95lb x 5
115lb x 5
135lb x 3

145lb, 145lb, 155lb, 155lb, 165lb - 5x10

I matched my old rep PR and I felt like I could have done another but I didn't want to get crazy with it. One increase at a time.

Chin ups
bw x 7,5,5ish,4,3ish

I got one more rep on the first set ... but I die off so quick after that!

Thoughts

Felt like a reasonably strong workout.

Dead felt solid today. I could have done 1 more rep but I kept one in the tank becaues I know week 2 and week 3 are going to be tough weeks ahead.

Weight still climbing up ... so that's good.

Military press seems to be the one that consistently goes well. I don't get it. I feel like I rocked this workout again.

We're going to throw the accessory to Friday's workout ... which will probably actually happen on saturday.

135lb,145lb,155lb,175lb - 4x10

An pretty good improvement over last cycle's shittiness but not a PR overall. I am trying to "keep one in the tank" and hoping that it carries over better into week 2 and 3. We'll see.

Pull Through
50lb 3x10

superset with ...

Dumbell Rows
90lb 3x10

Thoughts

Well somehow I'm up 3lb this week. Whoa! I better watch that or I'm going to pick up a bunch of fat that I just have to get rid of later. I'm quickly approaching my heaviest ever and 200lb (which I've never broken before)

I feel better this cycle but we'll see what happens with week 2.

I lost count a couple times so I'm not sure if I completed this. Not even sure if I did 5 sets. lol


Thoughts

A decent increase on deads today. I'm happy with it. I'm getting pretty close to where I was when I peaked before my injury. Hard to imagine I've lost that much time working out ... but I guess no one to blame but myself for that one. Damn.

Happy Holidays Everyone!


I got a CoC #1 and a trainer from my sister and brother in low. Awesome. I can credit card close the #1 with my right if I set it just right but I'm not quite there yet with the left.

The trainer should be a good compliment to the #1. I can do about 10 with my right and 8 with my left.

I'm pretty pumped to get working on that and I'll ave to buy the next couple.
