MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 3: Growth
Week 11 - Very High Volume
Upper Body Two

Beginning Thoughts:

Diet has been alright. Nothing special. I have been sleeping well too. I think I overate on a lot of food yesterday.

Workout:

Speed Pin Presses, followed by Rows and Dumbbell Push Presses. Concluded with Tricep work.

Overall Impression:

I was gonna go in and do another technique day but I don't have the time....So tomorrow is Week 12.

Have a good Labor Day Weekend everyone!

MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 3: Growth
Week 12 - Low Volume
Lower Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

It looks like this is gonna be a difficult semester...Lots of presentations and papers and homework assignments and exams....

Workout:

Started off with Front Box Squats. I was supposed to do 2x2 but I didn't know where I stood so I warmed up and took 225. I nailed those 2x2 sets. However, next I was supposed to strip the weight and do one set of 4 reps (1x4). But, I was so confident after 2x2 that I didn't reduce the weight and I just cranked out 225 for 4 reps.

Followed this with some low volume lunges and ab work. Short and sweet workout.

Videos and Pictures:

Probably....it was damn heavy. Form broke down after rep 2 because the bar was against my windpipe and I had to struggle to breathe.

i hate front squats....something about a bar stuck in your throat that just isn't appealing

Yeah me too. But I think it has some good carry over onto the other big lifts. I think being patient with it is the key. Like....12 weeks ago when I took up Front Squats I was only using 135 lbs. I took my time before I started adding more weight. I think this is the key. Being patient. Although, mind you, I was complaining about them the entire way

Beginning Thoughts:

I didn't really feel like working out today...I dunno why.

Workout:

Took 85's for inclines. Did 2 sets x 2 reps easy. Took 80 lbs and did 4 reps. All Dumbbell of course. Then I just called it quits. I wasn't feeling like working out.

Overall Impression:

Hopefully the next workout will go better.

Pitysister · 09-01-2008, 05:46 PM

one thing i never understood about the MS program...in the list of all the workouts...it never tells you what weights to use...or percentages..or anything.

EricT · 09-01-2008, 05:49 PM

Sure it does.
