Woke up feeling like a bag of sh*t. Bit of a stomach ache/nauseous. 

Tried eating breakfast and having coffee but wasn't interested. Laid back down for a while and felt a bit better, good enough to take the dog on a walk. This encouraged me to try to go to the gym. Energy was feeling good despite not having eaten much. 

Warm Up 

SSB Squats 

155x5, 205x5, 205x5, 255x5, 295x5 honestly these were the easiest they've ever felt but when I was engaging my core it made my stomach feel wonky and I was getting light headed so I called it and got out of there. 

Took a 90 minute nap and now I feel better. Hopefully it's nothing and I can get back to training tomorrow.

Was invited to go train at Brown University athletics training hall by my father in law so I was pumped to do it. I wasn't planning on it so I didn't eat at all. Felt good regardless! 

Warm Up 

Hang Cleans 

135x3, 135x3, 185x2 185x2, 225x2, 225x2, 275x2, 295x0 close! Not bad for not having cleaned in 2 months

225x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5 

Backwards Sled Drag / Close Grip Pull Downs 

4 rounds of 40yds @ 360# added / 4x10 @ 180# 

DB Bent Over Row / Wide Grip Lat Pull Downs 

3x10 @ 100s / 3x10 @ 160#

Warm Up 

SSB Squat 

155x5, 205x5, 255x5, 305x5, 325x5, 325x5, 325x5, 325x5, 325x5 first few sets were tough because I was dive-bombing into the hole and I figured out that going slower down really helped stay balanced more. Strength is definitely going up, very pleased. 

Reverse Hypers 

3x15 @ 450# 

Belt Squat / Ab Wheel 

4x12 @ 260# / 4x12 easy 

No time for conditioning as I had to renew my license. Will get it tomorrow.

Reverse Hypers 

3x15 @450# 

Belt Squat / Ab Wheel 

4x10 @ 270# / 4x15 lowered Belt Squat reps to 10 as weight goes up. 

Prowler Sprint/March and Seated Box Jumps

25yds sprint then 25 yards march @ 90# added x5 rounds coupled with 5 seated box jumps straight up and then back down for 5 rounds.  

Trying to slowly add more explosive movements into my training so I dont slow down too much.

Thanks, Al! That was the plan this off season. Not rushing into anything, really building each week. Starting in January, we get a bit more creative though!

12/7/17

Warm Up 

Front Squat (really loosened up my rear shoulder area/triceps trying to focus on creating a better shelf for these) 

135x3, 135x3, 185x3, 225x2, 225x2, 245x2, 265x2, 265x2 weight was really easy and it felt better with a more stable shelf. Tough on the wrists/elbows though. They need some mobility work. 

Dead Lift 

135x5, 225x5, 225x5, 315x3, 315x3, 405x3, 465x3, 465x3, 465x3, 465x3, 465x3, 465x3 felt pretty good. My off the floor weakness is beginning to show up, really gotta focus on keeping the upper back tight. 

Back Extensions / Lying Hamstring Curls 

4x12 w/ 45# plate / 4x12 @ 115# nice pump

Yoke Runs / Suitcase Dead with Farmers Handle / Dead Bugs 

4 rounds of 50 yds (25 then stop and turn around) @ 275, 365, 415, 505* not as much a run lol / 4 sets of 5 each side @ 185# / 4x40 reps 

Crushed

Left elbow was bugging me from last week, I hit the nerve where Golfers elbow develops after my Tuesday workout and it flared up some tendonitis pain. While it doesnt hurt to do regular activities, it was definitely a bit pissy today. 

Warm Up 

Bench Press 

135x5, 135x5, 185x5, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 295x5, 295x5, 295x5, 295x5, 295x5 wore a compression cuff for this and everything felt good. Weights felt light too, finally getting my bench back! 

DB Lateral Raises + OHP / Banded Close Grip Pull Downs 

25s x10+10 x 4 rounds / 4x10 @ gray band. 

DB Triceps Kick Back (didnt hurt elbow at all, no skull crushers tho, *tears*) / DB Rear Delt Flys 

4x12 @ 25s / 4x15 @ 25s 

20# Med Ball Side toss into Wall / 20# Med ball hammer wind and slam into ground / 1 minute row sprint / Triceps rope push downs / 70# KB Suitcase Carries 

4 rounds @ 10 reps each side / 4 rounds @  10 reps each side / 4 rounds with most distance covered at 290m / 4x20 @ 25# / 4 rounds @ 50 yds each side

Toasted

Had my sister-in-law's wedding this weekend where I was a groomsman so there was a lot of shitty eating, not sleeping much, and drinking. I survived and was interested to see how shitty today felt. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad!

Warm Up 

SSB Squat 

155x5, 155x5, 225x5, 275x5, 325x5, 355x5, 355x5, 355x5, 355x5, 355x5 these felt good. Really noticing that my knees stay out now when I drive out of the hole instead of collapsing. Only took 13 years...

Reverse Hypers 

3x15 @ 450# 

Belt Squat / Ab Wheel 

4x10 @ 270# added / 4x15 took shorter time resetting between reps, woof! 

