A friend asked me to register here, so voila! This was my workout this morning. I hate DE days and I will always complain about them.

DE Sq/DL Day

Speed Deadlifts
8 sets of 1 with 275
3 sets of 1 with 315

Suspended Squats
6 sets of 3 with 405

Pull Throughs
4 sets of 6 with 200

Hamstring Curls
2 sets of 12 with 180

T-Bar Rows
5 sets of 5 with 6 plates

Speed on the deads was excellent.

Great to see that you made it over SF!

Yeah, I always hated DE days too when I was training on Westside. Volume is looking good though man. What about those pics that you promised a while back?

Suspended Squats
6 sets of 3 with 405

I have a question about these though. Are these from parallel. Suspended I am assuming that you're doing them from the bottom position. But 405 seems awfully heavy to be coming out of the hole with.

Saturday Fever · 04-08-2004, 09:57 AM

The bar is hanging low enough that if I used a box, it would be about 12" which is a bit below parallel for me. 405 out of the hole isn't so devastating when I can fully squat 115 pounds heavier.

M.J.H. · 04-08-2004, 09:59 AM

Sh*t, I completely forgot that you can squat 520.

I always think we have similar squat numbers, nevermind. Insane squat man, especially at your height, nice work!

atherjen · 04-08-2004, 11:39 AM

hmmmm

do I know you!!? I think so!! those weights and style training ring bells!

Welcome!!
glad to see you started a journal! always look forward to reading it!

You look awfully familiar yourself.

ncgirl21 · 04-08-2004, 11:46 AM

Hey! Just wanted to stop in and say hello and Good Luck!!

Saturday Fever · 04-08-2004, 02:27 PM

I'm at work so this is the only picture I could get for now, and it's jusy my ugly mug. It's not so good quality cause it's a webcam. I'll try to get a digicam shot this evening that has some body in it.

atherjen · 04-08-2004, 02:29 PM

you need to SMILE!!

(and no negative talking... no calling urself ugly)

Saturday Fever · 04-08-2004, 02:31 PM

Well I can't go calling myself "Mr. America" now can I?

Saturday Fever · 04-09-2004, 09:31 AM

ME Bench Day

One little, two little, three little PR's...

Decline Bench
45x5
135x5
185x3
205x3
225x1
255x1
275x1

Decline Bench (2 Boards)
315x1
335x0

Decline Bench (3 Boards)
335x1
355x1

Decline Bench (5 Boards)
405x1
415x1

Incline DB Press
70x28
70x19
70x12
70x5

On the Incline I was going to do as man sets as it took to reach 100 reps total. But when I only got 5 on the last set I killed that idea. I feel like I rule, though.

atherjen · 04-09-2004, 09:48 AM

Way to go on the new PR's!!

killer lifts!
I really need to learn more about this westside training!

Saturday Fever · 04-09-2004, 12:13 PM

The routine itself is very simple. What confuses newcomers is the freedom and variety the routine gives.

You should move to California and be my workout partner.

ncgirl21 · 04-09-2004, 12:16 PM

Awesome lifts Mr. America

!!!

atherjen · 04-09-2004, 12:37 PM

(laughing at Andrea!

)

well it sure is hard to learn!! it seems anyways! (pssttt can I call you anything aside from S.Fever?)

Cali would rock, a lot warmer than the maritimes!

Saturday Fever · 04-09-2004, 12:40 PM

My name is Adam, you can call me that if you'd like.

Let me find the URL I used to learn Westside and I'll post it for you.

Excellent article by Dave Tate of Westside Barbell on how the routine works. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

M.J.H. · 04-09-2004, 05:06 PM

Awesome workout SF. Impressive weights, like always. I can't even imagine unracking 415 on the bench, even if it was for a 5-board press. What kind of ROM would you estimate the 5-board press is? 4-5 inches? Also, the 70's for 28 on incline DB presses is just insane.

Saturday Fever · 04-09-2004, 06:26 PM

I have long arms and I use a close grip, so on 5 boards my ROM is probably 8-10"

And anytime Jen.

Saturday Fever · 04-10-2004, 01:14 AM
