Finishing off the week strong!!!

The last couple of training days have been awesome!!

Yesterday I hit chest with a lot of volume and I felt it!! Any time I flexed my chest (inadvertently of course) I would get a muscle cramp. I know this isn't a sign of muscle growth but it tells me that I hit the muscle properly. At the end of the workout I threw in some cleans..."for fun".

Today I squatted and squatted some more. Worked up to a heavy double and then worked down with 8 sets of triples. Fr conditioning I hit the prowler. This might be the best piece of gym equipment ever invented. I only did 6 "sprints" with 115lbs and I was totally gassed at the end. Then I attached a rope and did some back work. Here's a link with some prowler ideas:

EliteFTS Prowler challenge

Hopefully next week will be even better!!!

Workout log 10/1/14

This morning was an active recovery/bodybuilding day. I hit some snatches and threw in some back work in between sets. I'm probably going to have to ask for help on my oly lifting. I'm not getting the technique down and "muscling" the weight up seems more dangerous than its worth.

At the end of the workout I did some curls and tri extensions along with some prowler sprints. I think the prowler and i are going to become good frenemies.

While i was setting up the prowler I noticed that the gym has some farmer handles thrown in the corner...looks like I'm going to have to dust them off...

Just tired

I wasn't able to get up this morning. Super tired. I'm not sure why.

The way I organize things might be the issue.

Its the weekend!

I took a rest day yesterday (Saturday). It wasn't really by choice,  I was just dead tired....I guess that's a good thing. 

This morning (Sunday) I decided to go for a run. I ran a 5k last weekend and posted a horrible time. Granted, it was 80F and hilly, but terrible none the less (31min). So today I decided to train to reduce that time by 1/3.

Next week should be a good week.

TGIF

Snatches and bench were on the menu for today. Felt pretty good. At the end of the workout I threw in some bodybuilding work...

On a lighter note, I forgot my change of clothes at home (30 minutes away) so I had to drive all the way home...I got to see the family before work so it wasn't all bad.

I'm back

It's been a while since I've posted something. I've been in the gym this whole time but my focus has been all over the map. I started in a new gym that has all the equipment that any weightlifter would ever want.

Today I did squats and it was the first session while on Keto and the first session since my illness (cold) and vacation. Needless to say that it was less than impressive.

I hit 315lbs for a few sets and then some cleans.

I hope my strength starts to come back once I've been in Keto for a while.

I'm still here

Its been a while since I posted anything. Mil press today. I bought jim wendler's new book on 531. This week was 3's week and I hit some "joker" sets (buy the book), a rest pause set and then some 5x10. I've been experimenting with peri workout carbs. I think only having carhs around my workout is the best for me.

I've also decided to move my PL competition back to April.  This gives me more time to get stronger so I can post some good numbers.
