oh this is so simple to understand....i read this wrong.....jeez....sorry to make you repeat yourself, sir.

Good work man. Way to stick with it even though the paper is coming due.

Deadlift Day
Cycle 18

Overall Impression:

finals begin this week...2 reading days and then 4 exams in 3 days....shite!

The Workout:

Mobility Drills
as usual...

Over Head Squats
tried to get into the groove. did a couple of sets.

Snatch Grip Deadlifts
- 205 lbs x 6 reps x 3 sets
this was hard as hell.

Rack Deadlifts
- 255 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
nice! i finally got my groove. i realized that i have to pull the bar to me during the set-up - not me to the bar.

Glute Ham Raises
- 9 reps x 2 sets

Ab Work
- Lat Pull Down Sit-ups = 80 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Grip Work
- Plate Pinch = 25 lbs x 20 seconds x 2 sets
- Farmers Walk @ 70 lbs x 3 sets

Military Press Day
Cycle 18

Overall Impression:

well, i got in 10 hours of studying today....i hate studying lol...

The Workout:

Standing Barbell Military Press
- 155 lbs x 1 rep
- 160 lbs x 1 rep
- 165 lbs x 0 reps
- 145 lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets
- 135 lbs x 4 reps x 2 sets
just like last week my reps were really slow and sluggish. even 45 lbs felt like a ton to me. i did 160 lbs easy then tried 165 but failed. im not too disappointed though....i need to come up with a new strategy for my press...i think i will stop doing standing presses for another 2-3 weeks. im gonna focus on seated presses. infact, i plan on making my upper body workouts more bodybuilding oriented for 2-3 weeks where i will try and get 8-12 reps on everything. other than the set-rep scheme everything else stays the same: exercises will be those that have maximum carry over onto key lifts.

Dumbbell Rows
- 75 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Cable Rows
- 140 lbs x 8 reps x 5 sets

Lat Pull Downs
- 170 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets

Facepulls
