FULL BODY TRAINING - Mesocycle 26 Week 1
Last week was hell at work. I worked 14-16 hours for 4 days straight. I'm not bitching. I'm just giving excuses for not updating this log in a week!!!
Well, the bad news doesn't stop here. Last week I couldn't workout 4 times. I went in on Wednesday just to do some basic stuff because I had 45 minutes to train before the gym closed.
Front Squats:
275 lbs x 1 rep
Decided to stop here.
Pull-ups:
12 + 11 + 11 + 12 = 46 reps
Awesomeness

FULL BODY TRAINING - Mesocycle 26 Week 2
Session took place on Wednesday. It was really good. I realized my mistake for the previous Front Squat session (on Tuesday) had been a lack of mobility drills. That is what my form blew and I kept having that damn buttwink.
Back Squats:
275 x 5
315 x 5
345 x 1
315 x 4
Easy easy easy. I am going to play with 315 and own it. After that, my goal is to hit 365x5 by the end of the year. But right now: I want to own 315.
Pull-ups:
13 + 11 + 11 + 12 = 47 reps
Rope Pull-ups:
6 + 6 + 6 = 18 reps
Total Pull-ups = 47 + 18 = 65
So awesome!!!!!

DEADLIFT TRAINING - Mesocycle 26 Week 2
Saturday's training was awesome. I almost had the whole gang in the house....Kanishk, Bijoy, Devraj, Lorelli...it was a blast!
Banded Deadlift Warm-ups:
Mobility Drills
135 x 3
135 x 3
225 x 4
255 x 5
Banded Deadlift Work Sets:
315 x 4
345 x 3
345 x 3
375 x 2
375 x 2
The looks that I got were pretty funny lol...This was damn difficult. Next week the approach to this is going to be different. I am going to be working up to a "Struggle Set". What this basically means is that I am going to work up to a weight which I cannot lockout - a weight with which I will struggle when it is at my knees or thereabouts. After this Struggle Set I will reduce the weight and try locking out the reps. The goal is to explode off the floor on each and every set from the get go. Anyway, I'm gonna work up to the Struggle Set, do that for maybe 1 more attempt, reduce the weight, do a bunch of heavy lockouts with the bands on. Then, if I feel good I will take the bands off and do some heavy deads...otherwise I'll pack up.
Deadlift Work Sets:
415 x 2
455 x 1
455 x 1
Decent. Just wanted to get some heavish sets...nothing fancy.
Pistol Squats:
+50 x 5
+50 x 4
Front Planks:
BW x 60 seconds x 3 sets
