Workout A

The Core Workout:

Barbell Back A2G Squats [3x5] = 100 kgs (PR)

Bench Press [1x5] = 60 kgs / 65 kgs / 70 kgs

Power Cleans [5x3] = 40 kgs (PR)

High Pulls [5x3] = 40 kgs (PR)


Barbell Back A2G Squats
mission accomplished .... in all, i did 3x5 with 100 kgs + the weight of the barbell (10 kgs) = 110 kgs... the damn power cage is gonna take some time to install and this lift took all i had.... i'm not gonna push any more... but i'm 2 thrilled for words....

Bench Press
there is no abuse i know which is suitable for this lift... i took 65 kgs after sufficient warm-up sets (basically i did everything i could to prepare for this lift) but got screwed in 2 reps... so i decided to pyramid this.... and then too it was shit... in my last set i did 70 kgs for 2 reps to complete failure... i truly hate this lift... kinda burst my bubble for the rest of the workout - until i remembered hrdgain's article and got motivated again...

Power Cleans
very nice..... i enjoyed doing them, though my last set was shit coz i missed 10 times but then got it finally for 3 reps straight...

High Pulls
first time i'm doing them, but i guess 40 kgs is ok..


Supplemetary Lifts:

did not do any supplementary lifts coz i was very exhausted...

Overall Impression:

add 10 kgs to all my lifts if u want to know THE EXACT value of everything i'm doing... i cant believe that just a month before i did 90 kgs squats for a single rep to failure and now i'm doing 3 x 5 x 100 kgs...! and the olympic lifts are amazing... sad thing is, my knees and thighs were aching like mad after my last set of high pulls... good thing i did DC stretching....
