MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 2: Build
Week 7 - Very High Volume
Lower Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

So..I have been MIA for a while now....mainly because Delta's airplane landed late in Cincinnati and I missed my connection from JFK to Mumbai last Sunday. So...Delta put me on standby for 4 nights. I managed to get back on Thursday night. I hate Delta and I will probably never fly on that airline again. They gave me no hotel accommodation or meal vouchers. Nothing. I was put on my own for 4 nights in New York. I spent two of those nights at the airport.....I have had a miserable experience with Delta.

Workout:

I did cluster sets for Front Squats today. I took 175 lbs again and hammered out those sets. Good stuff. Moved on from them onto Step-ups and Bar Rollouts and Glute Ham Raises (no machine so did them ghetto-style and it was not a pretty sight ) and concluded with Unilateral Box Squats.

Overall Impression:

A good start to a potentially taxing week

Have a good weekend everyone

Oh...and I saw Batman: The Dark Knight. Awesome movie.

Sorry to hear about your crappy experience. Hope you have a better week. I've heard the same thing about The Dark Night. Looking forward to seeing it... Nice front squats.

Thanks for the wellwishes Ross

Those front squats were better I think. I have a video but I need to go buy an adapter so I can upload them onto my laptop...It'll take me a week or so before I can regularly upload my vids. Also, some/most of my vids have been taken down from Photobucket...This is a routine procedure because I keep adding new ones somewhat regularly....

MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 2: Build
Week 7 - Very High Volume
Upper Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

I slept in all the way till 3 pm today lol...and no jetlag because I slept throughout the 17 hour direct flight from New York to Mumbai. Good stuff.....Also, on a diet update: I have eaten over 3 kilos of chicken over the last 2 days that I have been home. Granted that the chicken was not bone-less, I presume the weight of the bones must be at the most 750 grams...so that leaves 750 grams of chicken meat for me

Workout:

Cluster sets of Incline Barbell Bench Press with 155 lbs. Pull-ups were super-setted and cluster-setted as well. I cannot believe I nailed 48 pull-ups today!!!

Concluded with some Dumbbell Presses, Rows and Zottman Curls.

Overall Impression:

Tomorrow is Deadlift day....I am nervous...

I hope everyone is doing well!

MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 2: Build
Week 7 - Very High Volume
Lower Body Two

Beginning Thoughts:

I've eaten a lot of food today. I might start eating less because I am estimating my cals to be around 4000 on a bad day....which means my good days (like today) hover around 5000-6000. And I don't think for my size and for my goals (gradually get leaner) this is a good idea....Oh well....onto the workout.

Workout:

Broad Jumps = 5 reps x 6 sets
Deadlifts = 285 lbs x 5 reps x 5 sets
Reverse Lunges = 25 lbs x 6 reps x 4 sets
Paloof Presses = 22.5 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets

Overall Impression:

Great workout. Tomorrow is Upper Body Two....

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
