Thanks, Billy!

The Waterbury Method was created by Chad Waterbury. It's one of the many programs outlined in his book. I posted the two relevant pages from the book (in PDF format) in this post (Better Than Ever).

As you can see, the routine paid off.

Damn straight! Actually, I am working. I building a website for a company out of California. The couple of grand will help out.

And you really should give The Waterbury Method a try.

You Lose, Perfect!

Well, at 21:40 I got kind of uppity. I decided, for no particular reason, to try for a PR in Deads. My standing PR is 300. So I went for 305.

I think my colon fell out.

It didn't happen in a very grand way. Humiliation tastes better when you eat it alone.

In truth, I haven't done Deads for 4 or more months. I'm not surprised that I failed. Maybe after I do the Total Strength Program for Benching, I'll do it for Deads.

Deadlifts
3 @ 135
1 @ 205
1 @ 255
colon @ 305

I know it's not suppose to be funny....but....

colon @ 305 got me...hehehehehe

NordicNacho · 01-04-2008, 12:29 AM

nice numbers on the deads, Im staying away from them for a while.

katt · 01-04-2008, 09:07 AM

So you failed or lost your colon at the 305?... or both? Those are still really great numbers for not having done them for awhile.

Of course it's suppose to be funny.

Why is that? Back problems?

Thanks, katt.

I don't think there's anyway to lose your colon and call it a win.

Test-o-rama

I did the basic testing that my new routine calls for. Pretty much, I tested to see which handhold I was weakest on with benching.

The handholds are wide(index on the rings), medium (pinkies two inches inside the rings) and close (thumbs just outside the shoulders). It turns out that I'm weakest with the close hold. So that's the hold that I'll be focusing on.

I've attached my new routine in PDF format to this post. I'll start the new routine on Tuesday.

I almost forgot! For getting my two PRs, I've earned the right to post a Grimey!

Pylon · 01-06-2008, 09:00 PM

She seems to be excited about your PRs!

Scarface30 · 01-07-2008, 10:36 AM

yes, she seems to be rather excited indeed.

for some reason I can't open your workout file

Witchblade · 01-07-2008, 04:30 PM

How do you plan to do 50 rep sets of pull-ups?

I was able to open it. You do have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, don't you?

Assisted, and with a lot of moxy.

goob · 01-08-2008, 06:16 AM

I think you have an obsession with your colon DOMS. It's as almost as if you want to see it fly out of you. Still, good work on those deads, still way better than I could do.

SamEaston · 01-08-2008, 06:23 AM

Hey DOMS - good to see you're back at it!

New program looks tough, watch out for those heavy skullcrushers. I swear they are the cause of my elbow pain.

Thanks, Sam. I'll keep an eye on them. I have heard that heavy Skullcrushers can mess up the elbows. It's seems to happen to some and not to others. I hope I'm one of the "not to others."
