Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I am in Dallas celebrating Thanksgiving with some friends. We decided to hit the gym today early in the morning. I hadn't eaten anything all I was sipping on during my workout was 2 scoops of whey and 2 scoops of dextrose.

As I mentioned last week, this week is gonna mark the first of a small singles cycle. If you need any info on singles training, please give this a read: The Singles Scene by Eric Troy and Joe Weir.

Workout:

Deadlifts:
415 lbs x 1 rep (91%)
435 lbs x 1 rep (96%)
455 lbs x 1 rep (100%)
425 lbs x 1 rep (93%)
435 lbs x 1 rep (96%)
415 lbs x 1 rep (91%)
415 lbs x 3 reps (91%)
I got carried away by the last set...I didn't go quite to failure though. My calluses got ripped out in 435 and I lost all drive so I got frustrated with this weight and decided to crank out 3 reps.

Renegade Rows:
35 lbs x 7 reps
45 lbs x 7 reps x 2 sets

Pallof Press:
42.5 lbs x 12 reps x 3 sets

Cable Wood Chops:
35 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets

Overall Impression:

I haven't been as consistent as I would like to be this month of November. Hopefully things will improve down the line.

I hope everyone's having a great Thanksgiving! Thank you for reading, guys & gals!

Next week I would drop the number of singles to 4 (+/- 1), rather than 6 (if you're following the 8,6,10,2 setup).

Beginning Thoughts:

I cannot believe the weekend is almost over. It literally flew by. Come next week I am going to be cramming for finals...Fucking terrible.

So, I had to skip yesterday's planned Press Day so I merged the two workouts together today.

Workout:

Front Squats:
255 lbs x 2 reps
275 lbs x 2 reps x 3 sets
315 lbs x Choke
So...I did my 3 sets with 275 which much better control than last time (I'm pretty pleased with that) but when I took the 315, I just couldn't do it. The bar was up against my throat and it literally choked me. I just stood with the bar for like 15 seconds, got extremely light headed and dizzy, saw some sparks and thought I was about to faint and I racked the weight immediately because I started learning backward. This has never happened to me before. Really miserable feeling. I am just waiting to break the 315 barrier lol....Only a matter of time, though. I am sure of it.

Dumbbell Rows:
125 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
125 lbs x 6 reps <<-- used straps
I saw 125 lbs DB's and I just had to jump on this. Hahah...

High Cable Rows:
160 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets
190 lbs x 5 reps
175 lbs x 8 reps
I used this new bar which I've never come across before and I wanted to experiment it with it for a bit. It was awesome.

Farmers Walks:
105 lbs x 1 trip x 6 sets
I was toasted after this. I got 2 clips of this in my video.

Overall Impression:

My next workout will be on Monday night (unless something unexpected turns up). I need to focus more on diet.

I hope y'all had a happy thanksgiving. Good luck for the new week, everyone and thanks for reading!

A 315lb front squat.... wow! I can't wait for the video of that one. You'll have it soon I'm sure.

IW

^^^ I don't think so....315 on a walkout is DAMN hard. I'm going to need to build some solid core strength right now.

I guess it comes down to what your definition of "soon" is.

Soon for me is the next month
