Thanks Iron Worker.
I have trained on and off over the years. Before starting the Texas Method I used a very poor HIT routine for about a year. I was only training once a week. I had no conditioning. So I was pretty much starting from scratch after reading Ripptoe on the Texas Method. Starting Strength really got me on the right track. Hey Hopper, Im interested in this dynamic effort stuff too. I might give it a try this week instead of PR's. Thanks mate. Marv. |

Thursday 20th Dec
Dynamic day (PR) day. Squat 75kg 10x2 60 seconds rest. Bench 60kg 7x3 started to play around with power cleans. I will start learning this lift. |
Cool Marv Ill be following this closely to see how it affects volume day.All the best of luck with it mate.
Hows the weather over in melbz mate,over here its been hot 1 day and then raining today WTF? |
Yeah it was so humid yesterday, but it pissed down in a major way.
It was abit wet today also. The dynamic stuff was a nice change on thursday. I really didnt feel like lifting heavy and it was good to try something new. |
Sunday 22nd Dec
Volume Day Squat 145kg 5x3 Bench 117.5kg 3x2 1x1 Chins 22.5kg 2x5 1x4, BW 1x9 Grip Work 85kg 3x5 Squats are still moving. The new rep scheme 5x3 and the dynamic work on thursday seems to have helped there. I was very happy about that. Bench is not as easy to move, however I made 3x2 today. 1 more rep than last week. I was hoping to get 4x2. I will try again next week. Hopefully more dynamic bench work will get things going. I didnt do rows today, one of the tendons or ligaments in my left elbow keeps getting agrivated by them and the power cleans I tried the other day. I have a new memory card for my camera, so some vids will be coming sooon....... Marvrock. |
Sweet lifts Marvrock
Glad the speed work is helping so far.Question, are you speed squatting off a box or still just free standing squats? Also just an observation, your bench volume day seems to lack Volume! I mean 7 reps isnt alot of volume.Please feel free to tell me to STFU, but maybe a little less weight and more reps migh be just the ticket?? dunno mate good lookin workout anywayz. Looking forward to some vids too mate. |
There just standard speed squats at this stage. I have never done box squats. Yeah I was thinking the same thing with bench, not much volume there. I might lighten up a little and aim for atleast triples. Thanks Hopsky.
