Nothing to complain about with this workout. I lifted competition style for the compensatory bench press. Before I was lifting "touch and go" style. Things slowed down a little bit, but I certainly pushed with sufficient speed. Everything else went really well. I made some good increases in reps/weight on accessory stuff. I enjoyed the arnold presses. On the very last rep, my left arm almost didn't make it.

Meal1
4 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 cup flax cereal, 1 cup 2% milk, multivitamin/mineral, vitamin C

Meal2 - PWO
2 scoops whey protein, 1 cup oats

Meal3
2 scoops milk protein, 2 TBSP PB, 2 slices WW bread, cucumber

Meal4
trioplex bar

Meal5
can tuna, 2oz chicken breast, 2 TBSP safflower mayo, 1 1/2 slices WW pita, celery, lettuce

Meal6
tin sardines, 3oz chicken breast, 6oz pearled barley, 20G olive oil dressing & golden flax seed, lettuce tomato

Snack
1 scoop whey protein, 1 cup 2% milk

Meal7
1 cup 2% cottage cheese, 2 TBSP PB

Good shit. Just as another idea to throw around. When I do speed work on the bench, my rest interval is 30sec. (don't know what you use), but I vary my grip during each set.....wide, real wide, normal, close, etc.....just some food for thought.

Isn't that weird how you can learn so much about one thing if you are truely interested in it but if your just going through the motion its in one ear and out the other. And when you have a passion for something I think it makes it that much easier for you to learn more and really expand your mind on certaint hings. I am looking forward to the classes but from people I know that took the courses already they say that the classes are pretty hard. Should prove to be another good challenge for me lol.

Nice workout man...weights are growin! Keep it up like this your gonna be getting PR's every week lol.

I use a 45 second rest interval. I used 60 seconds when I first started, but I have found that unecessary. Next time, I will definitely try alternating my grip throughout the sets. Such a simple tweak could make a significant difference. I appreciate the advice.

DeadBolt
It's always good to be taking at least one or two really challenging courses. The sense of accomplishment one feels when making through a class like that is great. Don't just exercise the body; exercise the mind.

No problem. Just remember, that is the template I am using. The basic Westside template is a little different. For more information, check out:

www.elitefts.com

This is where I got most of my Westside information, excluding journals on these forums.

I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I have been. I really like this routine.

I didn't workout yesterday. I felt like I needed an extra hour or so of sleep more than I needed the cardio. Anyway, here's what I ate yesterday:

Meal1
4 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 cup flax cereal, 1 cup 2% milk, multivitamin/mineral, vitamin C

Meal2
2 scoops whey protein, 1 cup oats

Meal3
trioplex bar

Meal4
can tuna, 2oz chicken breast, 2 TBSP safflower mayo, 1 1/2 slices WW pita, celery, lettuce

Meal5
tin sardines, 3oz chicken breast, 6oz pearled barley, 20G olive oil dressing & golden flax seed, lettuce tomato

Meal6
2 scoops milk protein, 2 TBSP PB, 2 slices WW bread, cucumber

Meal7
1 cup 2% cottage cheese, 2 TBSP PB


I'm excited. Shortly I'm going to max out on squatting. I anticipate some gains. I have been studying the form intently. Granted, they felt really good before, but there is always room for improvement. I think the key is for me to make sure that once I have completed the eccentric part of the motion, my first action is to drive my head into my traps and ensure my hips don't come up too fast. I will attempt both 265 and 275. No, scratch that; I will hit both 265 and 275.

Squat/Deadlift ME:

Squat
135 x 3
155 x 3
175 x 3
195 x 3
215 x 1
235 x 1
265 x 1
275 x Miss
275 x 1

Good Mornings
175 x 8
175 x 8
175 x 8

Decline Situps
65 x 9
65 x 9
65 x 9

SLDLs
245 x 7
245 x 7
245 x 7

Single Leg DB Calf Raise - Triple Dropset
100 x 12
80 x 10
60 x 11

Another good workout today; PRs always make it a good workout. I tried to do the negative a little too fast on my first attempt at 275. I kind of lost balance and practically fell over; I was forced to sit down and dump the weight back. I was pissed, but I made up for it by successfully hitting the weight. I just barely eeked it out though. I almost started to get pinned, but I just told myself, "You are getting this fucking weight up if it kills you." Somehow it worked. My lower back is still my weak point, definitely. Once I pushed my head back into my traps, my hips came forward really easy.

All my accessory work looked good. I was able to do more weight and/or reps on everything. I started running short on time, so I turned my calf raises into a triple dropset.

Meal1
4 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 cup flax cereal, 1 cup 2% milk, multivitamin/mineral, vitamin C

Meal2 - PWO
2 scoops whey protein, 1 cup oats

Meal3
2 scoops milk protein, 2 TBSP PB, 2 slices WW bread, cucumber

Meal4
trioplex bar

Meal5
can tuna, 2oz chicken breast, 2 TBSP safflower mayo, 1 1/2 slices WW pita, celery, lettuce

Meal6
tin sardines, 3oz chicken breast, 6oz pearled barley, 20G olive oil dressing & golden flax seed, lettuce tomato

Meal7
1 cup 2% cottage cheese, 2 TBSP PB

Alrighty, it is sleep time for me. I have to wake up early for class tomorrow. Goodnight all.

Damn man KILLER squats...congrats on the new record!!!! Your numbers are just going throught the roof. I always hate not getting that one lift you know you can always get! I had to bail out on squats one day...I think it was only like 245 but I had to hit it so tried it again and blew my record out of the water I was so pumped...just one of things that needs to be done lol. Now I wish my bench could happen like that!

Thanks man. Yeah, those lifts that get stuck when you know you have it in you are so annoying. All the more motivation to blast through it on the second attempt.

P-Funk
I found a video of him on www.irongame.com; wow, divebomb squat is right. He must have some killer quads and such to stabilize such a sudden drop. The impulse as a result of such a fast drop has to be hard on your body though.

well, he is super explosive since he is an olympic lifter. so dropping with that much speed is nothing new to him.

I see. I bet that causes quite the stretch reflex too.

Oh yeah, by the way, I didn't post yesterday's journal. Let me just suffice to say it was basically my standard 7 meals with a snack thrown in.

Even women are participating in Cows Tits of Steel Program.... Whoops, I mean breasts of steel.

This is becoming far more popular than Gopro's P/RR/S
