ya know, most the guys I know have a problem with the calf area.. but I gotta tell ya, your back squats are pretty impressive!
Don't ignore the calf workout, even if you don't like it, it's gotta be done! |

i havn't posted lately because I unfortunately contracted pneumonia....and have been down for going on 2 weeks here....this sucks, I never get sick, and so far, I've been sick twice in the past 6 months. Hopefully I'll be able to shake this by Wednesday and get back at it...right now I've just been resting and trying to get over it. I'll update in here once I'm back on my feet.

Back from the dead.....a complete 2 week layoff due to pneumonia...not happy about it. Eitherway, I have to ease back into it a little so I don't fuck up my body's recovery. Still on prescription Anti-biotics and a prescription inhaler for my lungs, so training #'s are gonna be shitty light. Got weighed at the Doc's office.....220.
anyhow.... Light Push Back squat - 205 - 2x12 - pause at the bottom incline bench - 155 - 2x12 DB L - Laterals - 25's 2x12 Rope Pressdowns - ?? - 2x12 pec deck (for shits and giggles) - ??? - 1x12 Thats' it.......Might switch up the program a little, and do a conjugate Push/Pull.....whatever. |

Pull - Heavy
Deads - worked up to 315x5x3
Pull-ups - BW(220ish) 5x5 (pull until my shoulders/chest touch handles, drop to a dead hang, no swing) Pendlay Rows - 165x5x6 (bar is dead on the floor between each rep, no bounce) RI - 3min. Notes: Everything seemed pretty easy, still easing back into things. The Pull ups are with a neutral grip, about 15" apart. When it comes to heavy pulling (like chins), I like a neutral grip because it's easier on the elbows and shoulders. I switched the DB rows for Pendlay Rows.....no particular reason, just felt like getting done sooner. |

Pull Heavy
Rack Pulls - Bar is set 3-4" below knee
135x5 185x5 225x3 275x3 315x3 315x3 315x3 - on the last rep my form slipped a little and I pulled my lowerback on the left side a tad. I always keep my weight on my heels, but on the last rep, the weights were moving easy, and I guess I got eager, didn't set up correctly and my weight shifted forward on my toes more. I iced it down last night, and it doesn't hurt much today, so it's not biggie. close neutral grip pull ups - BW - 3x5 rope rows (had to swap out the bent overs because of my back) - 135 - 3x15 Im a little pissed at myself for the fuck up. I probably should reevaluate how I've organized this push pull thing.....monday I did some heavier (for me) triples on back squats, then wednesday I'm doing heavier (again, for me) rack pulls.....maybe a little too much load on my lower back...who knows... So.......I'm torn between either going back to a conjugate program aimed at powerlifting (similar to westside, but my gym lacks a lot of the equipment).....or doing a push/pull/legs bodybuilding split for a few weeks (4-6) to get some hypertrophy and give the heavy stuff a short break. If anyone gets bored and reads this journal, feel free to share your thoughts, I'm always open to suggestions. |

Past Training
Havn't posted training in a while, but i have been training. After yanking something in my back, and having some rotator cuff pain, I decided to drop this conjugate stuff for a few weeks, and do an old fashion linear periodization for 8 weeks......I'm into week 3 right now. Kinda ripped this one from Ed Coan's book. basically, I take percentages of the big 3 and start with lighter intesity, higher volume and work towards higher intestity, lower volume over the weeks.
weeks - sets x reps 1 - 2x12 2 - 2x10 3 - 2x8 4 - 2x6 5 - 2x5 6 - 2x4 7 - 2x3 8 - 2x2 9 - Attempt Max Anyhow, program is simple and i like it. I know everybody does Westside for powerlifting, but I'm not a seasoned Veteran, and plenty of successful powerlifters used this prior to there westside training. So if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me. And Ed Coan is awesome, so I don't mind using his methods. Monday - Squat day Back Squats - Periodized sets x reps Singe Leg Press - 3x8-12 Leg Curls - 3x8-12 Bent Rows - 3x8-12 Close grip Pulldowns - 3x8-12 Abs & Calves - 3x15-20 I threw 2 upper back movements in on this day because I feel like my upper back is a weak area. Wednesday - Bench Day Bench Press - Periodized sets x reps Inline Barbell or DB - 2x8-12 DB Military Press - 3x8-12 DB Laterals - 3x8-12 Tricep Movements - 3x6x8 Friday - Deadlift Day Deadlifts - Periodized sets x reps Good Mornings - 3x8-12 Lat pulls/Chin-ups - 3x8-12 Seated Rows - 3x8-12 Rear Delt Flys - 3x10-15 Bicep Movements - 3x8-12 Saturday - Light Bench & prehab shit Close grip press - 3 sets of 8-12 reps DB Laterals - 3x8-12 Scaption Raises - 3x10-15 External Rotation Exercises - 3x15 Tricep Movements - 3x15 so thats it.....i'll post the last couple workouts |

The Max Singles that I'm basing this periodization on are:
Deadlift - 435 (Belt & Chalk) Squat - 365 (Belt) Bench - 305 (Raw) These were the max's I hit with in the month of December, so yeah....I need to really bring up.....all 3. My weight is a fairly lean 220. By Fairly lean, I mean I have visible abs. |

great numbers on the squats. so do you have a leg that is stronger than the other when you do the single leg press? i can always do more with my left leg.

yeah, I noticed my left leg is little stronger than my right when I started these, however I always keep the weight the same for both. I don't need any imbalances.

My Lowerback was pretty tired out. It's usually why I ditch Bent over rows for seated rows.....too much stress on the lower back all in one session. I always loved those chest supported rows just for this purpose, but the gym I'm at doesn't have one.
I need to stop back in and check out you and your wife's journal's, how's progress? |
