Warm ups..
Kettle bell Swings ATG Squats 225lbs for 2 sets, 3 reps 275lbs for 2 reps 335lbs for 6 sets, 2 reps (75 sec RI) Romanian DB Deadlift 95lb DBs for 6 sets, 3 reps (30 sec RI) Calf Press 180lbs for 4 sets, 10 reps (45 sec RI) Static Stretched I was a bit rushed today which is why the warms were down, but as you can see, it didnt matter. 335lbs was not hard really. I am not fucking kidding. I wasnt winded, I couldve done more reps, I didnt need 75 sec. I am going ot get a better max arent I? I think the reason why I havent dipped into this more often is cuz of having a herniated disk. But today was just so fucking good. 345lbs.

Upper Week A
Warm ups..
3-point push up Planks Bench Press 185lbs for 5 reps 225lbs for 3 reps 275lbs for 2 reps 315lbs for 6 sets, 2 reps (75-90 sec RI) Yates Row 225lbs for 3 reps 285lbs for 6 sets, 3 reps (75 sec RI) Close Grip Bench Press 165lbs for 4 sets, 10 reps (45 sec RI) Wide Grip Lat Pulldown 160lbs for 4 sets, 10 reps ( 45 sec RI) Static Stretched Bench was pretty good. I did cheat a tad on form, so I may just use this weight until I can get form down nice. Yates was the same story. Both should remain. I would of done 6x2, but its not important for me to go gung ho on this exercise. Close grip was completed! Pulldowns were...well ya know.

Hip Thrusts Single Legged KB RDLs Conventional Deadlifts 225lbs for 2 sets, 5 reps 275lbs for 3 reps 315lbs for 2 reps 345lbs for 6 sets, 2 reps (75 sec RI) Transverse KB Lunges 10kg KB for 4 sets, 10 steps (45 sec RI) Static Stretched Today was pretty good. I find that deadlifts and squats are exercises that come into themselves throughout the workout. For instance, today seemed scary. Then it was fine. More warms perhaps?Transverse were up and easier. CEE kicking in here?

Upper Week b (MODIFIED, NIGGA)
Warm ups..
Cable Crunches Planks Planks & Push Ups on ball Standing OH BB Press The bar for 8 reps 95lbs for 5 reps 135lbs for 3 sets, 8 reps (30 sec RI; failed after 7) Weighted Chin Ups BW for 5 reps 25lbs for 3 sets, 8 reps (30 sec RI; 2 RPs in last set) Flat DB Press 110lb DBs for 5 sets, 5 reps (75 sec RI) T-bar Row 4 plates for 5 sets, 5 reps (75 sec RI) Cardio, Lactic threshold work 20 min Static Stretched I got a BF% test done on me and I am in the 22% range. With this kind of mass (218.8lbs), I think I might as well USE it. So volume has been reduced.As I can see, you too, that going for 12 to 8 reps while increasing intensity ~15% still resulted in failures. I kept the rests the same to keep my interests up. The second part was the same, which is WHY I kept the 30 sec intervals. Last 2 can go up, first 2 must remain.

By the way, I have gotten real good with my ankle movements in this exercise. It took 2-3 weeks to get the twist going without teetering over.

Arm Circles Push up on ball w/leg abducted Bench Press 135lbs for 2 sets, 6 reps 205lbs for 3 sets, 8 reps (30 sec RI) Yates Row 205lbs for 3 sets, 8 reps (30 sec RI) Close Grip Bench Press 225lbs for 5 sets, 5 reps (75 sec RI) Lat Pulldown 210lbs for 5 sets, 5 reps (75 sec RI) Static Stretched Despite feeling exhausted and sad, I was pretty strong. Low numbers sure, but with these rests, it should be taxing. Bench can go up to MAYBE 225lbs. Id say if I feel froggy I should jump. Same goes for Yates. Close grip and lat pulldowns were easier.

Conventional Deadlifts
135lbs for 2 sets, 5 reps 185lbs for 5 reps 225lbs for 3 reps 245lbs for 3 reps 275lbs for 3 reps 315lbs for 5 sets, 5 reps (75 sec RI) Transverse KB Lunges 4kg KB for 12 steps (wow) 4kg KB for 2 sets, 10 steps (30 sec RI) Static Stretched Deads were solid. Had little time today so I just warmed up with the same movements. Lunges were crazy hard. Today I was a little winded, so the volume was too much. I can get this though.

Stability Ball Alternating Step offs Planks on ball Standing OH BB Press The bar for 2 sets, 8 reps 95lbs for 6 reps 155lbs for 4 sets, 6 reps (60 sec RI; failed at the very last rep) Weighted Chin Ups 45lbs for 4 sets, 6 reps (60 sec RI) Flat DB Press 100lb DBs for 5 sets, 8 reps (60 sec RI) T-bar Row 3 plates + 35lbs for 5 sets, 8 reps (60 sec RI) Static Stretched School Work 1.5mile run = 24:44 SUCKS. Dammit! I failed on the last one! I couldve kept going, but god damn my breathing! ![]() Chins were pretty hard. I HAD good ROM until the later sets. See, is this a failure or what? Id say so. Flats were a tribute to lactic acid. God save me. No wait, my heart will. (the heart likes lactic) T-bar was tough too, but by this point it better be. ![]() So I had to do some homework and, well, its pathetic. I can do better. My cardio isnt my bottle neck, its my flexion in my feet. It burns so badly. I suppose its from lack of doing it. Any input?

The squats and deads were good. Better than last time when I was 100%. I was about 80% today, so I can go up. Grip started to fuck up after the deads though. I was even cramping afterward. ![]()

Hot dog, I think it was. I never get failures on Yates, yet here I was, looking like SHIT.I thought for sure I was gonna fire through close grip, but ohhhh no. Not today! Oh, but I got lay pulldowns. Ill tell ya something, it was tough. ![]() No, I had a rough day yesterday, so I am lucky that I got some numbers in.

Hip Thrust Single Legged RDLs (badly) Conventional Deadlifts 225lbs for 2 sets, 5 reps 285lbs for 4 sets, 6 reps (60 sec RI) Transverse KB Lunges 10kg for 4 sets, 16 steps (60 sec RI; abandoned again) Seated Calf 3 plates for 5 sets, 8 reps (45 sec RI) Static Stretched Ok I dont know why but I was VERY winded today. I have been using NITRIX (which I didnt know HAS CEE in it) with CEE. I dont know why these would make my cardiorespiratory worse, but possibly. Anyway, deads can go up. Transverse lunges are pretty hard. Tried to do 8 steps on one side then 8 on the other instead of alternating them. It still takes forever. Marching DB Lunges made this shit quicker. ![]() Calves will have to be done again. AKIRA's ROM is silly. ![]()
