Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 15 - Week 3
Pistol Squat Day
Beginning Thoughts:
I was not supposed to workout yesterday because I usually take 2 days off before Deadlifts. But, I decided to go in because this November has been terrible for me in terms of training frequency. I've been skipping my workouts like none other. So I figure with all the down time I can handle a wee bit more frequency for one week. Workout:
Pistol Squats:
6 + 6 + 9 = 21 reps
I really tried to focus on keeping my leg suspended (the leg I am not squatting on, ofcourse).
Pull-ups:
BW + 20 lbs x 3 reps
BW + 30 lbs x 3 reps
BW + 40 lbs x 3 reps
BW + 30 lbs x 3 reps
BW + 20 lbs x 3 reps
Total Reps = 15
Weird Ab Exercise:
BW x 4 reps x 3 sets
Side Plank Rows:
22.5 lbs x 30 seconds
27.5 lbs x 30 seconds
32.5 lbs x 30 seconds Videos:
Pistol Squats, Pull-ups, Weird Ab Exercise and Side Plank Rows:
Overall Impression:
I hope everyone's having a good week so far. Thanks for reading!

I'm glad you didn't try to suspend your other leg.... that would be called levitation and if you could do that I don't know why would be squatting anyways. lol

Levitation is out but you can at least work up to water pistols.

Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 15 - Week 4
Deadlift Day
Beginning Thoughts:
I have had a very relaxing week. Next week exams begin and all hell will boil over.
It's also bitterly cold here in San Antonio. It's been in the low 40s all week and I hate this weather. One of the reasons why I chose Trinity University was so I could enjoy the warm weather. Workout:
Deadlifts:
415 lbs x 1 rep (91%)
435 lbs x 1 rep (96%)
455 lbs x 1 rep (100%)
455 lbs x 1 rep (100%)
425 lbs x 1 rep (93%)
I got 1 more rep than last week with 455 and I think my form improved as well. I am looking forward to next week when I am supposed to do 9 singles again.
Weird Ab Exercise:
BW x 5 reps x 3 sets
Ab Roller:
BW x 10 reps x 3 sets Videos:
Deadlifts and Core Training:
Overall Impression:
I hope everyone's having a good week! Thanks for reading.
The weather forecast says tomorrow is gonna be snow day. *shiver*

Thanks, Pity. It was supposed to snow here today but nothing happened. It didn't even rain. It has been bitterly cold in the low 20s (F) and I hate it.