Prowler Sprint + March 

3 rounds total. 25yds sprint at 90# added, then 25yds marching adding an 80# sandbag. <- The weekends events reared its ugly head here as I struggled to catch my breath and I felt like I had nothing left when usually I do fairly well and could get 1-2 more rounds. Oh well.

Warm Up 

Front Squats 

Worked up to 245 for a double and it felt bad. It's didnt hurt per say but nothing was moving well and my bar path was bad so I just called it for those. 

Dead Lift 

135x5, 225x3, 225x3, 315x3, 315x3, 405x3, 455x2, 485x3, 485x3, 485x3, 485x3, 485x3. 485x3 I would say 4 of these 6 sets felt really good. 2 of them I dont think I was tight enough in the upper back off the floor. 

DB RDLs / Hack Squat Facing Machine against Orange bands 

100sx8, 120sx8, 140sx8 / 3x8 at 2 plates per side. 

Yoke Runs 

365x50 yds, 465x50 yds, 465x50 yds, 465x50 yds really liking these

Belt Squat Marches / Planks 

3x70 @ 3 plates and a thick grey band / 3 minute long planks. Really happy with how much easier it is to make it to a minute. Could have definitely made it to 1.5 minutes!

Father-in0-law wanted to lift so we went to Brown University athletics weightroom, for a quick training sesh. 

Warm Up 

SSB Squat (different than my SSB, shorter handles, not angled) 

135x5, 135x5, 225x3, 225x3, 275x2, 295x2, 315x1, 335x1 much harder with the not EliteFTS Bar

BB Squat 

225x2, 275x2, 315x1, 365x1, 385x1 just wanted to see where I am at and 385 felt heavy on the shoulders but the legs did well getting it up. Also squatted in sneakers for the first time in almost 10 years so it definitely felt off. Not bad for the amount of drinking I did this weekend!

Pit Shark Belt Squat (much different than the Westside belt squat!) 

5x10 up to 6 plates per side. So nice having built in handles so i could really work the legs!

Sled Push / 14# Med Ball Wall Slams / 30" Box jumps 

360# added x40 yds / 5 slams per side / 3 reps x 3 rounds 

Sorinex Ab Roller 

3x10

DONE

Warm Up 

Front Squat *playing with some new form for my hips. Really having my knees go WAY wider than normal with my feet staying their normal width a part. Puts some more stress on adductors but it helps my rack position and upper body a lot. 

135x3, 135x3, 185x3, 185x3, 205x2, 225x2 interesting. Will keep practicing it. 

Dead lift 

135x5, 225x3, 225x3, 315x3, 315x3, 405x2, 455x1, 495x1, 545x0 boooo felt pinned to the floor. Just wasn't strong today. 

Yoke Runs 

365x100 yds *only put down to turn around every 25 yds, 545x50 yds, 455x50 yds, 365x50 yds 

ran out of time, done.

Just had some fun today, then another long weekend at the In-Laws 

Warm Up 

Clean to PP 

135x5, 135x3, 185x3, 185x3, 205x2, 225x1, 245x1, 255x1, really wanted to go for 270 but left well enough alone. 255 was really easy. Hoping for a PR here this off season. 

Hex Bar Deads 

270x3, 360x3, 450x2, 540x1 just felt slighted by deads the day before and I wanted to lift something heavy. The 540 felt WAY heavier than my 600 the year before, so something is not there strength wise. Breaking the floor was the hardest part, so I might just force myself into some deficits for a while. 

Farmers Carries 

135 a hand x50 yds, 185per hand x50 yds, 235per hand x50 yds not easy with super thick handles! 

Curls / Cable Curls / Paloff press 

A bunch x a lot

Moving into PHASE 2 of my diabolical plan to move weights good. More conjugate-y but definitely not conjugate. I wont claim that at all.

Pause Squats *3 seconds 

295x3, 295x3, 295x3, 295x3, 295x3 these were eaaaasy. Finally the hard work is paying off. 

Reverse Hypers / Bulgarian Split Squats 

3x15 @ 450 / 3x8 each leg @ 35# Dbs each hand. Finally no lateral leg pain on my right leg! 

Belt Squat / Ab Wheel / 27" Box Jumps with as little leg bend on landing as possible

Warm Up 

Got caught talking to a nice gentleman about highland games after he noticed my shirt. This turned into a 20 minute complete medical history of the man. I have the hardest time cutting out in those situations. Regardless, I had to speed up my work out a bit to make up for it. 

SSB Squats 

155x5, 155x5, 205x3, 205x3, 245x3 *add 120# chains 245x3, 245x3, *add belt 265x3, 265x3, 275x3, 275x3, 285x3, 285x3 about a minute rest in between sets due to losing time. Felt strong. Nice to have 400# on my back at the top which is where I lose my confidence usually. 

Reverse Hypers / Bulgarian Split Squats @ 40# DBs 

3x15 @ 450# / 3x8 each leg 

Belt Squat (super narrow stance) / Ab Wheel 

3x8 @ 230# / 3x15 

Called it here due to time constraints. Blegh
