If you have any more questions about my training, feel free to hit me up. I don't talk much about training coz I figure no one is interested...but if you'd like I can always explain what I am planning and stuff with my training.

Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 15 - Week 1
Press Day
Beginning Thoughts:
SI have decided to alternate Military Press and Bench Press from here on out. This week I started it off with Bench Press. Next week I will do Military Press and so on and so forth. I am keeping a simple linear progression scheme of 5x3 and my base weights for Bench is gonna be 185 and for Military is gonna be 160. After 5x3, I plan on hitting one or two slightly heavier sets just for kicks. Workout:
Bench Press:
185 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
225 lbs x 1 rep
Dumbbell Rows:
120 lbs x 2 reps x 3 sets
High Cable Rows:
160 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets
Facepulls:
80 lbs x 15 reps x 2 sets
Ab Rollouts:
BW x 10 reps x 3 sets Videos:
Press and Rows:
My boy Didier hit a 365 Deadlift which is a new PR @ 140 lbs BW:
Overall Impression:
I am swamped with school work this week. I have 3 exams in a row from Tuesday - Thursday. So I am gonna be missing my Pistol Squat workout but I will hit the gym tonight for Squat Day.
I hope everyone's had a good weekend so far and thanks for reading!

Nice bench grinder!
And that is a hell of a ratio that your friend is pulling. 2.60x BW. Wow!

My friend Didier has been training under me (no pun intended) for 2 years now...and he's been recently focusing a lot more on boxing with very little time to workout. He trains for boxing 3x a week and hits the weights 2x a week. Session 1 involves some heavy deadlifting and pressing. Session 2 involves some heavy squatting and pull-ups. It's been working wonders for him and he's progressed quite a bit.

Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 15 - Week 2
Squat Day
Beginning Thoughts:
So...it's been 5 days since my last journal update. Last week was one of the worst weeks of my life. I was swamped with school work and I didn't get more than 3 hours of sleep each night.
I am going to be starting a new singles cycle for Deadlifts (more on that later) come next Thursday so this week's Deadlift workout was going to be very light. Since I hadn't been sleeping well (or at all) I decided to skip it. I went in yesterday and did a squat session though. Today's gonna be a press day and tomorrow I'll focus on pistol squats. Thats the plan so far.
If any of y'all are interested, my next Deadlift cycle of singles can be found out here: The Singles Scene. I will be starting this come next Thursday (on Thanksgiving Day). Workout:
Front Squats:
255 lbs x 2 reps
275 lbs x 2 reps x 3 sets
295 lbs x 1 rep
Decent work.
SSB Squats:
335 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
This felt SOOO heavy..
Unilateral RDLs:
40 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
Farmers Walks:
105 lbs x 2 trips x 3 sets
Each trip is 25 feet. So each set was 50 feet. And 3 sets made it 150 feet total. I am underestimating these values though.
Weird Ab Exercise:
BW x 6 reps x 2 sets
I really need to come up with a name for this exercise. Videos:
Unlike last week, I did NOT forget my camera. Here's my squat session:
Overall Impression:
I am eating right and sleeping well for the last 3 days. I did eat decently inspite of having a terrible week though.
I hope y'all are having a good weekend. Thanks for reading!
