Yeah, I am really liking it as part of my routine, didn't think I would.

Today-

Power Cleans-205x2, 225x2, 245x1, 245x1, 225x1*Missed the 2nd rep
DB Power Snatch-80s 4x2

Med Intensity Pull
Cable Row-180 4x8
Reverse Grip Pulldowns-180 4x8

Assistance-
Pullover-70 2x10
DB Curls-40s 2x10
Rear Delt Raises-30s 2x10

New PR on the Power Clean. The first set I did it, I maybe dropped 2 inches under the bar. I was so afraid I wouldn't get it, I got insane hip acton on the bar and it essentially racked itself. The second set more closely resembled a power clean. I believe my previous best was 230. DB snatch felt really good and quick, I will bump to 90s next week.

Nice job on the cleans, Dale. 245 cleans makes you a bad ass in my books.
How much longer will you be doing your current program?

Thanks. I will do the program til I plateau for 2-3 weeks, then I will change it.

nice clean. no jerk?

LMAO (I thought that was GG's job to get after Dale on them sexual innuendo infracts)

Today-

Plyos
Jump from box-4x4
Multi-response hurdle hops (1-leg)-4x5

High Intensity Legs
Squats-315 2x4, 325 2x4
Step-ups-65 4x4

Assistance
Reverse Hypers-80 2x10
GHR-BW 2x10
Over/Under(Med Ball)-6lbs 2x30 seconds each direction
Front Toss(Med Ball)-6lbs 2x6

So, forgot about the ladder stuff, oh well, I will do it tomorrow maybe. Today, 315 felt real easy so I bumped squats up to 325 which was about right.

The last 2 exercises described-

Over/Under-Sit as if you were about to do Russian Twist, lean back with feet off the ground, knees slightly bent. Go under and over each like in a figure eight.

Front Toss-Trap a medicine ball between the ankles. With the med ball trapped, rapidly flew your hips and knees, flinging the med ball up in front of you. Drop and repeat.

Got some good hip work with both of these, I am adding them since there is no multi-hip.

So Dale, the over/unders were done with a medicine ball?

Good stuff, Dale. How are you performing your Plyo push-ups?

Start with both hands on a ball, drop to the ground into a push-up, explode back up to the ball.

^ Nice.

Thursdays-
Plyos-
1-leg jump to box (30")-4x3
Multi-jump to box(30"/26")-4x4
Lateral Scissor (Ladder)-4 sets
Lateral Shuffle (10yds, cut, back)-2x20 yds each side
Icky Shuffle (Ladder)-2 sets with short cuts, 2 sets with long cuts

So, 1-leg hop to box was so much better, I was getting much more height. Felt like doing more decel work so I did more lateral shuffles and did up and back to include a cut. Also did Icky shuffle, but did it with wider cuts to work on deceleration, I typically just do it for quick feet. First time through I cut wide and hit every square for 2 sets, then I cut wider and hit every other square. Good times.

One thing I have noticed since doing this nutrient timing stuff is that each time I do a specific workout, it gets progressively better. I am sick and I still felt better about this plyo work out than the one last week. I am also drinking less, that combined with the placebo effect could be the reason for my progress.

I am also drinking less

I love how you come on here and lie like that.

If you really cared you would drink 7 days a week.

Must say, I am quite happy with how this program has gone. Lifts go up every week, I was sick as shit all weekend including today, and plyos are going so much better.

Nice squatting and reverse hypers. I wish I had a real machine for GHRs and reverse hypers.

Dale, you lift like that and you're sick, that's sick!

no no, not sick....hung over.

I will neither confirm nor deny whether a hangover is involved, but if I was hung over, I was sick on Friday before I got shitfaced.
