Deadlift Training
Mesocycle 18 - Week 1

Beginning Thoughts:
Been eating right for the last few days...
Workout:
Deadlifts:
415 lbs x 2 reps
425 lbs x 2 reps
435 lbs x 2 reps
435 lbs x 2 reps
445 lbs x 2 reps
I had to hit 5 doubles today...My camera messed up on the first set with 435 and it got blurred (weird).

Front Squats:
185 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets @ 65%
I am using the Brad Gillingham cycle for Front Squats for the next 12 weeks (or so). I have a feeling I overstated my lifts so I might be in a bit of trouble soon lol...

Weird Ab Exercise:
BW x 7 reps x 3 sets

Hand Extensions:
2 bands x 10 reps x 3 sets
This a new grip exercise. We're so used to training our grip (whether it be crushing grip or static grip or that third form of grip training which escaped my mind lol) that we neglect our antagonistic grip muscles. So, while I also train for squeezing my hand, this exercise forces you to open your hand. I have a video up of it too...

Overall Impression:
I hope everyone is having a good week...Tomorrow is Friday finally lol!!! Cheers and good luck!!!

Squat Training
Mesocycle 18 - Week 1

Beginning Thoughts:
Just got back from the gym...
Workout:
Front Squats:
255 lbs x 1 rep @ 90%
225 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets @ 80%
Running the Gillingham cycle right now. My boy Xiva from Muscle Mecca suggested this cycle...Let's hope I make some gains on it!

Metabolic Conditioning for 2 rounds:
Unilateral RDLs = 25 lbs x 7 reps
Swiss Ball Jack Pikes = BW x 10 reps
Cable Pull-throughs = 80 lbs x 12 reps
Side Plank Rows = BW x 30 seconds
I haven't done any conditioning training in like 5 months now. I want to get back to doing this more regularly because it keeps me in good shape. I have to make sure I don't overdo it because this stuff drains me. Today was a reasonable okay day and I managed to do some good. My form was kinda iffy on several sets (y'all can see that in the video) but it will improve.

Grip Training:
Crushers @ 150N for several sets, reps and static holds
I managed to get my hands on one of these crushers (CoC I think) and I used it. Pretty cool.

Front Squats & Metabolic Conditioning:
Overall Impression:
Pretty tiring workout....
