday I took advantage of their 45% off wraps deal and got 3 pairs  of knee wraps and a pair of their best wrist wraps for 68 bucks. I now have a total of 4 pairs of knee wraps ranging from intermediate to the higher levels of advanced, so basically I can graduate my way up over the months and years and have a variety for the sets when I need casting and or rebound.

Heavy deadlift day tomorrow, don't know how well this will pan out with my left rib cage still tender however I plan on getting through the day even if I have to go lighter on the weights!!!!

Heavy Deadlift day!


Deadlift @85%

455 x 2
455 x 4 (rep PR!!!)


2" block pull:

385 x 3


1" deficit pull:

275 x 15 (left 6-8 reps in the tank)

Today was a very solid day given my rib cage tweak, Had to wear my belt super low to avoid discomfort which felt very odd! today was suppose to be 3 sets of 2 @85% however I psyched myself out of set number two which pissed me off so I manned up and came back and nailed 455 x 4 which is a rep PR, unfortunately didn't get a video =(.


Heavy squats Monday!!!!

Got a video of myself box jumping after a crossfit session Friday, box is approx 34-36" would have went 40"+ for kicks however the ceiling in the gym is literally a fuzz over 8' and I was afraid of damaging the ceiling or the ceiling messing my landing up and risking injury. Not horrible for the first time legit box jumping in 5 years!

Speed Squat day!

Squat @65%

320 - 6 x 2


Pause squat (CAT style)

230 - 3 x 3


Band Good Mornings:

3 x 20


Lunges:

2 x 20yds


Core work:

150 reps


Cardio for the day:

Backward sled drags

6 x 60yds


Nothing spectacular today, sat down last night and mapped out a template that will allow myself the opportunity to better balance life starting this fall as I'm returning to college to finish out a degree in nursing. This new template combines ideas from my current cycle with Brian Carroll's 10/20/life and will shorten my days training in my home gym from 4 days to 3 days with a 4th day taking place in the gym at work on my lunch break. I need this extra time to spend with my son as well as maintaining a decent GPA, and this new template will allow myself to keep getting stronger as well as continue competing in the sport I love.

This new template will start sometime in August, the first day will consist of a squat/deadlift day one lift will be heavy while the opposite will be speed and that alternates each week. The second day will be a bench day that will cycle exactly as my current training, and the third day will be a squat/deadlift accessory day utilizing 7-8 movements used to build a stronger squat and deadlift. And since I will be attending campus Mondays and Wednesdays from 1pm-3pm as soon as I get out I can hit the gym at work before I clock in at 5pm these two days will be used for a military press/bench assistance day and a weak point attack day. overall very excited to be getting back into school and working towards a decent career!!!!


Heavy bench tomorrow!!!

Crossfit workout from today!


5 rounds consisting of:

20 power cleans
20 box jumps
20 hanging knee raises
Homemade strongman stone carry x 60yds

Not a whole lot here but factor in some nice summer humidity and I worked a pretty good sweat up!

Rep deadlift day!


1" deficit deadlift:

385 x 6


2" block pull:

425 x 6


Band pull aparts:


4 x 25


Core work:


200 reps



Kept today short and sweet because of the strongman cardio I had planned!


Farmers carries:

8 x 60yds


Stone carries:

8 x 60yds


Goal was minimal rest periods and get it done as quickly as possible!!!!



Overall not a bad week of training, I definitely had a set of 10 with 425 but on the 6th rep the middle part of my back started feeling uncomfortable so I shut it down at 6 reps.


Rep squat Monday!!!!!

Just a quick update on my training, within a 5 day span I pulled 500 for 3 with ease then today absolutely demolished a 500lb squat. All my strength levels are feeling great and I have remained injury free!

Tomorrow is Rep bench day!
